THE WORD CARRIER. NEW SERIES, VOL. IV. NO. I. Helping the Right, Exposing the Wrong. PUBLISHED FOR THE DAKOTA MISSION Santee Agency, Nebraska. JANUARY, 1887. Fifty Cents a Year. Our Platform. For Indians ave avant American Education! We want American Homes ! We want American Rights ! The result of avhich is American Citizenship. f|& Utaaji Cannrito IS PUBLISHED FOR fusing applications for land upon the Santee reservation, covered by Indian allotments. This settles the question as to these lands. It was hoped by many that the secretary would reverse the decision and allow entries upon the lands that had been set aside for Indians and their children.—Niobrara Axe. THE DAKOTA MISSION, in the interest of schools and mis-ions among the Indians, with special reference to the work of the Santee Normal Training School A. L_. RIGGS, EDITOB AND PUBLISHER, Saivtee Agency, Neb, Tebms- -One copy $ .50 Five copies 2.00 Ten copies 3.00 [Entered at the Sautee Agency Postoffice as second class matter.] President Cleveland renews his recommendation of last year for the creation of a permanent Indian Commission. Not to displace the Agencies already existing for the care of the Indians, but as an auxilliary to those already established. The Secretary of the Interior is giving up someAvhat his affection for the old reservation system and is more heartily in favor of bringing pressure to bear upon Indians to make them take up lands in severalty. Indian School Superintendent, Riley, recommends supplying libraries to the Government Boarding Schools and asks for an annual appropriation for at least $3,000.00 for that purpose. AVe hope he may get it, but Avhen he does Ave can assure him that he will have no more difficult work in his whole superintendency than the selection of those books. Many of the newspapers are remarking upon the trace of Indian blood alleged to be in Gen. Logan's family. It is a fact quite generally misunderstood that Indian blood is widely diffused, although in most localities very much modified. In some parts of Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Texas many of the wealthy and influential families not only bear strong marks of Indian pedigree, but take pride therein. It must be remembered, however, that the five civilized tribes of Indian Territory are so different in habits and characteristics from the uncivilized Indians as to be partically a distinct people, and that the better classes of the former can hardly be regarded as inferior to the Avhites of the surrounding states. The wife of the wealthiest citizen of Crawford county, Kan., is a daughter of one of the Indian tribes, and is the mother of an interesting family of Avell-edu- cated children. It may also be stated as a curious fact that the last surviving descendant of Isaac Brandt, the famous renegade in revolutionary days among the New York Indians, is the Avife of A. C. York, one of the Avealthiest citizens of Fort Scott, Kan., a brother of Dr. York whose murder by the Bender family led to the discovery of the horrible work of those miscreants and to their extermination.—Sioux City Journal. Report School The whole Indian people of this country are to be congratulated upon the re-election of the Hon. Henry L. Dawes, to the United States Senate. No people have ever had a more faithful advocate than he. His strength lies in the fact that is so thoroughly sincere. He is no partizan, but seeks j r\ent, says, to know what is right and best and then follows it unswervingly. It is his great honor that even his political opponents believe iu him and trust him. The next Government Educational move is to establish an immense Indian Boarding School in the neighborhood of the Great Sioux Reserve, to offset the two hundred and fifty day schools which should have been established under the treaty of 1868, and to eat up the accumulated two and a half million dollars. It will be easy enough to spend the money. It is another thing to bring the best results out of its expenditure. Secretary Lamar has affirmed j the action of the U. S. Land office in re el the Indiau Superintendent. In his report for 1886 to the Secretary of the Interior, John B. Riley, Indian School Superintendant, touches a very weak joint in the system of Indian School supersision wheu he says, "I found that the Indian School Superintendant, who is held in a great degree responsible for the successful operation of the Indian School system, possesses no authority to director control the operation of that system." J. H. Oberly, the preceding Superinten- The Indian School Superintendent does not possess official authority that enables him to efficiently control the Indian school system. He has no official powers. He is a superintendant Avho must superintend by indirection—by inducing another officer to act upon his suggestions and recommendations." Mr. Riley warmly endorses the I boarding schools as the true educators of Indian youth, and says, "The extra i expense attendant thereon is more than compensated by the thoroughness of the work." He gives his testimony in favor of professional training for Indians, particularly for the medical profession as follows: "Indian physicians trained in our medical colleges might render valuable service for their race in destroying the influence of the 'medicine men,' and in giving instruction in hygenie laws. Such physicians would possess greater influence with them than those now performing this service at the various agencies, under government appointment. Indian youths Avho haA-e acquired such an education as Avill enable them to intelligently pursue the study of medicine, should be encouraged to enter the field and government aid should be afforded them." Of the capabilities of the Indian, he says, " That the Indian may be civilized and made a self-supporting, I intelligent citizen, has been fully I demonstrated, although many, unac- j quainted Avith the rapid advancement made by every tribe that has been afforded an opportunity to learn the Avays of self-support, still look upon him as an untamable savage or regard his civilization as a remote possibility. The story of hundreds of years of oppression and wrong, handed doAvn from generation to generation, has rendered it difficult for them to believe that the government is actuated by disinterested motives in the beneA'olent efforts noAV being made in their behalf. (Heaven save the mark! It will take many hundreds of years of such "benevolent efforts" as are put forth by government to lead the Indian to believe in " disinterested motives," as Mr. Riley's own testimony proves.—Ed. ) In conclusion he says, "Nearly three times as much money is now annually spent by the Avar department in keeping the Indians in subjection as is expended in their civilization and education. It is not creditable to us as a nation that so much should be used to keep the Indian in subjection, while so little is used to improAre his condition." Rev. John P. AVilliamson, on the adAdce of his physicians, has gone to spend the remainder of the winter and the spring in Florida. Mrs. Williamson accompanies him. AVe trust he will have the courage to stay away long enough to regain his full strength and old-time health. In his absence, A. L. Riggs edits the Iapi Oaye for him. How We Raised the Oebt. Mother was east and father had gone to the association at Plankinton; only Tante was left to keep us straight. AVe had run through the list and done most everything except going swimming and the pilloAv fight. There were several raw September days to be disposed of. Putting the play-room to rights, one day, our throats just ached for chocolate creams. We would make Tante pay so much a sight of the play-room in apple pie order. Tante wouldn't be taxed, but would like some jumping jacks and nuns for her Oahe girls, and Ave could come by our chocolate creams quite honestly. 'Twould be hard to tell Iioav it came about, for one said one thing and one another until out of all the Babel and confusion we decided on a fair—a real missionary fair. Hoav our tongues wagged, while our fiugers flew! Hoav the jumping jacks multiplied and the sedate little nuns came trooping forth, each with prayer book and rosary, after Avhole families of pert looking acorn dolls! As by magic the bright paper bits grew into kites, mats and book markers; and pen wipers and pin cushions—how could Ave have a fair Avithout them? The clay came at last. AVe had from Thursday evening until the next Monday afternoon. (AVhat a trying day Sunday Avas. Do you think it was very, very wicked counting our jacks and nuns, and seeing Iioav much they Avould bring?) The dining-room table mamma let us have, and • a string running across the room, made a splendid trapeze Avhere the nuns flirted and danced Avith their jacks, the tea kettles bubbled, and the acorn baskets turned somersaults; oh! 'twas just shocking! And the acorn dolls that kept Avatch over the fancy articles didn't behave a bit better; they bowed and courtesied until their heads bobbed off. Even the brave potato man, who was marshal of the day, could scarcely sit still on his potato horse. Perhaps they felt good because they were going to raise the A. M. A. debt. And it was just as Mabel and Olive had said. Miss Haynes did buy a jack and Miss Leonard a nun, and Miss llsley and Miss Pratt both took dolls. Then those who had jacks wanted nuns, and those who had nuns must have jacks, and no one could resist the acorn dolls—their heads rolled off so easily. Our button-hole bouquets, too, were just one cent, and little Ruthie Chadbourne's papa and mamma thought missionary candy very good for her, so they bought ever so many little scallop shells full, at five cents apiece. Miss Hunter, of Greenwood, was here, and had to buy out of politeness; and when it was all over, mamma bought us out; that Avas, we are quite sure, out of kintliiess. AVe had forgotten to say that father and mother had come home. They had to come to help buy the things, you see. Now that it is over, all want you should knoAV what a happy time we had, and send you our pennies to raise the debt Avith.

