LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, October 6, 1967 No. 4 Students blacken signs on Palmer By DAVID PERRET Wanted: parking The two hour parking signs on Palmer Ave. were painted black by a group of 10 Loyola University students early last Saturday morning. The action was taken in an effort to have the parking restrictions repealed. Palmer Ave., two blocks from the Loyola campus and parallel to it, is now adorned with a black-painted sign in every block. A spokesman for the group said, "At least on three occasions Tulane University and Loyola University students petitioned City Hall in a legal manner to have the two hour parking signs removed from Palmer Ave. Since no recognition was given to the movement, our group felt it was our duty to take stronger actions. "We feel the Student Council has sat on their hands long enough on this and other matters." Members of the clique claim the purpose behind the action was to solve the problem temporarily until ample parking area could be obtained permanently. "We want.. the city's officials to sit up and take notice," the leader continued. "By painting the signs, this will cost the city time and labor as well as money. Maybe now they will have at least a vague idea of how bad this growing problem really is." The sign painters rendezvoused at 2 a.m., synchronized their watches and then departed on the venture. The spokesman said it wasn't an easy job since Palmer Ave. is patrolled by private police, university security guards and the New Orleans Police Department. The job was "pulled off due to modern tactical devices and diversionary tactics and it was accomplished with ease." He went on to say "walkie-talkies and an automobile headlight coding system" provided a relatively easy method for getting around the law enforcement officers. As one of the members put it, "We really caught them napping." "What really gripes me," the spokesman went on, "is the fact that people who live on Palmer Ave. can park in front of my house for as long as they like. Why is it I can be in front of their's for only two hours?" BLACK IS BLACK: Palmer Ave. parking signs were painted black last week in an effort to remove the two hour limit currently in effect. 'Picnic' set for presentation by drama dept.; cast chosen Production has begun on William Inge's play Picnic which will be presented by the drama department Oct. 26, 27, 28 in Marquette Auditorium. The Pulitzer Prize winning play, originally presented in New York City in 1953, concerns the entrance into a small Kansas town of a young virile man. He disturbs the small community because of the "end of summer romances" which he generates.Frances Mandill, A&S sophomore, will take the female role of Helen Potts and Barney Fortier, A&S senior, will portray Hal Carter, male lead. Other members of the cast are Roseanne Coletti as Millie Owens, Carl Ordonez as Bomber; Sharon Seckso as Flo Owens, Lee Greer as Rosemary; Steve Calamia as Alan Seymour; Cassie Anderson as Irma Kronkite; Beth Collins as Christine Schoenwalder; Bruce Bonnecarrere as Howear Bevans; Kathy Kilgore as the fourth teacher; and Trish Lynch as the fifth teacher. Rehearsal of the play has been going on for two weeks with four more weeks of practice left before final rehearsals. The cast of the play consists mostly of drama department students, nine of whom are rookie actors.Miss Carroll Durand is the set designer and W. Patrick Harrigan assists as technical director. Dr. Donald V. Brady, chairman of the department, is the director. "I think three-fourths of the plays last year were good," said Dr. Brady. "We proved that there is an interest for drama here at the university. Audiences rose from 25 to 30 to full houses of 240," he said. The drama department has seen an increase in majors this year from last year's five or six to 20 presently. "Obviously our majors have increased and many students are minoring in drama. We are now the equal of any drama department in the city and superior to most," he said. Dr. Brady praised the university's administration for its support of his department and productions. Other plays to be presented during the year will be Jack Gelba's The Connection, Frederick Longsdale's On Approval, and Ben Johnson's Volpone. An original play by Dr. Brady will also be presented. REMBRANDT COMPETITION: Loyola students combined their artistic talents, dipped their brushes into brilliant hues, and came up with this masterpiece of modern art. The "Paint- In," as it was called, was sponsored by the Student Union. The "art work" will be auctioned off at the next TGIF, with the proceeds going to the United Fund. Talent Nite slated Dec 2; auditions set Ott. 20-21 The annual Talent Night program, sponsored by Blue Key National Honor Fraternity, is set this year for December 2 in the Field House. Participation is open to students enrolled in any of Loyola's schools and colleges. Eligibility will be made by application blanks turned in to Blue Key before October 17. Individuals and group applicants, before being accepted, must audition before the Blue Key membership. Auditions are scheduled for October 20-21. Time and place will be announced at a later date. Members of the accepted acts are required to pay a $.50 fee to cover insurance, make-up and maids. All acts must provide their own scenery, props, costumes, sound-tracks and any other special effects. Faculty members are invited to participate in a skit to be written and produced by the drama department. The skit will be presented only if an adequate amount of interest is shown by the faculty. Those interested should contact Mary Fiser, chairman of the Faculty-Student Relations Board. Acts are classified into three categories: individual, group and variety. Three awards will be presented in each division. Talent Night will also include the presentation of the campus court to the student body and the public. The show is considered part of the homecoming activities on campus. Application forms are now available in the dean of students office, dean of music school office, lobby of Danna Center, evening division office and Biever and Buddig Halls. Senator says 'Asian commitments' needed before U.S. can pull out of Vietnam fight By SHERYL BUTLER Sen. Charles Percy (R.-Ill.) said at a Republican fund-raising dinner here Saturday night that the U.S. "can't pull out of Vietnam without requiring commitments from the Asian nations." He said that it is these nations whose "political and territorial integrity is more at stake than ours." The United States cannot take away the South Vietnamese people's right to fight for themselves and their own freedom, Percy added. Percy said one of the many causes of the "great credibility gap" that has arisen between the administration and the public is due to President Johnson. Johnson campaigned on a policy of moderation in Vietnam, Percy said, yet "thrity days after he was inaugurated, he started bombing North Vietna—the very thing he condemned." Percy, who is considered a "dark horse" candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, excluded himself as a candidate for either the Presidency or Vice-Presidency in 1968. However he spoke favorably of California Gov. Ronald Reagan, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, Michigan Gov. George Romney and New York Mayor John Lindsay— all of whom he said would be a better alternative than President Johnson.No one thought that after its humiliating defeat in 1964, Percy said, the Republican party could rise from the ruins and forge ahead to regain their national prominence and power."The Republicans are not responsible for 6,000 to over half a million fighting men being over in Vietnam; or rising taxes or the ruins of Newark and Detroit," he said. Percy said that the people, both Democrats and Republicans, will demand a change and rally around the Republicans for this change in 1968. Republican leadership has never been so dynamic or capable than it is at the present time, according to Percy. If the Republicans are to win in 1968, they must emphasize the basic differences between the two parties, said Percy. He cited four major dif- Who's Who cites LU students, tags 34 for new catalog Thirty-four Loyola University students have recently been named to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Those receiving the honor, which is based on scholarship, leadership, citizenship and extracurricular activities, are nominated by the heads of their respective departments. The Rev. J. J.

