The Word Carrier <t VOLUME XXVII. HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG. ntxmdei: a. SANTEE AGENCY, NEBKASKA. MARCH, i8q8. FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR- OUR platform. For Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes.' We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! And the gospel is the Power of God for their Salvation! A LECTURE TOUR OVER PINE RIDGE RESERVATION. One Saturday afternoon the overland stage from Bushville, Nebraska, brought to us Professor F. B. Riggs of Santee Normal Training Scliool, with his stereopticon and its accompanying apparatus. He came for the benefit of our mission here, and as he talks Dakota fluently, we were much elated over his arrival, and refreshed by his presence. Not knowing that he was coming so soon, I had an appointment to dispense the Lord's Supper at our Wounded Knee station, some eighteen miles east of our home in the agency. An eighteen mile drive before morning service these winter mornings, means a very early breakfast. Altogether we had a long service, and so had to do penance for our much speaking by preparing our noon day luncheon in double quick time, and eating it accordingly. We have an appointment at our church at home, and what ever else we leave undone we must be on time. This day we are in a special baste as Professor Riggs bas an acetylene gas light to arrange, a curtain also to hang, and a lot of preliminaries that belong to a sucessful exhibition of magic lantern slides. Supper also is necessary before the lecture. His subject was "The Life of Our Saviour." Monday morning our trip begi-.s and we set out for the White Clay church, some twenty miles uoith of us, planning to be there at night, as it was more convenient to use a inagic lantern after dark. Our road lies along a creek and the country is thickly settled. The population on tiiis reservation is along the creeks. The Indians do not care to dig wells, so you find few houses on the prairie between the creeks. At White Clay church, Professor Riggs's subject is, "American Civilization." The striking illustrations are in strong contrast to the uncivilized life we have been seeing all day. Penned up on a small reservation all his life, an Indian is too apt to think that the chief end of man is to attend "Beef Issue," and to go after his rations. We consider such lectures as these a very important factor in trying to raise this people to become good citizens of the Republic, as well as of the Kingdom of Heaven. A few years ago the Hostiles burned our church at this station, but we are glad to have it rebuilt as it has become quite a center of attraction. At too many points here, the Omaha Dance House is the chief attraction. We notice also that a man who is prominent in the dance is, invariably, an unprofitable addition. He has to give up the dance, before he can feel at home in the church. Tuesday morning is occupied with a funeral service. This over, we continue o~ir journey north to our station at Short Bull's Camp on the White River. We are now about a half day's drive from the Black Hills. It is a drive of some fifteen miles from the church at White Clay to Short Bull's. Chief Short Bull has always been a leader in the Ghost Dance, from which came the outbreak here of 1890. His camp is known as a hostile camp, and it is but recently that any Government or mission work has been carried on there. After going to this camp for some time, we found sufficient encouragement to try to make it a station, with a regular cateehist. As no help for new work was available from the Home Board, we were forced to fall back upon our Native Indian Missionary Society. The Indians got out a lot of logs for a house, and I put it up with their help, and now we have a very encouraging station there. Here, that night, Professor Riggs found a larger audience than could be seated. Having reached the northern limit of our mission field, we retrace our weary way of about thirty- five miles back to the Agency, on Wednesday, to find a crowded house. Here he lectured again, showing interesting views, with instructive explanations, of his recent travels in Europe, winding up with the extinct animals of South Dakota and Nebraska. Thursday forenoon while the poor horses were resting their weary legs the mercury had jumped from away below zero to far above freezing point. As a consequence, the snow has melted and instead of a hard road we have an eighteen mile drive to Wounded Knee through mud or "gumbo" (in Western phraseology). Hence we make very poor time on this day's journey. Dark overtakes us long before we get there. And it is very dark—no stars—nothing but black clouds above and bad, rough roads beneath, and we are in constant danger of taking a wrong trail, or runningagainst some rough ground or into a wash out and upsetting our buggy, which is rather top heavy. You will pardon my mentioning a few of the articles we carried. First is a lunch box with food and dishes sufficient for two men for a week, a very large sack of grain to supply the team for a week as the horses must have all the grain they can eat in order to do the work. Next are our blankets or bed. Enough to put under us, to make the hard floor of churches and school houses feel soft. Enough over us to keep us warm in a cold house, when the thermometer is ten or fifteen degrees below zero. Then we had a trunk, (not so very small either,) to hold the large tank with all its fixtures for generating gas for an acetelyne light of 500 candle power. Another trunk filled with lantern, slides, and all the appliances for giving science lectures to the school children. Then stowed away somewhere in the corners of the buggy were two valises with necessities for travelling overland in winter and its possible emergencies. Also a large jug of water for drinking purposes and cooking at such times as we should camp on the prairie where there was no wa ter. Besides water, we must then have wood. For we have to stop to eat and to let the horses eat. I have found by sad experience that it does not pay to take too many cold lunches at noon on the open prairie, particularly in winter. Food warmed, a