Goodbye my friends...
It has been a really emotional day for all on the Summer Camp team. We have all had such an amazing time and feel so privileged to be a part of it. I know that we have all taken something personal from this time with the kids and have truly been overwhelmed by the love they have for us.
We spent the last morning on the beach, making sure we spent as much time ...
The sun strike is over
... got to spend more time with the kids one to one. Their love for us is still overwhelming.
We are also really excited to be joined by Hannah from York St John University. She will be with us for the rest of the week. We are sure she will bring loads of enthusiasm and inject some much needed energy into the team.
The SC team are beginning to flag a little as tiredness begins to set in, both emotionally ...
It's batten down the hatches tonight!
First came news that it's going to rain for the next three days! Then as the day progressed the skies steadily became darker and the gales began. We had a slightly embarrassing moment or two when the gale force winds blew our washing, including bikinis and underwear, off our balcony to the ground/trees four floors down! Never fear, they were quickly rescued but possibly without our dignity intact!
We had a brilliant ...
Hot, hot, hot
Not much more to add really. It seems to be getting hotter everyday. Even the Bulgarians are finding it hot so it's not just us pasty Brits!
We had another great morning on the beach despite the intensive heat. A lot of the kids came prepared for the waves today, sporting swimming caps and goggles. The excitement of the sea just doesn't grow old with them. It is still amazing to hear their shrieks of excitement as they attempt (often with the help of the SC team) ...

