#17867 - 12/09/02 11:11 AM arpeggiator and midi channels??
eks: Comb D003 (formand & lead) uses the arpeggiator A/B. Timbre 4 is set to midi ch.02 and timbre 5,6 and 7 to midi ch.03. Because of the use of midi channels I can freely play with a sound on all 61 keys. But how do I a simular Comb/preset my self?????
I�ve tryed to copy everything from Comb D003 to another Comb ( I hav�nt used the "write combination" because then there would�nt be a problem) the idea is that I shuold be able to do it my self. But when I finally gets to changing the midi channels I can�t start the arpeggiator anymore, why is that?????
Is it because I have to do it in a specific order or way??????????

First Seen You Got The Wrong Person Last Seen TBD
Profile Benjamin Ryans is an old man with the body of one twenty years younger. He is a man who has always prided himself in the work he did for the Company; even receiving the title of Assistant-Director. With its fall, Ben is now a man wanted by the government; because, he is, now and forever, a man who will try his damnedest to do the right thing, even if it means doing some very questionable things. Even turning to help to the ones he once hunted. One day this old lion will snap back again, till then, he will lay low and lick his wounds.
Born in the 50's to Markus and Helen Ryans. His daddy had been a Navy man, worked on the boats and was gone all the time. So, there was no real father figure at home, most of the time. Ryans was not the easiest child to deal with. He was rowdy, rough, and often got into fights. It was frustrating for his mom when he would come home beaten and bruised and rather proud of it.
By time he reached adolescence, he was a hellion. Even rode an old 50's military Harley Davidson motorcycle. When he decided to join the Army at the young age of 16 in '68, his mother did not hesitate to sign the paperwork that would let him in early. Her hope was that the strict discipline of the military would help him.
At such a young and tender age, Ryans was thrust into the Vietnam War. He was so young and what he experienced there affected him enough that he naively thought that changing branches would keep him away from the danger.
However, after he got out of his naval academy, he spent a portion of Vietnam on a boat. At least, it was well away from the jungles. But as the war progressed, he decided he wanted to face some of the experiences from his short-lived Army days. This in mind, he signed up to be a member of the SEALs. He was accepted, but it was a rough road. BUDs training is said to be one of the most strenuous and he almost didn't make it through. After a disastrous exercise where they were taken away from the coast and dumped into the ocean at night, with the task to navigate back by a map, he was ready to give it up. He had been so off course from his target, that they had really laid into him and humiliated him to a point he just wanted it done. When He walked up to the little bell, he saw the row of Kevlar helmets that are a symbol of those that had quit before him. Something about seeing that line, made him decide to keep going. He didn't want to be labeled a quitter, especially, since some of his actions in the Army had him looked at as a coward.
Determined, he endured the torment, managed to make it through Hell Week and started on his road to be a SEAL. Which landed him back in Vietnam and in the thick of all the action.
While he was in the Navy, he met a pretty little thing, September. She was Ryans' sweetheart during Vietnam. He wrote her while he was over there and all. When he returned to the states, they continued to see each other. It even reached the point where they were engaged, about the time Ryans joined the Company. This is probably part of the reason he couldn't go to college as he had hoped. However, his position within the Company was very work heavy and he ended up a very busy man, traveling a lot. It ended up breaking them apart and they went their own separate ways. Russo's mom found out she was pregnant afterward and decided not to tell Ben… or their son.
He was a part of SEAL Team 4 when he spent the last year of the Vietnam War on the river of the dense jungles. While he was there he was always walking a fine line that could have ended with him as court martialed, but for reasons that were important to him. The LT that oversaw their group was a fresh-faced college kid who had not seen action, unlike the men under his command. He was also, in Ryans' opinion, an idiot. Doing stupid stuff, that if Ryans did not talk him out of, that would have killed them all. He spent a lot of his time giving the man other options and talking him into other courses of action. When Ryans was finally sent back to the states, those he left behind were killed when the same LT made a bad decision. It was not long after that incident that the war officially ended. The guilt has stuck with him every day since. Always wondering, if he had been there to discourage those orders, maybe they might have all lived. It is a time in his life he barely ever talks about.
Reaching the rank of Master Chief, he turned to the task of training the next generation of SEALs. This only lasted until they decided, in 1977, to push him take the officers exam. That was when Ryans knew it was time to get out. He did not spend enough time in to retirement, but he personally felt once you became an officer your intelligence was sucked out.
When he left the military, he had a lot of plans set in his mind. He was going to get back to college, get a degree, and get a good job, but…. BUT, things do not always work out how you would like them too. So, he was stuck saving up money and working in a garage in New York. He took night classes when he could afford them, but he was facing a very long road ahead.
