A History of The Missionary Training Institute (1933)
1883 – 1933
By John H. Cable
As the title page indicates, the immediate occasion for the issuing of this brief history of the Institute is the Jubilee of the school. The Executive Committee, consisting of Rev. H. M. Shuman, Rev. L. B. Griffin, Rev. George Shaw, Rev. E. R. Dunbar, and Rev. .H. Cable, authorized the writer in its regular meeting of October 12, 1932, to take care of getting the facts and the assembling the material for a history of The Missionary Training Institute as one of the features of our Jubilee celebration. This committee has advised concerning the copy, agreed upon the illustrations to be used, selected the binding, and decided the form the booklet should take. Rev. D. J. Fant, Publication Secretary of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, has contributed his expert advice in arranging the pages and advising as to the mechanical work.
So many individuals, executives, teachers, and distinguished patrons have been prominent in the school's life that it is impossible to feature any without giving prominence to all. Therefore, instead of these, we have used group pictures of each of the five decades of the Institute's history.
The writer recognized that the fruitful fifty years' ministry of The Missionary Training Institute merits a more thorough-going and extensive treatment, and hopes that a complete history will be forthcoming, yet he rejoices in the honor and privilege of providing "copy" on the "Oldest Bible School in America."
Nyack, N.Y., April 15, 1933
In Mark's account of the choosing and setting apart of the twelve he says, "And he ordained twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils." So the twelve were chosen that they might "be with him." Evidently this association is presupposed as a preparation for their being sent forth to preach.
The Master, in calling disciples, did what great teachers are expected to do. It is by personal contact that men of unusual gifts and extraordinary graces pass on to succeeding generations their valuable contributions. Thus posterity is enriched and the wealth of the race conserved. From this standpoint a school is an association between teacher and pupils. Hence we have as the idea of a university—"Mark Hopkins (the teacher) on one end of a log and the boy on the other."
Then any school becomes a reflector of its founder or dominating personality. The pupils shine from borrowed light. As the moon, the sun, so they mirror their master.
And yet again a school is nearly always a handmaiden to a movement. It is not an end in itself; it does not exist for itself. It functions most successfully when it best serves the "cause."
The above considerations will aid us in our study of The Missionary Training Institute.
I. The Occasion of The Missionary Training Institute
1. THE FOUNDERa. Personal History
Rev. A. B. Simpson, D.D., the founder of the school, came from Scotch parentage; "the Simpson family emigrated from Morayshire and settled in Prince Edward Island in 1774." Among his ancestors were "Covenanters." He was brought up in the United Presbyterian Church.
His parentage was unusual. Miss Louisa Simpson, who in 1920 was "the only surviving member of the household," writes as follows of her parents:
"While speaking of my father, I feel that I owe it to his memory to say that, in a period ranging from my babyhood till he was nearly eighty-five years of age, I never once saw him lose his temper or say an unkind word to anyone, though I often saw him deeply hurt, for he was very tender and most affectionate. His life was radiant with sunshine. As my brother, James, stood with me besides his coffin, he said, almost enviously, 'There lies a man who never wronged his fellow.'
"Mother was a most earnest Christian all her life. She was a woman of the highest ideals…Deeply religious, she trained us to take everything to God in prayer."
Speaking of his life purpose Dr. Simpson wrote, "My first definite religious crisis came at about the age of fourteen. Prior to this I had for a good while been planning to study for the ministry." Then he relates of his scheme to teach school in order to earn money for his education; of his breaking down physically under the strain; of his High School work; of his religious experience at that time; of his teaching a school of forty pupils at the age of sixteen in order "to earn money for my first cycle of college."
He entered Knox College, now situated on the campus of the University of Toronto, October, 1861, where he completed his arts and theological studies. His exceptional ability may be judged from the fact of his having won several prizes for excellence in scholarship. One of these was a reward offered for proficiency in the Classics; another was the John Knox Bursary prize for an essay on "Infant Baptism"; yet another was the Prince of Wales prize for an essay on "The Preparation of the World for the Appearing of the Saviour and the Setting up of His Kingdom." "During the summer vacations," writes Dr. Simpson, "I was sent out to preach in mission churches and stations." Thus at the close of his theological course he was prepared to enter upon his first pastorate, Knox Church, Hamilton.
Subsequent to this charge he ministered to the Chestnut Street Church, Louisville. There he was instrumental in uniting the churches of the city in a successful evangelistic effort led by Major Whittle and P. P. Bliss. Out of this grew "a Tabernacle in a central location on Broadway." He insisted upon a church "free from debt, free to God, free to all" and refused to dedicate it until these conditions were met.
b. Special Calling
From Louisville he came to the Thirteenth Street Presbyterian Church in New York, November, 1879. Late in life Dr. Simpson referred to his association with this church as follows: "For two years I spent a happy ministry with this noble people, but found after a thorough and honest trial that it would be difficult for them to adjust themselves to the radical and aggressive measures to which God was leading me. What they wanted was a conventional parish for respectable Christians. What their young pastor wanted was a multitude of publicans and sinners. Therefore, after two years of most congenial and cordial fellowship with these dear people and without a strain of any kind, I frankly told them that God was calling me to a different work, and I asked them and the Presbytery of New York to release me for the purpose of preaching the gospel to the masses." His farewell sermon was preached November 7, 1881. Leaving his influential pastorate and lucrative salary, he launched forth with no constituency and no financial assistance. His failure was predicted. Dr. John Hall said to him, "We will not say good-bye to you, Simpson, you will soon be back with us."
Though he thus acted according to his deepest convictions for his life, yet he did not attempt to lure other workers from their associations. On this point Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie, then in New York City but later of Westport, Conn., said, "As often as I could I met with him, for he seemed to long for me, and I was always blessed in fellowship with him. I confess I was more than once allured to think of following his step. In later years he once declared in public that he would much prefer to have Mr. Mackenzie's presence and teaching as a minister of the Episcopal Church than as a worker in the Alliance."
Since the object of the work of Rev. A. B. Simpson was the salvation of souls, his ministry was one of pastoral evangelism. Soon followers gathered about him. February, 1882, a meeting was held at his residence, and a church of thirty-five members formally organized. The membership rapidly increased. A Sunday evening congregation of 700 was soon attracted to his unique ministry. The ideal that Mr. Simpson had for his church is couched in these words: "My plan and idea of a church are those which are exemplified in the great London churches of Newman Hall and of Spurgeon, comprising thousands of members of no particular class, but of the rich and poor side by side." When the Gospel Tabernacle was organized it was stated that the particular mission of the congregation was "the neglected classes at home and abroad." And such has continued to be the object of this congregation and the movement that has grown out of it. A small group of only seven persons met at Caledonian Hall, Eighth Avenue and Thirteenth Street, November 1881. Later Abbey's Park Theater was used for Sunday evening services. Other places of meeting were obtained as audiences increased. In May 1882, Grand Opera Hall was rented and used for two years. Tent meetings were held at various places in the city. Once meetings were held in Madison Square Garden. In the spring of 1884, through a providential circumstance, the Twenty-third Street Tabernacle was secured. This moving about was a continued quest for quarters in keeping with an expansion due to the intensely evangelistic character of the work, until the congregation was firmly established in the present structure at 692 Eighth Avenue. Descriptive of the type of church life of the Gospel Tabernacle we quote from "The Life of A. B. Simpson, by A. E. Thompson:
