Nobody on my team has suggestions on covering a Donald Trump win. I don’t know what to write. The needle dips again; 52 percent in favor of Clinton. I leave thinking about the feeling of uncertainty, trapped in the traffic of the present moment. Our role for the night is to enter local returns into the computer

back to criticism of what we have been doing even for so many GH-deficient children. Undoubtedly, some GH- (and non-GH-) deficient children do deserve help; Turner’s syndrome patients, for example, suffer a wide range of other handicaps and medical complications, and their gain in stature of close to half a foot from GH may constitute a significant increase in otherwise highly limited opportunities. But they are the exception, not the rule.Am I wrong or insensitive in thinking that here is another

a visit to Decatur. Now, Gutierrez is entering his fourth year and final year of undergrad and getting ready to take the next step in his career — landing a job in critical care, hopefully working with children.   “Having the 253 PLU Bound scholarship enabled me to come to a great school, major in nursing … and be a part of this tight-knit community,” he said. “Going to PLU was just a dream come true.”  The 253 PLU Bound scholarship is available for any student from Washington state who is

beautiful room with chandelier lights and large windows—it was really wonderful. Then I walked out and played my piece. Mr. Feltsman’s first comments were uncushioned criticisms, and I was a little shaken even though I knew to expect it. After the class, I took notes on all he had told me and watched the other students. It seemed as if Feltsman was pretty blunt in his comments to all of his students—how did you react to that? Yes, he was very blunt! His initial words were particularly critical, but I

of initiatives is your team currently working on? Our team is working on some exciting initiatives and opportunities to expand our gateway. We are one of the largest gateways for trade in North America. That is profound because our population is so much smaller than that of other large gateways like California, New York, or New Jersey. We are in the major leagues as a port gateway, and it is an extremely competitive environment. That is why we are working on some critical initiatives to expand

me freaked out.” But she has since wrapped her mind around the challenge, and it looking forward to the task. Her advice for the new teachers in Alaska, Namibia, or for the many other PLU educators who will be entering the classrooms in the coming year? Weiss pauses for a moment. Then the ideas come in quick succession. Treat all kids as highly capable, they will rise to your expectations. Champion innovative thinking and look beyond the standardized test scores. Get kids to think. And one last

continue to fight each day, with his memory lingering in all they do — from online fundraisers for the Epilepsy Foundation to marches for equal rights. “We can keep Panayotis Alexandros Horton in our world by thinking and speaking our memories as long as we live,” his brother wrote. That’s how his family ensures their three-linked chain will never break, and — in Panago’s words — will carry on: “I am from a strong link of three,” Panago wrote in his “I Am” poem, in a class at PLU in 2008. “From a chain

recommended. “Our executive director is calling on billionaires of the world—many U.S.-based—to start extending their thinking to support populations,” he said.  “We’re looking at famine-like conditions for almost 30 million people in 83 countries, right now. We need about 5 billion dollars to respond comprehensively in 2021 alone.”  Donations are an investment in resolving issues now, rather than waiting for the world to head in the direction of war and further conflict, he noted.  “It’s an easy

master’s degree in kinesiology are well prepared for a variety of careers, and for that reason, salaries will vary. That said, equipped with graduate-level credentials, you can expect to make thousands of dollars more a year compared to professionals who hold only a bachelor’s degree. The Master of Science in Kinesiology at Pacific Lutheran University combines a rigorous academic experience with real-world and impactful applications designed to intentionally address critical gaps in kinesiology

most critical issues we could tackle, so I had to commit myself to this work. But I also grew up in the community and high school theater scenes. Storytelling is such an important aspect of the human experience. I was encouraged to connect the two and have realized that environmentalism, activism and art have historically been interconnected. Climate change involves a lot of data. Numbers and statistics are a lot for folks to digest, but art, theater, visual and music can help get information