Very Big Update (VBU): Q+A
We've tried to include all of the questions asked, though some have been removed as we had a few double-ups, some were too ambiguous, and some simply cannot be answered at this stage.
I am hopeful that a generous bilingual player will give up some of their time and translate the following interview into German. The second post in this thread will be reserved for such a translation. A big thank you to Djironnyma for helping out with all of the required translations up to this point. And a thank you in advance to whoever takes on this task.
VBU: Q+A with the Developers
"What are the System/Hardware/Connection requirements for the VBU Client?"
The system requirements of the new client will be comparable to the current one. Depending on the resolution you expect the client to run at, the requirements may be higher or lower than the requirements of the current client. The new client should run on low spec netbooks, however, for convenient performance, a graphics driver with dedicated memory and OpenGL support is recommended. A 700MHz CPU will not result in a lot of fun with the client. 1.5GHz are recommended at least.
The new client will require Java 1.6, the older 1.5 version will no longer work. This also kills the support for Windows 98, Windows ME and MacOS X 10.4 Tiger. Solaris is now supported as 32 and 64 bit. 32MB memory is not enough any more due the massive increase of graphic resources. 64MB is a minimum, and it's okay if part of that memory is shared.
"It is common knowledge that it is actually too easy to get money and the most items by the loot of monsters. It is said that it will be harder with the VBU (especially because you can't beat the monsters with good loot alone anymore, even as a master-powergamer). So far so good, but it was also said that there will be no item-wipe. Wouldn't that be unfair for new players who start playing after the VBU? If it becomes harder with the VBU to get money and good items that would mean older players have an enormous amount of treasure in their depot."
Some items will necessarily be deleted for technical reasons after the VBU, though it is not known precisely which yet. The economy has been modified such that there is always something to spend your money on. While older players will have their treasure still there, they will find new ways of spending it. There will also be ways for newbies to get money without needing other players, so nobody is going to lose. It should not take too long for the economy to balance out.
"Will you start at zero with Illarion? Will old players lose their items and characters and have to make new ones?"
There is no wipe of characters or items planned. Certain items will have to be removed as stated above though.
"Will players still have the ability to mould the world of illarion?"
Absolutely. In fact, in some regards players will have even more ability than before. Post-VBU, the world of Illarion will be significantly more dynamic and responsive to the decisions and actions of its inhabitants. Your choices will actually mean something. First and foremost, Illarion is a roleplaying game. We recognise that the ability for players to influence the gameworld is vital for such a game to be successful.
"Will Illarion be an interactive/living game? Will the world be in constant change concerning monsters, towns etc.?"
We hope so! We've done our best to make the world of Illarion as interesting as possible, and with the GMs returning to the game in a more active capacity post-VBU, we are confident that the game will seem far more lively than it currently does. But at the end of the day it is you, the players, who breathe the life into Illarion. The greatest interactions will always come from your fellow players and the world will never stop changing as long as you are all there to inhabit it.
"Will there be llamas with the VBU?"
Yes, we couldn't get rid of him...er...you...
Will there be a backgroundstory, that is improved and connected directly to the game?
Yes. Every new dungeon, site and location has its own history which can be discovered in some way inside the game.
"Is there any reasonable solution for the fairy chars (and the other special races) yet?
And I don't mean transferring their skills, I really could not care less about the skills or items of my fairy. This is about the rp. Will they just die, or have to go to the mainland, or is there any chance we might keep them, via a quest or something?"
The amount of players of fairy (and gnome and goblin) characters was deemed far too low to warrant the large amount of effort required to get them graphics. Thus, the only reasonable solution was removing these races from the game. As to the roleplay reason for their disappearance, that is entirely up to each individual player. They may be killed off, or find safety somewhere on the mainland. Considering that it seems there are currently no characters of any of these races active in the game (and have not been for quite some time), we do not predict there will be any noticeable disruption in Illarion's roleplay.
"Will mules still exist?"
The mule system will most likely not be in place at the time of release.
Llamas have priority. Then mules.
"How does it work when we first go to log in after the VBU? Will we have the option to just choose what our character looks like once we're in?"
We'll implement a convenient solution. The VBU is not completed yet (otherwise, we could release tomorrow!) and this aspect is still a 'work in progress'.
"Concerning items in depots or mules, do we have to do anything to secure our items so we won't lose them during the update, like storing everything at a special place? Or will nothing change in this regard?"
Like the previous question, we simply aren't in a position to answer this one yet. Should anything like this happen, we will be giving everyone enough notice so that you can take the appropriate actions.
"Will all non-GM tool items be accessible to players to some degree (craftable or obtainable by quest or monster drop)?"
Aren't they already? Yes, they are (and will be). There will also be quite a number of things for sale, and there are obviously new items to create or find.
"Will the ground wiping system change any?"
"Will there be a sort of 'community trash can' where we can drop things we don't want instead of leaving them on the ground to 'blow away'?"
No. Though, as with any ideas, you are welcome to properly detail a proposal and submit it through Mantis.
"Also, will there be an OOC channel, where we will NOT be reprimanded or "kakked on" for talking oocly? We need one.
No, IRC does not count."
No. We don't see the need for such a feature. People play Illarion because they want to roleplay. An OOC channel would simply distract from this. The current double bracket system is sufficient for the few occasions when OOC talk is needed in Illarion. By all means, make friends amongst the community with the people behind the characters, but do so outside of the game client. Our IRC channel and your own instant-messenger programs are more than adequate for such purposes.
The Map
"Will the map be the same?"
No. There will be many new dungeons and areas to explore. We have also attempted to make every piece of land have something interesting in it. There will be no more trekking through the forest looking at nothing but trees.
"Will it be possible for more people to own homes and to furnish them more individually? Like with more variety perhaps?"
The housing 'system' (if you can even call it that) has not received any major attention with the VBU. The most significant changes will most likely be in the form of rule alterations. The availability of housing post-VBU will be similar to its current levels. Unfortunately, there will not be any new advanced IG system with which to customise or furnish buildings; that will remain the domain of our mappers.
"It's known that the map will change, mostly there come new dungeons but also the island will be changed. Will there be changes to the settlements and if yes, will these changes come in cooperation with the PO of the governments of the settlements? Will private owned houses of chars stay unchanged?"
There will be changes made to the settlements and to private houses. It was deemed most important that our mappers be given the freedom that they required to improve the map. They created many new interesting sites and dungeons and we look forward to presenting you these new features. Any discontinuities will be given roleplaying reasons. Everyone, including the POs of faction leaders, was welcome to join the VBU team to plot the future of Illarion.
"Will "evil villains" be special chars, for which there is an application needed? Will there be special races in general?"
There is nothing like this planned. The players of Illarion will retain their freedom to shape their characters as they wish. The 'special' races have been removed.
"Will religion change / will polytheisms end?"
There is no plan to change the religion with the VBU.
"Will the towns become nicer?"
Very much indeed. Our graphics artists have created a number of beautiful new walls and decorations, and our mappers have worked hard to make the towns even better.
"Will there be changes to the lighting system?"
"Will any magic graphics change?"
"Will male and female lizards still look the same?"
Yes. You'd think you guys would have taken a hint by now.
"will female vampires and the drow matriarch have (as requested) Epic Jumblies? you know so we are dead certain it IS female.. or at least impersonating a female"
We implemented tobacco as an alternative.
"Will there be tobacco?"
Yes. Time to put that meme to rest don't you think?
"Can we see some monster graphics?"
Hopefully. Keep an eye on the forums for a future information release.
"Can we see a few weapons and items graphics?"
Hopefully. Keep an eye on the forums for a future information release.
Skills & Attributes
"What changes will there be to the current systems like druid and crafting and will there be any new items for those?"
The crafting system has been heavily reworked. Druidism has also received some changes. Both will become more intuitive and enjoyable. As they are still receiving alterations, we will not go into specifics. There will be a few new items related to both systems.
"How dramatically will the effects of attributes be changed? Will previously renowned fighters/mages/crafters become obsolete?"
The changes will not be too dramatic, but will be enough to be noticeable. However, a good mage will remain a good mage and a good fighter a good fighter.
"Will there be stat requirements for alchemy?"
Yes, though it is unclear what they will be. Anyone who currently has the alchemy skill will retain it post-VBU, whether or not they meet the alchemy requirements.
"Will basic information about the systems such as attributes required to perform certain roles, remain a hidden aspect from players?"
No. We plan to provide a convenient guide to attributes sometime shortly after release of the VBU.
"Will the crafting system change? Will my smith be able to create magic weapons now?"
Crafting will remain mostly the same, however the materials used will be more logical, skill increase will be more rewarding and it won't take half a mine to create a suit of armour. Yes, magic weapons will be possible to make, however they will require rare materials which you will have to work hard for.
"Will there be changes to the alchemy system?"
Yes. All changes aim at enhancing the convenience of alchemy. Various bugs with the system will also be fixed.
"Will there be more freedom in character creation, such that characters with prior knowledge/skills can be made? This is in addition to a system like the current, where all new characters know nothing and have zero experience doing anything, according to the game engine."
No. Even though the VBU will pose a serious update to the game, we did not abandon the fundamentals of Illarion.
"How will the skill system be changed?"
The fundamentals will not change. However, the mental capacity system won't be annoying you any more and skill gain will be much more fair and enjoyable for everyone. Time spent online will matter more than the pure number of (mindless) clicks.
Combat & Magic
"Will the VBU include any changes to the Magic System or at least to the system of teaching magic?"
While this was the intention, we didn't have the sufficient time or support necessary to perform these changes. In a post-VBU update we will see modifications to the system. On the other hand, Druid Magic has received some attention.
"Will any priest magic or bard magic systems come with the VBU?"
No. Priest Magic was put on hold for the VBU and Bard Magic is, at this time, still unplanned.
"Will there be different kinds/classes of mages/magic? Will all classes have different kinds? (like Warrior -> Barbarian, Swordfighter,... ; Druid-> Witch, alchemist,...)"
A better magic system is planned after the VBU. But until then there won't be any such changes.
Despite the major changes that are coming, Illarion will not be stepping away from its defining traits. One of these is Illarion's lack of classes. We will never pigeonhole characters into specific groups in such a manner. Any notion of labelling a character, say, a druid, witch, or an alchemist is done purely from a roleplay perspective.
"Will there be any new NPC monsters?"
How do Bone Dragons sound? They'll bring some friends, too. The current ones have also been made more interesting too...
"Will the bow damage and actions be updated with the paper dolling?"
Yes. Projectile weaponry will receive a much-needed revamp. In fact, the entire fighting system was reworked and will offer you many more tactical and strategic options, leading to a more enjoyable experience overall.
"Will monster drops and drop rates finally become equivalent in their Risk vs Reward?"
Yes. As NPC monsters and the fighting system received changes, consequently, the monster drops were redone as well. However, keep in mind that "risk vs. reward" means that, in future, an awesome reward will require you to take a serious risk. For the largest rewards, don't expect to be able to go alone and camp the spawn site. Working with a party of characters will be much more necessary and more rewarding than it is at the moment.
"Will the balance between different character-classes improve?"
Yes. The balance between different fighting styles has been improved. Illarion will, of course, remain a "class free" game.
"Will the fighting system become more realistic? I.e. A group of weaker characters can defeat a single much more powerful character. Fighter wise at least."
More realistic, no. But it will be more enjoyable. Certain weapons will be more effective against certain armours however, so it will be possible to defeat a more powerful character by employing proper planning and good tactics.
Illarion Development
"Is there any time left that the players can help with the VBU, if so how?"
Definitely. If you want to help out, simply contact a developer. NPC scripting and book writing are two very easy ways to benefit the game. Both can be picked up in about ten minutes. Book writing requires no programming skill whatsoever. We're also always looking for talented scripters (Lua), Developers (Java/C++) and people with an aptitude for creating graphics.
"Will there be an active part used towards promotion and advertisement of Illarion as a game as currently there is very little ways to draw new players in."
Do it. There is nothing stopping anyone from getting out there, promoting and spreading word of Illarion. Is there anything currently planned from our end? No. We simply don't have the resources to be spreading our focus so broadly.
"Currently there are almost no quests IG. It is said this is because all GMs are working for the VBU. But if they work for the VBU they are DEVs and if they are DEVs, don't we need new GMs? Is there a lack of proper candidates or what is the reason we are getting none? Especially if we get more players after the VBU, I think we need more GMs, even if those who are currently working for the VBU then work as a GM again."
There will be automated quests involving NPCs (including some very interesting ones which you can redo...) with the VBU, so there will always be something to do IG. Post-VBU, the number of GM-organised quests, events and interactions will increase significantly. The current GMs who are assisting with the development of the VBU have certainly not abandoned nor lost their posts as gamemasters, and will be resuming their duties with the release of the update. New GMs will be recruited if and when needed, as has always been our policy.
"Will there be active balancing and bug of imbalanced or overpowering aspects of the game? (i.e. no more glitch serinjah sword items left to sit for years though the fix is very simple to make)"
Yes. Small, incremental updates will be used to solve issues of imbalance and to fix bugs.
"How will updates be handled for future content?"
Future updates will take the form of both significant content packages, and incremental bugfixes and improvements.
And of course...
"When will be the release of the VBU?"
When it's done (R). Soon (R). Help out and it'll be done faster (TM)
Thank you all once again. Hopefully we will be able to provide some further updates on the progress of the VBU soon. Stay tuned.
As always, the VBU team would certainly welcome a fresh set of hands (yours). Helping out is as easy as writing a story or coming up with a few lines of dialogue. Everyone does that each time they log into Illarion, so you can't say that it's too difficult. Contact a developer if you want to help out.

