Adolf Rosenauer died May 30, 2006 at home surrounded by his loving family following a lengthy illness. Dr. Rosenauer was born in Linz, Austria, September 20, 1922, the son of Alois Rosenauer of Linz and Rosa Fiorioli of Bolzano, Italy.
Dr. Rosenauer completed his elementary education in Linz. He was 17 when the Austrian Anschluss occurred. At that time, he was conscripted into the German Youth Program and subsequently the German Army. By 1940 he had completed one semester of medical school in Munich before being summoned to active duty. As an infantry radioman he was first stationed in Poland and Russia. In 1941 he was called back to Munich for one semester of training as a medic and then rejoined his unit in Minsk. He contracted Typhus during its rampant outbreak in Russia. Ultimately, he was transported to a hospital in Meissen, Germany, where he was fortunate to survive.
His recovery coincided with a regulation directing non-combat medics to return to their university for one semester of clinical training. Due to heavy bombing of the university in Munich, he was reassigned to the University of Innsbruck Medical School. He was then ordered to a medical unit in Kosovo. Subsequently, his unit moved through Greece, Yugoslavia and Italy. With the war in its final days, his commanding officer allowed anyone who so desired to return home. Dr. Rosenauer hiked home to Austria, crossing the Alps at night.
Having been partially destroyed, the University of Innsbruck Medical School reopened in 1945. Dr. Rosenauer was invited to become Instructor of Anatomy while completing his medical doctorate in 1947. He concurrently received Austria's highest prized academic honor the Sub Auspiciis Imperatoris Maria Theresa Academic Ring awarded for unmatched academic excellence throughout his entire educational career.
Dr. Rosenauer then served as Assistant Professor of Anatomy in Innsbruck for one semester. Surgery became his preferred medical choice and he returned to Linz to complete his rotating internship. He was approached by a World Health Organization delegate who was combing Europe for an individual trained in microscopic neuroanatomy. In 1951, Dr. Rosenauer joined a Rockefeller Foundation "cranial pressure" research team at the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine in Ohio. While working on this project, he published numerous research papers, earned a Master of Science in Surgery and became a neurosurgical resident under the renowned Dr. Joseph P. Evans.
Returning to Austria aboard the passenger liner SS UNITED STATES he met his American wife of 51 years, Eva Moore. They were married in Linz in 1954 where he practiced the following year. Dr. Rosenauer subsequently returned to the US when he was invited by Dr. Evans to serve as his Senior Neurosurgical Resident then at the University of Chicago.
In 1957, Dr. Rosenauer accepted a position with an established Reno neurosurgeon. Not yet an American citizen and therefore un able to practice medicine he organized and managed Washoe Medical Center's new EEG lab. He proudly became a US Citizen in 1958. He established his solo practice of neurosurgery in 1962 and was joined for some years by neurologist Dr. Albert Peterman. He remained in active practice until July 2000.
Dr. Rosenauer found Reno a great area to pursue his enjoyment of skiing, climbing and sailing. He was a member of Innsbruck's prestigious Academic Alpine Club climbing every significant peak in the Bavarian Alps. In addition to leading several Reno groups on ski tours of his native Tyrol, he sailed on Lake Tahoe from 1963 to 2003. He was an enthusiastic cyclist and horseman, serving as 1967 president of the Nevada White Hats. He was a pilot, often flying his airplane throughout rural Nevada for medical consultations. He served as a physician for the National Championship Air Races and the Reno Rodeo. An accomplished linguist and ardent historian, his life was beautifully recorded in 2000 by Dr. Roderick Sage.
Dr. Rosenauer served on the staff of Washoe Medical Center and St. Mary's Regional Medical Center for over 40 years. In addition to serving on the VA Hospital staff, he was Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Nevada Medical School. He was a member of Washoe County and Nevada State Medical Societies, Reno Surgical Society, Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Western Neurosurgical Society and Mayfield Society. He belonged to QB, Tahoe Yacht Club and was a Knight Grand Officer of the International Order of St. Hubertus, serving as Counselor to the United States.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Bruno. He is survived by his wife Eva, daughter Patricia Rosenauer Ardill (Richard), son Michael Rosenauer (Cecilia) all of Reno; Kathleen Henriques (Horace), grandsons Fuller and Alois Henriques of Lyme, NH and numerous Austrian cousins.
The family wishes to thank Dr. Rosenauer's many medical colleagues who thoughtfully cared for him during his final years.
He will be profoundly missed.

