silent films to be released, and unfortunately fell into obscurity immediately afterwards. One of my goals with this project was to bring more awareness to the film. With realistic acting, crisp cinematography, and themes of family violence and women empowerment, I felt it had something to say to contemporary audiences. It has been well-received at every performance.Dr. John Paul conducts a local quartet performing his score to the silent film ‘The City Girl,’ during the Oregon Sesquicentennial Film

influenced Thebes and surrounding communities. Day’s point that resonated with each member of the documentary team was that water does not care about anyone or anything. It is a force of nature with no continence. Disasters caused by water are not done out of malice, but are simply nature acting as it should: Naturally. When asked if he thought humans should stop intervening in nature by manipulating the Mississippi, Day shook his head. He said that it was too late. There are too many things that rely on

thiosulfate. Aggregation of the resultant nanoparticles was controlled by subsequent addition of sodium sulfate which was found to be responsible for making the nanoparticles SERS active. Sulfate, acting as a capping agent, created an attraction between the anion and the molecule, which is necessary for adsorption. Once the molecule was attached to the surface of the nanoparticle, an enhanced Raman signal was observed. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) was the primary molecule used to test for SERS activity, to aid in

In Times Challenging and Uncertain: Plans Change – Values and Mission Endure By President Loren J. Anderson Welcome to our 2009 University Fall Conference. This morning we gather and prepare to launch the 120th year in the life of Pacific Lutheran University. We do so with…
changes in university leadership, and this year is no exception. So today we recognize Steve Olson who, in a seamless transition in January of this year, stepped up to lead as our new vice president for Development and University Relations. And just four weeks ago, Associate Professor of Physics Steve Starkovich became our acting provost for this year, enabling Provost Patricia Killen to embark on her well-deserved sabbatical leave. I ask today that each of you say “thank you” and pledge your full

A year of achievement and a Decade of Change Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is a great joy for me to welcome each of you to University Fall Conference as we prepare to launch the 2010-2011 academic year, the 121st year in the life of…
we successfully avoided any significant impact from the Swine Flu last fall. PLU intercollegiate athletic teams had another good year many posting winning records and garnering another conference championship in volleyball. Academic Affairs One year ago at this event, I introduced Steve Starkovich as our new “Acting” Provost while Patricia Killen was on sabbatical leave. At that time, no one, certainly not Steve, expected that he would return this fall with a shorter title. So let’s take a moment

eye disease, it is found that there are increased levels of reactive aldehyde species present. In order to relieve patients of their dry eye disease symptoms, it is important to block this inflammatory pathway, as this condition is often linked to inflammation. Molecules known as reactive aldehyde species inhibitors are beginning to be used as treatment against this condition. The drug under development in clinical trials for FDA approval acting as a reactive aldehyde species inhibitor is called