"The atmosphere of the church was wholesome, and although it suffered much misrepresentation and caricature, the testimonies of sane religious leaders … prove that there was nothing extreme or fanatical either in the testimony or methods. In The Christian Inquirer of May 24, 1888, was the following sentence: 'It is a mistake to suppose that Mr. Simpson's work is mainly in the line of propagating the doctrine of Divine Healing, that being a subordinate feature. His chief work is purely evangelistic, and in many of the meetings physical healing is not referred to, but Christ as the sinner's Friend is the great theme.'"
c. An Educator
While Dr. Simpson was thus energetically spending himself with an ever expanding evangelistic ministry he was seeing the possibilities for service in the lives that were being attracted to him. In The Christian and Missionary Alliance of April 30, 1897, in an article, "The Training and Sending Forth of Workers," he expressed his ideals of training and what he hoped would be realized through "The Missionary Institute." Commenting on Luke 10:2, "Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest," he said, "The first (scripture) reminds us that God must send them forth." Citing Romans 10: 14, 15, "How shall they hear without a preacher, and how shall they preach except they be sent?" he wrote, "The second (scripture) reminds us that we must send them forth." Referring to 2 Timothy 2:2, "The things which thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also," he continued, "And the third that they must be carefully prepared and selected by wise training and deep spiritual discernment, for they must not be only faithful men but able to teach others also." Then after stating, "God has always had a trained ministry," as a sort of a topic sentence, he observes, by scriptural examples, that training has divine sanction. So he alludes to Moses' training in "the solitudes of Horeb"; he reminds us of Joshua's tutorage under Moses; he features Samuel as "the real founder of the schools of the prophets"; he portrays Elisha with a "lot of students who were called sons of the prophets"; coming to the Teacher of teachers he says, "Christ had a trained ministry and the course of his college was just three years, a heavenly pattern which we are endeavoring to follow." Concluding his introduction to this article, which embodies his reasons as well as his ideals and aims for The Missionary Training Institute, Dr. Simpson writes: "The training of Christian workers therefore rests upon a scriptural warrant. We have no fault to find with the principles of the trained ministry. The only criticism is about the kind of training. How often it is merely intellectual, scholastic, traditional, and many of us have found by sad experience that God has to put us to school again to unlearn much of what man has crammed into our brains and then to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn of Him." From these statements we are prepared to expect something in Dr. Simpson's plan for his school that is different from the conventional Seminary courses and programs. Coupled with this conviction that workers should be "trained" there was in Dr. Simpson a desire not only to have them taught, but to teach them himself. Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie, associated with Mr. Simpson at the inception of his work, once remarked to the writer, "Simpson was instinctively an educator." Here we distinguish between the educator and the mere instructor. The latter simply imparts or build in or on, as the etymology of the word suggests. The former stimulates, encourages, creates and atmosphere or leads out, as the etymology indicates.
We are indebted to Dr. W. M. Turnbull, successor of Dr. Simpson as Pastor of the Gospel Tabernacle, New York City, for his description, an appreciation of Dr. Simpson In the classroom: "Although Dr. Simpson was a strikingly handsome and attractive figure, was possessed of a resonant, captivating voice, and was gifted with social graces that gave him advantage in any company, it was always to be noticed that the affection of his students seemed to be drawn to his Master even more than to himself. It is difficult to recall his ways and methods in the classroom because of the overpowering sense of the Lord's presence that abides in the memory as the aroma of his teaching ministry. Yet there are many hundreds scattered throughout the world, wherever need is greatest, who will treasure as their most valued recollection the picture of the simple chapel at New York or Nyack filled with a company of eager young students. The teacher's chair is empty, for all have come early at Dr. Simpson's hour. A happy chorus is started with exuberance of spirit, and the zest of it makes young blood tingle. Another chorus, perhaps a trifle boisterous, but suddenly a hush falls, for down the aisle comes the dignified form of Dr. Simpson. The massive head upon the broad shoulders is bowed as one who enters a holy place. The chorus dies away; he quietly takes his chair, opens his Bible, and smiles in a delightful comradeship upon his class. 'Will you not sing another chorus?' he asks. 'Song is a little of heaven loaned to earth.' He is one of us, young as the youngest. One feels that he knows every thought and desire of the most wayward heart, yet his face and voice betray the fact that he has been caught up into the third Heaven and has seen things unlawful to utter. He comes to our level, but brings the glory of the Presence with him. We can only sing, "My Jesus, I Love Thee, I Know Thou Art Mine,' or some similar hymn in adoration. Then follows the prayer as he talks about us to Christ Jesus at his side. We breathe softly, and listen for each word as it is uttered. It would not surprise us much to hear an audible answer because the Lord seems so near. In such moments our petty sorrows and the little selfish plans wither and are gone. Deep in the soul is born a desire to please in all things, not Dr. Simpson, but that Living One, whose voice whispers to us and whose hand we feel upon our hearts. As the Scriptures are expounded, the same Presence lingers and many a splendid point of truth is not only intellectually grasped, but is personally applied as some convicted one takes a practical step of obedience and whispers, 'Lord, I will.' The simplicity and orderliness of Dr. Simpson's classroom teaching prevented one from fully realizing its profundity. Only in retrospect, could one ever attempt to appraise his incomparable gifts. Without doubt he was one of the master teachers of his generation. His breadth and comprehensiveness of view were phenomenal. He combined deep spiritual intuition with such forceful yet simple presentation that the greatest truths were caught by even the unlettered. Men of wide learning and deep Christian experience could sit in his classes by the side of the intellectual babe, sharing equally in the richness of truth that fell with such graciousness from his lips. So kindly and affectionate was his manner, that the most timid found more confidence, and yet so princely was his bearing that no idle questions ever wasted the precious moments of his our. Wholesomeness of spirit radiated from his presence and proved a powerful preventative morbidness or fanaticism… He gripped every mind that was open. In any department of the educational world, he would have been an outstanding success. His virile personality, quick sympathy and crystal clearness would have won him fame; but when to all his natural talents were added the Spirit's gift of prophesying and teaching, it is not to be wondered that he holds the supreme place in the minds of all who were ever favored to sit at his feet."
Judged historically, Dr. Simpson was a social realist educationally. Social-realism "regarded education, in the frankest and most utilitarian manner, as the direct preparation for the life of the 'man of the world.'" – Monroe. With the social-realists education is a frank preparation for a practical serviceable life. "Studies are not condemned, but they are subordinated." The theoretical must become the handmaid of the practical. Dr. Simpson advocated a training in the scriptures and their wise use in ministerial and missionary work so as to bring practical results. Though a classical scholar himself, he held that knowledge was simply an instrument, an aid, a means to an end; hence, the emphasis on "Training." All social realists advocate training, travel, etc., as most valuable in education.