cup of hot coffee around a bright fire is more helpful to a hungry traveller. On the top of these trunks and valises, we had to tie on a big bale of hay for our team the first night out. Besides we must have a long rope to fasten one horse to feed on grass, and a pair of hobbles to keep his mate from wandering too far off, an axe to cut the wood for our fire, a frying pan and a coffee pot, and other cooking utensils, a lantern and supply of kerosene. This made our buggy quite full and heavy. Friday morning we leave our chapel at Wounded Knee, for Corn Creek church, some thirty miles northeast of Wounded Knee. Once in a while we see some houses away off in the distance—occasionally some trees—no water. As there are no schoolhouses or any stopping places, we build a fire at noon, and "camp out". A few miles before we reach our mission station at Corn Creek we see many Indian teepees in Yellow Bear's camp, so we turn out of our road to see what they are doing. They are all grouped around the big Omaha dance house. It is Friday and they bave come to dance and perform their heathenish rites. We see Indians all the way from Wounded Knee Creek. We are pained to see also a lot of church attendents here, whom we hoped to have come forward and profess faith in Christ. We try to persuade them to come to the service at the church at night and see all the fine pictures, but it is of no use. Heathenism is too old and Christianity too weak as yet, in their psychological make up, for them to think of leav-. ing the dance to go to church, consequently that night we had a small audience. A twenty mile drive next day (Saturday) brought us to our station on American Horse Creek. Here we use the school-house. Another fifteen mile drive early next morning, Sunday, and we arrive at our mission on Porcupine Tail Creek. Here we are welcomed by W. K. Morris and his good wife. We are in good time for the morning service, and spend the Sabbath here. Next morning we start for Stinking Water Creek, about twenty miles south. It is snowing fast, and the snow is so deep in places that it is not very easy to distinguish the right trail. The prairie here is a net work of cross roads going in every direction, and tbey are often painfully confusing when there is no house or definite land mark in sight to guide you. There is no church nor scliool house at this place, so we have to find a dwelling house for our meeting. On Tuesday we are expected at Spring Creek, but as that is only ten miles distant, we spend most of the day in house to house work, holding family prayer meetings and instructing the children in Gospel truths. At Spring Creek there is no public building, so we have to hold forth in a private house. Here we found Brother Morris waiting to take Prof. Riggs back to Porcupine for the further enlightenment of the natives, and I returned home, arriving Wednesday afternoon.—Rev. A. F. Johnson in Tlie Evangelist. PROGRESS OF THE SANTEE SIOUX INDIANS. The progress of the Santee Indians is noticeable in some persons more than others. The progress of course is not all in one direction, but the complex civilization tbat is offered to us by our white brethern is imitated as near as our limited intellect tells ns. Our mistakes may be many, and our intellect may mislead us, and our desires for old times may be strong and often overpower us, yet we are striving to do, not perhaps the very best we know, but as far as we are capable without constraining our animal or fleshly desires. I know of an instance here lately. One of our Santee families, who put their beloved child, a boy, and their only child of suitable age at scliool at Santee Normal Training School. For some reason or other he ran away to bis home which is about four or five miles from the school. He had done this several times, but was quietly brought back every time, and each time he was earnestly requested not to do so any more. The boy again made another break and ran away. He was almost at the door of his home when seen by his father from tbe barn and was called to halt, the boy obeyed. Just then the mother came out and the father gave orders not to let the son in but whip him right there. The mother took a switch and executed the order, and the boy was ordered to return to the school without entering bis beloved home. He started back as he was ordered. The father resumed his work at the barn but noticed the boy that he went out of sight behind the nearest hill towards the school and after a while stuck his head over the peak. But the keen eyes of the father saw it, and mounted one of his ponies and took along switch and made for the- boy : he overtook him and switched him and made him run all the way back to the school. Every time he lessened his steps he got the switch to remind him and so the boy was back at school within eight hours. 1 call it progress for Indians to be able to do this. I doubt whether many of our white brethren would have heart enough to perform this same duty. Wben you can see such eagerness in an Indian for the education of his descendants, mind you, he will have it. This Indian is John B. Walker and I wish we had many John B. Walk- ! ers as far as education is concerned. And I have no do.ubt but that young Walker has learned a great lesson and will never run away again. I want to watch this boy as an object lesson. I hope he will get great benefit from this Bible lesson tbat his father has applied. Jas. Gaevie. Santee Normal Training School Press, Santee Agency, Neb.

Wingate, N.C.- The Brevard College women's basketball team used a 22-9 run in the second half to erase an 11-point halftime deficit, but fell just short in a 63-59 loss to the Wingate Bulldogs in Cuddy Arena on Saturday afternoon.
With the Tornados down 61-57 and less than a minute remaining, BC's Micheala Watkins picked the pocket of Wingate guard Sarah Wollett and fed the ball to Shelby Wolfe for a fastbreak layup with 36 seconds left.
Brevard immediately fouled, sending Wingate's Sharee Boyd to the line for a one-and-one. Boyd missed the front end but the Bulldogs gathered the rebound and Janitsha Williams drew a foul for the Bulldogs with :15 left in the game.