The co-winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics said Tuesday his interest in science was nurtured a half-century ago at Encina High School.
David Wineland, a 1961 graduate, said he was not the best student at Encina. It was at the Arden Arcade school, however, where he first excelled in physics.
"There was a physics class that I took in my senior year and I thought, 'This is pretty cool,' " said Wineland during a conference call Tuesday with reporters from around the world.
Wineland learned at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday with a phone call to his home in Boulder, Colo., that he shared this year's prize for physics with Serge Haroche of France.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said that the men independently invented and developed methods for measuring and manipulating individual particles while preserving their "quantum-mechanical nature in ways that were previously thought unattainable."
Their research has led to the building of extremely precise clocks and helped scientists make gains in constructing super-fast computers.
After high school, Wineland started his college career at UC Berkeley as a math major, but soon after, he switched to physics.
"I must say that the high school class really got me interested and here I am," Wineland said.
Wineland, born in Wauwatosa, Wis., near Milwaukee, lived briefly with his family in Denver before moving to Sacramento when he was 3 years old.
Wineland has worked at the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology in Colorado for 37 years.
He conducted experiments on the use of lasers to cool ions to near absolute zero, leading to the development of laser-cooled atomic clocks and advances in experimental quantum computing, according to the NIST.
That type of computing uses the rules of quantum physics to potentially solve problems such as breaking the best data encryption codes, which are "intractable" using today's technology, said the NIST.
"We are certainly proud to have him as a graduate," said Encina Principal Will Jarrell. "I hope that he inspires our kids to continue their goals, whatever they may be."
Encina's 1961 yearbook notes that Wineland's high school life included golf, cross country and the California Scholarship Federation.
Does Wineland have any advice for Encina students?
"Find something you like and keep going," the 68-year-old scientist said. "In my case, I guess I was a pretty straight arrow in that I got on the physics pretty early and still like it. "That does not mean you can't switch your interest and still be successful. But I think it is important to take an interest and go for it. It takes a lot of hard work, but that's the way to success."

