Helen Norris Papers, MSS.4084
No full textAbstract: Typescript copies of several plays, poems, and novelsScope and Content Note: The collection contains typescript copies of several unpublished novels as well as plays, essays, and poems written by Helen Norris.Biographical/Historical Note: Helen Norris, daughter of Elmer Wharton and Louise Brown Norris, was born in Miami, Florida, on June 22, 1916. She moved with her family to Montgomery, Alabama, at an early age. She attended the University of Alabama and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in 1938 and 1940 respectively. Her thesis was a draft of what became her first novel, Something More Than Earth, which was published in 1940. Shortly after graduating, she married and moved to Birmingham, Alabama, and later Sylacauga, Alabama. The couple had three sons: Tom, Stuart, and Wilson. The marriage ended in divorce in 1965, and in 1966, after a year working toward a PhD at Duke University, she returned to Montgomery, where she taught English at Huntingdon College. After her retirement in 1979, she devoted her time once again to her writing.Norris published five novels and five collections of short stories. Two of her short stories have been made into television films, the first by HBO in 1988 and the other by PBS in 1999. She won several literary awards including the Andrew Lytle Prize for Best Short Story (twice) and had stories included in the O. Henry Awards Prize Stories in 1984, 1985, 1987, and 1991. She was awarded the Harper Lee Award for Alabama's Distinguished Writer in 2000, the Alabama Library Association's Alabama Author Award in 2002, and was designated the sixth Poet Laureate of Alabama from 1999-2003.In 2003, Norris moved to Black Mountain, North Carolina. She died on November 18, 2013

Willow Wilson is the award-winning author of Ms. Marvel. She lived in Egypt during her early twenties; her first graphic novel, Cairo, was based there and was listed as a top graphic novel for teens by both the American Library Association and the School Library Journal. Her comic series Air was nominated for the Eisner Award, and her first novel, Alif the Unseen, won the 2013 World Fantasy Award
Kathy Griffin with Norris Gornto on guitar
No full textThis 1967 photograph taken by photographer Juanita Wilson shows Kathy Griffin singing with Norris Gornto accompanying her on guitar in the Mountain Youth Jamboree. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

Letter to Nature. Warm tropical ocean surface and global anoxia during the mid-Cretaceous period
No full textThe middle of the Cretaceous period (about 120 to 80 Myr ago) was a time of unusually warm polar temperatures, repeated reef-drowning in the tropics and a series of oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) that promoted both the widespread deposition of organic-carbon-rich marine sediments and high biological turnover. The cause of the warm temperatures is unproven but widely attributed to high levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. In contrast, there is no consensus on the climatic causes and effects of the OAEs, with both high biological productivity and ocean 'stagnation' being invoked as the cause of ocean anoxia. Here we show, using stable isotope records from multiple species of well-preserved foraminifera, that the thermal structure of surface waters in the western tropical Atlantic Ocean underwent pronounced variability about 100 Myr ago, with maximum sea surface temperatures 3–5 °C warmer than today. This variability culminated in a collapse of upper-ocean stratification during OAE-1d (the 'Breistroffer' event), a globally significant period of organic-carbon burial that we show to have fundamental, stratigraphically valuable, geochemical similarities to the main OAEs of the Mesozoic era. Our records are consistent with greenhouse forcing being responsible for the warm temperatures, but are inconsistent both with explanations for OAEs based on ocean stagnation, and with the traditional view (reviewed in ref. 12) that past warm periods were more stable than today's climate