Williams hit both free throws to push WU's lead to four and put the Tornados away for good.
Shelby Wolfe dropped a career-high 17 points to lead a BC attack that saw four Tornados score in double figures. Tempestt Mack posted a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
The Tornados evened the score at 51-51 with 5:40 reamining in the game after trailing by as many as 13 in the second half.
Freshman Tuccoa Brackett finished with 15 points and seven rebounds, while Watkins finished with 13 points, four assists and three steals.
The Tornados return to Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday to host the Wolves of Newberry College at 6 p.m. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, are at Anderson on Wednesday night.

Formula One's feeder series stayed out in Bahrain for a second successive weekend, with Lotus GP hoping to repeat their brilliant triple-podium performance. However, a poor qualifying session made Race 1 rather frustrating.
Both cars sat out practice in order to save tyres, but found the track conditions were very different come quali without the benefit of sticky F1 rubber. Traffic, too, cost the team dearly. Esteban Gutiérrez could only muster P13. Team-mate James Calado continued to struggle with the balance issues that dogged him a week ago, and lined up 22nd.
Esteban made a good start but then tangled with a rival and had to pit for a new front wing, dropping him to 21st. It made sense to change tyres too, but this meant his second stint was painfully long. He fought hard for a points-paying position and, with a post-race penalty for Felipe Nasr, was rewarded with 10th. Calado's woes continued. He stalled on the grid and had to start from the pitlane. His ill-handling car destroyed the front tyres and he had no choice but to pit twice for new boots and finally finished 17th.
Race 2 proved a stronger showing for Lotus' Mexican. Esteban sliced through the field up to third but with the chequered flag in sight the tyres started to crumble and he was forced to settle for fourth. Calado's race was slightly happier than his last, with a number of overtaking opportunities coming his way. He finished 12th, a five-place improvement on where he started.
Esteban Gutiérrez : "My wing was badly damaged at the start of Race 1, and that made life very difficult. Not only did I drop to the back of the field, but I had to wait for the pitstop window to open so as to avoid two-stopping. In the circumstances, we adopted the best strategy we could and I was also very happy with the balance of the car. I was able to fight back and, thanks to another driver's penalty, I earned one point – so the day could have been worse. Race 2 was very interesting. I pushed very hard at the start and made some decisive passes. However, this cost me tyres and I paid the price for it at the end. Fourth place is not so bad, but I know I could have finished on the podium had qualifying been better. Having said that, we have a quick car and that gives us confidence."
James Calado: "It was a terrible weekend with the same car handling troubles we had last weekend. We thought we had fixed it but the car was under-steering and it was destroying my front tyres, I just couldn't find any grip. We changed everything we could: dampers, suspension and everything. We have to fix the handling problem in time for the Spanish races. I know what this team is capable of, and I will keep the faith."

PICTOU - Scott Jones says it was easy to forgive the man who left him for dead on a downtown street last October, but he is having a difficult time determining if justice was done.
The 28-year-old stabbing victim read his victim impact statement in Pictou Supreme Court Thursday during the sentencing of 20-year-old Shane Edward Matheson who is charged with his attempted murder.
"Shane, nothing can justify what you have done, but I forgive you for what you have done," he said.
Matheson lifted his head when Jones spoke his name and listened quietly as Jones gave him forgiveness. Jones said he suffers from chronic pain, ongoing infections, depression and anxiety as a result of the stabbing. He said he is limited now on how he enjoys many of the things in life he was passionate about, including his music, nature and exercise.
"I struggle with my emotions and the public's perception of my disability," he said. "This attack has shaken me to the core."
Matheson pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted murder in relation to the October 2013 stabbing of Jones, who was a well-known Pictou County musician. He was sentenced to 10 years on the attempted murder charge and must pay more than $11,000 in restitution back to Jones, many of the bills he incurred during his rehabilitation and the need for assisted living devices. Justice Nick Scaravelli gave Matheson credit for time served so he has nine years left of his sentence.
Matheson also took the opportunity to address Jones, saying he was sorry for what happened that night.
"Mr. Jones I am sorry I put you in that chair," he said. "I didn't know you and I don't know why I did it. I apologize to your family and friends for putting you through this."
Jones said following the sentencing that he was grateful to hear that Matheson was remorseful for his actions.
"It gave me a lot of relief," he said. "In terms of the sentence, nothing is going to bring back my ability to walk so the idea of justice confuses me. Whether he got 25 years or seven years, it's not going to bring back justice."
However, he said, he was able to forgive Matheson because of the support he has received from family and friends which is something the accused never experienced since the court heard many times of his difficult childhood.
"It's been a journey surrounded by people that care and love me and who have been so supportive," he said. "When you have that love around you and you consider someone who hasn't had that love around them at all their whole life, it is easy to arrive at forgiveness. I don't think people are born that way, but I don't think they are born with the ability to try and kill someone. That happens throughout life. There is some good in Shane and I hope he has some rehabilitation and realizes to the full extent what he has done and leaves prison a better person."
