Paying a fitting tribute to the career of Alton Nehemiah Ellis in just a few paragraphs is an impossible task. For well over forty years, his inimitable voice thrilled hundreds of thousands worldwide on countless classic ska, soul, rock steady and reggae recordings, many of which he also happened to have penned. His passing on 8th October 2008 in Hammersmith Hospital, London was a devastating loss not just the world of music, but the world at large, for, as all who came to meet him can testify, he was truly a prince among men.
Born on 1st September 1938 in Kingston, Jamaica, Alton was raised in the city's Trenchtown district, where he attended Ebenezer Senior School and Boys' Town schools, excelling in both music and sports, particularly cricket, table-tennis and boxing. He also illustrated a natural talent for dancing, frequently placing first at local dance contests, although as time went by, singing gradually took precedence over his fancy footwork, especially after impressing his fellow students at a school concert with a selection of Mario Lanza songs from the motion picture, 'The Student Prince'.
After completing his education in 1955, he found work as a labourer on a building site in Stony Hill and encouraged by his workmates, auditioned for 'Vere John's Opportunity Hour', but intimidated by the competition that included Wilfred Jackie Edwards, Owen Gray and Lascelles Perkins, he withdrew from the contest, giving up on any thoughts of making it as a solo act in the process.
After putting all thoughts of becoming a full-time singer behind him for some two years, he was finally talked into reviving the ambition by his friend, Eddie Parkins, the pair forming the aptly named duo, Alton & Eddy.
It was also around this time he composed a plaintive ballad about a girl named 'Muriel' that promptly became a part of Alton & Eddy's repertoire. Soon after the duo auditioned for leading local producer, Clement 'Coxson' Dodd, who wasted no time arranging for the young singers to cut the song at Federal studios, issuing the subsequent recording on his recently launched Worldisc label. The single swiftly made its way the top of the local charts spurring Dodd to produce further material by the pair, including 'My Heaven', 'Lullaby Angel', 'I Know It All', 'I'm Never Gonna Cry' and 'Yours'.
After their sojourn with Dodd, Alton & Eddy cut a handful of songs for Vincent Chin of Randy's Records, before Parkins left Jamaica for America after winning first prize in the talent contest, 'A Star Is Born'. Alton remained in Kingston where he began earning regular money working at a local printing works, although the job proved short-lived, the wanna-be singer laid off by his employers after a matter of months.
The development sparked Alton into re-launching his singing career and after finding a new partner in the talented young John Holt, he was soon back at Randy's, recording a number of impressive sides for Randy's, most notably the excellent 'Rum Bumper'. His partnership with Holt proved short-lived, but Alton remained determined to remain in the music business, forming a vocal group initially consisting of his brother Leslie and Noel 'Scully' Simms, along with two friends, Baby G and Ronnie - among those to join later were Lloyd Charmers and Winston Jarrett.
Soon after Alton and the newly named 'Flames', commenced what proved to be an extremely fruitful relationship with Arthur 'Duke' Reid, the union spawning a series of ska and rocksteady hits commencing with an original composition entitled 'Dance Crasher'. A number of similarly themed anti-rude boy songs followed, most notably 'Don't Trouble People', 'Cry Tough', 'Blessings Of Love' and 'The Preacher', all of which had been penned by Alton.
As rock steady superseded ska, Alton and the Flames continued to enjoy major successes, with 'Girl I've Got A Date', topping the national radio charts at the close of 1966. 'Rock Steady', the title of which was adopted as the generic name of the new style, followed in the spring, along with a fine cover of Gene Chandler's 1962 neo-doo wop hit, 'Duke Of Earl', 'All My Tears (Come Rolling)', 'Why Birds Follow Spring' and a sublime interpretation of Johnny Taylor's 'Ain't That Lovin' You (For More Reasons Than One)'.
Now firmly established as one of Jamaica's most popular vocalists, Alton suddenly found himself in a tug of war between Reid and his bitter rival, Coxson Dodd. And it was the latter who proved victorious, securing the singer for a UK tour and a series of recordings that included such enduring works as 'I Am Just A Guy', 'Mad, Mad', a wonderful version of Rosco Gordon's 'Let Him Try' and 'I'm Still In Love', the rhythm of which later provided the basis for Althea & Donna's international number one hit, 'Uptown Top Ranking'. Dodd also released Alton's debut album, 'Alton Ellis Sings Rock & Soul', although it was not enough to persuade the singer to stay long-term at Studio One and early the following year, he returned to Treasure Isle and reunited with the Flames.
Alton wasted little time in providing Reid with more hits, cutting a number of fine originals, including 'Oowee Baby, I Love You', 'How Can I' and 'I Can't Stand It', along with a magnificent rendering of Chuck Jackson's 'My Willow Tree'. Reid was also instrumental in also arranging for the singer to perform a number of concerts in New York, although the tour had to be cut-short to the sudden death of his mother in March.
A three week tour of Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas followed and upon its completion Alton resumed his recording career in earnest. It was around this time he first turned his hand to producing, initially assisted by leading session trumpeter, the late Johnny 'Dizzy' Moore. Among his self-produced sides from this period were 'My Time Is The Right Time' and 'The Message', although the corrupt system of record distribution on the island did nothing to help his cause as an independent record maker.
Another producer with whom Alton worked during 1968 was a Mr C. Bough, who like Reid was a former policeman who had experience as a sound system operator, albeit to a much lesser extent than the Treasure Isle boss. Among the songs cut for the enigmatic producer were 'I Can't Stand It', 'Tonight' (aka 'Feeling Inside') and 'Give Me Your Love' on which Alton was partnered by singer, David Isaacs.
Throughout the remainder of the year, Alton worked primarily with both Dodd and Reid, his popularity unaffected by the developing style of reggae. For Dodd, he cut a number of superb sides (most notably his seminal version of Tyrone Davis' 'Can I Change My Mind') many of which were included on the singer's second album, 'The Best Of Alton Ellis', issued early in 1969, while his recordings for Reid were equally as accomplished, with 'Breaking Up' the stand-out track from the period. In addition to his studio work, he continued to tour extensively, spending four months performing in clubs around Canada with Jo Jo Bennett & the Fugitives in the spring.
Alton continued to record for both Dodd and Reid well into 1970, with the former releasing the singer's third album, 'Sunday Coming' later that year. Among his output for Reid was a fine duet with Phyllis Dillon, 'Remember That Sunday', and sublime re-workings of Junior Walker & the All Stars' 'What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)' and the Brenda Holloway classic, 'You've Made Me So Very Happy', a song which also provided major hits for Blood, Sweat & Tears and Lou Rawls.
Around this time Alton also enjoyed success with a variety of other Kingston-based producers, including Winston Riley, for whom he cut 'I'll Be Waiting', 'It's Your Thing' and 'Soul Groove'. He also worked with Lloyd Daley, who produced the immensely popular 'Back to Africa' and '(Lord) Deliver Us', Prince Buster, Phil Pratt and Sid Bucknor, while also cutting sides for his own All-Tone label.
In 1971, Alton travelled to England, where he recorded material for London-based producers Clancy Collins and Sylvan Bryan, while upon his return to Jamaica he continued to produce his own works for All-Tone, using the money from sessions for others to finance the label. Among those with whom he recorded for this purpose were Dodd, Pete Weston, Bunny Lee, Lloyd Charmers, Keith Hudson, Herman Chin-Loy, Joe Gibbs and Randy's.
Alton then returned to the UK, spending his time there to work with London-based producers, Dave Hadfield and Lloyd Coxsone. Meanwhile, back in Jamaica, Duke Reid took a clutch of the singer's best-known Treasure Isle sides and over-dubbed percussion to up-date the sound, releasing the re-mixed versions on the singer's fourth album, 'Mr Soul Of Jamaica'.
After his time in the England, Alton spent time in Jamaica, New York and Canada before returning to Britain where he decided to settle permanently. He remained active throughout the remainder of the decade, proving instrumental in launching Janet Kay's career and the subsequent lover's rock scene. In the eighties he launched his own Alltone Records shop in Brixton and continued to record on a regular basis, releasing a series of albums that included 'Mr Skabena', 'A New Day', 'Daydreaming', 'Continuation' and two '25th Jubilee' collections. During this time he worked with a number of those who led a new wave of reggae producers, most notably Henry 'Junjo' Lawes, King Jammy and Tapper Zukie.
As time went on, he eased off a little from his studio work, but continued to regularly perform live and was instrumental in the organisation of the popular Rock Steady Gala shows, held annually at the Hammersmith Palais over the Easter Bank Holidays. In 1994, after over thirty years in the business, his considerable contribution to the Jamaican music industry was officially acknowledged by the Jamaican Government, who awarded him the Order of Distinction on National Heroes Day. Few individuals have been more deserving of the honour.
Alton remained actively musically throughout the years that followed and in 2006 was inducted into the International Reggae & World Music Awards (IRAWMA) Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York. But just over a year later, he fell ill and was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph glands.
A course of chemotherapy followed and by the summer, he appeared to have overcome the disease. Sadly it was not the case and on 9th August, after performing half of his set at the Jazz Cafe in central London, he collapsed. He was taken immediately to hospital, but failed to respond to treatment, his condition deteriorating over the ensuing months.
At 4.45am on Sunday 10th October, he finally passed away, leaving behind his large, loving family, many friends and a multitude of fans - and a legacy that few will ever equal.