Coming from the Presbyterian or Calvinistic branch of the Protestant Church as he did, we are not surprised that he was democratic in the matter of education. Though John Calvin taught the Sovereignty of God, yet he believed in the priesthood of believers. Therefore, each one must be prepared to go to God for himself. This magnifies the individual. Dr. Simpson led each one to practice the presence of God, to have an awareness of the Lord through the Holy Spirit. He is classified by Rev. A. E. Thompson as a Pauline mystic. His followers are mystics; and mystics are individualistic and require latitude and expect recognition and respect each for his own "leading." This Dr. Simpson encouraged.
Having considered the Founder of The Missionary Training Institute we shall now see that the folks that gathered about him constituted an occasion for such an institution.
a. The Awakened
Those that had received spiritual quickening under the Holy Spirit indited ministry of Dr. Simpson and his associates were awakened intellectually. They had new interests. Life had a different meaning. Such a radical subjective experience, as most of them had, made the world and all it contained to bristle with meaning.
b. The "Irregulars"
These he referred to as "irregulars." He gave as a reason for the school, "The need of irregulars in the work of the gospel." Writing on this point he observed that "Early in the history of the church we find God sending forth laymen like Stephen, Philip and Barnabas to lead the great work of apostolic evangelization. We do not compete in this Institute with the regular theological seminary and the ordinary methods of taking the gospel ministry. We claim to be raising up a band of irregular soldiers for the vast unoccupied fields to supplement the armies of the Lord in the regions they cannot reach and work they cannot overtake."
This generous, open-door, policy naturally drew to the Institute as David's magnanimity attracted to the Cave of Adullam. One associate said, "I could have worshipped him in those days."
a. The Missionary
Dr. Simpson was a missionary at heart. His mother had dedicated him to this. He was baptized by John Geddie immediately preceding his going to Aneityum. In 1878, while a pastor in Louisville, Ky., he had a vision of the lost of China. This vision dominated his life. His missionary hymns, "To the Regions Beyond I Must Go," and "A Hundred Thousand Souls a Day Are Passing One by One Away," express his feeling of personal responsibility on the one hand and the crying need of heathen without Christ on the other.
b. The Movement
The movement which he founded, maintaining five hundred missionaries and a proportionate number of native workers on twenty fields, is a witness to the reality and insistence of his missionary purposes. In the early days of the work, many of those led to Christ through his ministry volunteered for foreign service. Their training was another reason for the establishing of the school which has since come to be known as The Missionary Training Institute. The missionary objective and obligation of the School is beautifully and forcefully couched in the last hymn written by Dr. Simpson on the Nyack motto and sung at the Congress of Missionary Bands, February, 1919. The motto and hymn are as follows:
The Whole Bible to the Whole Wide World
"God has given us a great commission,
"God has given us a great salvation,
"Christ is calling us with many voices,
"Blessed Master, we have heard Thy summons,
II. The Origin of the Missionary Training Institute
The Missionary Training Institute, now known throughout the world, had a very humble beginning. The first class, comprising a few enthusiastic followers of the founder, met on the stage of a theater on Twenty-third Street, New York City. The equipment, a few benches and tables, was meager indeed. But there were to be found the essentials of a school, the thoroughly equipped, stimulating teacher and eager pupils. This was in the year 1882.
During its early years the Institute had no fixed home. October, 1883, it entered a new home on Eighth Avenue. Then it was organized as The Missionary Training College for Home and Foreign Missionaries and Evangelists. Between forty and fifty attended.
During those early days foundations were laid for the superstructure of later years. Friends were attracted and attached to this new type of venture of faith. For, as Dr. Turnbull has written, "Dr. Simpson was the pioneer in the field of Bible Training School work in America, although in Great Britain the East London Institute founded by Dr. H. Gratton Guinness is some years older." Soon there were numbered among the patrons and pupils many from distant ports.
In those days Dr. Simpson was ably aided by Prof. Robert Roden and Miss Waterbury as instructors. During the first session Dr. Arthur T. Pierson, Dr. George F. Pentecost, Dr. Charles F. Deems, Dr. A. J. Gordon, Dr. Thomas C. Easton, and Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie either lectured or gave addresses in the school. The last name still makes a biweekly visit to the Institute and gives three lectures. Thus he constitutes a living link between 1882 and 1933.
In passing it as well to observe that Dr. Simpson displayed a remarkable capacity for attracting to himself and his work men of outstanding ability and unusual gifts. For a number of years Dr. F. W. Farr, as Vice-President, gave his time and many varied talents to the administration of the school and to teaching. Later W. C. Stevens, gifted and trained, as Principal did much for the development of the Institute. George P. Pardington, B.D., Ph.D., of New York University and Drew Theological Seminary, cast in his lot and devoted his services for a score of years to a very high type of spiritual and scholarly instruction. His greatly appreciated ministry was crowned by a year of administrative work as Dean. J. Hudson Ballard, B.D., Ph.D., made an indelible impression upon Wilson Memorial Academy and the Missionary Training Institute by virtue of his executive genius and rare pedagogical gifts, closing his valuable ministry in the Alliance schools, May, 1915. Walter M. Turnbull, D.D., returning from a term of missionary service in India, after completing the course of study offered by McMaster University, was called to Nyack in 1914. As Instructor, Dean and Educational Secretary, he played an important role in The Missionary Training Institute. Rev. A. E. Funk served the Institute loyally both at New York and Nyack. As Superintendent he devoted himself to the young men for a score of years.
Dr. James M. Gray, Dr. Henry Wilson, Rev. Stephen Merritt, Rev. D. Y. Schultz, Dr. John Robertson, Dr. C. I. Scofield, Rev. A. L. Mershon, Rev. J. D. Williams, and Mrs. C. D. Field are included in the list of teachers and special lecturers who wrought with Dr. Simpson during the years of his most active ministry in the Institute.
In more recent years in addition to the Presidents: Rev. Paul Rader, 1919-24; Dr. F. H. Senft, 1924-26; and Rev. H. M. Shuman, 1926—, those that have served as major officers of the school are: J. D. Williams, Home Superintendent, 1914-15; W. M. Turnbull, Dean, 1915-22; C. L. Eicher, Acting Dean, 1922-23, and Dean, 1923-27; John H. Cable, Acting Dean, 1921-22, Principal, 1927-29 and Dean of the Faculty, 1929—; K. D. Garrison, Superintendent and Treasurer, 1927-29; M. B. Birrell, Superintendent, 1930-32; E. R. Dunbar, Superintendent, 1932—; L. Keller Brubaker, Treasurer, 1900-12 and 1914-19; R. E. Bennison, Treasurer, 1912-14; J. H. Palin, Treasurer, 1919-20; W. S. Poling, Treasurer, 1920-29; W. W. Bradley, Treasurer, 1929-30; and L. B. Griffin, Treasurer, 1930—.
Since in Dr. Simpson's conception the ministry of women had a prominent place, we list the following has having had direct responsibilities in the oversight of the home life of the women: Miss Fannie L. Hess; Mrs. A. A. Kirk; Mrs. J. D. Williams, 1914-15; Mrs. Cora Rudy Turnbull, 1915-21; Mrs. John H. Cable, summer of 1916; Miss Isabel Marvin, summer of 1922; Mrs. E. M. Charlton, 1917-21, 1930—; Miss E. Hoffman, 1921-25; Miss Sara O. Gardner, 1925-26; Mrs. C. L. Eicher, 1926-27; Miss Mary F. Parmenter, 1927-28; Miss Margaret Scheirich, 1928-29; Miss Marie Freligh, 1929-30; and Miss May B. Benjamin, summers of 1931 and 1932.
Mrs. A. D. Pardington served as Registrar from 1915 to 1925.
The wives of the resident Superintendents have also directly affected the lives of the students. Of these we mention Mrs. A. E. Funk, known to many as "Mother Funk," Mrs. K. D. Garrison, Mrs. M. B. Birrel, and Mrs. E. R. Dunbar.
Members of the Faculty and Staff continue to be selected in line with high standards of spirituality, scholarship, capability and loyalty to the doctrines and aims of the Institute.
Though Dr. Simpson's beliefs were vital to him, rather than simply matters of a creed held intellectually, yet he was most tolerant to those evangelicals who differed with him in minor matters. This magnanimity characterized him in his school ministry. His own outstanding gifts and graces made his presentation of truth peculiarly attractive. His influence as an educator was compelling without his exercising compulsion.