39-year old Spanish actress Penelope Cruz has been tapped to be the next Bond girl according to many reports.
The "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" actress will star opposite Daniel Craig in the follow-up to "Skyfall." The film does not yet have a title but will be the 24th official James Bond film.
Penelope Cruz has surpassed Honor Blackman to become the oldest Bond girl yet, she turns 40 this year. Blackman played the infamous Pussy Galore in 1962's Goldfinger, when she was 39.
The shoot will put pressure on the pregnant Penelope to drop the baby weight right after she gives birth, but producers are sure Cruz will be as svelte as ever on the set.
The Daily Mail reported that the Oscar-winning actress is expecting her second child with husband Javier Bardem "any day."
"Bond girls are always brainy as well as sexy, and that's totally Penelope," a source said.
It's that combination that attracted Bardem, who played the villain in the last Bond film. No word yet on whether the two will have a connection in the next film.

Sacolick, commanding general of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (JFKSWCS), was promoted to the rank of Maj. Gen. during a ceremony Jan. 7 in Fort Bragg's John F. Kennedy Auditorium. Lt. Gen. John F. Mulholland, Jr., commanding general of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, officiated the ceremony. Sacolick's promotion comes in recognition of his potential to serve in increasingly senior Army leadership roles, Mulholland said during the ceremony. Sacolick's current position as the JFKSWCS commanding general is a two-star general officer billet. Sacolick took command of the organization as a Brig. Gen. in August 2010 and was officially nominated by the Secretary of Defense for appointment to the rank of Maj. Gen. in November 2010. He has commanded special-operations forces at the detachment, troop, squadron and group levels within the U.S. Army Special Operations Command. Before taking command at JFKSWCS, he served as the organization's deputy commanding general for two years, starting in June 2008. Sacolick's military education includes the Special Forces Qualification Course, the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, and a senior service college fellowship with the Central Intelligence Agency, completed in August 2006. As the Army's primary special operations institution, JFKSWCS manages training and education for three Army branches: Special Forces, Civil Affairs and Military Information Support Operations. This training includes entry-level qualification and advanced tactical and leadership courses for the Army's seasoned special operators.

I just knew you would be reading this page after that title, you'll find out why
A lazy day making the most of the Caribbean sunshine we sat ourselves on the beach cooling off with regular dips in the sea.
Lisa joined us around lunchtime and we decided to eat at the hotel which has its open air bar/restaurant right on the sea front. Following lunch the three of us grabbed loungers and relaxed in the sun. The girls sent me to the bar for cocktails and we indulged in Strawberry daiquiris, very refreshing!
Think they got used to being waited on, they sent me again during the afternoon happy hour, this time for beers
I could see Lisa and Claire falling about laughing as I teetered across the sand towards them, even another couple started laughing, I almost offered them a beer. It wasn't a problem I took half the bottles to the room and put them in the fridge for later.
We were watching the planes fly in towards the airport which is not too far along the coast. There were some large planes with a few jumbos. There are so many Brits on this island and now we know why, as Lisa exclaimed "wow, two virgins in one day" now that's a lucky day! Even though Lisa didn't realise what she had said.
We all got ready to go out for the evening meeting Alvan at the New Century Chinese restaurant in St Lawrence
After the lovely meal we went for a beer down the gap as they call St Lawrence gap around here. A quieter bar than last time but they did start the karaoke later. We all bullied Alvan into having a go on the mic, I remember he had a good voice from his Manchester days.
By now it was late enough, Lisa has an early flight tomorrow going back to Caymen. Unfortunately there is no direct flight so she has to stop off in Jamaica which makes it a long flight. Have a safe journey and thank you so much it has been great to catch up.

Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
wow, looks like youve had a lovely day.
now that is what I call a random saying lol...
There's just no answer to that title lol.
You can tell Lisa'a a local - not a hint of tan but the tourists most certainly do.

