have a negative effect on birth mothers who had been promised secrecy by social workers at the time they had relinquished their babies. My earlier research was ambivalent on this issue, there not being sufficient evidence to support a conclusion, one way or another. But the paper I delivered in Sydney, based on new research in Great Britain and Australia as well as the United States, addressed this issue. My paper was the first one to test empirically how safe birth parents and adopted adults were

technology in education will continue to grow. We will never be a fully online university, and we may not, at least in the short term, offer completely online classes or programs. But I believe that we must continue to stay near the cutting edge in classroom-based technology use if we expect to compete for the next generation of the best and brightest.

Tonight, nine communication students and I join a select group who’ve experienced elections at KCPQ-TV, a Seattle-based news station. We dress in our best professional attire and cram ourselves into a van, the close proximity amplifying our shared nervous energy. No one knows what to expect — from the election or
