It's been more than a week since local children went back to school, and officials say this year is off to a good start.
Enrollment figures at local schools are also up, though the numbers likely won't be final until around Labor Day.
School personnel say students have adjusted well to their new school routines and no major problems have been reported.
Following is information about enrollment at each of the schools that responded to a request before press time.
Campbellsville Middle School
The former sheriff's deputy who broke the law he was hired to uphold has been sentenced to a year's probation for federal drug crimes.
He faced as much as three decades in federal prison and a large fine.
Billy Rice, a former Taylor County Sheriff's Deputy, of Campbellsville, was charged in early October with committing federal drug crimes. He had initially pleaded not guilty, but, in April, appeared before Chief Judge Joseph H. McKinley Jr. and pleaded guilty to three counts of distributing anabolic steroids.
When he ran for office in 2010, he said he was worried about the national debt.
Four years later, with the nation's debt increasing by about $1 million every minute, he said that worry continues.
United States Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told a packed crowd at Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce's monthly luncheon on Monday that the United States borrows nearly $1 trillion a year, and the nation's debt has spiraled out of control to $17.5 trillion.
It's going to cost about $620,000, but before all is said and done, it might cost even more.
The company that will install the new heating and air conditioning system at the Taylor County Courthouse has recommended that magistrates consider installing some additional equipment at the courthouse. The extra cost could total as much as $60,000.
Arthur Bottorff, an area service sales manager for Carrier, said the project to replace the HVAC system is under way.
They loved helping others, serving God and being together. And, last Friday, they spent the last moments of their lives that way.
John and Martha Boggs of Campbellsville died last Friday in a car crash in Columbia.
According to a Columbia Police Department report, officers responded to the scene of a crash at the intersection of KY 55 and Veterans Memorial Bypass.
Those paying city school taxes could pay more this year - a nickel tax more.
Campbellsville Board of Education members voted during their regular meeting on Monday that they intend to set the District's property tax rate this year at 53.2 cents per $100 of assessed value.
And, on top of that, they intend to levy a 5.6-cents per $100 of property value nickel tax, making the tax rate 58.8 cents.
The additional nickel tax will mean residents who own a home valued at $100,000 will pay $56 more in taxes this year.

An Albany man who serves as pastor of a local church has been indicted on charges of raping and sodomizing an elderly woman for whom he provided care.
If convicted, the man faces as much as 40 years in prison.
Jimmy H. Mason, 70, of KY Highway 558, was indicted last Tuesday by a Taylor County grand jury.
Mason was charged with first-degree sodomy and first-degree rape.
A Campbellsville man has been arrested and charged with his third DUI offense.
Kenny D. Webb, 48, of Osage Avenue, was arrested last Wednesday at about 9:45 p.m.
According to Webb's arrest citation, Campbellsville Police Officer Scotty Perian received a complaint about a vehicle. When he met the vehicle, he saw the driver turn into a driveway and then into a yard. Court records state that the driver exited the vehicle and then fell to the ground.
Campbellsville native J.B. Holmes is in Louisville at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club and played a practice round on Tuesday.
He also signed autographs for fans and received an honor from Kentucky State Police.
Holmes was named an honorary Kentucky State Trooper for his support of Trooper Island Camp, which is located at Dale Hollow Lake and helps children from across the state. The camp operates with no taxpayer funds.

POWAY (CNS) - A sweep of Poway and Vista by San Diego Sheriff's Department employing decoys posing as minors trying to buy booze found no violations, deputies said Sunday.
A $100,000 state grant to combat underage drinking and other crimes funded the decoy test, but this time both retailers and the adults walking into the stores said no.
Sheriff's deputies, agents from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and three minor decoys worked in the sweep.