Author Miller Williams has five books ready for print Five books authored by Miller Williams, Loyola English professor, will be published in early 1968. Williams wrote the books over a period of four years. "Chile: Selected Writings from the 60's" was a result of a year Williams spent as a visiting professor of United States literature at the University of Chile in 1963-64. The book is a collection of contemporary Chilean poetry, short stories, and a one-act play. "Poems and Antipoems of Nicanor Parra" is a translation of poems written by Nicanor Parra, a controversial Chilean poet who revolutionized Spanish poetry. Willaims said he chose Parra as a subject because "he is the most exciting poet in Spanish now." He has broken the "sweet sentimentalism" which has characterized Spanish poetry for so long, Williams said. Parra's antipoems are a "deliberate attempt to destroy" all the old poetry written under the Royal Spanish Academy, said Williams. "Parra is doing in Spanish poetry now what Walt Whitman did 100 years ago in English poetry." He is "breaking all the rules," he said. The poems in this book are arranged in a bilingual parallel fashion with the Spanish text and its English translation set side by side. William's second book of poems, "So Long at the Fair," will be among the new books published. A critical anthology, "The Achievement of John Ciardi," deals with Ciardi's lyric poetry. It is also in bilingual parallel arrangement and is included in "The Modern Poets Series." Williams' first novel, "Coley's War," is the story of four University of Arkansas students who, for different reasons, go to Latin America to help rebels overthrow the government.The book is a "kind of initiation novel, an odyssey," said Williams. Rev. Fuller appointed to Project REACH Staff By GARY ATKINS Inter-faith exchange The Rev. Clarence G. Fuller, a 36-year-old Methodist minister, has recently joined the staff of the Loyola Institute of Human Relations. The Rev. Mr. Fuller, who will serve as co-director of curriculum for project REACH (Rural Employment Action and Counseling Help), said one of the reasons he came to Loyola was because of his belief that "churches need to work across denominational lines." Project REACH is a new, one-year program designed to provide counseling, training and employment aid to the unemployed and "under-employed."An under-employed person, the Rev. Mr. Fuller explained is one who is unemployed because his skills are becoming obsolete, one who is working less than full time, or one who is working below his capacities. The project, according to the Rev. Fuller, has three specific purposes: to help the local communities to develop through the use of their own resources; to provide "prevocational orientation" for the trainees through the use of lectures, movies and workshops; and to develop jobs for the program's participants. "Project REACH does not teach skills," he emphasized. "Rather, it helps people understand the basic skills and opportunities" that they already have. Generally, the program, which is funded by the Department of Labor, is "going very well." Mr. Fuller said. Some changes have been made, he explained, and the program directors hope to improve the project further. The Rev. Fuller feels that he is now having "one of the most interesting experiences" of his life with Project REACH and Loyola. He had "no feeling of apprehension" and "no hesitation whatsoever" about coming to a Catholic university, he said. In fact, the Rev. Fuller continued, he "would like to encourage more churches" to cross denominational lines and "enter into social work through projects similar to REACH." Mr. Fuller was ordained in 1964 and then served as associate minister at the Carrollton Methodist Church in New Orleans. Later, he was appointed minister at the Magnolia-Corhin Methodist Churches in Baton Rouge. The Rev. Fuller has also served as chaplain at the Greenwell Springs Tuberculosis Hospital.

