Hall weighed 548 pounds in his first weigh in and after one year under Chris Powell, fitness expert and trainer on the show, Hall weighed in on Sunday at 267 pounds! He dropped from a size 70 waist to a size 38, losing over half of his body weight. On Good Morning America, Hall said:

My world is so different now because I can appreciate the small things in life…

A follow up from the Linus Pauling Day post from last week. The official Linus Pauling Stamp unveiling was held in the MU Ballroom yesterday. I wasn’t able to attend so I was very interested to see KEZI’s coverage of the event (which was great, by the way…Kudos KEZI!) .

“We are pleased to honor Linus Pauling as one of the top twenty scientists in the world,” said Corvallis Postmaster John Harrington.

After the ceremony, the Postal Service offered a commemorative one-day-only hand-stamped postmark designed specifically for the event.

The new stamp is part of a new series created by the Postal Service honoring American Scientists Gety Cori, Edwin Hubble, John Bardeen, and Linus Pauling. The event was hosted by a combined effort by OSU University Events, Special Collections and Printing and Mailing Services.

A truly great honor for Dr. Pauling and his family!

I have had the opportunity to personally work with Claire Oliveros since she has been at Portland Community College. She does a great job and is a tireless worker for her students.

Congrats, Claire!

For those getting the feed, I mistakenly identified Claire as an alumnus. I got ahead of myself. Apologies! -bv