The last few weeks we've had stories with folks predicting that QB Matt Hasselbeck will leave the Seattle Seahawks whenever the NFL lockout ends and free agency hits. Hasselbeck is entering the final year of his contract and it's telling (or so I thought) that the Seahawks didn't lock him up prior to the lockout.
Last week news came out that Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell reached out to Hasselbeck during the brief window in which the lockout was lifted and communication between coaches and players was allowed. And from that conversation, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports:
Hasselbeck was said to be open to the idea of returning to Seattle, where he developed into a Pro Bowl player. One source familiar with the quarterback's thinking said Hasselbeck now is "as likely to return there as he ever was."
This actually shouldn't be a surprise at all. Back in April he said he was "hopeful" he would return to Seattle once the labor situation is figured out. It would appear both sides have some interest in reuniting and if the lockout rolls into August or September, neither side may have much of an option but to get back together.
Hop on over to Field Gulls to see what Seahawks fans are saying about Hasselbeck's future.

Good research can help you succeed in a hiring interview. The goal is to figure out what an employer is looking for, so you can put your best foot forward.
Bill was an attorney looking for better opportunities. He had an interview with a big firm in two weeks.
He got in touch with the person who told him about the opening and gently probed for information. He learned the firm wanted a general business lawyer, but would value some experience in mergers and acquisitions.
He explored the firms website, looked up the person who was going to interview him in Whos Who, and researched the local newspaper archives and Martindale Hubble, a publication about law firms.
He learned the person who was going to interview him went to Notre Dame, as had his father. More substantively, he determined that several of the firms clients did a lot of business in Latin America.
From conversations with his lawyer friends, he discovered the firm expected young lawyers to demonstrate that they could develop business.
Bill's research had been very productive. Hed figured out he needed to emphasize his merger and acquisition experience, his ability to speak Spanish and his track record attracting clients. He also learned that his Notre Dame connection might provide an opportunity for personal bonding.
The interview went very well and he got the job. The partner who made the offer commented, "You were far and away the candidate who best fit what we were looking for." Bill knew that was no accident!

A person of interest is in police custody in connection with the shooting of a 6-year-old boy Wednesday evening in the Gage Park neighborhood.
The boy was shot in the shoulder while inside a vehicle about 5:40 p.m. near 56th and Mozart, Chicago Police said.
A man in the car later told authorities he had argued with two people on the street who threw bottles at his car, police said. As he was driving away, he heard gunfire.
A short time later, he realized the boy in his car had been shot, police said.
The child was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in serious condition, police said.
Police are questioning a person of interest in the shooting, police News Affairs Officer Michael Sullivan said.
Steven Hernandez was inside his home when he heard five shots and ran outside. He saw a gray car with a bullet-ridden back-seat window speed off.
He said the block is no stranger to gunshots.
"I don't feel safe with the gangs over here. This is [Latin] Kings area," said Hernandez, 24.
Hernandez said a house across from him has been the target of several shootings.
"You can examine that house. There's bullets all over it. Through the windows bullet holes and by the gutters," Hernandez said.
Police were questioning people inside that home Tuesday evening.
Last summer, someone fired shots on the same block while Hernandez and his family were enjoying an outdoor barbecue.
"My newborn niece was in a stroller, our whole family is out here," Hernandez said. "You got shots fired and you have a little baby in a stroller. It's ridiculous."
His uncle, Cesar Sanchez, said he's upset about the shooting but is used to commotion on the block where he has lived for years.
"It's not right. That shouldn't happen. There's no reason for that to happen," Sanchez said. "We've got idiots that live in the area and that's a part of life."

MALONE — Fair officials have asked Franklin County for $5,000 to award as prize money for a talent show because it can't generate enough sponsors anymore.
County Attorney Jonathan Miller said taxpayer dollars can't be given away, but legislators vowed to try to find money within the Youth Bureau budget to help next year.
Franklin County Agricultural Society President Dale Chapin and Secretary Pat Maneely recently made a pitch for funding, along with Michelle Schumacher, director of the Greater Malone YMCA.
The YMCA is paid $5,000 to organize the "Franklin County Has Talent" show, designed to give fairgoers another free activity with the price of their admission.
This year's show is at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, and is part of Hometown Day, which includes a parade at 6 p.m. through the village.
There are 40 participants signed up so far for the talent show, including singers, dancers and magicians.
Participation has grown so much that the event has to move to the grandstand's larger main stage.
Winners receive a total of $5,000 in prize money, but less than $1,000 had been collected as of late June.
In the past, the money was raised through donations from the concessionaires, whose businesses profit from the larger fair crowds and increased traffic through the village during Fair Week, Schumacher said.
In exchange, professionally produced advertisements are broadcast over the public-address system to promote each sponsoring business.
But many vendors have declined to contribute the past few years because of the slow economy and lower sales.
Some fair visitors bring their own food in or eat at home or a nearby restaurant before coming to the fair, Schumacher said, so they're not buying from the vendors.
And businesses in the community are hit up so often for donations that they just don't have any extra to give, she said.