I was at the Dallas Market Hall gun show this morning intending to sell a Glock 26. Not a minute after I enter the show, a guy comes up to me asking about the Glock and price. I told him my price and he countered with an offer about $25 less than my asking price. Since I'd just gotten there, I thought I'd check out other potential buyers. I stopped to show the Glock to my buddy and the guy comes up to me again wanting to buy it and waving a stack of bills. I asked if he had a CHL or was willing for me to write down his name and driver's license. He backed away and said he would buy something else. I was hesitant before and with his reaction, I definitely chose not to pursue the transaction. So, I continued into the show.
As I was leaving, I see 10 - 11 Dallas Police squad cars in the parking lot together. Being curious, I look over to see what was happening and peeked in the back seat of one of the squad cars and there is the guy in the back handcuffed.
Glad I didn't sell to him.
Trust your first impressions!!!!

Bank failures
up in Europe
The European Central Bank warned the eurozone's slumping economy and a surge in problem loans are raising the risk of a renewed banking crisis, even as financial stress in the region has receded. In a sober assessment, the ECB said a prolonged recession has made it harder for many borrowers to repay loans, burdening banks that have still not fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis.
Sallie Mae plans
to split into two
Sallie Mae plans to split into two separate, publicly traded companies. Formally known as SLM Corp., Sallie Mae said two separate companies an education loan management business and a consumer banking business would help unlock value and boost long-term growth potential. It anticipates the split, if given final approval by its board, could be completed within 12 months.
Newsweek put
on sales block
Newsweek, the once-venerable magazine that experienced one of the most precipitous declines in media history over the last decade, is up for sale. Tina Brown, the editor in chief, and Baba Shetty, the chief executive, told staff they had decided to sell now so that they could focus on building the companion brand, The Daily Beast.
Berkshire set to
buy NV Energy
Berkshire Hathaway's MidAmerican Energy is buying Nevada's NV Energy for $5.6 billion in a deal that will marry MidAmerican's expertise in renewable energy with Nevada's solar and wind resources. MidAmerican will pay $23.75 per share. Including debt, the deal is valued at about $10.1 billion.
Small businesses
give health perks
Small business owners continue to struggle to provide traditional health care benefits to workers, but some are providing other perks as an alternative. A new report by Bank of America found only 33 percent provide traditional health benefits but 31 percent offer additional amenities, such as healthy snacks or massages.
Home foreclosure
sales plummet
Sales of bank-owned homes and those in some stage of the foreclosure process saw a steep annual drop in the first three months of the year and accounted for a smaller share of overall U.S. home sales, new data show. The trend comes as fewer homes are ending up foreclosed amid a housing market rebound.
Alcoa owngraded
to 'junk' status
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Alcoa's credit rating into junk status, citing lower aluminum prices. It said Alcoa has reduced costs and made itself more productive, but difficult industry trends and low aluminum prices will make it hard for Alcoa to make its credit measurements investment-grade in 2013 or 2014.