Others had different plans for him.
He never quite knew how they got his military records, but the agents that showed up at the garage changed his life and gave him new purpose. They told him that they had been watching him for some time, ever since before he joined the Navy. He was given a speech about a world people hidden beneath the surface of modern society and of the duty they had to protect people from individuals with special powers. He was pretty sure they were full of bullshit, but then one of them showed him just how wrong he was.
Two years after the Company was founded, Ryans entered their ranks. He felt more suited for this work than fixing cars, maybe because it took him back to his time in the military. It was challenging and dangerous. He quickly became a field agent, bagging and tagging some of the worst evolved with his partners. There are times he wonders how he survived for so long, even outlived two evolved partners.
While he was made for the life, there ever events that occurred that had him doubting the Company and how they did things. When Adam betrayed them all, he almost left; but his partner convinced him to stay and help prevent the idiots from taking over. Experience told him how that could end. So he stayed, but the seeds of doubt were planted.
Outside of his work, he managed to find a life. While at the grocery store one day, he met his wife. Mary was a checker at the store and was at least a good ten years younger than him. It had been her red hair that grabbed his attention and it was her smile that hooked him. He walked out of there with her number and a promise of a date. It was a whirlwind romance that left him dizzy and married by the end of that year, but he was happier than he had been for some time.
The down side of it all was that his work had to stay a secret. He felt shitty about it, but that's the breaks. As far as his wife knew he was a sales man for Primatech Paper Company, traveling all over the world to sell paper and paper accessories.
The first of his two girls were born in 1989… followed by another a short year later. After the second girl was born, they decided no more! They had only really been aiming for the one child, but the second had been a total surprise. He loved his girls, but he was gone a lot on business. A part of him felt like he was becoming his dad, but like his dad what he did was for his family to make the world a safer place. Still did not make it easy to see their sad faces when he had to walk out the door again.
He was off in Seattle chasing down an evolved man, who had inadvertently slaughtered a restaurant full of people, when the Midtown Man exploded. He and his partner at the time had just gotten the guy zapped, depowered, and ready for transport to level 5 when he got a frantic call from his youngest. Mary had told them that she was headed to Midtown that morning and the girls could not get a hold of her. So Ryans got on the first plane home for New York and rushed home to his girls. Sadly, in the weeks following they found Mary's remains within the wreckage of one of the buildings.
Both his girls were still in High School and needed their daddy more than ever now. This kind of put him in a tough place. Though in truth he had been with the Company for nearing thirty years, maybe it was time to retired and enjoy a calmer life. So, after so many years of loyal service he retired to take care of his girls.
It was not easy to take care of two teenagers. The way he did things and the way his wife had were completely different; and, the girls chafed under his rules. Ryans especially had a big problem with the boys his girls brought home, a lot of them were punks and rowdy… just like he had been. His favorite line to his girls was, 'I was a boy just like him and I know what I was thinking back then.' That of course got a lot of 'Ewww! Daddy!' but he never let up. None of them were good enough.
When the Linderman act came about, Ryans felt some relief. To him this was the start of a better life for his girls. To him the registration for evolved was a good thing. Keeping records of them all might help keep them in check. Now he knows not all evolved are bad his liked his partners, but this a good idea.
When his girls were at school, Ryans found he had a lot of free time on his hands. Though he occasionally grabbed lunch with some of the people from his time with the Company; those times were few and far between and that left him at home twiddling his thumbs. He ended up taking up gardening. He had started with potted plants on the back porch of their home and somehow ended up turning their backyard into a garden. It was not as exciting and stimulating as bagging and tagging, but it was something.
Who was he kidding.
He missed the old life, but a part of him felt like he could not go back to it. With both his girls finally graduated from High School and enthusiastic to go off to start their lives, Ryans' life became bland and boring. He spent his days tending his garden, bowling with some of the other guys, and still he kept in touch with some of his old buddies from the Company. It never occurred to him to ask for his job back, especially as those he had worked with slowly left the Company's fold.
However, his life started to chafe him, after the maniac Mortimer blew up Primatech paper…. some of the people he knew died in that assault. Many friends and agents, he helped train perished. It felt like after he left, the evolved became much too bold, were starting to get out of control. While he saw FRONTLINE as a danger to the Company, he also agreed that it could have been good for the country. Those evolved men and women would be under the control of the government. Not that the US government is not flawless. He knows it has it has its share of idiots.
Little did he know that his life would take a turn that would test those ideals and set him on a path he never expected to take.