By Sally Huggins
For NCAA.org
While the dietary supplement industry may look like a minefield to an athletic trainer, several resources are available to help.
Because supplements are not as black and white as drugs when it comes to what is safe for a student-athlete, a positive drug test may be the result of an athlete taking a supplement that he or she heard was "natural," legal, or free of any banned substance.
The reality is that the supplement industry is largely unregulated, and the ingredients listed on the container may not be everything that is in the seemingly innocent performance booster. In addition, the sales clerk behind the counter or others recommending the substance may not be familiar with or able to interpret NCAA policy. Appeals after a positive drug test too often claim reliance on a person outside the NCAA structure for recommending the supplement.
For instance, a product may be described as natural but that word does not make it safe. The term natural does not necessarily mean something is good for the body, said Michele Macedonio, a registered dietitian and nutrition consultant and a director of sports dietetics with SCAN (Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutrition). For example, she said, arsenic is natural but shouldn't be ingested.
Diane King, sports dietician and certified athletic trainer, said people can't know what is in a supplement unless they take it to an independent lab. Herbal remedies are especially problematic. Studies have shown that as much as a quarter of the samples had contaminants, often with a banned substance.
King said the more athletic trainers can educate their athletes about nutrition, the less the athletes will fall prey to supplement advertising. A sports nutrition survey of certified athletic trainers at the National Athletic Trainers' Association meeting last year found that about half of the ATCs felt their understanding of sports nutrition was "good," and 81 percent rated the significance of nutrition to performance enhancement as "very important."
The NCAA does not endorse or approve any supplement product, nor does the Association support reliance on a supplement certification service, since there is no way to ensure that every batch of a product that has undergone a certification review is as pure as the batch tested.

Are you looking for a new vehicle? Whether you're looking to lease, buying used, or buying new, there are some things you should know and look for. Buying a car
• You need to remember that there are three steps to the buying process. This process includes: Buying your new car Selling your old car Financing your new car.
Make sure to look at each option carefully and get your best deal for each.
• Before you go to the dealership, figure out if you can afford a new car. The total of your debt shouldn't be more than 40% of your monthly take-home pay. "These are some of the things we look at for our members when considering loan requests," says George Isola, General Manager of ICFCU.
• Know exactly what you want before stepping foot into a dealership and stick to it.
• Know the car you want to buy before you go car shopping. An excellent way to research is the internet.
• Research which dealership to buy from. Find a reputable one and also one that you live near, if your car ever needs repairing. A convenient location is also a plus.
• Test drive the car and have it thoroughly checked out by a mechanic before you buy it. You want to do this especially if you are buying the vehicle "AS-IS" – without a warranty. Make sure to ask questions about the car; if it's ever been wrecked, condition of the brakes, condition of the tires, etc.
• Check out the body of the car in the daylight. Make sure to look around the bottoms of the fenders, under the doors, and in the wheel wells for rust. Paint that doesn't quite match may be signs of a new paint job, which could be covering damage.
• It is very important to get a "CARFAX." CARFAX is a commercial web-based service that supplies vehicle history reports to individuals and businesses on used cars and light trucks for the American and Canadian marketplaces.
The information on CARFAX reports will include: Title information, including salvaged or junked titles Flood damage history Total loss accident history Odometer readings Lemon History Number of owners Accident indicators, such as airbag deployments State emissions inspection results Service records Vehicle use (taxi, rental, lease, etc.)
CARFAX receives information from more than 34,000 data sources including every U.S. and Canadian provincial motor vehicle agency plus many auto auctions, fire and police departments, collision repair facilities, fleet management and rental agencies, etc.
• Check out the tires carefully. Uneven wear usually indicates a bad alignment. Take a friend along and have them watch the car as you drive away. Have them look for wobbling or unevenness, which can signal frame problems.
• Check all of the warnings. Carefully read all disclosures on the car's window sticker, door frame, title and contract.
• Have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) analyzed. Experian Automotive Information Systems maintains a database of more than 135 million VINs, which can provide mileage reports at previous points of sale, safety recalls issued for the vehicle, and insurance claim information. Recently making the service available to all commercial lenders, credit unions and auto dealers are the only ones that currently use this service.
• Remember that all things are negotiable. This includes price, features, financing, terms, trade-in, warranties… everything. Don't be afraid to ask questions, or make counter offers.
• Keep the price of the new vehicle and the price you want for your trade-in separate. Don't let the dollar amount depend on the other. If you don't get what you want for your trade-in, it is doubtful that the salesperson will lower the price on the new car to make up the difference.
• Try to determine the actual value of your trade-in. Financing
• There are 3 Golden Rules to help you to save money on financing Make as large of a down payment as you can afford. Look for the lowest interest rate Repay the loan as quickly as possible
• Shop for financing first. Don't wait until you have a car picked out. Often you can make an impulse decision that isn't your best deal. A credit union tends to lend more money than a bank and often has more favorable interest rates. Credit unions also have arrangements with local dealerships, offering member-only sales. Make sure to call around to other banks and dealerships as well, to find your best deal.
• Look at the total cost of the deal, not just the monthly payment.
• Five and six year loans are available for most buyers but these extended loans are a terrible value. The longer you stretch out payments to make them easy and affordable, the more interest you pay on the financing.
• Some dealership finance companies offer low rate specials like 1.9% but make sure to look at the terms involved. Most often you'll have to pay 40% down and finance for only 24 months.
• Never give the dealership a credit application until you know for sure that you are going to finance through them. Make sure you have exhausted all other sources.
• Get your best deal in writing and go home and sleep on it. Your thoughts will be clearer and the deal will most always be there in the morning.
• If you're not having fun buying your new car, go home. This is not a time to give into high pressure sales pitches or your own tiredness. This occasion should be fun. Leasing
• Leasing is going to cost you only the expected decline in the car's value during the term of the lease. For example, if the $25,000 vehicle is expected to have a value of $17,500 in 30 months, your payments would be based on $7,500 plus interest and also the sales tax. When you purchase a new/used car you must pay sales tax on the full amount. Also, if you drive more than 1,000 miles per month, you should look at leasing with care.
• With leasing there's no trade in risk for the vehicle you're driving; when the lease is up they take back the car.
• Also, you may be able to drive a nicer vehicle than you can afford for the same amount of payment if you were to purchase the car.
• When the lease is done, there is nothing to show for what you've been paying for. When you purchase a car, you get to keep the car when it's paid for. Steer Clear of Laundered Lemons
• In Michigan, the Consumer Protection Act safeguards consumers by requiring merchants to disclose any defects or problems with the merchandise to potential buyers. Make sure to check the mileage. If it's low, question whether the owner got rid of the car because of problems.