I believe Irish is weaker than he appears, especially without the suit. Any guy his size will pick him easily, much less larger guys.
of course unless your take on it is similar, then my opinion is moot.

This occurs in 2 parts. One is the "Before Canon" miniseries of fics centered on the various characters before they become St@rs. The next part is the [World Tour] arc, which takes them out of the school (conveniently avoiding them being involved in Silver Gospel) during the summer vacation and scampering throughout the globe experiencing life outside of the author's warped world view.
My characters are walking shout-outs, that's how I write. I find that if I don't I lose interest quickly.
My plot however, apart from winks here and there, are based on these characters coming together and turning things upside down.
Finally, all of them are idol singers, allowing me to mix in some Macross-esque shoutouts, and most of all take them out of school ever so often to see the wider world.
You *can* still go against the social order. That's where all the "everyone's on the edge of open war" sentiment comes in. I just simply thought of the most fun, most over-the-top campy solution (Save the world with the Power of Rock, and IS!) then ran with it.
Ultimately, the popular story is not the grossly thought-out one, but the one that keeps updating, has a plot to follow, might explode your mind here and there, but you don't feel the rage that the author makes us feel.
That's what I've learnt from going to so many fandoms. Sure, you can sell pure Dan Brown snake oil, but only if you can sustain it. Right now, I'm challenging myself to finish a story I started, and if being overly cracky is the way forward, so be it.
My fic is actually a deconstruction of all the realism and grimdark that was flying around this thread. And incidentally, I decided to revive some age-old wisdom along the way, as Zero put it nicely. I wanted to write an interesting story that didn't rely on grimdark to make it better. And what better to prove my point than overdosed noblebrightness and tropiness?

