Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that ETSU is not closed this week and ACL will meet tomorrow at Food City. Of course, if anyone is having trouble dealing with the aftermath of the terrible weather and flooding from last week, don't feel obligated to attend. The devastation has been enormous and extends to so many of our family members and friends.
We need to help and care for those who were personally affected
Thanks,
Darla

FIRST FACE OF AMERICA
Discover remains of a 13,000-year-old teenager in an underwater cave in Mexico.
PREMIERED: 2/7/18,RUNTIME: 53:06, TOPIC: EVOLUTION

THIS LINK INCLUDES: Summary, Transcript, Credits, and Participants
(This program is no longer available for online streaming.) One unlucky day 13,000 years ago, a slight, malnourished teenager missed her footing and tumbled to the bottom of a 100-foot pit deep inside a cave in Mexico’s Yucatán. Rising seas flooded the cave and cut it off from the outside world-until a team of divers chanced upon her nearly complete skeleton in 2007. Intricate detective work reveals that the young woman’s bones are among the earliest known human remains in the Americas. What drove her to venture nearly a mile underground inside a vast cave? Where did her people come from, and why does she look so distinct from today’s Native Americans? From a stunning Mexico cave to the wilderness of the Yukon, from the genetics lab to the forefront of forensics, NOVA pursues tantalizing new clues that are rewriting the story of the forgotten first people who ventured into our continent. (Premiered February 7, 2018)

MOUNTAINS BEYOND MOUNTAINS: THE QUEST OF DR. PAUL FARMER, A MAN WHO WOULD CURE THE WORLD by Tracy Kidder, Random House, ISBN-13 978-0812980554, (c. 2004, 2009)
----------------------------
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “[A] masterpiece . . . an astonishing book that will leave you questioning your own life and political views.”-USA Today
“If any one person can be given credit for transforming the medical establishment’s thinking about health care for the destitute, it is Paul Farmer. . . [Mountains Beyond Mountains] inspires, discomforts, and provokes.”-The New York Times (Best Books of the Year)
In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. Profound and powerful, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.”