Program History
In 1982, California established a groundbreaking program for birth defects monitoring. The California Birth Defects Monitoring Program (CBDMP) has since become a model for surveillance in other states and a worldwide leader in providing data for birth defects research.
Program Information
Surveillance efforts are conducted by qualified entities, including the March of Dimes Foundation, supporting the California Department of Public Health goals and resources and advancing CBDMP's mission of identifying opportunities to prevent birth defects and improve the health of babies.
CBDMP performs active case finding for surveillance in select California counties, which contain a representative sample of the State's population. Information is collected on specific congenital and inherited disorders to provide the public, researchers and the medical community with accurate data on birth defects.
Data Collection: We set procedures for identifying children with birth defects, reviewing medical records and linking cases with state and national agencies. Data collection is concentrated on major heart defects, oral clefts, neural tube defects, hypospadias, abdominal wall defects, Down syndrome, chromosomal defects.
Surveillance: We focus on common birth defects with substantial public health impact. We strive to monitor a large number of representative births in California so that findings will be scientifically meaningful and have a potential to prevent the most widespread conditions threatening today's infants.
Registry: CBDMP's Registry database has information amassed from surveillance of over 25 years and 6.25 million births. We strive to gather data on a core group of conditions in a large representative sample of births.
Inquiry: With a data collection and analysis framework in place, CBDMP responds to inquiries from the public, research and medical communities.
Public Health Monitoring: CBDMP monitors the rates of birth defects by geographic and demographic attributes. CBDMP provides data for public health reports, needs assessments and program evaluation.
Public Outreach: CBDMP works to communicate relevant information and identify appropriate resources specifically for California families concerned about birth defects.
Continued Leadership: With many published findings and ongoing monitoring of California births, the CBDMP continues to be a leader in birth defects surveillance.

Accessible to all registered nurses in November, 2013, ANA is providing a comprehensive health risk appraisal (HRA) with funding from Pfizer. This HRA will give nurses real-time data on their health, safety, and wellness, personally and professionally. Nurses will be able to compare their results to those of other nurses in specific groupings such as age or nursing specialty. Additionally nurses can compare their results to national averages and ideal standards. Upon completion of the HRA, nurses are directed to a web wellness portal, filled with interactive quizzes, games, and pertinent resources. The HRA will also build nursing data, inclusive of all ages and both sexes. Current data will be collected and updated as well as new data, such as how often nurses eat out at restaurants and wear sunscreen. Watch nursingworld.org for the official launch!
In June of 2013 at the ANA Membership Assembly, 114 registered nurses beta-tested ANA's HRA. The majority of nurses was female, working fulltime and actively employed in nursing. Forty-four percent have been a nurse for 31-40 years. What are some interesting statistics that we have learned so far from participants?
This beta test gives encouraging results about tobacco smoke-free healthcare and about RNs being immunized for influenza and Hepatitis B. But we can see that we have much more work to do to improve our overall health, safety and wellness. Just think, if all 3.1 million registered nurses increase their personal wellness and that of just some of their family, community, co-workers and patients, what a healthier world we would live in!
ANA has demonstrated its commitment to "HealthyNurse™" and safe and healthy work environments through its development of the Department for Health, Safety, and Wellness. We are here to assist you on your wellness journey, increasing safe and healthy personal and professional practices.