If you're an Ontario litigator and thought suing your client for fees in Small Claims Court based upon a written retainer agreement was an option, then take a read of Justice Nordheimer's decision in Jane Conte Professional Corporation v. Josephine Smith, 2014 ONSC 6009 (CanLII), (Div.Ct.).
The case dealt with an appeal by the defendant client from the decision of Deputy Judge Prattas, dated April 29, 2014, dismissing her motion to dismiss her former counsel's action for unpaid accounts. The plaintiff lawyer commenced an action against the client defendant in the Small Claims Court seeking to recover payment of the sum of $26,051.59 pursuant to a contingency fee agreement relating to a personal injury action. Nordheimer J. allowed the appeal, set aside the order of the Deputy Judge and dismissed the claim for want of jurisdiction and held, in part:
[16] It will be seen from these sections that the Legislature has established a process by which the validity and enforceability of written fee agreements between lawyers and clients are to be handled. There is nothing in any of these sections that gives any authority to the Small Claims Court to consider issues arising under a written fee agreement including a contingency fee agreement. Indeed, as I have already mentioned, the Small Claims Court is expressly excluded from considering such matters.
[20] In my view, once a lawyer chooses to enter into a written agreement with his or her client "respecting the amount and manner of payment for the whole or a part of any past or future services in respect of business done or to be done by the solicitor" then the lawyer is bound by the procedures set out in ss. 20 to 32 of the Solicitors Act. In particular, if the lawyer wishes to enforce the agreement then he or she must, as set out in s. 23, bring an application for that purpose in the court "in which the business or any part of it was done or a judge thereof, or, if the business was not done in any court, by the Superior Court of Justice". I repeat that s. 23 expressly excludes the Small Claims Court from this authority.
Nordheimer J. expressly rejected the former lawyer's argument that the contingency fee agreement was a "hybrid" agreement, ousting it from judicial scrutiny under ss.20-32 of the Solicitors Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.15, stating:
[23] Further, even if the respondent is correct that the Agreement in this case was both a contingency fee agreement and a regular fee agreement, depending on how events unfolded, that result would not take the Agreement outside the application of ss. 20 to 32 including the enforcement procedure set out in s. 23 since those provisions apply to all written fee agreements.
[24] Consequently, I concluded that the Small Claims Court had no jurisdiction to consider a claim made by a lawyer based on a written fee agreement including a contingency fee agreement. I would note, in passing, that this conclusion appears to be consistent with the general rule that questions involving the nature, validity or effect of a contingency fee agreement should be resolved by judges: Cookish v. Paul Lee Associates Professional Corp.,[2013] O.J. No. 1947 (C.A.) at para. 39.
This decision may come as a big surprise to most who sue their clients for unpaid legal accounts in Small Claims Court.
It is puzzling that the Small Claims Court retains jurisdiction in actions between a lawyer and client for unpaid accounts where there is no written retainer agreement, but loses jurisdiction where there is a written retainer agreement. Of course, all contingency fee agreements must be in writing pursuant s. 28.1(4) of the Solicitors Act.
Incidentally, the Court of Appeal for Ontario previously held that where a written retainer agreement includes an arbitration clause for fee disputes, it is enforceable, as long as the arbitrator applies the protections under the Solicitors Act: : see, Jean Estate v. Wires Jolley LLP, 2009 ONCA 339 (CanLII) (Ont. C.A.).

Princeton: Use Coal, LNG, Non-Food Crop Biofuel Blends as Corn Ethanol Replacement

Princeton says energy-dense slew of renewable and fossil resources could solve the nation's fuel shortages
Princeton University
is injecting itself into the
corn ethanol debate
, suggesting that the U.S. is moving in a very mistaken direction. In a new study
as a whitepaper in the
AIChE Journal
, the team suggests that 130 synthetic fuel plants built across the country could replace "dirty" corn ethanol, cut fuel shortages, and cut carbon emissions by a whopping 50 percent.
I. Synthetic Fuel -- a Corn Ethanol Killer?
The proposed synthetic fuel would be a blend of liquefied coal, liquid natural gas, and
non-food crop biofuels
. While that doesn't sound much like crude oil, the researchers say the synthetic fuel blend would actually be much closer chemically to traditional gas than corn ethanol, reducing the likelihood of ECU incompatibility in older vehicles leading to engine damage.
The downside is sticker shock; the team, led by
Christodoulos Floudas
, a professor of
chemical and biological engineering
at Princeton, suggests that the total cost of the plan might be $1.1T USD. Thus the team suggests a slow rollout of synthetic fuels over the next 30 to 40 years.

Professor Floudas remarks, "The goal is to produce sufficient fuel and also to cut CO2 emissions, or the equivalent, by 50 percent. The question was not only can it be done, but also can it be done in an economically attractive way. The answer is affirmative in both cases."
His team estimates that as the price of crude oil continues to creep up in upcoming decades, and as process improvements continue in producing synthetic fuels, that the alternative fuel slew will be cost competitive.
Chemical engineering graduate student Richard Baliban, a lead author on past papers for the team who graduated in 2012, remarks, "Even including the capital costs, synthetic fuels can still be profitable. As long as crude oil is between $60 and $100 per barrel, these processes are competitive depending on the feedstock."
II. 1920s German High-Temperature Method Repurposed
The basis of the Princeton plan is to use a method dubbed the "Fischer-Tropsch process". The technique was developed in the 1920s in Germany to turn coal into liquid fuel; it uses heat to liquefy the solid fossil fuel into a liquid resource.
Complex chemical reactions catalyzed by inexpensive catalysts (nickel or iron) are employed at temperatures of around 1,000 to 1,300 deg. C to convert the solid fossil fuel into a liquid slew of hydrocarbon chains, plus useful leftovers, like waxes.
An example Fischer-Tropsch reactor [Image Source: BioPact/Syntroleum]
The team added a new twist to the process, reinjecting the waste carbon dioxide, fueling more hydrocarbon formation, and cutting emissions. Heavy metal and sulfur -- typical pollutants in crude oil -- are eliminated during the synthetic fuel production process, making for a cleaner burn.
The team estimates that currently the price of synthetic fuel would be around $83.58 USD in Kansas, one key state targeted for future production.
Prof. Floudas suggest the alternative fuel is the perfect trick for switching the U.S. of volatile, expensive foreign oil sources, commenting, "His is an opportunity to create a new economy. The amount of petroleum the U.S. imports is very high. What is the price of that? What other resources to do we have? And what can we do about it?"