What I need to know is if Tatenashi should be stronger than him. I re-read V5 and saw that she managed to smash through Ichika's door when he was pressing down on it even without her unit. Does this mean she's stronger than he is or not?
@ Meister - And that's why I'm reading your story Nothing like a dose of brightness to make you feel like you're alive.
Side note - It's your fault shadow lost it's GD. Now over half of it is light hearted situations and character development instead of the darker premise.

Here it is.
I myself is an lean-bodied man that's declared overweight (78 kg, as opposed to 65-70 kg) due to my larger bone structure (that resembles Space marine for some odd reason).
Irish himself is an exomorph, and he may have his ideal weight, but lighter than average.

@ Zero - Lack of muscle and proper food kind of contributes to the small weight. He also moves around a lot so he doesn't have a chance to let any fat build up.
Side note - All of the girls strengths seem to be rule of funny. Laura arm barred Ichika despite the fact that he's somewhat muscular and she as the body of a 13 year old. Lets not forget the Houki Pouki where Houki gave Ichika air time by kicking him in the gut!
@ Box - You've read volume 5, can you give me a strength assessment for the student council prez?

Just kidding, as for your question, she's pretty much a beast in and out of the IS, as per Ichika's commentary she almost looks like she's dancing, don't confuse this with capoeira, although she can do that too, oh and she did a Tekken juggle with Ichika too.

I plan to make a strange situation where she being reckless in her fight against Ichika, and Chifuyu was too late to warn her about the dangerousness of pushing him onto limit... Deconstruction ahoy!

@ Box - Nope, the text says she just jumped on the door and was apparently strong enough to make Ichika fall over. Ichika's shown to be pretty strong so this kind of confused me.

Ichika was getting desperate and basically superman punched her, she countered and kept hitting him while he was airborne, I think Ichika stopped counting after more-or-less 20 hits. (Then he lost consciousness, if I remember correctly.)

Basically, Ichika has emergency mode of sort, that he can fight while half-conscious. problem is, he lacked restraint and most of his attack can be dangerous and outright lethal. This is what happen in Chapter 12 too when Ichika was ganged by the thugs.
The logic is: You lose consciousness and youll be killed, better to kill them first, its all due to his unnatural body. Like a candle going off, it shines bright for a moment.
Tatenashi does her 20-hit air combo, and Ichikas response is... punching into her ribs as hard as hell before fell unconscious... (remember his punch is strong enough to dislocate Lauras Jaw and thrown her to the wall). Tatenashi getting an internal bleeding in the liver, though she quickly treated and get of by 24 hours.

As for HOW Ichika can hit her, he grabbed her leg at 21st hit and countered while midair, using gravity and his own mass.
Yeah....that's gonna hurt a lot.

Man with medieval-type sword shot by police
COVINGTON, Ga. (AP) — Georgia authorities say a police officer shot a man who was using a large, "medieval"-style sword to swipe at traffic.
Covington police Capt. Craid Treadwell says officers got calls Wednesday about a man walking in and out of traffic carrying the sword and occasionally swiping at cars.
The Covington News reports that police say the man attacked an officer. Treadwell says as the officer shouted commands and drew his gun, the man raised his sword above his head and attacked the officer again.
Treadwell says the officer had no choice but to fire and hit the suspect once.
It was not immediately clear whether the 44-year-old man identified as Julian Leon Faulkner Jr. would face charges.
Treadwell says Faulkner was undergoing surgery. A number for Faulkner in Covington, about 35 miles east of Atlanta, was disconnected.

Jason Campbell threw three touchdown passes — two to Davone Bess — and the Cleveland Browns ended an 11-game losing streak against Baltimore, beating the wobbling defending Super Bowl champions 24-18 on Sunday.
No way this was going to be the latest in the endless sequels to a SOB story.
Same old Browns? Decidedly not, based on Sunday's
24-18 punch to the face of the defending Super Bowl champs. Not a single Brown apologized for talking about 4-5 as a record good enough to talk playoffs.
"Right now," linebacker D'Qwell Jackson said after a Sunday thriller, "we know we're in the hunt."
Seizing sole possession of second place in the AFC North doesn't seem like much unless you don't realize the Browns are better than 3-6 after nine games for the first time since 2007.
No one was more eager to throw that SOB story into the bonfire than head coach Rob Chudzinski.
The first-year head coach rolled the dice on two monster fourth-and-1s, resulting in a first-quarter touchdown
(a 1-yard pass to Davone Bess) and a fourth-quarter first down.
Failure on the latter play would have given Baltimore the ball near midfield, needing a filed goal to tie with more than three minutes left.
"That shows us that as a coach, Chud's not going to quit," quarterback Jason Campbell said. "We won't either."
Campbell played most of the game with injured ribs — he took a pained expression to the X-ray room afterward, emerging saying he doesn't think anything was broken. The injury, caused when 340-pound Haloti Ngata splattered him and drew a 15-yard penalty, influenced Campbell's throwing.
Yet, he made a good-enough toss to allow Bess to make a tough catch on that second fourth-and-1, gaining three monumental yards. He followed that with a pretty 17-yard completion over the middle to Chris Ogbonnaya.
He directed the offense to a field goal with 14 seconds left that swelled the lead to 24-18.
"Jason was hurting out there," Chudzinski said. "He kept fighting, and he made some huge plays."
It was the day of the fall time change. Night fell by the third quarter. It got tense under the lights.
The Browns led 14-10 when Eric Martin was late to the field as the Browns' punt-coverage unit lined up. Yet, Martin was the first man to arrive after Baltimore's Tandon Doss fumbled Spencer Lanning's moon-shot. Martin recovered at the 11. On second down, the Ravens didn't bother covering tight end Gary Barnidge, who caught a 4-yard touchdown pass.
Baltimore wasn't down 21-10 for long. A punt return set up a 32-yard touchdown drive on the first series of the fourth quarter. A two-point conversion made it 21-18.
Greg Little turned a short catch over the middle into a 46-yard play, but that fizzled out with a pooch punt.
Before leaving with a shoulder injury, Little was a huge factor (seven catches, 122 yards) in the Browns 315-278 edge in net yards.
Campbell outplayed the reigning Super Bowl MVP. Flacco threw more passes, 41-35. Campbell led in yards, 262-250, and rating, 116.6-82.4. He took less sacks, 5-3, and threw no picks (Flacco gave up one).
"Congratulations to Cleveland," said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, who had been 11-0 against the Browns. "They deserved to win the game. Their receivers came up big with some early catches. I thought Jason Campbell played exceptionally well."
The Browns kicked themselves for not putting the game away early.
An otherwise strong half ended in SOB fashion. On third and 10, leading 14-3 with a chance to punt the Ravens into a hole, the Browns opted to pass. Campbell went down for a 10-yard loss. The Ravens took over at their own 32 with a minute left.
Baltimore's quarterback went Shane Falco to Joe Montana. Pummeled for most of the half, Flacco fired a third-down bomb to Torrey Smith. Then he delivered a 19-yard touchdown strike to rookie Marlon Brown with nine seconds left.
The Browns still led 14-10, but they had led by six at halftime at Baltimore and wound up losing 14-6.
Before that possession, the Browns led 160 yards to 68.
Bess, last week's goat, got open just across the goal line on the first fourth-and-1. Campbell hit him for a touchdown.
The Ravens made it 7-3 on 51-yard field goal.
The game disappeared under a cloud of personal fouls, one on Ngata that temporarily sent Campbell to the bench, two on Little, who gallantly or stupidly, depending on one's perspective, was in a retaliatory mood.
The second flag against Little took the Browns from the 12 to the 27, but Campbell stayed cool. On second down, he went to Bess, who turned a short pass in the right flat into a 20-yard touchdown play.
It was 14-3, and a crowd of 71,513 buckled in for a ride.
"We were up 14-3. We were up 21-10," said the linebacker Jackson. "I've been in the league long enough to know that means nothing."
Jackson's flashing eyes made it clear this win meant something. He and Joe Thomas are the only current Browns who were on the team when the Browns last beat Baltimore, i33-30 in overtime on Nov. 18, 2007.
"This puts us in the hunt," Jackson said. "Let's win enough to stay in it, and see where that takes us."