Rumour has it they're about to become extinct...but the world just wouldn't be the same without red heads. In fact, we might even still think it was flat!
You might have already guessed that red is the rarest of hair colours, but did you know that red hair is so rare it makes up only 2% of the world's population? And that there have been numerous reports over the last few years claiming red hair is a dying colour, which will be wiped out by 2060…
If you're one of the 2% reading this, though, there's no need to panic just yet! According to science, while there may be a decline in the gene for red hair, it's not going to vanish into thin air just yet. And thank God for that, as red heads through the centuries have proved a formidable lot with their beauty, brains and brawn.
Modern day ravishing red heads include Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross, but did you know Cleopatra was also believed to be a natural red head? Royal red head Prince Harry serves his country well, but it's probably in his genes: His royal relative Queen Elizabeth I crushed the Spanish Armada and was perhaps the gutsiest red head of them all. Clever explorer Christopher Columbus sported a flame-haired mane too…and who knows where we'd be without him.
On the Irish end of things, Maureen O'Hara of The Quiet Man was known as the Queen of Technicolor for her red hair and green eyes. When Pirate Queen Grace O'Malley was told she was too young to sail the high seas, she cut off her long red mane in protest. And in mythology, Cu Chulainn, whose hair "twisted like the tange of a red thornbush", battled the red-haired female warrior Queen Medb of Connacht over a prize bull during the Cattle Raid of Cooley.
While Scotland has the highest proportion (followed by Ireland), the US has the largest population of red heads in the world, boasting between 6-18 million. A Huffington Post columnist recently hosted the world's first ever beauty and fashion event dedicated to red heads. It was in New York in March. Missed it? Then there's another red head related event you can catch in August in Ireland. And it's all set to be a fiesty affair...
Now in its fourth year, the annual Irish Red Head Convention is being celebrated as part of The Gathering 2013 in County Cork. Organiser (and natural red head, of course) Joleen Cronan says she and brother Denis initially came up with the idea as a joke, but has seen phenomenal interest in the event. "We celebrate everything red head. We're distinctive because of our hair and there's a real bond that exists between red heads. It's all for a good cause and great fun, we don't take the event too seriously!"
As for those scandalous rumours of the red hair gene's demise, Joleen is certainly not worried "You could even be a red head and not know it. We'll be around for a long time to come."
The event sees freckle-counting competitions, red head parades, ginger chef cook-offs and certificates for foxiness. There's even a carrot tossing championship. No doubt if Queen Elizabeth I was still alive today she'd be hightailing it to that.
If you're a red head, it makes perfect sense to join the party now (before you become extinct...)

Looking for capital to start or grow your business? Sometimes, even with a solid idea and business plan, finding third party financing can be a challenge for many small business owners. So where are startups and growing businesses finding the funds they need? According to a Kauffman Firm Survey, one-third of young firms do not use capital injections. Instead, they rely on owner investment or nonbank sources of funds, with the most frequently used source of startup dollars being owners' and relatives' savings (source). But...

So, what sustainable strategies can you use to maintain and grow your margins? There's no one-size-fits-all silver bullet, but here are some suggestions that might pay...

Alongside home ownership, early retirement is a long-held American dream. But in recent years, planning for retirement itself, let alone an early one, isn't getting any easier. In 1991, half of all American workers planned to retire before they reached the age of 65. Today, that number has plunged to just 23 percent. And that's not the only alarming statistic. A study conducted by Boston College's Center for Retirement Research reported that American workers are $6.6 trillion short of what they need to retire comfortably....

Hear how Dickinson's global opportunities, from study abroad to the internationalized campus community, benefit our students and make us a national leader in global education and long-term study abroad.
Students in the Global Scholars Honors program conducted research on the effects of ocean acidification--often referred to as the "evil twin of climate change"--and they continue their work back on campus, preparing their data and findings for publication.
Students and faculty at Dickinson and Akita University in Japan team up to tackle rural community health and quality of life, a 21st-century challenge with local and global dimensions.
Dickinson was awarded a $500,000 grant by the U.S. State Department to train emerging leaders on strategies for managing and mediating water conflict.
The ability to trace global factors to local developments, and vice versa, is among the most critical skills of the 21st century, a skill consciously cultivated through Dickinson's Global Study program.
Returning from abroad represents a point of significant transition for many students, academically and socially. Dickinson continues to evolve a rich and varied program of activities designed to provide students with opportunities to build on, integrate, and share what they have learned overseas.
Any consideration of the concept of sustainability would be incomplete without reference to a global context. With this in mind, Dickinson has sought to develop meaningful linkages between its renowned Global Study and Sustainability Education programs.
Global Study at Dickinson is not a box to be checked en route to a degree. It's a course of life. The global careers of Dickinson alumni testify to the profound influence Global Study has had on their life trajectories.
Dickinson students utilize the timeless rigors of liberal learning to confront the most critical challenges of our globalized age. Foreign language study, regional and area studies and the interdisciplinary investigation of the causes and consequences of globalization form the core of our approach, an approach recognized for excellence byUS News & World Report, NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the American Council on Education.

Recent attacks on Eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei) in the mountains of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have put a spotlight on this gentle giant. The Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda are the only places left in the world where the Eastern gorilla survives today.
In 1995, about 16,000 Eastern gorillas were estimated to wander the forests of Eastern Afromontane Biodiversity Hotspot and eastern edge of the Congo Basin High-Biodiversity Wilderness Area. Today, after a decade of losses, scientists are unsure how many remain. Throughout their range, populations have been reduced, fragmented, or completely lost as result of targeted poaching for bushmeat and deforestation.
The mountain gorillas are the most well-known of the Eastern gorillas. These distinct populations, numbering around 700 individuals, are a key tourist attraction and source of hope for fragile economies emerging from years of conflict in the region. They are an example of where humans and conservation can co-exist and benefit, even in an area with some of the highest densities of humans on the planet.
Until the recent attacks, some populations were held up as a rare conservation success for Africa's great apes. Some areas saw population numbers increase thanks to coordinated conservation efforts of the last decade. In DRC's first community-run nature reserve, Tayna Gorilla Reserve, supported by CI and the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, scientists reported larger than previously recorded populations, once feared to be at risk of extinction.
The story is far bleaker for its close relative, the Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), which has suffered even greater losses as a result of heavy commercial poaching and increasing Ebola outbreaks due to increased contact with humans. These threats have been driven by commercial logging which has increased access to populations that were once isolated. The IUCN now classifies the Western gorilla as Critically Endangered.
Both species are highly threatened by habitat loss and hunting, but the Western gorilla has been placed under greater risk from Ebola, which has killed humans and apes alike in some areas. The world-famous mountain gorillas that were studied by Dianne Fossey are considered by most experts to be a unique population of the Eastern gorilla.