Crown Attorney Jody McNeill said he was pleased Scaravelli took the Crown's recommendation of 10 years into account. He said many factors weighed into the sentence including the brutality of the crime, the nature of the offence and the age of Matheson as well as rehabilitation.
"The real story today that impressed me was the courage and inner strength of Scott Jones," he said. "I am really impressed with the mannerr he approached this."
Jones said in earlier interviews that Matheson attacked him out of hatred for him being gay, but McNeill said there wasn't evidence to support that allegation.
However, Jones said today that he was still feels that this was a hate crime despite what was read in court.
"Unless you were standing in my shoes, you might not understand it, but my encounter with Shane prior to running into him on the street and just how he was coming towards me that way, that leads me to believe it was hate crime. Whether it was an hour long motive or just came two minutes after seeing me on the street, I don't know. Again, that is my opinion and it might be wrong."
During a statement of facts read by McNeill, the court was told that Jones was out with friends on October 12, 2013 and left a downtown New Glasgow business around 2:25 a.m. Matheson left the same business at the same time and and walked towards the direction of the Roseland Cabaret.
He said Jones remembers being approached by a tall, red haired man and then falling to the ground and not being able to feel his legs. Police found Jones lying on the sidewalk and he was quickly transported to hospital with two stab wounds in his mid back, one of which severed his spinal cord and resulted in paralysis, and he had two slashes on his throat.
Jones told the police he thought he remembered seeing the red haired stranger earlier in the evening.
A friend of Matheson's who was with him at the time of the incident said Jones and Matheson were shouting to each other from a distance and then Matheson ran towards Jones and made stabbing motions. Video footage shows two men running away from the scene and two knives were located in some bushes near J.R. Raheys in downtown New Glasgow. One of the knives resembled a kitchen knife.
McNeill said Matheson texted his girlfriend shortly after stabbing and said "something really bad has happened".
"I really hurt someone," he told her. "I I stabbed someone and tried to slit his throat."
He sent a similar text to his sister that said, "I ran up and sliced this guy's throat and tried to stab him".
Defence lawyer Stephen Robertson said he has known Matheson since was 12 years old when he represented him in youth court. He said his client has had a difficult childhood that involved being placed in custody of child services as early as two years old and has been exposed to domestic abuse as well as having his own mental health issues.
Robertson said Matheson's relationship with his mother has been strained because of her "lack of parenting" over the years, but he has been working to rebuild that relationship since he has been in prison.
"His mother blames herself for his lack of parenting skills and he didn't have a good upbringing," he said.
He said Matheson is truly remorse for his actions that October night and wishes it never happened.
"If he had been sober and not taken the pills, he would have realized what he was doing and probably would have passed Mr. Jones by," he said.
In rendering his sentence, Scaravelli said he considered the fact that Matheson is remorseful and open to taking rehabilitative services, but he said crime has had a devastating impact on the victim.
"Mr, Jones has not recovered from his injuries, he can't walk without assisted devices, he struggles with chronic pain and requires assistance for his day to day tasks," he said, adding that Jones also suffers significant financial burdens because of lack of employment and medical costs.
He said doctor reports show that Jones' wounds could have been fatal.
"I recognize you had a troubled upbringing and your experience in prison will not be pleasant," said Scaravelli to Matheson. "You can lean on your past and choose to do nothing or accept the services in prison and become a member of society."
The justice said he was specifically requesting that Matheson attend mental health and addiction services at the earliest opportunity during his time in prison.

Meningococcal disease is quite rare but can be life threatening. The bacteria causing the disease Neisseria Meningitides, can cause meningitis and septicemia (blood poisoning). This particular bacterium is only one possible cause for meningitis (an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Other possible causes for meningitis include other families of bacteria and some viruses.
Meningococcal disease is uncommon. In the U.S. each year there are about 2500 cases (1-2 cases for every 100,000 people). Approximately 100 of these cases occur on college or university campuses.
Overall, undergraduate students have lower risk than a non-student population. However, college freshman living in residence halls have a modesty increased incidence of infection. Reasons for this increase are not fully understood but are related to living in close proximity to each other and to certain risk factors, such as overexertion, smoking and binge drinking.
The bacteria are transmitted from person-to-person in secretions from the nose and throat. They are not spread by casual contact or by simply breathing the air near an infected person, but require close contact. Fortunately, none of the bacteria that cause meningitis are as contagious as things like the common cold or the flu.
Approximately 10% of the general population carries the bacteria in their nose and throat at any given time. Why only a very small number of those who have the bacteria in their nose and throat develop disease, while others remain healthy is not fully understood.
Early symptoms usually associated with meningococcal meningitis include high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, rash, nausea, vomiting and lethargy, and may resemble the flu. Because the disease progresses rapidly, often in as little as 12 hours, prompt diagnosis and treatment are important to assuring recovery.
You can protect yourself by maintaining good health and hygiene. You should wash your hands frequently and avoid sharing materials that make mouth contact such as eating utensils, water bottles, drinking cups, cigarettes, or lip balm. Behaviors which weaken an individual's immune system can increase your risk of infection.