sala architects, minneapolis
On their 11 acres of agrarian land, these clients wanted to build "something simple and with good proportions." Architect Jean Larson gave them a structure with historical references to the farmhouses now decaying across the Midwest, but not a studied duplication of the past.
"Have you ever tried to design a new house that looks old?" a judge asked. "It's not easy." A 12:12-pitch roof, a broad porch, and double-hung windows that extend low to the floor evoke the tall, proud farmhouse form. Larson made the interior work for contemporary life by designing spaces that are open yet well defined by blocks of storage. Bookshelves that wrap three sides of the fireplace, a large pantry, a dining buffet, and a media center read as passageways between the living areas. "There's a thickness you pass through from one room to the next," Larson says.
On the house's facade, the architect used traditional detailing but bolder proportions. The gable-end design, for example, draws on the old attic vents, but Larson chose a larger, thicker board for a more dramatic shadow line. "Lovely," the judges concluded.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Roxy goes through spells of not caring about meal time. The vet has told me not to worry about it...dogs will eat when they are hungry. As long as everything else is in check.
I can't keep begging her to eat. Or bribing her. I waste more food by dumping broth on it or wet food when she obviously isn't hungry. I am also finding when it's hot like this she eats less. ( kind of like humans)....she usually eats a noon (ish) meal and a later evening meal...(wants to eat after our long walk)..... I put the food down in a measured bowl so I know what is being consumed and then let her eat when she's hungry.
|we dont really want to give her cheese. I think the peanut butter made her picky but now she wont eat it all.
|Have you tried sprinkling the food with cheese? We sprinkled our dogs for with Italian cheeses and she ate it right away
Do you have any other dogs in the house?
Our shepherd isn't crazy about meal time either. We use our black lab as a "Food Coach".
I pull a handful of kibble out of our GSD's food bowl and feed it to the lab. The possessive nature of the GSD kicks in and she jumps in and licks the bowl clean.
If she walks away, I pull a few more kibble out and give them to the lab which gets the GSD back on track.
|Myah's Mom
I'm not sure, but I think a good veterinary exam is in order, including physical exam, dental exam, blood work and stool sample.
If all is healthy, then perhaps it is behavior. Others more experienced will chime in, but I say a healthy dog will eventually eat when hungry. A dog testing you may act picky and delight in all the things you go through to "try" to get it to eat. It may be a game and she is winning.
If so, then put out quality food at regular times, call her to eat and have her sit before you put her food down - and if she walks away, take it away. Then do the same thing at the next scheduled time. If she's healthy, she'll eat by the end of Day 2, I would think. Myah tried this for a while...thinking I was some short order cook or something. HA! No, no no.....
But again, others here may have more experience with this issue.
Allie wont eat
So Allie is a little over 2 years old and right at a healthy weight or a little on skinny side. She is pretty active and loves playing chase and Frisbee. Problem is Allie does not like food. When we first got her the previous owners did not treat her right and had coordination issues and would not eat kibble. We then switched her to raw like 4 months ago.
We are always fighting with her to eat. We tried chicken (ground w/ bones, and also backs), turkey, and duck. She wont touch the turkey or duck and sometimes eats chicken. Most of the time she wont eat and has been known to go 4 days without eating when we would pick up her food after 20 minutes or so.
How do we get her to value food again. She has no food drive but insane ball and frisbee drive.
Today I put out her ground with a piece of chicken back in it. She took out the large chicken back bone and placed in on the sheet under her bowl and then wrapped the sheet around it and then left.
Sometimes she will eat if it has peanut butter in it, sometimes if it has a little warm water, sometimes with egg. But sometimes it dont matter what we do.
With Raw meaty bones she used to chew the whole bone and eat it now she just rips off meat and does not chew bones. Tried ribs, legs, necks, tails, etc..
Her teeth look fine and she is in good spirits. She does have separation anxiety but even when I stay in the same room she does not eat.

Joe Andrew, who was Democratic National Comittee chairman under Bill Clinton, announced he was switching his allegiance from Senator Clinton to Senator Obama. In making hs decision, Andrew urged fellow Democrats to join him in ending the debacle known as the Democratic party presidential primary. His letter to fellow superdelegates emphasized continuing the nasty fighting that now characterizes the primary is only bound to assist the candidacy of Senator John McCain. "I am convinced that the primary process has devolved to the point that it's now bad for the Democratic Party," he said in an interview.
Democracy allows anyone to participate as long as they so desire in the process of campaigning, but the Democratic Party process has now become so personal in attitude that voters are being asked to select their choice based on likes rather than on ideas. Part of the dilemma is that, in reality, the two candidates are not that different in agenda other than a few points related to their health plans.
History in future years will discuss decisions made or not made in this primary about continuing a fight that was only bound to destroy the party even if it resulted in a personal triumph. We have two loyal Americans running in the Democratic prmary, but do we have two loyal Democrats?

I am sure this has been asked so many times before but everyone is different so here goes.
I am English and English is my first language, I speak Dutch fluently but do not hold any qualifications in Dutch, I also speak French very well and hold a open university certificate in French, I speak some Italian and will be able to speak very well within a year. I am also intended to learn some Spanish to gain a college qualification soon.
I am two years away from finishing a Degree in English and French with the open University and will have a diploma in English and French by next summer.
I have only completed a tefl express certificate. I am also considering doing a three day course with UK-TEFL shortly.
I am also considering getting some teaching experience teaching English before I go.
My question is would my language make it easier for me to find a tefl job in Italy without a Celta or a degree. I intend to go to southern Italy next year and start looking for work in person. I am also intending to teach English on a freelance basis by placing adverts in Italy.