Wiley Sword is at it again. In his latest book "Courage Under Fire: Profiles in Bravery from the Battlefields of the Civil War" he includes an essay titled "What Kind of Courage" where he attacks the character and integrity of Gen. John Bell Hood, accusing him of lacking "moral courage." A fully detailed and sourced expose' of Sword's latest collections of errors, ommissions and intentional deceptions has been posted at http://www.swordexposed.com |

Sword is quite famous for his bent against John Bell Hood. What is your excuse for getting upset about it? |

From this and previous posts you obviously have a downer on Wiley Sword. Most authurs ( not all ) have some bias for and against one side or the other or one person or another. Knowing Swords bias's why do you read him? |

I can understand the passion, and if anyone clicked on the link, the article is from the Sam Hood Historical Society, whose purpose would be to defend Gen. Hood and attack whatever they see as falsehoods. I feel the same way about William C. Davis - he's a misleading "expert", and it takes more time to check his facts than is worth the information he might provide. Also, he has an annoying money-grubbing habit of collecting up old articles and publishing them as new books, or taking a single topic from an old book, tinkering with it a bit and selling in on amazon as a new "treatment". So when anyone cites Davis on anything, I pull out my soapbox. Member samhood is spreading the word about an issue he cares about - I posted the "catfight" emoticon because I've heard this fight before, between the Sam Hood Society and Sword (and others - Gen. Hood is a controversial figure, and his behavior is open to many interpretations). His post was just provocative in tone, resulting in the tones of the responses. A productive discussion might be to question why Sword has such a poor opinion of Gen. Hood, in the same way William C. Davis has such a poor opinion of Gen. Johnston. |

Actually the fairest and most even-balanced views I've heard on Hood come from author and fellow discussion board member Eric Jacobson. A "just the facts, maam" type of approach. |

Guys: Thanks for your interest, curiosity, or whatever motivated you to read the Swordexposed essay. My username is my real name, Sam Hood, and I am a relative of Gen Hood, although not a direct descendent. Like all of you I am a Civil War enthusiast and preservationist, and because of my collateral kinship to the Gen. Hood, I have always studied his life and career in more depth than other Civil War characters who interest me. I am active in the John Bell Hood Historical Society. Many years ago when I first read Sword's "Confederacy's Last Hurrah" I was shocked at many of his assertions, which were inconsistent with established family history. I was also astonished at how much of the historical record known to me was absent in Sword's book. It became apparent that Sword was revealing to his readers only selected records, all of which were critical of Hood. This seemed to me to be deplorable conduct from a scholastic standpoint. How can a non-fiction reader possibly be educated when the author filters out any and all evidence that does not support a predetermined conclusion? Furthermore, I found it deplorable that Sword would attack the personal honor and integrity of a defenseless dead man. Misrepresentation and fact-filtering the historical record to paint Hood as a poorer general than he was is bad enough, but to make an all out assault on the man's personal character, tarnishing his eternal reputation, to me, simply crossed the line of human decency. I discussed the matter with Sword personally in 2003, and he blamed the absence of all pro-Hood evidence in his book on his publisher, who he claimed culled 25% from his manuscript. Although I didn't believe him, I nodded and let it pass. Then, four years later, Sword wrote essentially the same thing in his latest book, proving that his casting blame on his publisher for the earlier book was false. My motivation for defending Gen. Hood and exposing Wiley Sword's scholastic and literary malfeasance, although originally inspired by kinship, is now driven more by a desire to warn the Civil War history community of his behavior. People who buy his books need to know what he is capable of doing to his subjects. I frequently speak on Gen. Hood and the Tennessee Campaign at CWRT and SCV meetings, Living History events and other gatherings. I have never accepted a penny in honorarium, or even travel expenses, which have taken me as far from my West Virginia home as California and Texas. And rather than charge the public for my research on Gen. Hood by publishing a book, I provide all information free on the internet. I encourage observers to compare my motives to Sword, who, as far as I know, does not give his books away for free. Was John Bell Hood a successful army commander? Absolutely not. As Private Sam Watkins wrote, Gen. Hood, as an army commander, "was a failure in every particular." But Watkins also wrote, "He was a noble, brave and good man, and we loved him for his virtues and goodness of heart...Every impulse of his nature was to do good, and to serve his country as best he could." To criticize Hood's decisions as commander of the Army of Tennessee is appropriate, but to attack the man's personal honor, as Sword does, is inappropriate in the extreme, as is Sword's propensity to intentionally mislead his readers, and charge them for the privilege. Sword is a gifted writer for sure, which makes his conduct even more reprehensible. He should use his God-given talents to educate, not indoctrinate, and to inform, not misinform.