Mark Miller isn't a subtle guy.
Miller, treasurer of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), recently apologized publicly after using the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to tweet a comment comparing the attacks to a political battle about the planned Cincinnati streetcar system.
Now Miller has posted an altered photograph on his Facebook page that some people believe is racist. The photo depicts a streetcar filled with young African-American males brandishing weapons. The streetcar has a sign that reads, "Banks & Freedom Center Only."
It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
Based on the latest comments on his Facebook page, it appears Christopher Smitherman either doesn't understand the wording of Issue 48 or is deliberately trying to mislead voters.
On Wednesday, Smitherman wrote on his Facebook page: "Remember Issue 48 DOES not STOP light rail but it does force City Council to ask the citizens (sic) permission before spending $144 million. City Council does not want to ask the people (for) permission."
As several legal experts have agreed, Issue 48's net effect will be to stop the planning and construction of any type of passenger rail project within Cincinnati city limits until Dec. 31, 2020 — even if the project is privately financed.
A series of contradictory tweets and blog comments posted by members of an anti-transit group has observers wondering of there is dissension in its ranks — or whether one member simply has anger management issues.
Ever since an initiative put on the Nov. 8 ballot by the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was rejected by voters, someone with the group has vowed on various local blogs that it still would try to block Cincinnati's streetcar project.
A prominent, nonpartisan group today announced its opposition to Issue 48, the proposed amendment to Cincinnati's charter that would block the creation of a streetcar system for at least a decade.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area issued a press release today stating it opposes the amendment because the wording is so broadly written that it would prevent the development of any passenger rail system including light rail or commuter rail.
During the past two weeks CityBeat has published its list of endorsements in the race for Cincinnati City Council,along with those on local and state issues.
Some readers have requested that the endorsements be put into a smaller format that will be simpler to print out and take along with them to their polling places on Tuesday.
So, here it is. Clip, save and enjoy.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "Do you support or oppose the city's streetcar system as currently planned and financed?"
A proposal made today by a Hamilton County commissioner involving sewer work related to the city of Cincinnati's planned streetcar system won't harm or delay the project, city staffers said.
That's because the motion introduced by County Commissioner Chris Monzel, a streetcar foe, would only affect additional improvements sought by the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), said Chris Eilerman, the city's streetcar project manager. The city already has allocated $3 million of its own money to relocate manholes needed for the streetcar project and do some of MSD's other improvements.
The City of Cincinnati today released the final draft for its plan to "re-establish (Cincinnati) as a model of a thriving urban city." Plan Cincinnati, which will be taken up in a public hearing on Aug. 30 at 6 p.m., is the first master plan for Cincinnati since 1980.
The primary goal behind the plan is to transition the city away from a model that emphasizes suburban living back to a more urban model. The plan's report justifies the shift by attributing it to a new societal need.
"Dissatisfied, American society is now beginning to reverse the trend (of suburban living) with the hope of returning to an environment that is more economically and environmentally sustainable, less dependent on the automobile, closer in scale to human form, and ultimately, truly more livable," the report says.
The plan will make this transition with six guiding principles: Provide more transportation choices, promote equitable, affordable housing, enhance economic competitiveness, support existing communities, coordinate and leverage federal policies and investment, and value communities and neighborhoods.
The vague principles are outlined in greater detail in the 228-page report, which can be read in full here.
One of the key parts of the plan is its expansion of options for non-automotive travel. The plan promises to focus more work on bicycle paths, support a Bicycle and Pedestrian Program and build links between bicycle systems to allow more cycling through the city. The city will also "design and construct the Ohio River Bike Trail through Cincinnati" and make the city safer for cyclists by making roads smoother and cleaner.
The plan also encourages other transportation programs. Establishing better coordination with Metro buses, building intercity rail systems and integrating the new streetcar into a greater transportation model are a few of the many suggestions in the plan. With these systems, the plan hopes to "facilitate economic development opportunities."
Beyond transportation, the plan also seeks to establish environmentally friendly programs. Some of the suggestions are developing a green construction incentive program, implementing smart grid networks and reforming the LEED tax abatement program to include additional energy efficient rating systems.
However, the plan is missing one important detail: cost. The report says Plan Cincinnati will be reviewed every year using the new Priority-Driven Budgeting process, but no estimates for cost are currently available. Katherine Keough-Jurs, senior city planner, explained why in an email: "That is not something that we provide. We have found over the years that providing cost estimates in long-range plans is problematic and the estimates can be misleading. Also, some of the Action Steps listed are not necessarily things that would have a monetary cost associated."
The person who often ranks in polls as the most popular politician in Hamilton County is breaking with his Republican colleagues and is appearing in a new radio commercial urging a "no" vote on Issue 48.
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. asks residents to oppose the anti-streetcar initiative that was placed on the ballot by the NAACP's local chapter and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). The commercial will begin airing Wednesday during the morning drive time period on WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM), two stations with predominately conservative, Republican audiences.

Friends, just when you think you've heard it all.
BTW, I am bracing myself for the post where someone compares this to Orson using François Reichenbach's footage in "F For Fake."
Champaign, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/28/2012 -- Dark Maze Studios has just debuted its new ten-part comedy web series "Ninja the Mission Force" on the show's website, http://www.ninjathemissionforce.com.
Starring Ed Glaser and Brad Jones ("The Cinema Snob"), the weekly series follows Interpol agent (and sometimes ninja) Gordon in a race against a rival ninja to collect six sacred ninja rubber ducks, which together contain unlimited power.
Following the format of outrageous 1980s cut-and-paste action movies from notorious Hong Kong filmmakers Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai, "Ninja the Mission Force" combines original ninja footage with re-dubbed public domain movie footage into one continuous storyline.
"This was a dream project for me," explains Ed Glaser, who also produces the series. "The cut-and-paste films of Ho and Lai are just wonderfully bizarre and over-the-top, and this is an opportunity to take the ball and go even further. Thanks to writer Meagan Rachelle we have a tremendously absurd series that features John Travolta, gladiator midgets, and a camouflage ninja in space."
The series also stars Ernest Borgnine and Sonny Chiba -- in addition to the late Charles Bronson, Brandon Lee, and Orson Welles -- all courtesy of archive footage.
New episodes premiere every Thursday. The series, trailers, photo gallery, and additional information are available at http://www.ninjathemissionforce.com