|version 220.127.116.11, 2004/07/23 08:45:42
|Recent changes:
|Recent changes:
|The rc.d/sendmail script now uses a heuristic to determine
|if sendmail should be started at boot time. It checks the
|contents of /etc/mailer.conf, /etc/mail/submit.cf, and the
|owner and mode of the sendmail binary to see if any changes
|to the mail infrastructure have been made. If no changes
|are detected, it will start an SMTP listener.
|Setting sendmail=NO in /etc/rc.conf will override this.
|If you are only using sendmail by default and only for
|local delivery, it is important that you also update your
|sendmail.cf so that the SMTP listener only listens on the
|loopback interface.
|The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386
|kernel builds has been changed again. The latest version
|of bsd.files.mk is no longer required.
|The method by which athhal-elf.o gets pulled into i386 kernel builds
|has been changed. The file is now stored as a uuencode file in CVS
|and the generated Makefile will use the new .uue rules from bsd.file.mk
|to build it.
|This means you must have the latest bsd.files.mk installed when
|building a kernel without USETOOLS=yes.
|A bug in the cgd(4) blowfish code was corrected, without
|provision of backwards compatibility, after several public
|notices over several months. Users of cgd with blowfish cipher
|ONLY must dump their data before updating their kernels, and
|recreate cgd's and restore data using the new kernel. See
|(recent message to current-users, URL when mail-index has updated)
|On acorn32, the opms and qms drivers have been withdrawn, and
|the old wsqms driver is now called qms. Kernel config files
|will need updating. See the ones in sys/arch/acorn32/conf
|for examples.
|On acorn32, the beep and sysbeep devices are no longer
|needed, and will need to be deleted from kernel configuration
|Compatibility for old ffs superblock layouts has been
|added, and the restrictive fsck checks have been reenabled
|when using those layouts. If you have been using -current
|since 20030402, you may find that fsck again signals fatal
|superblock mismatches. To repair, make sure you have
|an updated fsck_ffs and then you can use fsck_ffs -b 16 -c 4
|to complete the filesystem upgrade. A message has
|been added to the kernel which should detect this problem.
|See the following discussion for more information:
|New binutils builds may fail due to old dependencies.
|It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
|the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
|A newer mkdep is needed. Error noting that is
|cc: Ambiguous abbreviation --
|/usr/include/sys/disklabel_mbr.h was removed.
|It's necessary to "make cleandir" to ensure that
|the dependencies will be rebuilt correctly.
|A sign exension bug was fixed which set all the high bits
|of our newly expanded ffs fs_flags. This should only
|affect users who installed or upgraded in September of 2003.
|A small utility program was posted to tech-kern which
|should fix this problem, and a warning message was added
|to the kernel which should discover and warn about it. See
|With the addition of siginfo support the old signal trampoline
|code has been deprecated to COMPAT_16. Make sure that your running
|kernel has COMPAT_16 enabled before building userland.
|With the new openssl, there is some header and library shuffling.
|rm -f /usr/include/des.h /usr/include/kerberosIV/* /lib/libdes* \
|/usr/lib/libdes* before building.
|Texinfo was updated to 4.6. To avoid failures when trying to
|build the included texinfo files, do:
|cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
|make MKINFO=no dependall install
|Groff was updated to 1.19; it's probably necessary to do
|cd share/mk && make install
|cd src/gnu/usr.bin/groff
|make MKMAN=no dependall install
|Due to bugs in the export handling code, invalid export lines
|were accepted before and caused the kernel to panic when
|mountd got restarted because it freed memory that had already
|been freed. This has been fixed and the kernel checks
|export addresses very strictly. If you upgrade your kernel,
|make sure you also upgrade mountd, because if your export
|file contains lines with an old inet4 address syntax (i.e.
|a.b.c or a.b or a), they will get rejected by the new kernel.
|The superblock layout for FFS was changed. If you have 1.6
|fsck binaries, they will signal a fatal superblock mismatch
|with the first alternate, because they compare too many
|fields (even ones that aren't useful). If possible, upgrade
|your fsck_ffs binary before using a new kernel.
|None of this signals actual filesystem damage.
|sendmail version 8.12.8 was imported. Since sendmail is
|now setgid to the smmsp group, and runs in "collection"
|mode for most common activities, there is a new config
|file called submit.cf that needs to live in /etc/mail.
|The generic submit.cf sample in /usr/share/sendmail/cf
|is named netbsd-msp.cf. Upgrading your regular sendmail
|configuration file is also strongly advised.
|See the section named "MESSAGE SUBMISSION PROGRAM" in
|the updated /usr/share/sendmail/README file for more
|Texinfo was updated to 4.3. To avoid failures when trying to
|build the included texinfo files, do:
|cd src/gnu/usr.bin/texinfo
|make MKINFO=no dependall install
|The METALOG format changed slightly, to remove the leading
|"${DESTDIR}" from path names.
|This only affects people building with UNPRIVED.
|For complete safety, remove the DESTDIR entirely and
|update tools/mtree, before running make build.
|CVS repository layout was changed. See the following for details
|if you are using (anonymous) cvs to update your tree.
|install(1) had a '-N dbdir' option added, to specify an
|alternate location to look up users & groups (instead
|of the host system passwd(5) and group(5) databases).
|The build system was modified to take advantage of
|this option (using ${NETBSDSRCDIR}/etc), so if you
|use USETOOLS==no, you may have to rebuild and
|reinstall usr.bin/xinstall first.
|fparseln(3) moved from libutil to libc.
|If building to DESTDIR=/, reinstall the includes
|and rebuild libc:
|make includes
|make do-lib-libc
|If using build.sh, "cd tools/compat && make clean"
|before rebuilding the tools.
|The mk.conf(5) variable SYS_INCLUDE has been deprecated,
|including the optional "SYS_INCLUDE=symlinks" support.
|All header files, including <sys/*.h> are copied into
|The C run-time support files crtbegin.o and crtend.o
|(and their companions crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o) were
|split up, with new crti.o and crtn.o files resulting.
|This means that libtool needs to be rebuilt once the
|new libraries are installed. The process of rebuilding
|libtool will cause it to automatically notice the new
|required files, but it *must* be rebuilt in order to
|do this.
|An out-of-date libtool will result in shared libraries
|which lack _init() and _fini() routines, which means that
|their global contructors/destructors will not be invoked.
|A bug related to how ARM ELF objects were tagged has been
|NetBSD ARM ELF uses the soft-VFP floating point model by
|default. However, the assembler lacked support for marking
|objects as using the VFP floating point format, and the
|compiler was not properly passing the flag indicating "soft-VFP"
|to the assembler.
|Unfortunately, this means that the linker will now consider
|old (i.e. not marked "softvfp") NetBSD ARM ELF objects to be
|incompatible with new (properly marked) objects.
|The problem will only manifest itself if you attempt to compile
|a new program using the fixed toolchain, and link that program
|against old libraries which do not have the proper "softvfp"
|markings. ALL OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES AND SHARED LIBRARIES
|The only work-around for the problem is to recompile all of
|the libraries on the system. The easiest way to do this for
|system libraries is to install a binary snapshot; they are
|generally available on releng.NetBSD.org. Any packages you
|have installed which supply libraries will have to be recompiled
|if you wish to link new programs against those libraries.
|If you have questions about this matter, please contact
|Systrace has been improved to support privilege elevation.
|Updating the kernel requires the userland part of systrace
|to be rebuilt.
|The config(8) grammar was changed to allow options to register
|dependencies on attributes, as well as other options. Users
|must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
|A new attribute dependency syntax was introduced to config(8),
|which is now used by the SCSI configuration description. Users
|must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config before building a new
|Several changes have been made to the autoconfiguration
|framework. Users must update and reinstall usr.sbin/config
|before building a new kernel.
|The i386mp branch has been merged. To compile a kernel, users
|will need to add the option 'cpu* at mainbus?' to their configuration
|file. Multiprocessor kernels will need
|ioapic* at mainbus? apid ?
|options MULTIPROCESSOR
|options COM_MPLOCK
|MKDYNAMICROOT=yes enabled by default, which means that
|certain shared libraries are installed into /lib, the shared
|linker is installed into /libexec, and all programs in /bin
|and /sbin are dynamically linked.
|If you do not use "make build", you should ensure that
|you have the libraries and shared linker in the new locations,
|make do-lib-csu do-lib-libc do-lib do-gnu-lib do-ld.elf_so
|USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN has been replaced with:
|- TOOLCHAIN_MISSING -- set to "yes" on platforms for which
|there is no working in-tree toolchain (hppa, ns32k, sh5,
|- EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN -- if defined by the user, points to the
|root of an external toolchain (e.g. /usr/local/gnu). This
|enables the cross-build framework even for TOOLCHAIN_MISSING
|gehenna-devsw has been merged into the trunk. Need to update and
|reinstall usr.sbin/config before building the kernel.
|Crunched rescue tools (contents of /bin and /sbin, plus others)
|are now provided in /rescue.
|To ensure that these are built statically linked (no matter
|what the setting of LDSTATIC is), use a crunchgen(1) built
|from sources newer than 20020820 (see the next entry).
|crunchgen(1) changed to ensure that the generated program
|is statically linked.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/crunch
|smmsp user/group has been added for sendmail.
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|smmsp:*:17:17::0:0:Sendmail Message Submission Program:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin
|sshd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in, or sshd
|will not let you log in (with default, or UsePrivlegeSeparation=yes)
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|sshd:*:16:16::0:0:& pseudo-user:/var/chroot/sshd:/sbin/nologin
|Also /var/chroot/sshd directory needs to be present (digged as part of
|the build process).
|NBUILDJOBS obsoleted in favor of just using -j.
|etc/postinstall added, which performs various checks for
|configuration file updates and changes, and can fix most of
|the problems identified.
|This should make it much easier to upgrade a system's
|configuration from earlier systems (as far back as NetBSD 1.5).
|<bsd.lib.mk> needs a new install(1) for its "-a cmd" support.
|Build and install at usr.bin/xinstall before the build.
|Raw IPv6 socket now makes strict checking for sa_family and sa_len
|on send(2) operation. Be sure to have sbin/rtsol and usr.sbin/rtsold
|newer than November 2001 when you upgrade the kernel.
|ssh configuration files were moved from /etc to /etc/ssh. Beware
|if you restart your machine from remote. Note that sshd.conf needs
|to be changed (due to the use of "/etc" inside).
|Users of the VAX port will need to rebuild and install gas
|so it deal with the now present register prefix used in all
|the VAX assembly files.
|ntpd user/group has been added. Need to hand add this in or builds
|will break as mtree aborts early.
|Add the following into /etc/group:
|and the following to /etc/master.passwd (via vipw):
|ntpd:*:15:15::0:0:Ntpd pseudo-user:/var/chroot/ntpd:/sbin/nologin
|If you're attempting to build a snapshot on sparc64 and are getting
|reloc errors from the toolchain groff binary this means your native
|toolchain has some broken C++ bits.
|To fix:
|Build a new toolchain (i.e. build.sh -t)
|Use the new toolchain to build and install natively (i.e. /usr/lib)
|After this a snapshot will be able to be built.
|In order for a sparc64 build to work you must have a working awk. If
|you've built and installed a system with the new toolchain up to this
|point you do not have a working awk as its ability to do floating
|point is broken.
|To build:
|remake and install gnu/lib/libgcc
|remake and install gnu/usr.bin/gawk into /usr/bin (make sure it links
|against the new libgcc.a)
|Kernel config information was changed to use defflag in
|the various "files" files. Bug fixes to config(8) are
|required in order for this to work properly. Make sure
|to build and install in usr.sbin/config before attempting
|to build a new kernel.
|libc/locale/wcstod.c now needs new lint(1). Update lint(1)
|before building libc.
|The new document BUILDING.mdoc (view with nroff | more, or
|see pre-generated .txt and .html versions) describes the build
|procedure in great detail. BUILDING, and the USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN
|build process, are intended in the long run to replace this
|manual update log.
|Users building a USE_NEW_TOOLCHAIN system should read the
|BUILDING document for caveats. Generally, BUILDING supersedes
|UPDATING for these systems, as tool updating is taken care of
|by the new build system.
|src/etc/Makefile now needs install to be able to handle
|symlinks that point to nowhere. A bug in install that
|prevented this was corrected.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.bin/xinstall
|Better Solution: Use the new toolchain and it will just work
|for you.
|/etc/mtree/NetBSD.dist has been updated to take advantage of
|absolute path support added to mtree(8). Older mtree(8)s don't
|understand the format.
|Solution: update and reinstall usr.sbin/mtree
|Crunchgen has been updated to work via reach-over makefiles. Updating
|is suggested before running a snapshot build
|The new "ubcperf" code committed by Chuck Silvers removed
|a header file, uvm/uvm_vnode.h. There may be stale .depend
|files that still reference this file.
|Solution: "make cleandir && make dependall" in affected
|grep.info is now built from grep.texi using makeinfo. Since it
|requires makeinfo v4.0, you need to install new texinfo before
|building gnu/usr.bin/grep. To install new texinfo, please follow
|the instruction described in 20010726 entry.
|(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
|`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand. To build the
|kernel successfully, you need to build and install a new toolchain,
|(i.e., build.sh -t) or (temporarily) comment out "options I686_CPU"
|from your kernel configuration until you rebuild your userland.