Dittos to Grumpy Geezer. Read Eric Jacobson's book if you want to know about Spring Hill and Franklin. Jacobson cuts through the rumor and myth, and lets the ENTIRE historical record speak for itself. |

ole wrote: Sword is quite famous for his bent against John Bell Hood. What is your excuse for getting upset about it? Greetings, I find this comment puzzling, no offense. History is about nothing if it isn't vigorously based in truth and accuracy. All students of history should be deeply concerned about truthfulness in books and articles, especially about the Civil War which we all are so passionate about. I've been a student of the Civil War for over 30 years. I am deeply passionate about it, and care very much about accuracy in historiography. Sam Hood's passionate defense of General Hood is not based only upon the fact that General Hood has been unfairly maligned in popular history, most famously in Sword's "Confederacy's Last Hurrah". This defense of Hood in history is long overdue and is a discussion that is important in understanding the Civil War and the War in the West in particular. Sam Hood's defense of Hood is a defense of excellence in Civil War studies, a defense of accuracy, and an indictment of agenda-driven untruths. This discussion is all the more important because of the visibility that Sword has in the marketplace. In most bookstores, his is the only book on the Franklin and Nashville campaign. The fact, clearly proven by Sam Hood and others, that Mr. Sword is egregiously false and misleading in his treatment of General Hood merits the kind of defense that Sam Hood and others have presented. Sam makes the case quite clearly, as does Eric Jacobson in his recent excellent treatment on Spring Hill and Nashville that there is no historical evidence to confirm the portrayal of General Hood as presented by Sword. If there is no evidence to support Sword's portrayal, and the record shows actually that Sword is wrong, then what is Sword's portrayal of General Hood at Franklin other than fiction. The evils of fictionalizing historical events and persons and presenting such portrayals as scholarship is too obvious a point to merit further discussion on the point here. As students of history isn't the pursuit of truth the foundation of our world? Do we need an "excuse" to defend a person who has been wrongly characterized and maligned for present and future generations? I think that most students of history want our heroes and villains to be dealt with fairly and accurately. Mr. Sword has not been fair with General Hood - the record must be corrected. Sam Hood is doing the Civil War community and everyone who cares about the pursuit of truth in history a great service; one never needs "an excuse" to set the record straight. To suggest such a thing is bizarre to me. Sam's passion in setting the record straight is one that I share. I applaud him for his research and his efforts. Agenda-driven history ...isn't. Wiley Sword's attacks on General Hood are not supported by the facts. Therefore, his approach is agenda-driven opinion and is not valid history. If his discussion of Hood at Franklin and Nashville and elsewhere are conclusions based on Sword's agenda of criticizing Hood the result is not good history - it is bad scholarship. If Sword is wrong about Hood at Franklin, what else is he wrong about? Such a profound misrepresentation of General Hood at Franklin puts the entire book to question. Sword is an excellent writer, but his "scholarship" regarding Hood is not accurate. The record must be corrected, and we all, as students of history and passionate defenders of truth should support all such corrections. That is what historical debate is all about. If one has a position and an opinion one ought to support them with facts. If there are no facts to support them, the result is a novel or a bad book of history. This is what Sword has done. Sam Hood's fight to correct the record should be applauded by everyone in the historical community. One doesn't need an excuse to defend the truth. It's the right thing to do in and of itself. One doesn't need an "excuse" for getting "upset" about bad scholarship. All interested historians and students should get "upset" when historians like Sword, and now McCullough, go astray. It's a serious matter and can only undermine scholarship. Folks like Sword confuse the subject, muddle it up, and break the trust that readers have with historians. This is why we should all get upset. If folks don't care about this kind of thing... well, they're not really historians and they're not really about the truth. Best Regards, Daniel Mallock Civil War student and pursuer of truth |

I have Sword's, The Confederacy's Last Hurrah. I have never read it. In fact it is still in its plastic wrap. What to do now? Is there any reason to read it? Should I order Jacobson's book instead and throw Sword's in the trash? Are there any other books on the subject that you recommend reading on the subject? |

Izzy, By al means order Jacobson's. Then read them both. Examine the sources cited, and use your judgement to decide who if anyone is biased. That's the fun of studying. I've made my own decision which happens to coincide with SamHood's, but I would never make ir based on opinions on a discussion board. Besides, while I do disagree with Sword on Hood and a few other things, there's much to learn from his books as well. Always read with a skeptical eye and no preconceptions. Your judgement then will ususally be right. |

Geez. I don't know what to tell you to do with Sword's book. If you take what he says about Hood with a grain (or perhaps a block) of salt, it is a heart wrenching, poignant telling of a tragic event. But in addition to his factual errors, distortions and deceptions, Sword has so much useless melodrama in it, namely the JB Hood/Sally Preston and Patrick Cleburne/Susan Tarleton dramas, that it is hard for me to suggest anyone spend the time necessary to read 400 pages of cut-and-paste historiography. Jacobson's book is much better history...especially the analysis of the "Spring Hill Affair" and the deserved attention given to the performance of the tough-as-nails Union troops at Franklin. The only other book on the TN Campaign that I would suggest is Winston Groom's "Shrouds of Glory." Although Groom's book is a narrative (no footnotes) it is objective, thorough, and if the author has a personal opinion, he doesn't allow it to infect the quality of his work. |

I wince in anticipation of being lambasted for the following recommendation but here goes.... "Shrouds of Glory-From Atlanta to Nashville: the last Great Campaign of the Civil War" by Winston Groom Well written, with an easy to follow narrative, and reasonably balanced, this is a good starter volume for anyone interested in Hood's campaign in the west. I also own Sword's book and have always had misgivings about his obvious bias against Hood. |

Thanks for your opinions. I won't read Sword first. I'll start with either Jacobson or Groom or both. If I get into an indepth study of that campaign, then I might read Sword. I just don't want to read a book that has a definite slant to it first and get off kilter from the start. Thanks for the early warning. |

If Sword's books are nothing but cut and paste histiorography, then that means that authors before him were making the same accusations. Maybe instead of launching a marketing campaign against the most convenient target you could address the original sources which influenced Sword's opinion.

