While the biggest school bond on the ballot seems to be passing in Tuesday’s special election, Oregonians appear to be split in their support of education-related bond measures that would fund school building construction, maintenance and other improvements. OPB editor Rob Manning joins us to give us a picture of how many of the education-related votes fared in this week’s election.

Australijski preduzetnik Rob Manning u teškim danima suočavanja s teškom bolešću došao je do ideje rješenja problema prečišćavanja zagađenih vodotokova. Zagađenje naftom je veliki problem širom svijeta, a kompanija SORR gospodina Manninga razvila je hidrofobnu spužvu koja može odvojiti ulje od vode, upiti ga do 10 puta više od svoje težine. Tako sakupljena nafta može se opet reciklirati.

"Something that we can all take away is: what do students need? What do young people need? What do they think is working in their school? What's not working? And hear from them and actually, and don't just give it lip service and say, 'student voice, student voice.' Like, what are the students saying? What are they voicing?" — Elizabeth Miller In this episode of The Early Link Podcast, host Rafael Otto speaks with Rob Manning and Elizabeth Miller from Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) about their groundbreaking long-term reporting project, the "Class of 2025." Started in 2013, the project follows a group of students from first grade through their anticipated high school graduation in 2025. Rob and Elizabeth share the origins of the project, sparked by then-Governor John Kitzhaber's ambitious goal of a 100% high school graduation rate by 2025. They discuss the challenges and rewards of following the same cohort of students over more than a decade, including building deep relationships with families and adapting to significant events like the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation highlights compelling individual stories that shed light on broader issues within the education system, such as student engagement, resource allocation, and the critical importance of relationships between students and educators. They also reflect on shifting educational policies and goals, and what these mean for the students they've been following. As they approach the culmination of the project, Rob and Elizabeth consider its impact on their understanding of education in Oregon and the potential lessons for policymakers, educators, and the community at large.

This week we've invited JPL's Chief Engineer Emeritus, Rob Manning, back to discuss Mars exploration and, in particular, Mars Sample Return. As we discussed in episode 107, that project is in a bit of trouble. Rob was the Chief Engineer of every Mars rover up through Perseverance and the overall Chief Engineer on Perseverance, and he has some unique insights on how we have explored Mars, why it matters, and what the future holds... especially with regard to returning samples to Earth. Join us! Headlines: NASA held a press conference to explain the latest delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which stem from issues with a helium leak and concerns about the reaction control thrusters that could lead to a loss of redundancy during reentry The European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope returned its first science images, providing stunning new views of galaxies never seen in such detail before to help unlock the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy Main Topic - Mars Exploration and Sample Return: Rob Manning recounts his extensive experience with Mars exploration at JPL, from the Sojourner rover and Pathfinder lander in the 90s to the currently operating Curiosity and Perseverance rovers Curiosity confirmed the past presence of water on Mars, while Perseverance is collecting carefully selected rock samples to eventually be returned to Earth The Mars Sample Return mission would bring pristine samples back to Earth for in-depth study, but is an extremely complex and costly endeavor facing budget challenges and potential delays Rob explains why returning samples is so critical - context is key and current meteorite samples have been altered by their journey to Earth, whereas carefully selected samples could reveal much more about Mars' history and potential for life Challenges for Mars Sample Return include the large size of the lander, the need for new parachute and guidance technologies, and planetary protection requirements to prevent contaminating Earth NASA currently has no plans for additional Mars missions beyond sample return, and faces a potential loss of institutional knowledge as a "quiet period" approaches, highlighting the need to maintain momentum in Mars exploration Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Rob Manning Download or subscribe to this show at https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-space.

Et les coups bas vont pleuvoir sur sa personne, des plus sordides aux plus véreux, transformant sa campagne en un long chemin de croix au profit de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing qui sera élu.Comment un grand fauve politique peut se faire dévorer par plus vorace que lui ? Comment cette campagne électorale expresse de six semaines s'est-elle déroulée ? De quelle manière surgit l'écologie politique au-devant de la scène, incarnée par un visionnaire : René Dumont ? Quel fut le rôle du premier débat télévisé d'entre deux tours entre les deux finalistes ? De quelle manière Valéry Giscard d'Estaing s'imposa-t-il à François Mitterrand au deuxième tour ?Vous pourrez le découvrir dans ce podcast consacré à l'élection présidentielle de 1974.Bonne écoute.Réalisation : Maëliss HennetierCrédit photo : ARCHIVES OUEST FRANCECrédit musique : Universal Music ProductionHidden History – Paul ReevesQuite the situation – William Van de CrommertSecret history - Jean-Philippe IchardIn the balance - Rob Manning

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown says students need to go back to school this spring. On this special episode of OPB Politics Now, education editor Rob Manning breaks down the news with Think Out Loud host Dave Miller.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced she is ordering all public schools in the state to offer in-person classes in the coming weeks. Students in kindergarten through fifth grade will be first, followed by grades six through 12., followed by grades six through 12. We talk with OPB editor Rob Manning about what this order means for Oregon's school districts.