History of the House Collection
In her teenage years, Mildred Bliss (née Barnes) was already collecting prints, watercolors, rare books, and textiles. After their marriage in 1908, the Blisses began collecting together, first purchasing English antique furnishings from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as well as important but smaller-scale western Medieval tapestries. Their growing interest in Medieval art led to important acquisitions of French Gothic sculptures. They were also attracted to the French Impressionists and famously acquired Degas's Song Rehearsal in 1918 at the artist's estate sale.
After purchasing Dumbarton Oaks in 1920, the Blisses began planning as early as 1924 for a Music Room. This room, more than any other in the house, would come to embody the Blisses' taste both as collectors and connoisseurs. In 1929, the Blisses purchased Italian Renaissance furniture from the Brambilla collection at the Villa Farnese at Caprarola. They also acquired significant antique rugs, which due to their fragility can no longer be displayed. In the early 1930s, they obtained two important, large-scale tapestries, The Month of April and The Prince of Malice, and a portrait of Mary of Burgundy by the German Renaissance artist, Bernhard Strigel.
In the late 1930s, as they prepared to give the property and collection to Harvard, the Blisses continued to acquire for the Music Room. These latter acquisitions were of exceptionally high quality and included Tilman Riemenschneider's early sixteenth-century lindenwood sculpture Virgin and Child on the Crescent Moon and El Greco's early seventeenth-century Visitation.

Our Japan correspondent, Toby Slade, spoke to Tim Brunero about all the news from our far northern neighbours.
The Commemoration of the 67th Anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing this year met with protestors rather than the usual peaceful remembrance. This served as a reminder for Japan to establish a long-term energy structure that would steer clear of nuclear energy.
Tim and Toby also discussed the plans to relocate the entire city of Miyagi after a devastating tsunami; and Tim also finds out what's wrong with the libidos of Japanese Teenagers.

Not so obvious ways to save money on New York car insurance
Those looking to save the most money on New York car insurance (some of the most expensive car insurance in the country) are going to want to pay close attention to the inside information included below.
Sure, there are a couple of obvious things that you can do to save money on New York car insurance, but there are some not so obvious tips and tricks that you'll find in this quick guide that can really put your savings over the top.
It's not at all uncommon for people to save between a few hundred dollars and a few thousand dollars (or more) on New York car insurance just by taking advantage of the details that we break down below.
Ready to get started?
Extend the length of your insurance term to save money
One of the most "not so obvious" ways to save money on New York car insurance from https://insurancequote.deals/new-york-auto-insurance-quotes, is to actually extend the terms that your insurance policy operates on.
Most people are operating on a month to month basis, paying premiums on a specific day each and every month, and that's what they're used to. However, by simplifying the billing process for an auto insurance company by breaking your terms into quarterly or even annual terms, you will be able to save a lot of money along the way.
Take advantage of the electronic or automatic New York car insurance payments to save money
Another great not so obvious way to save a considerable amount of money on your auto insurance is to set up electronic or automatic payments.
Every New York car insurance company out there is going to be at least a little bit nervous about customers that aren't going to pay their bills on time – or at all – so if you establish an automatic or electronic payment system that they can count on they'll usually be willing to provide you with some kind of discount as well.
Shave unnecessary coverage to save the most money on New York car insurance
Finally, the overwhelming majority of people in the state of New York (and all over the United States, for that matter) are spending a lot more money on New York car insurance than they should be, only because they are paying for unnecessary coverage that they don't need in the first place. Review your insurance policy to make sure that you aren't paying for insurance you don't need, and cut as much fat from the policy as possible to save money instantly.

How To Install Ux Theme Multi Patcher
To install the patch, first Download UXTheme Multi-Patcher and save it to My Documents (or a folder where you'll be able to find it). Once the file has finished downloading, open up My Documents (or the folder where you saved it to) and unzip the nw_uxpatcher.zip file (see How To Unzip A File).

Double-click this file to run the UXTheme patch. A window will appear with some information – click Patch. The following message will then appear (along with a "Windows File Protection" dialog). You will need to wait for at least one minute before clicking Cancel. Do NOT insert your setup CD.
After cancelling the Windows File Protection, it will then ask, "Are you sure you want to keep these unrecognized files versions?" Click on Yes. Then click OK on the message shown above and restart your computer for the patch to take effect.