Recently the Advisory Committee in Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that children 11-12 years old and teens entering high school, as well as college freshman living in dormitories receive a newly licensed meningococcal vaccine. Meningococcal vaccination is also recommended for persons at above average risk for meningococcal disease, including persons with certain immune system problems, those lacking a spleen and travelers to certain countries.
The vaccine is comprised of 4 strains of bacteria but does not include type B which accounts for nearly one-third of meningococcal cases in 15-24 year olds in the United States . The vaccine prevents individuals from being carriers of the bacteria. Protection is estimated to last 8 years.
The Marquette University Medical Clinic offers the vaccine. Students may call (414) 288-7184 to make an appointment to receive the immunization. The immunization is also usually available through your primary care clinic.

Hi guys,
i've got a little problem with the new nvidia dirver. I'm using the BT4 pre final version on my usb stick with presistent changes as my second OS. I installed the new driver I've found on the nvidia hompage.
Everything works great, nice graphics no jerks. But if I want to reboot the system the screen turns into black and I can't do anything.
If i turn off the powercord, reboot the system, the xorg.conf is restored to the old one which is not using the nvidia driver.
I've got the self phenomenon if I want to change the runlevel to init 3 or switch it by using the control+alt+Fx keys.
I also looked at the log-files but anything seems normal.
So after tying google and other searchengines, I hope anyone knows a solution for my problem or can tell me "hey guy its bug and we try to fix it in the final"
I use the GeForce9100M G
thank's for reading and please apologize my bad gramma.

Olympus PEN EP3 image quality reviewWednesday July 13 2011 Sensor Review
We have tested the Olympus PEN EP3, the latest 4/3 camera by Olympus, and the first results show that its sensor performance is pretty much the same as for the Olympus PEN EPL2 and Olympus E5.
Nevertheless, comparing it to the upcoming Sony NEX C3 should be interesting, as they are both in the EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) camera category.
Olympus PEN EP3, a good micro 4/3 sensor already familiar to us
Tests show that the new Olympus EP3 provides measurements similar to the previous Olympus models. In spite of its good results, we still encountered some old problems:
- The EP3 achieves a low-light ISO score of only 536, which is significantly lower in comparison with the results of some of the latest APS-C sensors (for example, the Sony NEX C3's low-light ISO score is 1083).
- The Olympus PEN EP3 has still the same behavior in low ISO for dynamic range, and its score at minimum ISO does not increase as expected (+1 EV compared to the next ISO).
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Olympus PEN EP2 vs Olympus PEN EPL2
Color sensitivity measurements vary slightly, and while this difference shouldn't be noticeable on natural images, it is precisely this difference that explains the gaps between the DxOMark scores of the 3 models.
See the full comparison here: Olympus PEN EP3 vs Olympus PEN EP2 vs Olympus PEN EPL2
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Sony NEX C3
Now this is an interesting comparison: Olympus PEN EP3 vs Sony NEX C3.
At first sight, this comparison is rather unfair, as the Olympus sensor is smaller; however, as we said earlier, they are both EVIL cameras — a category of interchangeable-lens cameras that some photography enthusiasts and professionals rely on for every-day use to take everywhere, without the bulk and weight of DSLRs.
They are both EVIL cameras; what are their main differences?
The Olympus PEN EP3 and the Sony NEX C3 follow two different schools of industrial design. Sony prefers to use DSLR-sized sensors in its EVIL offerings, and therefore must also use DSLR-sized lenses. This gives the NEX series small bodies but rather big lenses.
The Olympus/Panasonic school or 4/3 format uses smaller sensors for consequently smaller camera bodies, which then require obviously smaller lenses. Keep these small camera/lens combinations in mind if size is a deal-breaker for your next camera.
We will have to wait for the measurement results for the other announced models (PEN EPL3, PEN EPM1 and Panasonic GF3) to have a broader view of the technical improvements for this micro 4/3 camera.
Other interesting EVIL camera comparisons:
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Panasonic GF2
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Samsung NX100
Compared to the high-end Fuji X100 compact camera:
Compared to the best high-end compacts available:
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Canon Powershot G12 vs Canon Powershot S95
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Nikon P7000 vs Samsung EX1
Olympus PEN EP3 vs Panasonic LX5
Further readings for the Olympus PEN EP3 image quality review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Introduced this past summer, the PEN E-PL3 and PEN E-PM1 are the latest micro-four-thirds cameras from Olympus. These 2 new models are intended to complete the PEN EP3 series and thus offer a whole range of compact cameras with interchangeable lenses. Each model offers a different set of controls with a different size, depending on whether you need more directly-accessible controls while shooting, or if you favor a pocketable camera. But as we'll see, given that they're based on the same sensor as the PEN EP3, these cameras perform equally well (or poorly) in term of image quality.

Per Kobe Bryant, the prevailing message delivered by Mike D'Antoni on his first day as the coach of the Lakers on Thursday was short and to the point. | Photos: Lakers introduce D'Antoni at packed news conference | Stories: The return of 'Showtime' | Bonsignore: D'Antoni, Bryant ready to 'just win' | Painter: 'Championship' talk
No long-winded speeches. No complicated explanations to clarify a fancy-named offense that would have flown over his players' heads or, even worse, been ignored.
