LIFE and WORK in the BANANA FINCAS of the NORTH COAST of HONDURAS, 1944-1957 a Dissertation
CAMPEÑAS, CAMPEÑOS Y COMPAÑEROS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda January 2011 © 2011 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda CAMPEÑAS Y CAMPEÑOS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 On May 1st, 1954 banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill in the biggest labor strike ever to influence Honduras, which invigorated the labor movement and reverberated throughout the country. This dissertation examines the experiences of campeños and campeñas, men and women who lived and worked in the banana fincas (plantations) of the Tela Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, and the Standard Fruit Company in the period leading up to the strike of 1954. It describes the lives, work, and relationships of agricultural workers in the North Coast during the period, traces the development of the labor movement, and explores the formation of a banana worker identity and culture that influenced labor and politics at the national level. This study focuses on the years 1944-1957, a period of political reform, growing dissent against the Tiburcio Carías Andino dictatorship, and worker agency and resistance against companies' control over workers and the North Coast banana regions dominated by U.S. companies. Actions and organizing among many unheralded banana finca workers consolidated the powerful general strike and brought about national outcomes in its aftermath, including the state's institution of the labor code and Ministry of Labor. -
US Bishops Pass Measures to Investigate And
U.S. bishops pass measures to investigate and prevent abuse The U.S. bishops’ conference voted to approve proposals intended to respond to recent scandals involving sexual abuse, coercion, and cover-up on the part of bishops, most notably former cardinal Theodore McCarrick and the disgraced Bishop Michael Bransfield. The bishops, gathered in Baltimore for their spring General Assembly, voted overwhelmingly June 13 in favour of three measures aimed at building processes to address episcopal misconduct or neglect, and the ongoing crisis of credibility widely perceived to overshadow ongoing work to eliminate sexual abuse from the Church. Bishop Bransfield, of Wheeling-Charleston, W. Va. is accused of sexual assault. Pope Francis removed McCarrick from the priesthood in February after he was found guilty of abuse. The assembly approved protocol explaining the powers of a diocesan bishop to curtail the public ministry of a retired bishop in his former diocese by a margin of 212-4. They also approved a set of directives applying in the U.S. the new universal norms for investigating allegations against bishops promulgated by Pope Francis in Vos estis lux mundi. After initial discussion earlier this week, they were presented to bishops with an explicit exhortation for metropolitan bishops to appoint “on a stable basis, even by means of an ecclesiastical office, a qualified lay person” to receive allegations against bishops and work with the metropolitan in any subsequent investigation. The directives were approved by 218-1. The bishops also approved a joint statement, Affirming Our Episcopal Commitments, establishing a non-binding moral commitment by bishops to hold themselves to the same standards and measures as are currently applied to their priests and deacons. -

Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology University of Michigan Annarbor, Miciiigan
OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF THE MUSEUM OF ZOOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANNARBOR, MICIIIGAN THE SPHAERODACTYLUS (SAURIA: GEKKONIDAE) OF MIDDLE AMERICA INTRODUCTION Splzaerodactylus is one of the most speciose genera of gekkonid lizards. It is confined to the Neotropics, and the majority of its divers- ity is found in the West Indies where approximately 69 species, and an additional 74 subspecies, have been well-documented (King, 1962; Schwartz, 1964, 1966, 1968, 1977; Schwartz and Garrido, 1981; Schwartz and Graham, 1980; Schwartz and Thomas, 1964, 1975, 1983; Schwartz, Thomas, and Ober, 1978; Thomas, 1964, 1975; Thomas and Schwartz, 1966a,b). The mainland radiation was poorly understood until 1982 when Harris published his revision of South American sphaerodactyls. No comprehensive study has yet been at- tempted for Middle American forms, and it remains the last area of taxonomic confusion in the genus. The number of taxa currently recognized in Middle America is not great (10 species according to Peters and Donoso-Barros [1970], Schwartz [1973], and Smith and Taylor [1950b, 19661); however, their geographic distribution and variation, and status as species or subspecies remain to be con- vincingly demonstrated. The Middle American sphaerodactyl fauna appears to be divisible into two geographical-historical components. Most of the taxa may be thought of as belonging to an endemic group because the sister taxon *Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, Museum of Zoology, The University of Michi- gan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1079 U.S.A. 2 Harris and Kluge Orc.

Texas Bishop Says He Is Saddened That Defending the Gospel Is Considered ‘Bold’
Texas bishop says he is saddened that defending the Gospel is considered ‘bold’ Bishop Joseph E. Strickland of Tyler, Texas, wouldn’t label himself as “bold.” “Talk to one of my siblings; I’m No. 5 of six kids,” Bishop Strickland recently told Our Sunday Visitor in an interview. “If you talk to my older brother, Paul, and ask, ‘Would you describe your little brother Joe as a bold man?’ he’d probably say, ‘Joe’s a nice guy, but I don’t think bold would be the word.'” But Bishop Strickland’s staunch defense of Church teaching and strong advocacy for transparency in the wake of the recent clergy abuse scandals — more widely pronounced in recent years thanks to social media — really can’t be described as anything but. While he speaks simply and almost understatedly, Bishop Strickland also manages to be both blunt and direct. “Honestly, I guess I’m bold enough to just say what I think,” he said. Even “if it gets me in trouble — sometimes it does — I’m going to be true to what I believe. It really saddens me to be considered bold for simply reading the Catechism out loud.” “When I was ordained a bishop almost seven years ago, I said I’d guard the deposit of Faith entire and incorrupt,” Bishop Strickland said. “That’s what I’m trying to do. It shouldn’t be considered bold to simply uphold my promises. It’s a basic job description.” In a wide-ranging conversation, Bishop Strickland shared many of his thoughts about the Church today, including internal divisions, the challenges and joys of living the Faith, the ongoing clergy sex abuse crisis and the path toward healing. -
