restrictions, I think the participants in our discussions were in full agreement with (Luther) on that, and they were grateful to know that there were and are religious leaders that looked very negatively on the avoidance of restrictions – restrictions that actually protect life. Luther and his colleagues were committed to an ethic of care, for the greater good. And Luther insisted that prior to any natural disaster – famine or plague – political leaders are responsible for ensuring that more than adequate

. And so one of the things that is perhaps not surprising, but very true is the complexity of harbor operations. It is not as simple as just ships come in, get unloaded by people and put on trains, and so forth. It is a very, very complex ballet of interests that intersect down here. And that complexity might surprise people. I also think a lot of people would be surprised by how much time we spend on environmental projects and the resources we put into improving the natural environment. These

SchoolsChief Leschi is one of nearly 200 tribal schools in the United States. Operated by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, it enrolls 670 students in preschool through high school.  Visual representations of Northwest Native culture and art are present throughout the school, and the curriculum is infused with the tribe’s cultural heritage.

I joined a concert band at school … band was my favorite. I played euphonium. The Essential Elements band folders we used for concert band came with free

all the way back to elementary school, I was fascinated by the human body. Then I loved all my science courses in middle school and high school. By the time I got to college, pursuing a pre-med pathway felt like the best reflection of my interests. Plus, I’ve always really enjoyed helping people, so it seemed like a natural fit for me. Like many medical students, you earned a Master of Arts in Medical Sciences (MAMS) degree prior to enrolling in your doctoral program. What was that program like

July 27, 2011 ‘We are all Norwegians’ By Loren J. Anderson Ladies and Gentlemen: We gather this evening to remember and pay tribute, to share our hurt and show that we care, and to grieve for those we have lost, even as we reach out to support one another.

wisdom of the wild, a wisdom, unfortunately, all too quickly forgotten. Which is why we return: to witness the harmony of complex patterns rendered simple, and to consider stress as natural, as better observed from a place of buoyancy.

The idea is that we can post our recent music there and listen to it, and respond — both synchronously in conferences and asynchronously in chat rooms.