Risks of Multiple Pregnancy
Topic Overview
There are pregnancy problems that can be more likely with a multiple pregnancy.
Risks of multiple pregnancy may include:
- Reference Miscarriage Opens New Window of one or more babies (fetuses).
- Reference Gestational diabetes Opens New Window.
- High blood pressure and Reference preeclampsia Opens New Window.
- Reference Anemia Opens New Window.
- Increased chance of Reference cesarean delivery Opens New Window.
- Increased chance of giving birth before 37 weeks (preterm birth), which poses greater risks of illness, disability, and death. For more information, see the topics Preterm Labor and Premature Infant.
- Having a baby born with a birth defect that occurs when something is wrong with the genes or chromosomes. Certain genetic disorders may be more likely to occur in multiple pregnancies.
Multiple pregnancies conceived by the use of Reference assisted reproductive technology (ART) Opens New Window may have a greater risk of certain pregnancy problems.Reference 1 Talk to your doctor about the risks related to your treatment.
Your chances of having a multiple pregnancy
In the general population, less than 3 out of 100 births involve twins, triplets, or more.Reference 1 Your chances of conceiving a multiple pregnancy increase when you use fertility drugs and Reference assisted reproductive technology (ART) Opens New Window.
Currently, about 20 out of 100 multiple pregnancies occur naturally, while the other 80 out of 100 are the result of using fertility drugs or assisted reproductive technology.Reference 2 The majority of these pregnancies are twins, but there are also more triplets (or more) than in the general population.
When assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as IVF, is used, the risk of conceiving a multiple pregnancy is directly related to the number of embryos transferred to a woman's uterus. Because of the risks of multiple pregnancy to the babies, experts recommend limiting the number of embryos transferred.

text: As a victim of Domestic Violence, in the state of Louisana,specifically St. Mary Parish, I wonder had this woman ever "cried out" and said I am being "hurt"? My guess would be a resounding yes! The common census in LA is that a woman is "crazy",which she is not, in most cases. Men hurt women in the state of Louisiana more that any other state of our great nation. My experience has been through the courts that pronouce judgment. Judge Stansbury,a city court judge, in Morgan City,La, pronounces judgement on his own personal beliefs. I have stood in his court, more than once, and I know he will always take a stand for the man in this issue. As a woman and survior of DV, I am happy to say, that what a judge judges, is not what it really is. My life continues on today, without a man's hand that bruises my face, breaks my ear drums, and/or hurts any other part of my body. That is what is a survivor is about.. Carrying On!

Morrison shortstop realizes D-I dream
Finneran signs with Drake
After looking forward to this for several years, what was a few more months to Kaitlyn Finneran?
The standout shortstop for the Morrison Fillies knew from the time she was 8 years old she wanted to play Division I softball. She's known for nearly as long that Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, was a place that she'd love to attend college.
On Friday, Finneran put her two longtime wishes together. After making a verbal commitment to the Bulldogs last February, the Morrison senior officially signed her name on the dotted line of a National Letter of Intent in a ceremony in the school auditorium.

Three Grass Fires Across Area
By: Laura Kellerman
Updated: February 24, 2009
Bulldozers traveled up and down FM 603, working to create a stop line around the fire. Two large helicopters are dropping water on the flames, refilling, and heading back to continue fighting the fire.
Structures are threatened, according to Marq Webb, spokesman for the Texas Forest Service. There was no estimate as to how large the fire was as of 5:10 p.m. One witness reported the fire reached her mother-in-law's house. That has not been confirmed.
As of 1:40 p.m. today, a fire near the ridge above Mulberry Canyon had burned about 40 acres of land in far west Taylor County. The flames are fueled by winds, dry air, and heavy juniper brush. Four volunteer fire departments are fighting the blaze with the Texas Forest Service, using bulldozers.
Another fire five miles northeast of Ballinger is said to be threatening one structure, and a helicopter is working to battle those flames, as well.
These pictures were taken by KTAB viewer John Caraway from Clyde.