WASHINGTON - More than half of the almost 2.2 million people who bought health insurance on federal and state exchanges in the last three months are older than 45, records released Monday show.
Almost 1.2 million people have enrolled in private insurance through the federal health care exchange from Oct. 1 to Dec. 28., Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said, and more than 1 million signed up in December alone.
Another 956,000 people have signed up for private insurance through state-based exchanges between Oct. 1 and Dec. 28, HHS records show.
About 55% of the early enrollees, Sebelius and other officials said, are between the ages of 45 and 64, an older group of people that often drive up health care costs.
Julie Bataille, spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said 3.9 million people have signed up for Medicaid directly through the states, and that some of those enrollments are renewals. Combined with the young people still covered with their parents, that comes to 9 million people enrolled in private plans or Medicaid who may not have had the coverage before the 2010 passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Despite the large percentage of older Americans buying insurance, about 26% of those who enrolled are younger than 35, HHS officials said.
Nancy Delew, acting HHS deputy secretary for planning and evaluation, said the percentage of young people is similar to that seen in the early months of Massachusetts' enrollment in its health exchange under former Gov. Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican nominee for president. The Massachusetts law, passed in 2006, was the model for much of the federal law.
Federal and state officials said they are continuing their efforts to advertise the need to buy health insurance to younger Americans, who are considered essential to the financial health of the health insurance market because they pay premiums but often do not use many health care services.
In essence, they help subsidize the health care costs of older people.
Delew said HHS expected older Americans would sign up for health insurance earlier, because they needed it, while younger people will wait until the deadlines.
Aaron Smith, co-founder of the Young Invincibles, a group that works to enroll young people in the exchanges, said the ultimate goal is that 37% to 40% of enrollees would be younger than 35.
"I think where we're at now shows that we're on track for that," he said. "We saw huge numbers in December, compared to the previous months."
Sebelius' announcement is another indication of the surge in enrollments since the troubled HealthCare.gov site was fixed on Nov. 30. But the early problems surrounding the site, plus controversy over insurance policies canceled because they didn't meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act, have damaged the early months of the implementation of this key part of the law.
"We're seeing a very strong response through the marketplace," Sebelius said, adding that people have 11 more weeks to sign up for insurance through the exchanges. Those who do not have health insurance after March 31 will have to pay a penalty.
States showing gains
Along with the surge in federal enrollments in December, state exchanges said they are seeing rapid gains.
Peter Lee, executive director of California's health exchange, said younger Californians are "enrolling at rates similar to their population."
California is also stepping its advertising to younger people. On Thursday, it will start a YouTube campaign that uses comedians, celebrities and athletes to "speak to young people about why health reform is so relevant to them." Though it's led by California, the Tell A Friend, Get Covered campaign is nation-wide.
Lee said the state will also focus on students returning to school after winter break. "It's all part of building on the momentum that there has been already to enroll young people," he said.
Monday's news comes just after CMS announced it has replaced its lead contractor, CGI Federal, with Accenture. Accenture built California's site, which has been leading enrollment numbers in the state exchanges.
"Accenture's been a very good partner for us," Lee said. "We've had bumps in the road, but it's been a well-managed process."

