address is entitled: “New Wineskins: The Lutheran Contribution.” In science the present geological changes to the planet announce a new geological age, the Anthropocene, as a successor to the present age, the late Holocene. For humans this is, to remember a parable of Jesus, “new wine” that requires some “new wineskins” (i.e., a different way of life). Rasmussen will explore what these new wineskins and what are the contributions of Lutherans to them. Professor Larry Rasmussen will be the keynote

April 12, 2010 Upright dignity:Making a difference, one wheelchair at a time By Chris Albert In the distance as the dust sifts through the air, a middle-aged Iraqi man walks to a makeshift United States military medical station. Draped in his arms is a young child, his son. It is apparent the boy does not have the use of his legs. His father has brought his son to get a wheelchair. As the father and his boy get closer to the station, soldiers tell him, “You don’t have to carry him the whole way

the connections Thompsen ’94, ’97 made as a Norwegian while attending Pacific Lutheran University. Thompsen has more than 16 years of experience working internationally within sales, marketing and product management. After graduating from PLU, he managed Natilus Publishing in Seattle and returned to Norway in 2000. Currently, he is the head of Bid Management and Sales Support for Intelecom Group out of Norway. Thompsen and his wife have three children. To some extent, it was by chance that he came

every angle. He has reported on the arts, sports, current events and is a successful columnist. In 2004, he covered the 100th World Series and reported on the Boston Red Sox win, which he notes as a highlight of his career. He also recalled his time as a television critic as one of his favorite experiences. “There’s nothing like speaking to a group of fifth-graders and being able to answer in the affirmative when one of them asks, ‘Do you know Buffy the Vampire Slayer?’” Levesque said. With

Unfortunately, prior to the upgrades in the Lagerquist Production room this past winter we could only record two tracks at a time, or a single stereo file. This provided a new challenge for me: the mix I recorded was set in stone. If I failed to balance the instruments properly while recording, there would be no way to fix them later. I’ll admit, I was worried. I’d never been in a situation where I couldn’t go back and fix things in a recording, and this was my first time producing an album at PLU. My First

hormone [GH]. The treatments have been successful in many cases, adding to patients’ later height as adults. Until recently GH has been scarce, extracted from the pea-sized pituitary glands of cadavers. Now, however, Genentech, Inc. can manufacture it with recombinant DNA techniques, so there’s “plenty.” The treatments do cost $15,000 a year, of course, and usually they have to be administered for five years to make a difference, but GH is available.“We don’t know what to do,” the physician went on

themes. Lutes can choose from housing that uplifts gender empowerment and equity, creative expression, DJS (diversity, justice, sustainability), wellness, STEM, global engagement, and more. Cherish Scheidhauer, a PLU first-year student studying biomedical engineering, didn’t find out about RLCs until well into the admissions process when her admissions counselor mentioned STEM House. “It’s really cool how it brings people together based on their similar interest in STEM, but also it brings a lot of

March 9, 2009 NMR is no longer under wraps It looks like a rather fat, squat water heater. A water heater with a $743,000 price tag. But to the professors of PLU’s chemistry department, the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is a dream come true. It’s easy to see they still can’t quite believe, after 2 years of waiting and receiving a National Science Foundation grant they didn’t expect to get, that it’s finally here. After being hidden behind tarps and plywood, it’s now in full display on