DeMaio, Jorgensen, and Simon's Congressional Republicans Take Their Repeal Obsession to the Radio
Speaker John Boehner's House has been the least productive in history – thanks to 46 obsessive votes to repeal the health care law and no votes to move forward on bipartisan legislation to pass a budget, immigration reform, a farm bill or the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Reports say this Congress will enact fewer laws than at any point in the past 66 years.
Instead, Congressional Republicans are spending their time launching baseless political attacks on the radio to support the campaigns of Carl DeMaio, Kirk Jorgensen, and Dr. Fred Simon—all as a part of their relentless repeal agenda obsession. DeMaio, Jorgensen, and Simon would join Washington Republicans' in their fixation on health reform repeal above all else, letting gridlock and dysfunction would continue.
"Congressional Republicans can't let go of their health reform repeal fixation, and they are counting on Carl DeMaio, Kirk Jorgensen, and Fred Simon to carry on their partisan campaign to protect insurance companies at the expense of the middle class," said Matt Inzeo of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "While the to-do list for San Diego and the country grows, Carl DeMaio, Kirk Jorgensen, and Fred Simon's Congressional Republican leadership keeps beating the repeal drum instead of working to get things done."
USA Today: Congress On Track To Be Least Productive In 66 Years. In November 2013, USA Today reported the following: "Congress is on track to beat its own low record of productivity, enacting fewer laws this year than at any point in the past 66 years. It's a continuing slide of productivity that began in 2011, after Republicans recaptured the House majority in the 2010 elections, and the ability to find common ground has eluded the two parties while the legislative to-do list piles up. The 112th Congress, covering 2011-12, emerged as the least productive two-year legislating period on record, while 2013 is on track to become the least productive single year in modern history." [USA Today, 11/30/13]
Washington Post: 113th Congress Is Going Down In History For Inaction, Despite Long To-Do List. In December 2013, the Washington Post reported the following: "According to congressional records, there have been fewer than 60 public laws enacted in the first 11 months of this year, so below the previous low in legislative output that officials have already declared this first session of the 113th Congress the least productive ever. In 1995, when the newly empowered GOP congressional majority confronted the Clinton administration, 88 laws were enacted, the record low in the post-World War II era." [Washington Post, 12/2/13]
House Republicans Have Voted 46 Times to Repeal or Dismantle the Affordable Care Act. "Republican elected officials have seen the Affordable Care Act as essentially unfixable—that's why House Republicans voted 46 times to repeal or delay the implementation of the law, instead of working with the White House over the past three years to identify and solve problems within it of the sort that tend to accumulate in any such massive piece of legislation." [The Atlantic, 11/27/13]
- Each Vote to Repeal the Affordable Care Act Costs Taxpayers $1.45 Million. "Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote for the 37th time to repeal President Barack Obama's health care act. The political theater will give conservatives fodder for their constituents, but will end up costing voters even more. Last year, CBS News calculated that the first 33 votes to repeal health care reform took up approximately 80 hours of floor time from the House, or roughly two weeks. The Congressional Research Service said it costs $24 million to run the House for a week, so the first 33 votes cost taxpayers approximately $48 million. The numbers translate to approximately $1.45 million per vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act in the House of Representatives. Adding in the three votes since CBS News' report last year plus Thursday's planned vote would add $5.8 million to the total." [CBS Miami, 5/16/13]

Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 2.2 Beta
Red Hat came out with its own virtualization product at the end of 2009 and is now driving development of its Enterprise Virtualization for Servers.
The version 2.2 beta is available exclusively for customers. The U.S. Linux provider is basing the hypervisor on KVM technology and appending its virtualization solution with a variety of tools. The 2.2 release should increase maximum memory per VM from 64 GBytes to 256 GBytes. Virtual servers and desktops can also be managed from the same management platform. Import and export of VM images and templates can also be over the industry-standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
The hypervisor itself is based on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 kernel, which means new hardware support. Red Hat mentions the Nehalem-EX CPU from Intel and AMD's Opteron 6000 series as examples.

With 48% of emails read on a mobile device, according to Litmus, and 63% of consumers saying they delete emails immediately if they are not optimized for mobile, according to Return Path, there's a growing imperative to be mobile-friendly. But being mobile-friendly doesn't necessarily mean moving to responsive email designs.
Depending upon your capabilities and the percentage of your emails opened on mobile, you might find moving to a mobile-aware template a very attractive alternative—at least for the near-term. According to ExactTarget research involving nearly 160 B2C brands, 78% of marketers don't use either a responsive or mobile-aware email template. So at least for now, there's still a big competitive advantage to adopting mobile-aware email design, although I do anticipate responsive design adoption to grow significantly next year.
Making your template mobile-aware involves three key elements:
In recent months, a number of large retailers have made their email templates mobile-aware, including JCPenney, Banana Republic, Staples, Walmart, and Victoria's Secret. Their redesigns—shared below—should give you plenty of ideas of how to execute a nice transition from desktop-centric design to mobile-aware.