D'Antoni isn't big on complex and intricate, two qualities his predecessor, Mike Brown, seemed to revel in and the very trait the Lakers hoped to avoid by passing on Phil Jackson in favor of D'Antoni to replace Brown.
The simpler the better, as far as D'Antoni is concerned.
Hence the easy-to-understand message he conveyed to the Lakers.
"Let's go kick some (backside)" is how Bryant summed it up.
And with that, a semblance of normalcy returned to the three-ring circus that took over the most successful sports franchise in town.
After three straight days of the embarrassingly trite "they-said, he-said" melodrama between the Lakers and Jackson, who claims he was duped and disrespected by the Purple and Gold by stringing him along in their search to replace Brown, it was finally back to what's really important around here.
"Win the championship," D'Antoni said simply, unafraid of setting the bar too high or running away from expectations.
"We have a window here," he added. "And we hope to climb through it."
Along with playing a fan-friendly brand of basketball that's heavy on fun, accentuating individual talents, lightning-quick possessions and running the floor, and short on the slow-it-down, complicated, boring offense that doomed Brown and one Jackson was itching to utilize again.
So long Princeton and Triangle and low-scoring, grind-it out games.
And hello to the new fast-breaking, high-flying, pick-and-rolling, point guard-driven Lakers.
"If we're not scoring 110, 115 points we're gonna have to talk," D'Antoni said.
Why, that sounds almost Showtime-esque.
That's kind of the whole reason D'Antoni is here.
You don't assemble the kind of talent the Lakers did this summer by acquiring All-Stars Steve Nash and Dwight Howard and adding them to their already star-laden core of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace and then suck the life out of their individual skills - and entertainment value - by running a slow-paced offense nobody could grasp.
Brown tried that and it cost him his job.
Had Jackson been brought back, he would have dragged the Lakers down the same path.
Been there, done that, folks. And while that style worked for Jackson in two prior go-arounds with the Lakers, those were different times and different players.
With Nash and Howard on board, the dynamics have changed.
Brown never understood that, foolishly telling the best point guard of his generation to stand over in the corner and wait for the ball to matriculate to him and planting Howard stoically in the post and telling him to wait for the ball to get dumped in to him.
That's a complete misuse of assets, and there is every reason to believe Jackson would have mismanaged Nash by sticking him in the Triangle.
D'Antoni won't make that mistake.
He'll put the ball in Nash's hands and let him orchestrate the same offense he and D'Antoni utilized in four brilliant seasons with the Phoenix Suns.
And that means tons of pick-and-rolls with Howard, the most mobile center of his generation.
"I pick, roll to the basket and dunk," Howard said. "It's pretty simple."
It's giving players the freedom to make plays naturally, not be rooks, bishops and pawns in a complicated game of chess.
That's what D'Antoni's done his entire career. It's what made him an appealing candidate to the Lakers.
And it's the reason they passed on Jackson.
"It's not as simple as rolling a ball out. But it's somewhere in between rolling the ball out and a very structured offense," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "This league is really about players. There's no secret the NBA is marketing the players and ridiculous abilities as athletes and the things they can do on the court. So it's about the players. The more opportunities you give them to display their ability, the more possessions on the offensive and defensive side, the true talent will come through.
"In theory, we feel the same way. We have a great group of talented players. Let's give them the most chances to show and display the ability."
It's not quite the return to the Showtime-era Lakers, but with Nash running the point, Kobe on the wing, Gasol at the four and Howard anchoring the middle, the possibilities are tantalizing.
"They may have been the best at doing that," D'Antoni said of the 1980s Lakers. "But we'd like to get close to that."
That should be music to Lakers' fans ears, even the ones still smarting over the supposed slight on Jackson - and that means you, Magic Johnson.
The Lakers didn't need another dose of the triangle offense, they needed a coach who recognizes the immense talent on hand and constructs an offense that enables it rather than disables it.
It's time to bury slow-ball and embrace the high-tempo style D'Antoni utilized to run circles around Jackson and the Lakers in two playoff meetings in the mid-2000s.
"Make it easy and let these guys do what they do," D'Antoni said.
He's convinced the Lakers can win playing that style, believes it so deeply he climbed out of his bed shortly after knee-replacement surgery and practically hopped all the way from New York to Los Angeles - crutches and all - just for the chance to work with Nash, Howard, Bryant, Gasol and Co.
While Jackson asked for two days to think about whether he wanted to return to the sideline, D'Antoni looked at his wife, Laurel, after getting off the phone with Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and said: "Are you kidding me? Is this happening?"
It did happen.
And while some Lakers fans will be slow to embrace D'Antoni, still clinging to the memory of Jackson, they'll come around in time.
"Just win and everything will be fine," D'Antoni said.
How easy is that?