Brooks signed a six-year, $44.5 million contract extension with San Francisco on Tuesday that will take him through the 2017 season and keep one of the NFL's best linebacker units intact. The deal is worth $17.5 million guaranteed, said his agent, Greg Williams.||||||| Brooks emerged as a regular starter for the first time in his six-year NFL career last season. Along with All-Pro inside linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman and sensational rookie Aldon Smith at the other outside spot, Brooks helped the 49ers win the NFC West behind one of the league's best defenses. San Francisco allowed only 14.3 points per game, second only to Pittsburgh at 14.2.
Singletary said he didn't think Brooks, who suffered a lacerated kidney in practice Aug. 6, would miss any of the regular season.||||||| Brooks has been cleared for running, lifting and light exercise with no contact, but he did not practice.
The San Francisco have signed Brooks to a two-year contract. The team announced the deal Friday. Brooks had received a second-round tender but was able to reach a longer-term deal to stay in San Francisco.||||||| Brooks set a career-high last season with six sacks and tied the franchise record for forced fumbles by a linebacker with four. Brooks entered the league as a third-round pick by Cincinnati in the 2006 supplemental draft. He started seven games in two seasons with the Bengals before being released in 2008.
Brooks had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Monday to remove a small bone fragment, a procedure that likely will keep him out of San Francisco's season opener Sept. 13, at Arizona.||||||| Brooks had an MRI exam on his knee late Sunday and it was determined he needed surgery, which was done at nearby Stanford University. He is likely to be sidelined two or three weeks. Brooks, a fourth-year pro in his second season with San Francisco, is a backup outside linebacker to Parys Haralson. He wasn't active for any games last season.
The 49ers declared Brooks inactive for their game against Dallas on Sunday.||||||| Brooks has not played this season after being acquired off waivers on Aug. 31.

Browns rookie DE Jabaal Sheard knows he has a lot to learn about the professional game. So, in addition to watching film of opposing offenses, he studies defensive ends he admires. He has watched Colts DE Dwight Freeney, Bears DE Julius Peppers and Eagles DE Trent Cole closely, to name three top pass rushers, and he was impressed with Cole's excellent performance at Atlanta in Week Two.
"He's a monster," Sheard said of Cole.
In Cleveland, Sheard is getting a prime opportunity to make a name for himself, too. Installed as a starter at the beginning of training camp, Sheard, a second-round pick from Pittsburgh, hasn't lacked for playing time, and he has shown promise as a pass rusher. In a particularly exceptional moment, he beat Colts ORT Jeff Linkenbach off the edge and sacked QB Kerry Collins, who fumbled. Sheard recovered the fumble, and Cleveland added a field goal for its final points in a 27-19 win.
While the play was a wonderful individual effort, Sheard credits his teammates for telling him to stick to his pass-rushing technique before the sack. Veteran Jayme Mitchell, who starts at right end, has been helpful, sharing his observations when needed.
"Sometimes he sees a weakness in a guy that I might not see," Sheard said.
Sheard also credits the Browns' linebackers, an experienced group, for their work deciphering the offense's intentions.
"Those guys are calling out plays left and right," Sheard said.
Sheard, who began the season on the right side, has moved to the left side, where he played collegiately, and his quickness — his greatest asset, he said — could prove difficult for some right tackles to handle, as he certainly proved to the Colts.
Of course, pass rushing is only part of a defensive end's responsibilities. As a run defender, Sheard wants to improve getting off blocks and setting the edge. If he can't make the play, he said, he needs to ensure that his teammates can.
Sheard is one of several Browns rookies making an immediate impact. Starting DT Phil Taylor has shown major promise, contributing both as a run stuffer and as a pass rusher. OLG Jason Pinkston and FB Owen Marecic also have garnered starting roles. And WR Greg Little is already a key part of the passing game. It's a group, Sheard said, that has been "ready to play" from the start. And the Browns, who have relied upon their rookies, have needed it to be.