The early years professionals, who have all spoken out against government plans to relax ratios in childcare settings, said they noticed they were unable to follow her account two weeks ago.
One of the affected childminders, Penny Webb, said she frequently directed tweets towards Truss voicing her opinions or sending links to research she felt would be of interest to the minister.
But about two weeks ago, Webb noticed she was no longer receiving tweets from Truss's Twitter account in her Twitter feed.
"I searched for her username and tried to click 'follow', which I thought was odd because I was already following, but it said I was blocked from following," said Webb. "I can't do anything in connection to her Twitter account now."
Webb said she had never sent Truss any tweets that would be considered aggressive or personal, and believes Truss is deliberately blocking childcare professionals.
"She's supposed to be professional as an MP and I'd expect her to listen to what people are saying, particularly because she's making changes to our profession," said Webb.
"I always thought that if enough people spoke up they would be listened to. But I get the impression she's deliberately not listening to people who are not satisfied with her ideas."
Webb, who set up a petition calling on the government to drop its plans to relax childcare ratio regulations, believes somebody is monitoring Truss's account and targeting people for exclusion.
Webb claims that when she exchanged tweets with another blocked childminder, which was copied to Truss, a third childminder who responded to their tweet subsequently found she was no longer able to follow Truss's account.
Beth Thomas, another childminder who claims to have been blocked, said she is planning to complain about the matter to her local MP, former children's minister Tim Loughton.
"It's not democratic," said Thomas. "The whole point of having a democracy is that we can contact people in a position of authority to provide them with our opinions. The fact that she won't allow us access to her makes me wonder what kind of a democracy this is?"
Thomas says she was contacted by other childminders a week ago, who asked her if she had been blocked.
She responded by tweeting: "I can still follow @trussliz, although after this tweet I'm not so sure." Thomas says her access to Truss's account was subsequently suspended.
Prior to this, her final tweet including Truss's Twitter handle said: "Supposed to be studying today but distracted by @trussliz and her upcoming announcements. Wish I could focus but my future is in jeopardy."
Another childcare professional who spoke to CYP Now, but wished to remain annonymous, urged childminders to check if their Twitter accounts had been barred, arguing that the number of early years professionals afffected could be even higher.
Following the complaints raised by childminders, the head of an early years organisation has discovered her Twitter account was also barred.
Denise Burke, director of United for All Ages and the Good Care Guide, found her access to Truss' account had been blocked at the weekend.
"I'm astonished and annoyed that Liz Truss has decided to block me from following her on Twitter," said Burke.
"It's quite obvious that the minister is just burying her head in the sand and not listening to those of us in the childcare sector who are speaking out against her misguided proposals to change ratios."
A Department for Education spokesman responded to the allegations by saying Truss's Twitter account was a personal matter.
He said Truss met regularly with childminders and other interested parties, and denied suggestions that her account was run by any other people on her behalf.
"Personal social networking accounts are matters for individual ministers," he said.
He added that Truss would "respond to all enquiries on this issue" she received by email.
The claims follow accusations published in the Observer at the weekend that staff at the DfE used Twitter to launch political attacks on opponents.

We had a little bit of time before lunch so we explored the town making multiple stops in various shops. I let the ladies convince me to purchase a traditional german hat and pins. They all say it looks good
The typical decorations and paintings on the houses are absolutely stunning. They are of course typical of Bavaria and Switzerland but I still marvel at each one. We made our way back to the hotel for our lunch with the group and then departed for the 20mins trip to Oberammergau. Although the scenery was beautiful, I took a little nap along the way to make sure I would not fall asleep during the presentation since it is only done every 10 years!!!
The play was WONDERFUL and the musical pieces awesome. I cannot believe that no one in the entire production is a professional. One would never tell from the perfection that was presented to us. I teared up several times from being in awe more than anything. Just astounding and something EVERYONE should do if at all possible. The message is great but it is truly the delivery that marvels. The play is delivered in two parts lasting a total of five and a half hours. It sounds long but time goes by quickly and your are entertained all the way thru.
A delightful day. An experience never to be forgotten. History in the making. Raw, true talent on display. DO IT and enjoy it as much as we did.