Washington, D.C. -- will speak Feb. 4.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Kentucky's chief
civil rights officer will speak Tuesday, Feb. 4, at Lindsey Wilson
Kentucky Commission on Human Rights Executive
Director John J. Johnson will speak at 7 p.m. CT on
Tuesday, Feb. 4, in W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall, 155
Blue Raider Drive. His talk is free and open to the
Johnson will speak about the commission, its
founding and its work over the last half-century. This spring marks
a seminal event in the history of the Kentucky civil rights
On March 5, the civil rights community will
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the of the Civil Rights
March on Frankfort.
The march -- which included the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr., former professional baseball player Jackie Robinson, and
the folk group Peter, Paul and Mary -- was credited as helping end
segregation and helped make Kentucky the first state south of the
Mason-Dixon Line to have a state civil rights law.
The march drew 10,000 people who marched to the
Capitol steps to protest discrimination against blacks in
restaurants, hotels and other public accommodations.
The march also helped build support for the U.S.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and helped result in the Kentucky Civil
Rights Act of 1966.
Johnson, 69, has been active in the human rights
movement since he was 18. He was one of the youngest presidents of
a chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People when he was tapped for the position at 19 in his
hometown of Franklin, Ky.
Johnson also pushed for integration of city pools,
and he led the fight against an effort to name Lawrence A. Rainey
the head of Franklin's police department. Rainey was the sheriff of
Neshoba County, Miss., where he gained notoriety for his alleged
involvement with the deaths and cover-ups of three civil rights
workers. An alleged member of the Ku Klux Klan, Rainey was depicted
in the 1988 film Mississippi Burning.
Johnson has monitored elections in South Africa;
helped oversee funeral arrangements for civil rights pioneer Rosa
Parks; and helped launch a much-praised NAACP voter-registration
Since 2007, Johnson has led the groundbreaking
Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, which has its main offices in
Louisville and has the authority to investigate complaints of
discrimination in the areas of employment, public accommodations,
housing and financial transactions, based on race, color, age,
gender, nationality, disability, and religion, and in the area of
housing, also familial status.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Kendall Williams did a little bit of everything to help New Mexico rout Air Force.
He had 11 points, seven assists, six rebounds and four steals for the 15th-ranked Lobos in their 81-58 win Wednesday night.
|More on college basketball
|Related links
"He's our guy," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said. "He recognizes the change in defenses. I thought he was vocal tonight. Maybe at times a little too vocal. But that's when Kendall is at his best. I thought he just led our team really well. He did a lot of good things."
With fellow guard Hugh Greenwood adding five rebounds and the inside duo of Cameron Bairstow and Alex Kirk combining for 17 rebounds, New Mexico (20-3, 7-1 Mountain West) was able to control the boards by a 39-24 advantage. The Lobos enjoyed a 13-4 edge on the offensive glass.
It was a key to the game, said Falcons coach Dave Pilipovich.
"Their size hurt us," he said. "Their offensive rebounding and their strength and length and size on the glass. Their inside scoring. The things that we knew coming in that we had to take away, we just didn't do as well as we needed to put ourselves into a position to win the game."
Air Force used a 9-3 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Kyle Green with 9:15 remaining to cut the lead to 57-51.
But New Mexico went on a 14-1 spurt, with the Falcons' only point coming when Todd Fletcher converted one of two foul shots following a technical after a brief confrontation between the coaching staffs at midcourt.
"The exchange of coaches came because we heard an assistant talk to one of our guys," Alford said. "I'm not going to sit back and let that happen. That kind of made things get a little escalated and heated."
New Mexico finished its burst scoring eight straight points.
"I think it was really to our benefit," Alford said of the confrontation. "I'm not sure that the score was before that exchange but after that exchange, it was very good play on our part."
Mike Fitzgerald and Michael Lyons each scored 16 points for the Falcons (14-7, 5-3).

COSTA MESA – A Placentia man who stopped breathing while authorities were trying to arrest him on suspicion of shoplifting from a department store in 2011 died from heart disease and complications with a pacemaker, an investigation by the Orange County District Attorney's Office has concluded.
Authorities did not have any culpability in the death of George Paul Marques, who died at a hospital after a struggle with staffers and officers at Saks Fifth Avenue on May 18, 2011, a letter released Wednesday outlining the results of the district attorney's investigation said.
A security guard at Saks attempted to stop Marques shortly after 4 p.m. after watching him and another man take a pair of sunglasses and leave the store without paying for them, the letter said.
Marques became combative, the District Attorney's Office said, and was fighting off efforts by the security guard and other employees to handcuff him.
Costa Mesa police Officer Gregory Nasser arrived to assist the employees and reportedly knelt on Marques' back as they handcuffed him.
"Marques was a very large man, and it took two sets of handcuffs linked together to secure his hands behind his back," DA investigators wrote in the letter.
As the officer searched for the man who had been seeing leaving the store with Marques, store employees reportedly noticed that Marques, lying face down on the floor, had stopped breathing. Marques was taken to Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana, where he was pronounced dead less than an hour later.