War Of Art can emerge victorious from what appears to be a trappy heat in the Betdaq 1st UK Race Commission Free Handicap at Kempton.
The three-year-old will be having a first crack in handicap company after claiming his maiden at the second attempt at Lingfield earlier this month.
He finished sixth behind the reopposing Jalingo on his racecourse bow but ran very green that day and appeared to be much wiser for the experience when recirding a near three-length verdict at the Surrey venue last time.
War Of Art clearly appreciated the step up to a mile that day and while Tom Dascombe might have liked a lower starting point than a mark of 78, it looks a workable perch with a horse that should really be progressing with every outing.
Andrew Balding can make two visits to the winner's enclosure with both Pool House and Alumina fancied to go well.
Pool House looks to arrest a frustrating run of second places in the Betdaq - The Sports Betting Exchange Median Auction Maiden Stakes.
The three-year-old has had to settle for the runner-up spot on his last three outings, most recently when beaten just a neck as an odds-on favourite at Lingfield back in November.
He was running on at the finish and perhaps having been tried over the minimum trip there, stepping back up to six furlongs is more suitable.
Alumina is another who hit the bar when last seen and should go well again in the second division of the Mix Business With Pleasure At Kempton Handicap.
She was beaten just over two lengths off a mark of 55 earlier this month and given the handicapper has dropped her 3lb subsequently, Alumina could be on a nice mark.
Corporal Maddox continues to give his best and he can gain just reward in the Winners Are Welcome At Betdaq Handicap.
The seven-year-old scored on turf at the Curragh last summer and while eight subsequent starts have failed to yield a win, he has made the frame on more than one occasion and is assured of putting up a decent show.
KEMPTON: 4.50 Kyle Of Bute, 5.20 Serenity Spa, 5.50 Starbotton, 6.20 Pool House, 6.50 Corporal Maddox, 7.20 Mahon Falls, 7.50 Alumina, 8.20 WAR OF ART (NAP).

Talk about being on the front lines...
Uneasily sharing a subcontinent, India and Pakistan target nuclear weapons at each other, quarrel over possession of divided Kashmir and compete for influence in war-torn Afghanistan. As this longstanding geo-political rivalry plays out, two Queen's alumni have front-row seats, serving as Canada's high commissioners to the two Commonwealth countries.
The two envoys both began their South Asia postings last September, but in very different circumstances. Stewart Beck, Artsci/PHE'75, MBA'79, arrived in New Delhi in time to see India host the Commonwealth Games. Ross Hynes, MPA'80, arrived in Islamabad in time to tour a flood-ravaged area of Pakistan that was "the size of Italy." The divergent fortunes of the two countries effectively define the respective priorities of the two diplomats.
India has rebounded smartly from the global recession with a nine per cent annual growth rate, and Beck is busy trying to increase Canadian trade and investment with the emerging economic superpower. A key step will be the negotiation of a bilateral free trade pact. "Optimistically, that will take a couple of years," he says.
"We're at $4.5-billion [in two-way trade] now… which is a drop in the bucket," says Beck. "We're shooting for $15-billion, but I'm more focused on increasing the number of clients we have working in India. We have 250 Canadian companies now. My target is 750 over the next three years."
Hynes, for his part, is keen to boost Canada's trade with Pakistan (currently only about $650-million per year). Pakistan, however, has been "cursed with natural disasters" that have made overseeing Canadian emergency humanitarian aid a major priority. Canadian relief aid, both governmental and private, for the victims of the 2010 flood was $100-million, which is double the amount that Ottawa spends annually on long-term development projects in Pakistan.
When the two Montreal-born diplomats aren't promoting bilateral relations, they're monitoring the sabre-rattling between New Delhi and Islamabad. The uneasy neighbours have fought three wars since gaining independence from Great Britain in 1947, and the danger is that a fourth conflict could escalate to nuclear warfare. The possibility of being caught in a nuclear cross-fire "is the reality that you live with," says Beck, "but it doesn't preoccupy every second of my day."
Hynes notes that "no two democracies have ever fought a nuclear war." He is encouraged, too, that the two rivals agreed in February to resume their suspended political dialogue. "Prospects for a détente," he adds, "are better than they might have been a few years back." Nevertheless, cautions Beck, "There's always an underlying tension, and I don't think it's going to go away in the near term."
Both of these veteran envoys continue to feel an affinity for Queen's. "There's a sense of public service at [the University]," Beck says. "Maybe that's what brought me to what I'm doing today." For two years, he was an assistant professor in the School of Business, before deciding he wanted to "go and see the world."
Beck joined the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) in 1982 as a trade commissioner. Since then he has served in postings in Miami and Taipei, and he was Consul-General to San Francisco/Silicon Valley and to Shanghai. In Ottawa, he served as DFAIT's assistant deputy minister for international business development. Overseeing the Trade Commissioner Service, he changed the business model of how it operated, abroad and in Canada, to better reflect the needs of its clients.
Ross Hynes joined DFAIT in 1976. His postings have included Warsaw, Lagos and Canada's U.N. missions in Geneva and New York. He most recently served as High Commissioner to Kenya, with concurrent accreditation to five neighbouring countries and two U.N. agencies in Nairobi. In Ottawa, he was Director General of DFAIT's Stabilization and Reconstruction Task Force Secretariat, an emergency-response unit experience that made him a logical choice for disaster-plagued Pakistan.
In their South Asia postings, Hynes and Beck are relatively close to each other geographically, yet getting together is quite a challenge. A direct flight from Islamabad to New Delhi would take only 46 minutes, if there was a direct air link. There's not. So when Hynes recently planned a trip to meet with Beck, he had to arrange a roundabout route via Bangkok, adding many hours to the journey. "It's what you do for Queen and country," he says.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Pamela Love's bold designs have always jibed with an individualistic, downtown kind of aesthetic, so it was on an intriguing note that she looked to factories as a starting point. "I was plowing through books on the Industrial Revolution—I must have read about six or seven of them," the designer said. "I thought there was an interesting irony, comparing factories to how I actually produce my jewelry, which is in limited runs." You could see the industrial weightiness in her sturdy arm and neck cuffs, but otherwise the inspiration wasn't taken so literally. Pieces were accented with turquoise, jasper, and malachite, and there was a warmth to the metals, courtesy of an antiquing process with the silver. The entire effect was slightly tribal and that was helped along by the show's styling.
More noteworthy were the geometric shapes, which, in a couple standout necklaces, tumbled together to form a sort of deconstructed Rubik's Cube. The designs felt modern but also had retro flavor. "I also looked to the Art Deco and Bauhaus eras for visual references," Love explained. Whatever the era, the pieces had versatility. They had the wow factor to hold their own at a black-tie gala, yet weren't too precious to wear over a simple white T-shirt.