A patriotic service honoring the heroes of 9/11 was led by members of American Legion Post 55 of Hannibal Wednesday morning at the American Legion hall.
A patriotic service honoring the heroes of 9/11 was led by members of American Legion Post 55 of Hannibal Wednesday morning at the American Legion hall.
"Today we celebrate the survivors, the heroes of September 2001," said American Legion Commander Ronn Pashia. "Those family members that struggled on, those gallant coworkers that continue to face adversity and death daily, and this nation as a whole, that pulls together and hopefully prays for God's blessing and protection, not only for our nation, but the world."
Before introducing the people participating in the service, Pashia led the singing of the National Anthem, after commenting he liked to have everyone sing it, not just one person.
Mayor Roy Hark shared his memories of Sept. 11, 2001, reporting he was out of town at a conference, and when he saw the plane hit one of the towers he at first believed he was watching a movie. When he realized it was real, "I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach," he said.
"Having served 32 years with the fire department and as chief for nine years, when I saw firefighters going in, I knew very well" some would not be coming back out.
Of the 3,000 who lost their lives on 9/11, Hark said, "over 400 were police officers and firemen. ... I thank God for all who try to protect our country. Keep everyone in your prayers, and God bless America."
Judge Rachel Bringer Shepherd said the American dream is still alive, with people "free to assemble, free to speak, able to freely bear arms, vote and travel.
"The American dream and freedoms are very much alive today," Shepherd said. She honored firefighters, veterans and active service members, concluding "America is still a soaring eagle."
Several prayers were led by the Rev. Allen Clark, who serves as chaplain at Hannibal Regional Hospital.
Also introduced at the service were the Rev. Kevin Coates, a member of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, and Hannibal Fire Chief Bill Madore. Perhaps the youngest child present was Adrian Madore, 1-year-old son of Jennifer and Bill Madore.
In addition to flying an American flag at half staff from a high ladder on a fire truck, the Hannibal Fire Department brought its bell and led a bell ceremony to honor the 9/11 victims.
Earlier, as they carried the bell and its table into the Legion hall, HFD engineer Jeff Moore and firefighter Russell Schindler said the bell ceremony is performed to honor fallen firefighters.
HFD member Shane Jaeger, who rang the ceremonial bell during the service, later explained the bell ringing is a very old firefighter tradition, "going back to the horse and wagon" days. They rang the bell going to a call and when they came back, he said. It was their signal in the all-volunteer days of the 1800s.
The five rings, done three times, "signifies everyone has come home," Jaeger said. Now the bell ceremony is performed at funerals of firefighters, signifying their final call (as it was at the 9/11 Memorial Service).
Additional Hannibal firefighters attending included Deputy Chief Mike Benjamin, training officer John Baker, Capt. Mark Van Winkle and retired Assistant Chief Don Benjamin.
After a ceremonial firing squad by Legion members Jess Ornelas, Bill Hesner and Lyle Todd, the service concluded with the playing of Taps on a valveless bugle by Legionnaire Harry Graves.