NASA’s Rob Manning, JPL’s Chief Engineer, discusses management, logistics, innovation and the future of robotic Mars exploration in this unique episode.  With this week’s successful landing of the Perseverance rover on an ancient river delta, NASA ups its game at a time when the rest of the country badly needs some encouraging news.  Manning talks about how JPL keeps itself on track when finessing complicated billion-dollar initiatives. 

Imagine keeping tabs on the same group of students and families for nearly a decade -- Oregon Public Broadcasting has done it, and plans to keep going through the next four years. OPB editor Rob Manning and education reporter Elizabeth Miller share stories from the cast in this project, which is supported in part by an EWA Reporting Fellowship. Among the surprising plot twists: a big jump in screen time is changing how kids communicate and build friendships, and some Black students say they prefer learning at home where they worry less about encountering racism. How did the OPB team’s plans for the current season of its podcast series adapt amid the COVID-19 pandemic? What are teachers doing to keep their students engaged, and keep tabs on those who are struggling academically and emotionally? And what are lessons for other education journalists looking to build trust with students, parents and teachers?

This week: Life from other stars... on Earth (?), the mysterious mission of Luna 15, and Rob Manning on how to land on Mars.

The Oregon College of Art and Craft recently announced its impending closure, not long after Marylhurst University shut its doors. Other private colleges in the area are experiencing cuts to faculty and freezing enrollment in certain liberal arts majors. We talk with OPB editor Rob Manning and Jon Marcus, higher education editor for The Hechinger Report, about the crisis in liberal arts institutions here and around the country.

The state released an audit of Oregon’s education department and its largest school district Wednesday, recommending that legislators take a hard look at how administrators spend existing money as they consider significant new educational investments sought by Gov. Kate Brown. OPB education reporter Rob Manning breaks it down.

With Oregon's school year wrapping up, many high schoolers are looking forward to sleeping in. Many researchers think high school should start later in the day to let teenagers sleep, but that's really hard to do. Rob Manning reports. We also take a look back on the week in regional politics. OPB political analyst Bill Lunch and senior political reporter Jeff Mapes join us to to talk about Sen. Jeff Merkley's visit to the border, Sec. of State Dennis Richardson's announcement about his brain cancer and a legal challenge to a proposed gun measure.

The central Oregon high school has quickly improved its graduation rate in a short period of time. Rob Manning visits the school to see how they were able to pull that off.

Oregon's big urban university is changing. Several buildings are being modernized. In the second part of a series on Oregon's university system, Rob Manning explores why the upgrades are happening, and how they're being paid for. We also hear about the burgeoning market for Western Juniper, normally relegated to garden beds and fence posts. Jes Burns of EarthFix reports on the push to create juniper wood products for construction.

The Bend campus is expanding, with the help of millions in state-backed construction dollars. How can the school scale up without losing what works? Rob Manning reports in the first in a series about changes in the Oregon university system. Austin Jenkins also brings us a new problem at the beleaguered Western State Hospital near Tacoma. There's a long waitlist to get in, because there are so many other patients waiting to get out.

The bond approved by voters last year was the largest in state history, but it's inadequate. District officials learned they vastly underestimated how much money they would need to remodel or rebuild four large schools. OPB education reporter Rob Manning explains how this happened and how school board members are responding.

Kim Sordyl is a non-voting member of the State Board of Education, known for her vigorous advocacy for education. A bill moving through Salem would remove her by requiring that only state employees be appointed to the board. Rob Manning explores what's behind the bill.

In Part 2 of our series, Amelia Templeton reports on the failure by managers of a Portland homeless shelter for families to catch obvious problems with the facility. Also, Rob Manning continues his look at apparent inequities in after-school programs for boys and girls in the Beaverton school district. Parents who want to do something about it face a labyrinth of Oregon bureaucracy.

About two years ago, Multnomah County gave a nonprofit more than half a million to buy an old strip club and turn it into a homeless shelter. The county promised the new shelter would be a safe place for families in crisis. It wasn't, and the shelter closed this month. In the first in a series of reports, Amelia Templeton explains what happened. Also, Rob Manning tells the story of a Beaverton woman who found girls were being charged more than boys for after-school sports programs.

When does a school have to allow outside services in, to meet the needs of individual kids? That’s the debate between some parents of special needs’ students in Portland and the state’s largest school district, as Rob Manning reports.

Superintendent Guadalupe Guerrero antagonized parents with his plan to relocate students with disabilities, behavior problems and challenging backgrounds. Rob Manning reports on how Guerrero plans to make changes, while earning the trust of parents. We'll also hear from Columbia Sportswear CEO Tim Boyle, who says the area around one of the company's downtown locations is unsafe.