What links the retreat of Jakobshavn Isbrae, Wilkins Ice Shelf and the Petermann Glacier?
Petermann Glacier is a much different glacier than the others mentioned above. Its velocity of 2-3 m/day (Higgins, 1990) is much lower than 10-30 m/day observed on the other marine terminating outlet glaciers. It is located on the northwest corner of Greenland and certainly experiences less melting and less snowfall. The lower 80 km (in length) and 1300 km2 (in area) of the glacier is afloat. This makes it (by area) the largest floating glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. The ice front is not impressive,unlike the faster outlet glaciers. The calving front protrudes a mere 5-10 m above sea level, reflecting the fact that the ice at the front is only 60-70 m thick. Further up-glacier, the ice at the grounding line is 600-700 m thick. The combination of velocity and thickness yield the volume of material calved each year. Petermann Glacier calves 0.6 km3 (Higgins, 1990), whereas Jakobshavns yields close to 40 km3. The thinning between the grounding line and the calving front is mainly via melting as the snowline is at 900 m. The low slope leads to very low velocities, giving the low-lying floating section plenty of time to melt, and surface melt ponds are common.
The Petermann Glacier lost a substantial area, 29 km2 due to calving this summer (Box 2008c), and a crack well back of the calving front indicates another 150 km2 is in danger. The volume of the ice lost is much less than that from the loss of a comparable area by Jakobshavn because the ice is an order of magnitude thinner. Once again the key to this glacier's second major ice loss this decade after limited retreat in the last century, is thinning of the floating tongue, which weakens the glacier. The loss of this ice should then lead to acceleration, developing more crevassing and glacier retreat. The crack seen in the image of Petermann Glacier (ASTER image provided by Ian Howat of Ohio State) is more of a rift, like those on Larsen Ice Shelf, than a crevasse. This transverse rift is further connected to longitudinal-marginal rifts. Illustrating the poor connection of the Petermann Glacier to its margin and lack of a stabilizing force this margin has, even 15 km behind the calving front. This is not the only rift of its kind on the glacier. Also note that like on Larsen Ice Shelf the rift crosscuts surface streams.
A series of Landsat images from 2002, 2006 and 2007 illustrate the shift in the terminus and in the position of key rifts A, B and C. The distance back from the terminus has diminished for A and B from 2002 to 2007. In 2006 to 2007 the shift in the position of C is also evident.
As in the case on Jakobshavns, Helheim and others the key is the pre-conditioning phase of thinning, that leads to more calving, that leads to more acceleration, and that generates retreat. In a recent paper in press in the Journal of Glaciology Ian Howat and others examined changes in terminus position, surface elevation and flow on 32 glaciers along the southeast coast of Greenland from 200-2006. Their key conclusion was that the
… ratio of retreat to the along-flow stress-coupling length is proportional to the relative increase in speed, consistent with typical ice flow and sliding laws. This affirms that speedup results from loss of resistive stress at the front during retreat, which leads to along-flow stress transfer. Many retreats began with an increase in thinning rates near the front in the summer of 2003, a year of record high coastal-air and sea-surface temperatures.
This indicates again the importance of pre-conditioned thinning via melting.
Wilkins Ice Shelf (WIS) refused to hibernate this winter. A previous post noted that the recent collapse of Wordie Ice Shelf, Mueller Ice Shelf, Jones Ice Shelf, Larsen-A and Larsen-B Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula has made us aware of how dynamic ice shelf systems are.