AT&T Unite Provides Easy To Use Mobile Internet On-The-Go
Jan 04, 2013, 09:30 ET
DALLAS, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* announced today that it will be the exclusive carrier of the AT&T Unite, a 4G LTE mobile hotspot from Sierra Wireless that lets customers take the mobile internet with them on-the-go.**
AT&T Unite has an easy to use 2.4" touchscreen display and can connect up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices, including a guest hotspot for one-time users. Customers can also manage connected devices, change network and device settings and block unwanted devices from joining the network – directly from the screen. AT&T Unite is powered by the nation's largest 4G network. An on-screen meter monitors data consumption, making it easier to track your usage.
Customers purchasing connected devices from AT&T have more options in choosing the plan that's right for them and their mobile devices. Customers can choose one of AT&T's existing individual or family plans or select a shared data plan. With AT&T Mobile Share plans, new and existing customers can share a single bucket of data across smartphones, tablets, and other compatible devices, including the AT&T Unite. Adding a mobile hotspot device to a Mobile Share plan is just $20 a month. ***
"This new mobile hotspot makes customers' lives easier by allowing them to stay connected to family, friends, and work while on-the-go and on any Wi-Fi enabled device," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices and Developer Services, AT&T. "Coupled with our Mobile Share plans, the AT&T Unite is a compelling and valuable option for connecting to the nation's largest 4G network."
AT&T customers have access to the nation's largest 4G network, covering more than 285 million people. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul, and the AT&T Unite is compatible with both. That means AT&T customers are able to enjoy a widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G experience as they move in and out of LTE areas. With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you may be on a much slower 3G network.