Dietitian's tip: This lower fat version of macaroni and cheese gets its creamy texture and full flavor from pureed vegetables.
Add oil to a large skillet and over medium-low heat slowly cook onion, celery, carrot, garlic, cauliflower and squash. Continue cooking until onions become translucent. Add broth and bring to boil.
Use a blender to puree in batches until completely smooth. Be careful with the hot vegetables and make sure to not overfill the blender. Return to heat and keep at simmer.
In a separate large skillet, combine soy milk and flour. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Add hot vegetable puree, whisking constantly with wire whip. Bring to simmer.
Add 2 ounces grated Parmesan and 6 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Turn off heat and stir until cheese is melted.
Cook macaroni according to directions on package. Drain and combine with sauce. Serve on warmed plates.

The 2011 NFL draft is exactly one week away and we're still trying to nail down where the quarterbacks will go. Most feel confident that QB Cam Newton and QB Blaine Gabbert will go in the top five of the draft. After that, though, the quarterbacks are a mystery.
QB Jake Locker as been mocked as high as No. 8 to the Tennessee Titans and as low as the beginning of the second round so figuring out where he will go is a key to this draft.
If it were up to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Locker would be headed to the Washington Redskins.
"Locker likes getting out on the edge and he's mostly accurate off play-action rolling out right or left," Mayock said in a teleconference with reporters Wednesday. "That's what Mike Shanahan's scheme is. It's a lot of play-action. It's a quarterback making a decision on half the field. ... If he has a chance to play early and play effectively, I think that's the kind of system he's set up for."
Mayock recently said that, if Locker had some out last year, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan would have thought long and hard about selecting him with the fourth overall pick. Logically speaking, that would mean he's in play with the Redskins 10th overall pick.
The other chatter around Locker has him going to the Minnesota Vikings with the 12th pick -- assuming the Redskins don't take him which, according to Mayock, isn't a very good assumption.
Check out SB Nation's Hogs Haven for four reasons drafting a quarterback would not be the right move for the Redskins.