Marques suffered from a coronary blockage, an enlarged heart and heart disease, the report said. Authorities learned he had a pacemaker and had undergone a coronary-bypass procedure. A toxicology examination revealed that Marques also had amphetamine and methamphetamine in his system, investigators said.

So the Washington Stealth players and coaches are doing their best to take in stride the news that they have to play for the National Lacrosse League title not on their home floor, but at the Langley Events Centre in Langley, British Columbia.
Though the Stealth, winners of the West Division, earned the right to host the Champions Cup against the East Division champion Rochester Knighthawks, Saturday's game was moved to Langley because of a scheduling conflict at Comcast Arena in Everett.
The immediate reaction was disappointment.
"I think (Comcast Arena) is a great lacrosse rink," Stealth head coach Chris Hall said. "I think it is a great sporting venue. I think it is wonderfully fan-friendly. I love to coach there. I love the fans. Even at times when we haven't drawn well, the fans that we have there are incredibly supportive and it is an incredibly loud building.
"Where would my first preference to play this game be? It would be in Comcast 100 times out of 100, but it's simply beyond my control."
The Stealth explored several options before moving the game to Langley. They looked at KeyArena in Seattle, where they played the West Division final in 2010, but it was booked. ShoWare Center in Kent also was unavailable and the Tacoma Dome isn't equipped to host lacrosse.
Hall and a small group of people in the Stealth front office found out late last week that should the team advance, the title game would be played in Canada. They didn't tell the players until after the Stealth beat Calgary 14-13 Saturday in the West Division final.
"That was going to be a potential distraction for them and you don't want to think beyond the moment," Hall said. "We had our hands full thinking of how we were going to beat a very good Calgary team. It was something we really felt the players didn't need to know because we had lots of time to deal with it should we be fortunate enough to win."
Following the Stealth's victory, Hall told his players about the change of venue.
"I found out Saturday after the game," forward Lewis Ratcliff said. "I think there were obviously people who knew and I wasn't one of them."
Some of the players suspected a possible conflict, but like Ratcliff, didn't know the game was headed to Langley.
The Stealth have experience playing in Langley. They played a preseason game against the Toronto Rock there in 2011 and the building hosted the Stealth's preseason training camp prior to this season.
Ratcliff and a few other Stealth players call the Langley Events Centre home in the offseason when they play for the Langley Thunder of the Western Lacrosse Association.
"I love playing in Langley because it's my summer arena and it's a great venue," Ratcliff said. "It's close enough to the people in Seattle that they can come up and watch. It's also gives the opportunity for a lot more of my friends and family from Vancouver and Victoria to come to the game."
There are several other players on the Stealth who either live in or have family in southern British Columbia. While there are some positives for them, not playing in the building the Stealth have called home since the team relocated to Everett from San Jose, Calif., prior to the 2010 season isn't ideal.
"It's a little bit disappointing that we don't get a chance to play the game down in Everett because that is home for us and that is where we are most comfortable," defenseman Mike Grimes said. "It's definitely an arena I know visiting teams don't like to come in and play."
Despite the disappointment of not being able to play at Comcast Arena, the Stealth players and coaches said they are thinking about only one thing — bringing a second championship home to Everett.
"We aren't really focused on the venue, more so the opponent that we are playing," Stealth transition player Bob Snider said. "We could play it anywhere, really. We just have to keep our eyes set on what's happening and limit the distractions around us."

LONG BEACH — The city is poised to recover some of the $19.9 million it lost in the Lehman Brothers collapse when the firm begins repaying creditors in April, city officials say.
Long Beach's portion of the estimated $65 billion payout is expected to be no more than 20 percent of the money it invested before the financial giant went bankrupt in 2008, contributing to an escalating global economic crisis.
Assistant City Attorney Heather Mahood said Monday that officials aren't certain if the sum will be paid at once or over time.
"The attorneys have promised us that we are at the end," Mahood said. "We'll be out of the mess."
Lehman Brothers emerged from bankruptcy on March 6 after 3 1/2 years. The bankruptcy was the largest in U.S. history.
Long Beach invested in Lehman on Sept. 3, 2008, 12 days before the company became insolvent.
The investment was made in commercial paper, an unsecured short-term promissory note considered safe since it is typically bought from a corporation that has a high credit rating.
Last year, Long Beach recouped $576,000 of the money in a settlement paid from an insurance policy for the company's directors and officers.
The $35 million fraud lawsuit, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, included the cities of Cerritos, Fremont and South San Francisco.
The case netted $1.05 million. Long Beach received more than half of the total since some of the other participants in the suit invested money up to two years before the Lehman bankruptcy, officials said, giving the city a stronger claim.
Two Los Angeles law firms that were working on contingency for the city were paid $15,300 from the settlement. Legal action is continuing against Ernst & Young, an accounting firm that signed off on audits of the failing investment bank.
On Tuesday, the Long Beach City Council will be asked to add $50,000 to its contract with the law firm representing the city on the Lehman bankruptcy.
If approved, the move would bring the total amount authorized for Woodland Hills-based Ezra, Brutzkus, Gubner LLP to $249,000.