Welcome to Western Kentucky University's
Office of Veterans Affairs Online Orientation
Please read the following information carefully.
At the end of this orientation, you will be required to answer some questions and then submit a confirmation page to the VA Office (VAO) showing you have read this information and that you understand all of the information contained herein.
This confirmation will be placed in your file in the VAO.
If you have questions regarding any of the information contained in this presentation, you may contact the VAO at 270-745-3732.
|Who We Are
Throughout this presentation you will encounter the following acronyms.
The application for VA education benefits does not constitute admission to WKU. Application for admission to the university must be made through the Office of Admissions. You may contact the Office of Admissions at 270-745-2551 or online at: http://www.wku.edu/admissions.
You cannot be certified to the DVA unless you have been admitted to the university and registered in classes.
You are responsible for paying your tuition and fees to the university. You should be prepared to pay your tuition and fees up front and begin to receive your monthly VA educational benefits after you attend classe and have been certified to the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).
DVA pays a monthly stipend for each month that you actually attend classes. VA educational
benefits are not based on the University's tuition and fees.
|Deferment of University Bill
While waiting to be paid your monthly stipends from the DVA, you may need to request a deferment of tuition from the Office of Veterans Affairs at WKU. If you do not request the deferment, your bill will be due up front to the university by you. DVA works with a lag time and the deferment is required in order to prevent your classes from being dropped or a late fee added. However, your Certification Request Form must be submitted (and your VA file complete by the first day of the semester) before you can request a deferment.
If you choose to request a deferment, you will have a "hold" placed on your student account until your bill is paid in full by yourself and/or DVA. This "hold" will prevent you from dropping/adding classes, receiving grades, transcripts, etc.
The Deferment Request can be submitted online on the VA Forms page.
Students that interested in on campus housing should contact the Office of Housing and Residence Life by visiting their website or calling 270-745-4359 or visit their website at http://www.wku.edu/housing.
|Applying for Federal Financial Assistance
Veterans may be eligible for financial assistance (grants, loans, etc.) even if receiving VA Educational Benefits. The process of applying for financial aid begins with the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You may file via the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Federal financial aid cannot affect your VA Educational Benefits. However, your VA may reduce the amount of financial assistance you are eligible to receive.
|Credit for Military Service
Credit for military training is evaluated/determined by the Office of the Registrar.
In order to learn what credit may be granted, you must provide a copy of your DD295,
DD214, Certificate of Training or other applicable documents. If you have served on
active duty in a branch of the military for 181 days or more and earned an honorable
discharge you may receive three (3) semester hours of credit applicable to category
F of the general education requirements. Therefore, any course under category F of
the general education requirements will not be certified to DVA.
|Certification Request Form
Every semester, upon completion of registration, you must submit a Certification Request
Form to the VAO (via your TOPNET account under the Financial Aid tab). Certification
Request Forms are processed in the order in which they are received.
|Processing Times
The VAO requires at least 2 weeks to certify your classes to the DVA after you submit your Certification Request Form. During peak times it may take longer.
However, the DVA requires approximately 12-14 weeks to process your initial application
for benefits. Certifications will vary depending upon the work load at DVA.
You will receive benefits only for those courses that apply to your degree and are certified by your VA Certifying Official. The Certifying Official will not intentionally certify courses that are not part of your declared program of study.
You may take any course you want, but DVA will not pay for it unless it is listed on your degree program as a required course for graduation.
Repeat courses are not certifiable unless required by the university to make a grade of "C" or better. If you repeat the course a second time, the VA Certifying Official must go back and reduce your benefits from the 1st semester in which you registered for the course. This will create an overpayment to DVA.
DVA will not pay for you to take an audited course.
You must be degree seeking in order to be certified to DVA.
A Change in Status form should be submitted to the VAO when you add a class or classes (after your intial submission of your Certification Request Form). If you drop or withdraw, the VA Office at WKU will automatically be notified of those changes; however, any additional classes that you add must be submitted through this form.
|Degree Program
The VAO will monitor your Program of Study through your online interactive degree audit (iCAP audit). If you are pursuing a second degree, you are required to submit to the VAO a copy of your official degree program your first semester at WKU. If you are pursuing a master's degree, you are required to submit to the VAO a copy of your Form C. The VAO needs to monitor all classes according to your degree program.
|Major/Degree Changes
A change in your major must be reported to the VA Office at WKU so that applicable
forms can be submitted to the DVA. You will be required to file a new degree program
if your major and/or degree changes. If you change your major in the middle of the
semester, all classes for the current semester, must apply to the new degree requirements.
|Address Change
You must keep your address current. You must notify VA if your address changes. Your
address change can be made by telephone by calling 1-888-442-4551 or in writing to
VARO, P.O. Box 66830, St. Louis, MO 63155-6830. You also need to notify the VA Office
at WKU and the Registrar's Office.
|Academic Progress
You must make satisfactory progress toward your degree objective. Specifically, your GPA must meet the guidelines detailed in the current WKU catalog.
|Satisfactory Academic Progress
You must make satisfactory academic progress with the university. You must also attend the course(s) in which you enroll. If you are placed on academic suspension, your VA educational benefits will be terminated for the duration of the suspension. If you are placed on probation, the DVA will be notified.
|VA Overpayment
An overpayment can result if you drop below the training time that was originally
reported to the DVA and you fail to notify the VA Office at WKU in a timely manner.
Chapter 30 and 1606 must verify their enrollment to DVA on the last day of every month.
You will verify that you are still in school at the training time that was reported
by the VA Office at WKU. If that training time has changed, you need to specify during
this verification process.
|Email Address
Upon initial registration to the university you will be issued a WKU email address.
Students will be notified periodically about important information through this form
of communication.
|Advance Pay
WKU does not participate in Advance Payment.
You can view the date that you are certified to DVA by checking your WKU TOPNET account. The date you are certified to your DVA along with how many courses are certifiable will be posted under your account. You can view this information by logging into your account, click on Student Services, Financial Aid, Awards and Veteran Information.
|Reporting Changes
You must notify the VA Office at WKU of ANY and ALL changes within five (5) working days. The VA Certifying Official will then notify the DVA.
|VA Regional Office
Questions concerning status of application, remaining benefits, status of benefit
check, etc., may be obtained by contacting the DVA.
|VA Office at WKU
Telephone: 270-745-3732
|VA Forms
The Certification Request Form and the Change of Status Form is listed on the VAO website at www.wku.edu/veteran.
The Change in Status form can also be located at the above website. The Change in Status Form is used after you submit your Certification Request Form, when you drop and/or add classes or if you withdraw from the university.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|One point to keep in mind is that the limitation on live-aboards is typically local government ordinance, not marina. However the marina is responsible to enforce. If you tool around the San Diego marinas and mooring fields enough you'll see they got they're hands full - plenty of skows out there. Morale of the story is don't be one of them guys.
|Like anything else, if you extend your stay on board and are more than considerate of others you should be fine. Keep the boat clean with junk off the decks, berth away from the heavy traffic areas. If management pushes back, just say thanks, that your getting some work done and now heading home - then go and come back later. As long as you don't put Marina management in a tough position or tick off a neighbor to have them go complaining you will be fine. Being a good dock citizen, willing to help others makes it easy for people to want you around. I always got phone numbers from my neighbors and would call them during a storm in SD (that's right - one blew 70kts) to tell them they were fine and one a helped run extra lines to my dock cleats. And as you may guess my neighbors were always looking to reciprocate - it was beautiful thing. I never had a problem and I did need to do a lot of refit work before we finally sailed around to Boston. We loved San Diego - try to find the friendliest marina possible. I would guess the larger the better. I liked the Harbor Island Marina - great staff.
I slip my boat at Alamitos Bay, Long Beach. You are allowed to spend 14 continuous days per month on your boat. More than that and you would be considered a 'liveaboard'. So if you spent the last two weeks of a month and the first two weeks of the next month you would not be considered a liveaboard. Slip fees at Alamitos Bay are resonable compared to Newport Beach or Dana Point. However, the docks are wooden and in bad shape. The city of Long Beach (they own the marina) is currently going through the hoops to totally repair the docks with cement gangways/fingers. The problem is they will have to dredge each basin before installation, which means environmental impact studies. The restrooms/showers are no great shakes either, but they work, are clean and warm and hot water. If you want high thread count towels, bring them yourself.
I've sailed out of Marina del Rey but my wife hates the bathrooms (D basin north) so we wouldn't be likely customers unless we joined a slip-owing club there. Bare rough cold floors, steel "mirrors", harsh "prison" lighting, minimal privacy, cold.... But then there was another marina bathroom (in AZ!) we visited that spoiled her with high-thread-count towels, hair dryers, toiletries, and real hardwood partitions. Somewhere in between should do just fine.
The general impression of SoCal vs. the Bay area seems to be that the Bay is around 30% cheaper -- more so as you get further from the city and Sausalito. In San Diego, Chula Vista, Driscoll's, and Mission Bay seem less extortionate. Ventura might also be an option for us. Santa Barbara seems to combine primitive bathrooms (the ones we've seen) with the eternity wait list (unless maybe we buy a "teardown boat" in a slip?).
Good Hunting!
All the previous replies seem to be valid tips for remote owners to visit their boat for extended periods. Of course, if the marina has a hard-line policy against extended stays you would be wise to follow the rules there or find another, more flexible marina. When you find a marina with a relaxed policy for your exteneded visitations, please contact the marina prior to each trip to your boat to inform them of your intentions (and get de-facto approval). Doing so may mitigate the live-aboards' objections. Chat up your neighbor boaters, especially the residents, to let them know your situation. For locations, please consider any port other that Marina Del Rey.
what i was advised by a marina in lost angeles was liveaboard was more than 90 days per yr on board, and only 10 percent of marina slips are for living aboard residents. per state. lol
HOWEVER, what i have SEEN is that every marina and every locale considers live aboard in a different manner--each has own regs and rules and fees.
good luck. there is a loong wait in mos all marinas --if you wish immediate place to stash boat, consider mooring. is an option.or go to mexico. marina coral is just north of ensenada. ensenada is morel like a border town now than it was -- is too busy and has too many displaced sin diego-ites --the wrong kind, btw--and the yard is competitive with the priciest of sin diego yards--again being the most pricey on west coast. so isnt a big saving to go to yard there. the baja naval marina is nice--the bathrooms will spoil ye--but the yard is high for mexico. the people are nice. but the pricing is not competitive with mexico--is competitive with sin diego's ripoff pricing. just my 2 cents....
|Here in the Tampa Bay area it seems like the standard definition of "liveaboard" is 10 or more nights in any one month. But the bottom line is that it varies from place to place, and even from marina to marina within a few miles of each other. So, in the end, the only way you are going to know is to ask the specific policy at any marinas that you are interested in.
the moorings are reasonable but havent amenities. i have 2 boats on moorings at coronado. the permanent mooring is about 130/.month thereabouts. is something to consider as the moorings are safe and well watched over. san diego mooring co ruins them. my temp ballis around 260 per month . i know there is a waiting list , but there is also the availability of temporary , or sublet, balls. try it. you will need a dinghy to travel back and forth to the boat.
from what i have heard, marina coral north of ensenada is nice also..have you tried that one??
Yes, those are good points and thanks for writing them. Since we wouldn't be true liveaboards, we probably wouldn't have too much trouble. I do get a bit of a vibe that the biggest corporate-owned marinas might be less flexible. Also, since we're maintaining our land home, there is a certain "what's the worst the could happen" that would work in our favor; being kicked out of a marina that's super-inflexible or gets bought out and changes policies wouldn't necessarily be a disaster.
For San Diego, it seems the most competitive places are the two Chula Vista Marinas, Driscoll's, and Mission Bay (including perhaps the Mission Bay YC for those with low enough masts and willingness to make the initial payment to join the club). We might also do something like working our way down the coast gradually.
I wrote up some of the info I've gleamed as a liveaboard for the last few years in San Diego, including doing an hour audio interview with our marina manager. Boring as hell for anyone who isn't interested in hearing about marinas and managers.
Rebel Heart - Sailing, cruising, liveaboard blog and website - Eric's Blog - How the liveaboard thing really*works
In short, it really varies by marina and even the ones who are pretty lenient will never outrightly say they are because then they'll get abused by the jerk residents that the rules are there to keep out. A good marina does a good job of flexing the rules to allow the non-problem boaters to have fun but enforces them to keep the jerks out. It stinks having a double standard and "read between the lines" rules delivered with a wink, but it works.