This August, one hundred sixty thousand Atlantic salmon escaped from a fish farm in Puget Sound. That event has renewed calls for regulating fish farms more intensely--or for taking the farms out of the Sound entirely. In the first part of a series for EarthFix, Eilis [eye-LEASH] O’Neill visits a fish farm in Puget Sound to learn more about how Washington oversees these aquaculture operations -- and how that might change in the future. And everyone knows that low-income students and children of color have lower graduation rates. But here’s a complicating factor: when students from those groups miss school, it’s more likely to set them back. That’s according to a new analysis of OPB’s Class Of 2025 - a group of students from East Portland we’ve been tracking for five years. Rob Manning reports from Earl Boyles Elementary School.

OPB has been reporting on a federal boarding school for Native youth in Salem. Chemawa Indian School has drawn criticism for its treatment of both students and teachers, in stories from OPB’s Rob Manning and EarthFix reporter Tony Schick. Today Rob focuses on the veil of secrecy that surrounds the federal school. And Autumn rains have washed away the smoke of the summer wildfires. But Jeff Mapes reports that Congress remains embroiled in a high-stakes environmental debate over how to reduce the growing threat of catastrophic blazes in Western forests and rangelands.

Questionable diplomas. Spurious expulsions. Students falling through gaps in health, safety and academic services. Those are some of the problems at Chemawa Indian School uncovered in stories by OPB’s Rob Manning and Earthfix reporter Tony Schick. In this installment, Tony looks at a big reason these problems have persisted for years: Staff feel threatened or retaliated against when they push for changes.

Chemawa Indian School serves about 350 Native high schoolers from all over the country, at its secluded campus in Salem. It started as a place to indoctrinate indigenous youth into American society. But over the years, Chemawa has tried to re-position itself as a college prep school . OPB reporters Rob Manning and Tony Schick of EarthFix have been looking into a range of problems at Chemawa. Today, Rob looks at academics.

High-altitude electromagnetic pulse describes a nuclear detonation over land that could potentially cause damage to large transformers and substations. However, there are differing opinions on just how catastrophic an event such as this might be. As a result, EPRI launched a three-year research initiative in 2016 to investigate these events, including threat assessment, mitigation, and recovery. EPRI Vice President of Transmission and Distribution, Rob Manning, sits down to discuss findings so far and research that is ongoing.

A continuation of my interview with JPL’s Rob Manning. Rob was the Chief Engineer for the Mars Pathfinder mission, the Mars Exploration Rovers, and the Curiosity Mars rover. We pick up our discussion talking about the airbag landing system that was used to land Pathfinder on Mars, a NASA first. Testing was critical, and had to proceed on a tight budget. Rob discusses these challenges, and looks ahead to the Mars 2020 rover and sample return missions.

Part one of Rod's interview with Rob Manning, the Chief Engineer for the Engineering and Science Directorate at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Rob was also the Chief Engineer for the Mars Exploration Rover and Mars Pathfinder missions. This week represents the 20th anniversary of the Pathfinder landing on July 4, 1997. Rob joins us in a two-part discussion about how the Pathfinder mission came to be, and discusses how some of the challenges were overcome in the unlikeliest--and cheapest--ways you might imagine. It was a mission on a budget that was achieved with ingenuity, passion, and by a few visits to the local Home Depot!

Depending on their party, lawmakers saw very different things in the quarterly economic and revenue forecast that came out this week. Either we have a broken tax system or more tax revenue than the state has ever seen. Can it be both? Meanwhile, voters just passed the largest school bond measure in Oregon history. It means $790 million to upgrades for four Portland schools and getting lead out of the drinking water. Voters in the Bend-La Pine district also passed a measure to finance 159 projects in the district. But smaller districts weren't so lucky. This week, host Julie Sabatier talks with OPB news director Anna Griffin, education reporter Rob Manning, and Gordon Friedman, political reporter for The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Curiosity is the name of the Mars rover that has recently begun exploring the red planet for signs of past habitability. On this episode, Rob Manning discussed the challenges of constructing the rover.

Aired 08/05/12 ROB MANNING is the Chief Engineer for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. MANNING has been designing, testing and operating robotic spacecraft and rovers for 30 years at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. In the 1990's Rob was chief engineer for Mars Pathfinder, the first to send a rover to Mars. He also led flight system engineering for the Rover Entry, Descent and Landing teams. Rob is in the Aviation Week Magazine Space Laureate Hall of Fame in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. We talk just hours before the rover Curiosity landed on Mars. Using a never-before-tried landing system called a "sky crane," the degree of difficulty of this landing is enormous. After parachuting to within one mile of the surface, the sky crane fires thrusters to lower itself to hover over the surface. While hovering, Curiosity is lowered to the ground on cables. Once the cables are released, the sky crane jets to a safe distance before crashing to the ground, leaving the rover to explore the planet's surface. We'll talk with Manning about the aims as well as the challenges of this mission.