Team preview: Marshall
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2003-04 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
That rumbling heard from Marshall's Thundering Herd last spring was the stampede of change within the program.
First, 6-5 junior shooting guard Ronald Blackshear (20.3 ppg, .370 3PT, .888 FT), the team's leading scorer, declared for the NBA draft in April. Then head coach Greg White left Huntington in early June-two and a half months after assurances from athletic director Bob Marcum that White would return for his eighth season at Marshall-to assume the same position at the University of Charleston. The move to the Division II school was made, White said, so he could spend more time with his family.

text: Aside from the AC problems i had, looks like i have another one. Decided to pull the 27' Jayco to the lake this weekend and the truck would not stay in overdrive, not to mention, it really struggled to climb the slightest grades; however, unhooked, the truck seems to run just fine. Took it to mechanics this morning and after doing a number of checks and diagonistics, they cannot find anything wrong with the engine; pressures, spark, timing, sensors etc is spot on. They also drove the truck and said it has plenty of acceleration and power; they've also ruled out that it can be transmission related. They asked to keep the truck remainder of day and would call me tomorrow after looking at it further. I'm running aftermarket American Eagle wheels (16x7.25) w/ 265 firestones so i have to believe i'm not losing any power due to oversize wheels/tires. Also, I ruled out the trailer brakes were sticking, and, even had the trailer connection disconnected a short while but this did not improve anything. I pretty much maintained a speed of 60-63mph, turning roughly 2500-2600 rpm the entire way; however, on some grades, my speed would drop to 50-53, and limited my rpms to 2900. So, once again looking for some advice or suggestions from you guys. I have to think something is going on, and we just haven't been able to put our fingers on it. Surely this trailer isn't too much for this truck?? TIA, james - - - Updated - - - I failed to mention earlier i'm running stock 373 gears and the truck doesn't have a lift or any other modifications other than a magnaflow exhaust. any advice would be appreciated, thanks! james

About Hon. George Percy, Colonial Governor of Virginia
George Percy
George Percy (September 4, 1580 – 1632) was an English explorer, author, and early Colonial Governor of Virginia.
George Percy was born in England, the youngest son of Henry Percy, 2nd/8th Earl of Northumberland and Lady Catherine Neville. He was sickly for much of his life, possibly suffering from epilepsy or severe asthma. He graduated from Oxford University in 1597. While at university, he gained admission to Gloucester Hall and the Middle Temple.
Percy's vocation was the military. His first service came in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain in the early 1600s. He also served in Ireland.
Percy was part of the first group of 105 English colonists to settle the Jamestown Colony. He departed England in December 1606 and kept a journal of his voyage. He arrived in Virginia in April 1607 and recorded the struggles of the colonists to cope with the American environment, disease, and the Powhatan Indians. "Thus we lived for the space of five months in this miserable distress," he wrote in his journal, "not having five able men to man our bulwarks upon any occasion."
Although Percy had a higher social rank than all of the other first colonists, he was initially denied a seat on the Virginia Council. Nevertheless he took the lead in the early life of the colony, taking part in the expedition to the James River falls in May and June 1607. In autumn 1607, he sided with the President of the colony, Edward Maria Wingfield, who was subsequently deposed by John Ratcliffe, Gabriel Archer, and John Smith. From late 1607 until autumn 1609, Percy had little power in Jamestown but served as Smith's subordinate.
When Smith left the colony in September 1609, Percy assumed the presidency of the colony. However, his persistent illness kept him from executing his office, leaving the duties of the presidency to Ratcliffe, Archer, and John Martin. It was during Percy's tenure that the colony suffered through the "Starving Time" in the winter of 1609-10. "Now all of us at James Town beginning to feel that sharp prick of hunger, which no man truly describe but he which hath tasted the bitterness thereof," he recounted later. Percy accomplished little while President, other than to order to construction of Fort Algernon at Old Point Comfort. When Sir Thomas Gates arrived in May 1610, Percy happily surrendered control of the colony to him.
In June 1610, Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr arrived in Jamestown and with a commission to serve as the colony's governor. De la Warr appointed Percy to the council and named him captain of the Jamestown fort. In August 1610, De la Warre sent Percy and seventy men to attack the Paspahegh and Chickahominy Indians. The force ravaged the Indians' settlements, burning their buildings, decimating their crops, and indiscriminately killing men, women, and children. Percy also led the successful defence of the Jamestown fort against an Indian attack and earned the praise of De La Warr. When the Governor returned to England in March 1611, he appointed Percy to lead the colony in his absence. "But the winds not favoring them, they were enforced to shape their course directly for England--my lord having left and appointed me deputy governor in his absence, to execute martial law or any other power and authority as absolute as himself." Percy's term as Governor lasted until April 22, 1612, when he departed for England.
After his service in the New World, Percy returned to England but remained interested in colonization schemes. In 1615, he proposed an expedition to Guiana but found no supporters. In 1620, he sold his four shares in the Virginia Company and returned to military service. Percy returned to the Netherlands in 1621 when war between Spain and the Dutch resumed. He was the commander of a company in the Low Countries in 1627. It is uncertain whether he died in England or in the service abroad.
George Percy married Anne Floyd.[4]
The couple had one daughter, Anne Percy, who married Governor John West.