I've not used them but hear they do OK. I'm not all that sure of the need fr them on a 380 being the relitave close range needed for accuracy but if you want them by all means have at it.
From the site:Nitesiters are super photo luminescent, and not self luminescent, like Tritium.
That means they need exposure to light before using them. The good news is, 5 minutes of sunlight, close lamp light, or Ultraviolet light is all it takes to provide many hours of luminosity.

.40 is pretty snappy in a smaller pistol. With proper technique, the K9 is VERY easy to shoot fast and well. Just before I sold mine, I took a female friend shooting with it. She's maybe 5'3" and slim, with commensurately small hands. She shot it well and exhibited good recoil control - her pairs were quite fast. Unfortunately, I did not have my shot timer with me.
I had absolutely no problems controlling the K9. I shoot from Modern Isosceles and use The Grip.

Arsène Wenger admits he can finally rest easy after seeing Arsenal secure automatic qualification to next season's Champions League.
The Gunners ensured a third-placed finish above Tottenham with a hard-fought 3-2 win over West Brom on Sunday despite falling behind inside 15 minutes.
No team in the Premier League came close to Arsenal's record of winning 24 points from losing positions this season - and Wenger welcomed his side's ability to finally get the job done.
"It is good to sleep better at night," the Frenchman told Arsenal Player. "It is a tricky position in fourth because you don't want Chelsea to win the Champions League.
"And to be fourth is playing a qualifier, which every year is more difficult. Therefore just to be in the group stage straight away is fantastic.
"It is true that we had problems getting over the line but we were not the only ones. The players have given a lot, I must say.
"I looked at the players who were out and you see we had no Arteta, no Sagna and all the others who were out but we still managed to win away from home. That is down to remarkable character and I am very proud of the achievement of the team.
"I maybe take the biggest ever [satisfaction from this season] because at some stage of the season everybody would have said you were absolutely mad. We still kept our focus and worked hard together and in the end it is a good present to give Pat Rice."

Over the years we have had numerous requests for a chat room. We even built one at one time, but it never took off. As anyone on Facebook knows, they have created a great chat bar at the bottom of the page which allows you to chat with any of your online friends. Several attempts have been made to recreate this feature for vBulletin, but all have had problems until now. A new add-on has been developed called Cometchat which has been getting excellent reviews and seems to have solved all the issues other attempts have had. The only issue is that this is a PAID addon, meaning we would have to pay for it, and can't get it for free. In most cases like this, we would just buy it and add it, but donations have been pretty slim so far this year with us having a number of months where we haven't reached goal. The TDH bankaccount is slowly dwindling... So, with that in mind, I want to leave it to you the members to decide if you want this feature and if you are willing to donate to get it. The product is $49 and you can learn more about it at their website.
Any donations made between today and July 17th will go towards purchasing this addon. If we have enough on the 17th (minus) what was previously donated for the month, we will get the add-on. I leave it in your hands.

Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
I was looking for a rustic but elegant look and thought Gabriel Springs was perfect for this. I also loved the openness of the venue, and how all guests would be in one room.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Beautiful florals
2. Vintage lace wedding gown
3. Bridesmaids' Kendra Scott earrings that really made my color scheme pop!
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
The one moment I can't stop thinking about is walking down the aisle to the man of my dreams and seeing the look in his face. It made everything feel so right.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:26pm
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Virginia men's lacrosse head coach Dom Starsia is pleased to announce the signing of 10 student-athletes to national letters of intent for the 2011-12 academic year.
Joining the Cavaliers next fall are: Greg Coholan (Irondequoit HS/Rochester, N.Y.), Greg Danseglio (St. Anthony's HS/Islip Terrace, N.Y.), Tyler German (Queen Anne's County HS/Centreville, Md.), Rhody Heller (Regis Jesuit/Denver, Colo.), Albert Kammler (St. Albans School/ McLean, Va.), Taylor Michel (St. Paul's School/Lutherville, Md.), Tanner Ottenbreit (Regis Jesuit/Parker, Colo.), Mick Parks (New Trier HS/Kenilworth, Ill.), Ryan Tucker (Gilman School/Towson, Md.) and Carl Walrath (Haverford School/Glen Mills, Pa.)
"We are always pleased to introduce the young men who are about to embark on the journey as University of Virginia student-athletes," said Starsia. "What truly stands out in this group is the background and overall athleticism. As our game continues to grow and spread in popularity throughout the country, more and more players from emerging areas will begin to impact the game at the highest levels."
Coholan is a 6-foot, 185-pound midfielder from Rochester, N.Y. He is listed as the nation's No. 47 rising senior by Inside Lacrosse as he enters his senior year at Irondequoit. A first-team all-county selection in 2009 and 2010, Coholan tallied 35 goals and 15 assists as a junior. He is also a forward on the hockey team.
Danseglio is a 6-foot, 197-pound defenseman from Islip Terrace, N.Y. He is listed as the nation's No. 26 rising senior by Inside Lacrosse as he enters his senior year at St. Anthony's, the same school former UVa captain Max Pomper attended prior to UVa. Inside Lacrosse recognized Danseglio as the No. 15 rising junior in 2009 and 2010 ESPN RISE Warrior 40 ranked him the No. 3 defenseman and No. 24 overall player in his class. He has helped his St. Anthony's squad to back-to-back New York Catholic High School Association championships and was the Catholic League Defensive player of the year this past spring. He was the only sophomore on the squad in 2009. An all-league performer in 2010, Danseglio was also an Under Armour All-Star in 2009 and 2010.
German is a 6-foot, 200-pound midfielder from Centreville, Md. He is listed as the nation's No. 44 rising senior by Inside Lacrosse as he enters his final year at Queen Anne's County High School after tallying over 100 points last spring. The three-sport athlete was a 2010 high school All-American and Under Armour All-Star. He also is the quarterback of his high school football team, which is currently 11-0, and gearing up for the playoffs. German is also the point guard for the basketball squad at Queen Anne's County.
Heller is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound goalie from Denver, Colo. ESPN Rise 2010 listed him as one of their Top 10 goalies and Lax.com ranked him as one of the Top 7 goalies after the 2010 season. An Under Armour All-Star in 2010, he made 194 saves and posted a 6.60 goals against average with a 64 percent save rate. He earned all-state honors in 2010 and was an All-South Suburban Conference first-team honoree. He is a high school teammate with fellow signee Tanner Ottenbreit.
Kammler is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound defenseman from McLean, Va. An Under Armour All-Star in 2010, Kammler earned first-team All-IAC honors middle linebacker. Kammler hails from the same school as current UVa defenseman Chris Landon, a 2009 graduate of St. Albans. Kammler also is a middle linebacker on the football team at St. Albans.
Michel is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound attackman from Lutherville, Md. He scored 29 goals and assisted on 40 other scores to help St. Paul's School to the MIAA conference championship. He tallied 25 goals and 37 assists in 2009. A three-year letterwinner in football, Michel led the MIAA in rushing with over 1,200 yards in 2008. Returning to the gridiron in 2010 after sitting out 2009 with an injury, Michel already has amassed over 1,000 yards on the ground. As a sophomore in 2008, Michel started at midfield and scored 11 goals and assisted 10 scores. He has already been selected as a captain for the 2011 season.
Ottenbreit is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound defenseman from Parker, Colo. The Under Armour All-Star in 2010 is also an all-state hockey performer. The lacrosse All-American is teammates at Regis Jesuit with fellow UVa signee Rhody Heller and both have been selected as captains for their senior season. He is also a defensive back on the football team, leading the state in interceptions as a junior. His high school football squad is currently 10-0 heading into playoffs this month.
Parks is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound midfielder from Kenilworth, Ill. The All-American was a member of New Trier's state championship squads in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and the school will be trying to capture its seventh-straight state title in 2011. He scored 46 goals and dished out 23 assists as a junior, while winning 85 percent of his faceoffs. He enters his senior season with 64 goals, 28 assists and 240 groundballs for his career. Parks is 15 groundballs away from breaking former UVa All-American Matt Kelly's school record for a career. Kelly was a 2005 graduate of New Trier.
Tucker is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound midfielder from Towson, Md. The two-time Under Armour All-Star is listed as the nation's No. 5 rising senior by Inside Lacrosse as he enters his senior year at Gilman, the same school former UVa All-American and program career co-leader for goals by a midfielder, Brian Carroll, attended. Current UVa defenseman Harry Prevas is also a Gilman alum. Tucker's 97-mph shot won fastest shot at the Warrior Top 40 game in Boston. Tucker also was a member of Gilman's 2010 MIAA soccer championship club.
Walrath is a 6-foot, 195-pound midfielder from Glen Mills, Pa. The All-American is listed as the nation's No. 12 rising senior by Inside Lacrosse as he enters his final year at Haverford, the same school that current UVa captain John Haldy attended. Walrath scored 34 goals and tallied 48 assists on his way to Under Armour All-Star status in 2010, while helping Haverford to a league championship. He also is a tailback and captain on the Haverford football squad, which this month won the school's first INTER-AC Championship since 1971.
"This group includes high school athletes who have excelled in football and soccer, hockey and basketball and should serve as a message to young, aspiring lacrosse players," said Starsia. "The message is to continue to participate in the activities that will develop your competitive athletic instinct. The goal of Virginia Lacrosse has always been to line up each September and begin to work toward playing in the final game of Memorial Day weekend. The group we are introducing to you today gives us a strong chance to continue the outstanding legacy of Virginia Lacrosse and to meet those goals. Fans of the program will enjoy getting to know these young men."

100 Years
The ETSU Centennial Steering Committee Wishes a Happy 115th Birthday to
Besse Cooper, the world's oldest living person, is a member of the ETSU family
As our university marks its Centennial, it is the season to celebrate longevity - and especially a time to salute those who were there during our school's infancy.
So this brings us to Besse Cooper, East Tennessee State Normal School Class of 1916.
Mrs. Cooper is the oldest living graduate of our university. We know this because Mrs. Cooper, at age 115, is the oldest living person in the world.
Born Besse Brown on Aug. 26, 1896, in Sullivan County, Mrs. Cooper now lives in Monroe, Ga., where, her family says, she is doing well. According to records maintained by the Gerontology Research Group, which tracks the lives of supercentenarians, or those who have reached age 110, Mrs. Cooper is 26 days older than the world's second-oldest person.
East Tennessee State University opened in 1911 as East Tennessee State Normal School, founded on a mission of service to the region, initially with the intent of producing qualified teachers to educate the region's students. And Besse Cooper was true to her alma mater's mission: After earning her teaching degree from East Tennessee State Normal, she did indeed become a teacher. She married in 1924 and had four children.
"Mrs. Cooper is an example to hold up of a life lived right and well with the building blocks of education for the mind, service through the teaching of others and the value of family," said ETSU President Dr. Paul E. Stanton, Jr. "We are proud to call her a member of the ETSU family, and we salute her."
On October 1, 2010, East Tennessee State University began its centennial celebration, commemorating one hundred years of teaching, research, and public service in our region and state, across the nation, and around the globe. Establishing the campus on land donated by businessman and philanthropist George L. Carter, we opened our doors in 1911 as a teachers college, with an enrollment of twenty-nine students. Today, that number surpasses 15,000. While we have remained true to our original mission to prepare educators for the classroom, we now offer more than one hundred undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs through eleven colleges and schools. We invite you to join us in celebrating our centennial by enjoying the many activities related to our celebration, including concerts, plays, art exhibits, and sporting events.