It's easy to go on and on about the wonders of Portland, as many have done. What it boils down to is this: Portland is, as the New York Times says, "hard to resist." Nestled among towering trees and trillium-lined creeks, our campus is only six miles from the city's vibrant downtown.
Straddling the line between a big city and a small town, Portland offers attractions and opportunities for almost any interest:
- Professional sports teams in basketball and soccer with devoted following (the Trail Blazers, Timbers, and Thorns).
- Major and minor performing arts companies, ranging from the Portland Symphony Orchestra to experimental theatre performances.
- Thriving visual arts, crafts, and tech communities supported by a strong city-wide DIY culture.
- A nationally recognized food scene with options ranging from fine dining to the famous Voodoo Doughnut and budget-friendly food carts.
- Easy access to the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest, with mountains, beaches, deserts, and forests all less than a two-hour drive away.
Portland is also where our students engage in community service, industry internships, and research projects. Although most undergrads live on campus, graduate and law students find housing in neighborhoods close by. Either way, cars are optional—getting around town is easy by bike, bus, streetcar, light rail, and Lewis & Clark shuttle.

It is a bit pricier than my t-shirts, but I think I may be purchasing another in a different color.

With no signs of oil production slowing down in the Williston Basin, ONEOK Partners plans to build another natural gas processing plant.
In addition to the new plant, they also plan to expand their Bakken NGL pipeline, all in an effort to reduce the amount of Natural Gas being flared in North Dakota.
ONEOK is the largest natural gas processor in the Bakken and now the company has plans to build it's biggest natural gas processing plant yet, The Lonesome Creek plant.
"Our total processing capacity is about 400 million cubic feet per day as we speak today, when we're done installing this plant we'll be close to 800 million cubic feet per day," ONEOK President Terry Spencer said.
ONEOK currently processes 50 percent of the natural gas in the Bakken, 30 percent of that is being flared right now, but once this new plant is up and running the company plans to reduce that number to 10 percent.
They're also investing in an expansion to their Bakken NGL Pipeline.
"Spending about 100 million dollars just on that pipeline expansion itself where we'll be looping the pipeline to increases it's capacity from an expected 135,000 barrels per day to 160,000 barrels per day," Spencer said.
Like all of ONEOK's plants, Governor Jack Dalrymple says its needed for the oil development in North Dakota.
"We are going to need this capacity, there's no question about it and we will hope that other companies as well as ONEOK continue to play a significant role in this effort," Governor Jack Dalrymple said.
"That natural gas will be used for primary home heating, used for commercial and industrial use in factories, in order for it to be usable, the natural gas liquids that are contained in the gas have to be extracted or stripped down, that's what these processing plants do," Spencer said.
The plant will be located 12 miles west of Watford City and is expected to be complete by the end of 2015.
The new Lonesome Creek Plant will be the sixth natural gas processing plant built in the region since 2010.

A 3-year-old Moss Point girl has been reunited with her mom and dad just in time for Christmas. Pascagoula police said the little girl was kidnapped during a carjacking Sunday evening.
Afterwards, Carlos Galvan and Diana Gonzalez have never been so happy to hold their 3-year-old girl Isabella in their arms.
"It feels great. It has been a very traumatic 24 hours," Galvan said.
Police said it all started at Walgreens in Pascagoula. Dad, Carlos, went in the store and left the car running. Mom, Diana, was in the backseat watching little Isabella and their newborn. Police said 25-year-old Bradley Scott Hilsabeck walked up and got in the car.
"He tried to put the car vehicle in reverse and leave. The lady was able to get the three-week-old child out of the vehicle, but the three-year-old remained in the vehicle," Pascagoula Police's Shannon Massey said.
Mom and Dad began panicking and someone in the store then called 911.
"It is hard for a father and mother to go what we went through," Galvan said.
All law enforcers in the county were alerted and the search began for the car and child. Police said they later found the suspect three miles away, but no Isabella.
"Officers then were able to talk to Mr. Hilsabeck, who was in custody, and he gave us a landmark."
Police said the child is lucky to be alive. They said the suspect dropped off the little girl in an extremely dangerous spot in Jackson County.
"She was sitting on the side of the road buckled in by the car seat, by two lakes that are known to be inhabited by alligators," Massey said.
Police reunited the mom and dad with their daughter about an hour later. The family said having the 3-year-old safe and sound again is the best they could ever have this Christmas.
"We were actually crying and thanking God for taking care of her while she went through her ordeal," Galvan said.
The suspect is charged with carjacking, kidnapping, and felony evading police officers.