We obtained -- this copy the report by the West Point combating terrorism center.
About an hour ago we've been poring through it so far what we know is that there are seventeen documents and -- 175 pages of bin Laden's writings -- correspondence.
-- in Arabic he sees some of them there they -- date range in date from September of 06.
To April of 2011 -- just on the eve of the raid by the seals.
And what's key here in the letters is that you see that he was corresponding with really the who's who.
Of al-Qaeda outside of Pakistan he was talking to the American Adam -- -- he was also talking to leaders.
Of the al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia also the al-Qaeda affiliate in Yemen and also the head of the Pakistani Taliban.
So this really it really reinforces the reporting we've been doing here -- fox over the last year.
The bin Laden was isolated in the compound.
But he was really very much a micro manager trying to shore up these different affiliates -- just based on what -- -- -- bill it doesn't look like it there were released sacrificing any secrets in the sense.
That this has been pretty widely reported since the raid one of the main headlines was caught my attention this morning in the writings is that spot -- -- -- was extremely frustrated.
With the affiliates especially al-Qaeda in Iraq for a suicide bombing campaign that he killed so many innocent let's look so -- got a quote here from the letter.
In 2010 where bin Laden was really suggesting that al-Qaeda to turn the page reads in part.
I plan to release a statement announcing that we are starting a new -- to correct the mistakes we made.
In doing so we shall reclaim god willing the trust of a large segment of those who lost their trust.
In the -- -- The other bottom line so far.
Is this idea that there were different schools of thought on how bin Laden should really relate to these affiliates.
In Yemen Somalia North Africa.
Adam good -- Americans felt that the court leadership a key issue -- -- -- associate themselves from these groups.
Groups there's another school of thought that they should try and to build them leverage them -- two.
Broaden their base.
And bin Laden had at a different school of thought he felt that he would continue to advised them even though it -- that advice was falling on deaf ears it's fascinating stuff.

Worcester man can sue police - even from beyond the grave
1:38pm Thursday 12th September 2013 in News By James Connell
A CRITICALLY-ill cancer patient suing the police for wrongful arrest may not live to see the verdict.
But Keith Johnson aged 49, of Warndon, Worcester, wants justice, even from beyond the grave, after he was diagnosed with bowel cancer in July and given just two weeks to live.
He is seeking aggravated and exemplary damages for wrongful arrest and unlawful imprisonment from West Mercia Police after an incident in June 2010.
But he has already lost half his body weight as he battles the deadly disease and was granted permission to give his evidence early, ahead of a December hearing at Worcester Crown Court, as he fears he will not live long enough to present his case in person otherwise.
The father-of-four alleges he suffered a 14-hour ordeal after a Swift Azzura caravan he bought for £1,500 from Malvern Caravans in Powick, turned out to be stolen from an address in Birmingham.
Mr Johnson said of being able to present his evidence early: "I am so glad that the judges had compassion – this was an awful ordeal the police put me through. I suffer from asthma and was put in a van with no air-conditioning.
"The cancer hit me out of the blue and I went from 14 stone to 7st 3lbs, but I wanted to get justice before I died and that may now happen thanks to the judges in the case."
Despite showing police his receipt and calling the salesman who sold it, he was handcuffed, arrested and taken to Worcester Police Station.
From Worcester, he was taken to Smethwick by West Midlands Police, who investigated the original theft.
He claims he had to get a taxi 70 miles home after a seven-minute interview established he was not the thief and he was released without charge.
District judge Phillip Mackenzie ruled that Mr Johnson could give his evidence in advance and his case was heard by His Honour Judge Toby Hooper at Worcester County Court.
Mr Johnson's wife Liz, 40, said: "It's taken us to hell and back – firstly the police harassment and treatment of Keith on that day and then the cancer.
"It's terrible what they have put us through. It is an absolute nightmare."
His lawyer Nick Turner, of Russell and Co in Malvern, said: "I have never in my entire career dealt with a case as compelling as this, or as unusual."
The caravan was seized from an address in Gresham Road, Dines Green, in June 2010, which we reported in the Worcester News at the time.
Wayne Reeve, then aged 25, Mr Johnson's son-in-law, reacted when officers arrived to remove the caravan from his drive.
He was given a conditional discharge after he hit the caravan with plywood and threw a vacuum cleaner at it.
The Johnson family, which also has connections to Malvern, were served with an eviction notice from their then home in Elgar Avenue back in 2008 by Festival Housing Group over concerns about the family's anti-social behaviour.
West Mercia Police said: "It is not appropriate to comment at this stage of proceedings."
However, they are understood to be contesting Mr Johnson's claims.