- Percy, George by Raymond Beazley
- PERCY, GEORGE (1580–1632), author and colonist, was eighth son of Henry Percy, eighth earl of Northumberland [q. v.], by his wife Catherine, eldest daughter and coheiress of John Neville, lord Latimer. Henry Percy, ninth earl of Northumberland [q. v.], was his brother. Born 4 Sept. 1580, he served for a time in the Low Country wars, and subsequently took part in the first permanent English colonisation of America. He sailed for Virginia in the first expedition of James I's reign (December 1606). On 23 May 1609 his name appeared among the incorporators of the Second Company of Virginia. On 31 Aug. of the same year Gabriel Archer mentions him as one among the 'respected gentlemen of Virginia' who can testify how false are the stories of mutiny in Jamestown at this time. Percy was made deputy-governor on the recall of John Smith in September 1609 to answer some misdemeanours, as Percy and others of Smith's enemies declared. He held office during a critical period until the arrival of Sir Thomas Gates [q. v.] in May 1610. Lord De la Warr became governor a month later, and appointed Percy a member of his new council (12 June 1610) (cf. R. Rich, Metrical News from Virginia, London, 1610). On the departure of Lord De la Warr in March 1611, Percy, in recognition of his former services, was reappointed deputy-governor until the arrival of Dale in the following May. According to Spelman's 'Relation of Events,' 1609–11—probably written in the autumn of 1611—Indians at this time came from the 'great Powhatan' with venison for Captain Percy, 'who now was president,' and Sir Thomas Dale wrote to the Virginia Company from Jamestown, 25 May 1611, that he was received by Percy, who, after hearing his commission read, surrendered up his own, 'it being accordingly so to expire.'
- On 17 Aug. 1611 Percy excused himself for his large expenditure to his brother Henry, who had paid on his account 432l. 1s. 6d. during the past year. He argued that, as governor of Jamestown, he was 'bound to keep a continual and daily table for gentlemen of fashion.' A Spanish writer (in the Simancas archives) drew the distinction between Percy and his successor Dale, that the former had been 'appointed for himself,' the latter by order of the king. Percy left Virginia for England on 22 April 1612. Dudley Carleton, in a letter on the exploration of the James River, credits Percy with having named the main settlement James Fort. On 15 May 1620 he transferred to Christopher Martin four of his shares in the Virginia Company, and, after the war broke out again in the Low Countries, returned for a time, probably in 1625, to his old occupation of volunteering against Spain in the service of the United Netherlands. Here, we are told, he distinguished himself, had one of his fingers shot off, and was active in commanding a company, in 1627. He died unmarried in 1632.
- Percy played a leading part in the controversy between Captain John Smith and the other original settlers in Virginia. After the appearance of Smith's 'General History,' with its account of affairs during the time of Percy's government, Percy wrote, in answer, about 1625, 'A True Relation of the Proceedings and Occurrents of moment which have happened in Virginia from the time Sir Thomas Gates was shipwrecked upon the Bermudas, 1609, until my departure out of the country, 1612.' This he sent to his brother, the Earl of Northumberland, who fully accepted his statements, and treated him through life with the utmost kindness and confidence. Percy was also the writer of a 'Discourse [or Observations] of the Plantation of the Southern Colony in Virginia,' one of the manuscripts printed by Hakluyt. This manuscript came to Purchas, who printed in his collection illustrative extracts. It is chiefly devoted to accounts of native customs, and describes the famine and diseases from which the colonists suffered.
- If the 'True Relation' is to be believed, Smith, who was once known as the 'Saviour of Virginia,' must be treated as a braggart and a slanderer. But Percy, who appears from his letters to have been a needy, extravagant dependent of his brother, wrote this full thirteen years after the events it records; and his evidence hardly carries sufficient weight to warrant the full adoption of his statements. His 'Discourse' (in Purchas) does not contain a word of censure on Smith.