TECH TIME AUTO REVIEW: Honda's Insight, Civic hybrids are solid offerings in a competitive market
Hybrids continue to grow in popularity as a vehicle choice for many consumers, and are offered by pretty much all of the major automakers at this point.
But not all hybrids are created equal, and my latest stop on my tour of the industry's hybrid offerings is Honda. I recently tested both a 2012 Honda Insight hybrid and a 2012 Civic hybrid, and I'll let you know how my experience went and the Honda hybrid offerings stack up to the competition.
Before I get into details on the cars I tested, let's get the basics out of the way. All of the Honda hybrid offerings operating under the system called IMA (or Integrated Motor Assist).
Chris Naughton, Honda public relations, explained it as follows: "Directly connected to the end of the crank shaft, instead of a flywheel, there is a thin motor mounted to the end of the crank shaft. From one side to the next you have a four-cylinder engine, a thin electric motor, and the transmission"
Your initial movement from a stop will be propelled by the gas engine. But when you accelerate, the electric motor pitches in to give you additional power.
If you are maintaining speed — in cruise control especially — and have a light load, the electric motor can do the work alone. If you are speeding up and hitting the gas, the gas engine is working. If you're climbing a hit or driving aggressively or having a heavy load, it's gas.
As you slow down, regenerative braking sends energy to the battery that powers the electric motor (there's even simple images in the car's menu system that show you what's going on in the car's systems at any given time. These images can help you determine what driving behaviors are getting you better gas mileage).
The end result of having a hybrid vehicle is better gas mileage and less trips to the pump. The Insight I drove claims an average of 42 mpg, and the Civic is listed at 44 mpg. Continued...
My numbers were a little bit lower than that, but of course with hybrids it all depends on how you drive.
Honestly, I found it kind of fun trying to do whatever I could to make the average mpg climb as I drove (slowing down ahead of red lights if possible, or using the brake only lightly, for example).
If you do it well enough, your miles to empty number is barely dented after a drive due to the improvement in mpg.
Compared to the market, these aren't the absolute best numbers (Prius is about 50, for example), but it's definitely nothing to sneeze at. In the Insight, you can go up to about 450 miles on a tank, and the Civic can top 550 if you drive it properly.
The Insight is more of an entry level hybrid from Honda, while the Civic is more of a premium offering.
For the Insight, you get 98 horsepower (combined gas/electric) for the powertrain, and torque is 123 foot pounds. Of this, the electric motor contributes 13 horsepower and 58 foot pounds of torque.
On the Civic, you move up to 110 horsepower combined gas/electric, and 127 foot pounds of torque. The electric motor contributes 23 of the 110 horsepower, and you're up to 78 foot pounds of torque from the electric motor.
You can tell the difference in the two. With the Insight, the lack of power was more noticeable when trying to get up to speed, but the boost in numbers on the Civic made it seem much less resistant to going fast quickly.
Naughton said that the numbers don't always tell the whole story, either. Continued...
"Electric motors are very good at torque," he said. "It makes the powertrain feel like a much larger motor since there's such a large quantity of torque down low."
Other than occasionally on the Insight, I didn't have any major problems with these horsepower levels, but if you're looking for extreme power, hybrids in general aren't going to be your bag. They're more focused on fuel mileage and not power.
Also, the size of the engine is slightly larger on the Civic (1.5 liter) vs. the 1.3 liter engine on the Insight.
A/C and heat in idle stop in Civic
One feature that's on the Civic and not on the Insight is the ability to have air conditioning or heat function when you come to a stop. In both cars, the vehicle's gas motor automatically shuts down when you're in what is called "idle stop" position, like at a red light. In the Civic, there is a dual mode AC compressor can operate even in idle stop, off the electric motor.
"When idle stop is engaged, Civic hybrid will continue to have A/C that is electrically powered because the hybrid dual-scroll AC compressor can be electrically powered," Naughton said, adding that the fan to blow heat would function from the electric motor too.
Insight vs. Civic
To put things in perspective, the Insight is more of what I would call a single person's car, or a go-to-work car, while the Civic hybrid, while not huge, could function as the vehicle for a small family.
I, for example, could get by with the Civic and still have plenty of room for my wife and daughter and some storage space, but I personally would avoid the Insight, even though it's less expensive, due to lack of space.
Naughton said the Civic hybrid is meant to be a more luxurious hybrid offering from Honda — offering a quieter ride, more space and an option for leather seats. Continued...
Honda's hybrid history
While they're not the first name everyone things of when you're talking hybrids, they're far from new to this game. The 1999 Insight hybrid was actually the first hybrid sold in the United States (at the time it was a 2-seater, with a 1.0 liter engine).
The current hybrid options from Honda are the Insight, the Civic (introduced in 2003), and a CRZ two-seater with an option for a 6-speed manual transmission. Acura, Honda's luxury line, also just released its first hybrid – the Acura ILX.
ECON button
So let's say you really, really want to get the fuel mileage boosted to its top level.
Well, there's a button for that — the ECON button. This little feature adjusts how the vehicle operates. For example it can modify throttle control, idle stop duration, and makes A/C and cruise control minimize energy and use maximize fuel efficiency (Cruise will less aggressively maintain speed, for example).
There's even an ECO assist rating that pops up on your information screens that will give you a rating of how fuel efficient your driving was for the current trip. If you do well, then you can remember how you drove and repeat that style.
And in one other nice touch, the area surrounding the speedometer will turn green if you're driving efficiently and will turn blue if you are not, offering you visual clues that don't require you to look away from the road ahead.
The battery in a Honda hybrid is meant to last the life of the vehicle, and it's also covered under warranty.
One distinction is that the Civic features a Lithium Ion battery, but the Insight has a nickel metal hydride battery.
"Lithium-ion batteries are able to provide more power and capability while being lighter in weight and smaller," Naughton said, explaining the difference. "It's a more efficient technology."
The Civic battery stores up to 144 volts of electrical energy, he said. The new lithium-ion battery has twice the energy density and four times the output density of the previous nickel metal hydride batteries.
Output is increased by 33 percent; volume reduced by 36 percent and weight drops by 29 percent.
In short, with the Li-ion batteries the electric component of the vehicle can be a larger part of powertrain performance and pay a greater role in improving efficiency.
For the Insight, it's all about price – specifically it's among the most affordable hybrids on the market. Starting price is $18,500, though adding navigation and other features will add to the cost. At this price point, you're going to reach people who might not have thought they could afford a hybrid.
With the Civic, the primary audience will be families who want a vehicle that's not too big, but not too small, that is also very fuel-efficient, and of course single buyers might like its look and feel better than the Insight too.
The Insight base model, which runs $18,500, can be upgraded in three different packages. The Insight LX features a USB audio connection (which you can use charge your phone while driving) and iPhone control via the steering wheel.
Going up to the Insight EX will get you alloy wheels, and the top trim level is Insight EX with navigation, which gets you up to about 24,000.
Navigation is only offered on the top trim level.
There are four basic versions of the Civic hybrid, two of which feature navigation.
The base Civic sedan features cloth seats; the next level up gets you navigation and XM radio.
There is also a version with leather seats, and one with leather seats, navigation and XM radio.
Prices range from $24,200 to $26,900, not including the $790 destination charge.
In-car tech
Both the Insight and Civic I drove featured Bluetooth connectivity to your phone (which was easy to set up), and the ability to use voice controls to make phone calls, control navigation, control climate and control radio -- which can only help in terms of overall safety.
Also making things easy and safer are the controls on the steering wheel (Channel up/down, volume up/down, music source btton, phone call buttons, cruise control buttons, info screen buttons).
Ports offered on the vehicles are a USB port in center console; 12-volt connectors, and an MP3 auxiliary input jack in front. All these appear on all civics, whereas the base Insight skips the USB port.
Both vehicles feature a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system that sounded pretty good. There is no satellite radio option on Insight hybrid, but it is offered on Civic hybrid.
Info screens
As I alluded to before, you can use the info screens on the vehicles to track what's going on with the car, your average mpg, your ECO score, etc.
If you go for a vehicle without navigation, you get a standard head unit with stereo, but no screen. If you get navigation, the screen measures 6.5 inches.
Naughton said the original Insight was a bit of a niche product, but: "Since then, we've become more and more mainstream and improved the system with regard to making it more efficient, cost effective, and applying it to volume models like the Civic."
He continued: "We will continue developing various powertrains so we don't have all our eggs in one basket. Natural gas, regular gas, and hybrids offered in more models and more variations or powertrains."
The IMA system is a one-motor hybrid stystem. In the spring, Honda will introduc a 2014 plug-in hybrid Accord with a two-motor system. that can run in electric only for 10-15 miles, then revert to traditional hybrid use. Further down the road, a 3-motor hybrid system is planned for an Acura model.
Hybrids are not for everyone, especially those craving maximum horsepower, but I enjoyed my time in the Honda Insight and Civic hybrids, which provide an impressive mpg performance without leaving you too thirsty for power. It is a nice feeling not to have to go to the gas station very much, and the overall prices aren't too prohibitive on either model considering the gas savings over the long run. When you consider Honda's reputation for long-term reliability, in addition to the hybrid mpg bonus, that makes both models pretty attractive offerings.
There is a lot of competition in the hybrid market, and Honda has tough competition from Toyota and others – even Ford's new hybrids are among the best out in mpg numbers – so I would recommend potential hybrid buyers try out a variety of models from various automakers and see what vehicle fits their taste best. In addition to the mpg performance and how the car drives, you're going to want to get something that you feel comfortable in and whose design works for you.
But in the end, I bet a lot of hybrid buyers do go the Honda route, as their offferings are among the better options out there.

Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Studies on the cell and molecular biology of parasitic protozoa are critically important for two reasons; first, these organisms are major pathogens of humans and anaimals and, second, they have proven to be a source of some remarkable phenomena that have challenged much of the dogma thought to be universal in eukaryotic biology. We have been studying two of these single-celled eukaryotes, Trypanosoma brucei and Toxoplasma gondii. Each has its own features that make it interesting to the scientist and both are major pathogens, trypanosomes being the cause of sleeping sickness in Africa and Toxoplasma being a major opporunistic pathogen of AIDS patients. As of, 1998, however, we have focused our entire effort on Toxoplasma because of its growing importance and our results developing this system for modern genetic analysis (we now have a full genetic "toolbox" for this intracellular parasite including a genetic map, efficient genetic transformation and gene knock-out).
The major areas where the lab is currently working are:
(i) Intracellular parasitism: how does this parasite attach, invade and reproduce within virtually any nucleated cell.
(ii) Protein trafficking; how are proteins destined for novel secretory organelles specifically targeted and, ultimately, injected into the host cell during invasion?
(iii) Developmental biology; what genes are crucial for asexual development from the actively dividing to the latent form of the parasite and what are the cis- and trans-elements that control that expression.
(iv) Host-pathogen interaction: what changes occur in the host cell in response to infection?
(v) Pathogenesis: what properties make certain strains more virulent than others?

Not really. I think he was really kind in Sinnoh.
Elekid's watching you!
In think episode, Ash was too much stressed and nervous.
^Prima's Slowbro and actually most of her pokemon were able to control the opponenet's moves. That's why Ash's Pikachu looked so miserable during the battle...
I wonder why they didn't make Misty battle Prima instead of Ash like Dawn tried against Lucian. Even though she wouldn't have won neither, she would made a better oponent for her.
Elekid's watching you!
A month ago, I've watched some Orange Islands episodes on old videos (VHS). Then this one came along. My mother immediately noticed Primas breasts. Brock should've been there.
I don't care, I don't see animated characters as "hot" of "sexy".
Aside from that, nice episode. Especially Charizard misbehaving and seeing Ash losing, he was way too arrogant that episode.

Disliked the Prima=Water thing they pulled. She's an Ice Trainer, doggone it.
Yea, she was ice not water. Although it was still a nice episode with an okay battle.
I thought someone was either going to get smacked by one of Prima's boobs or someone was going to say something about her figure. I really thought that this was one of those episodes that the writers must have forgot to ban and that we was almost about to see it.
Elekid's watching you!
Ash definitely learned very valuable lessons in this episode. This was an episode that he really deserved to lose, especially against Prima of the Elite 4. The battle itself was very cool.
Ash said he was "invincible"!

I really liked this episode when I saw it. I enjoyed Ash's battle with Prima, and was actually glad that he lost since he deserved it after being so cocky earlier. But, I did find Prima's, er, chest to be a little disturbing...
Also, I didn't know that Prima was really Lorelei. I didn't play any of the first gen games until a few years after this episode aired (and I had forgotten about this episode when I played Yellow). It wasn't until I read the Fame Checker in FRLG that I realized that Prima = Lorelei. I find it a bit embarrassing. :/
Thanks to aclover for the trainer card
A great episode. It's always great to see Ash get smacked around by an Elite Four member every once in a while and it's even better when it's overconfident Ash. Not much to say outside of that though. The banter between Ash and Misty was nice. Perverse psychology.~
pirate detective
I absolutely loved this episode! It was great to see someone way stronger than Ash, and she has a likable personality... and a bit too much going on in certain areas for a kids show. I liked seeing her Slowbro disabling Ash's Charizard, and just the way she battled everyone in general. The only thing I wanted to see was a Misty vs Prima battle. They made her some Water icon for some reason, so they should have had a great battle, rather than Ash at the end.
This episode was great, Misty seeing her idol Prima for the first time was very cool. I just wish they had a battle instead of Ash because of Misty's goal to become a Water Master.

Best friends forever, Sisters at heart ♥
This episode was great for Ash learning some good tips from Prima. And as many people said, I would find it hilarious if Brock was there. They have some pretty good original filler episodes in this season.
Yes!! Lorelei appeared. It's funny that they couldn't have a human with more than three syllables in their name. Prima was funny when she said how much the tape was. But she is kind of peculiar too.

Chicago Looks To Community Policing To Reduce Violent Crime
Originally published on Tue January 8, 2013 4:37 pm
In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting, there's been renewed talk of assault weapons bans and other gun control measures. But such legislation won't even be called for a vote in Illinois' state legislature this week, even though shootings and homicides have spiked in Chicago, topping 500 in the last year. So Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his police department are renewing community policing in an effort to improve community relations and reduce violent crime.

I have a new GM-1518 that I cannot get to work with my Dish VIP222k. I have the dip switches set for Dish Western Arc (4-7-8 down).
I know the VIP222k is fully functional because I can use it with my existing Dish 500DP+.
1. Disconnected the receiver inputs one and two and run check switch to clear the receiver.
2. Attached the coax from the GM-1518 directly to receiver input one.
3. Set the receiver for one input, transponder 11, sat 119.
4. Powered up the GM-1518. It searches for a while (I removed the dome for observation) and seems to momentarily lock on sats 110 and 119 or 119 and 129. Then it moves to a different position and seems to go to sleep.
5. Run check switch.
GM-1518 never moves, no signals found, nada!
I am certain I am missing a simple step; please help.