But to learn about that, you will have to go check out his Logs
He is a man that has seen a lot in his life time, from the jungles of Nam to his years of bagging evolved that leaves a person kind of hollow. When he's on a mission he can kind of fall into a zone that makes him appear to be calm with no emotion, it leaves him free to do what needs to be done.
This helps with Ryans ability to appear and sound calm in a tense situation. People will pick up the emotions of others in their body language and tone of voice. So, when others might be showing fear or panic, Ryans' voice and demeanor remains for the most part calm. Not to say he isn't in a panic on the inside or worried… but he tried to be the calm in the storm when he can.
When a person first sees him he just seems rather sad, like a man with a lot weighing on his mind. He's a rather quiet man despite the rumbling of his voice that could carry across a room. He's very serious about his job when he has one, not one for shirking his duty if he can help it.
When it comes to friends and family he is loyal and fiercely protective. Especially, when it comes to his girls. No boys are good enough for his daughters. Makes him a bit hard to live with when they bring their boyfriends to meet him. Luckily, none of them have found Mr. Right, yet. Saves him from having to be too threatening.
And despite all his seriousness, the man does know how to smile and while he is not a serious drinker, get a few in him and you might even hear him give a true chuckle.

Hoo-Yah Master Chief
Ryans has nearly thirty years of experience with the Company having been recruited two years after the organization was founded. This means that he is very familiar with all but the most recent procedures and protocols. His specialty in the field was bagging and tagging.
Before he was a Company man he was a US Navy SEAL, one of the Navy's Special Forces. They are highly trained killing machines, trained to function and survive in any environment. Combat skydiving, repelling, diving… any number of things he's had the training. He's done exciting things such as deploying out of the hatch of a moving submarine in full re-breather gear.
He's been trained to be aware of what is going on around him always. His eyes are on the move, watching and studying people. He's always watching for something to be off, for something not to seem right. It's kept him alive this long.
He is not the best shot in the world, but he can hit the target and that is what counts. He might not be able to put all the bullets at center mass or put one in someone's head with barely any effort; but, he can get the job done. He has been trained in hand guns, grenade launchers and various assault rifles.
One thing he learned as a SEAL was how to set up and disarm explosives. This comes from their predecessors the Frogmen. This has ended up being a useful skill for him. He can build any number of simple explosive devices and knows something about disarming them. He has not been trained to deal with the fancier more complicated bombs.
He knows how to drive defensively. This allows him to drive at high speeds and keep in control of his vehicle. He also knows how to operate powered boats, though his high-speed skill at that is not as good. He has less practice with high-speed boat travel than driving, since it has been years since he was a SEAL.
This was his hobby as a retired man. He is pretty good at growing vegetables and roses. He knows all the tricks to keeping the unwanted bugs at bay and the best way to fertilize his plants. Even if he finds it all bland and boring at times, he has pride in what he's grown.
His A-Team
The Lost
The Mourned
Benjamin has a rather large relationships section. So be warned it can get spammy.
Family is everything to Ryans. His daughters are his life now that his wife is gone. It kills him that his life has drug his girls down with him. Ever day it seems like there is a new Ryans coming out of the wood works. And it's really gotten complicated with the arrival of family from the future.
His World
Lucille Ryans (LuLu) - This is the oldest of his two girls. He never really liked that she was a model. He feels it is not healthy for a young and intelligent woman. He knows she has so much potential to do more with her life. That aside, he loves his little girl dearly and would probably do anything for her, much like her sister. Woe to anyone that hurts his girls. Hiding who he was and has been has become much more difficult now that people are pulling her into his world. He also wishes she would quit picking on her younger sister. It frustrates him that they fight so much.
Delia Ryans (Lia) - The youngest of his girls, she is the opposite of her sister. To him, she looks a lot like his deceased wife; but, inherited his personality the most. He worries about her the most, since she reacted to badly to her emerging abilities as a dream walker. It was hard for her, especially after so many years of hate for evolved. As much as he wants to protect her and lock her away, he knows he must stand back and let her find her own way in life. Does not mean the old agent will not protest now and then.
The Discovered Son
Bradley Russo - His son by September Russo, a woman that Ryans was engaged to a long time ago, until his work with the Company destroyed their relationship. Her bitterness towards Ryans drove her to keep Bradley a secret from his father. Ben only recently learned about Russo and already, like his girls, can't seem to see eye to eye. Now to see if their differing views and experiences keep them from getting to know each other better. Will Russo end up despising the choices that his father makes?
The Dead Wife
Mary Ryans - She threatened to leave him, and he still walked out the door. She died the day midtown blew up. It had been her wild red curls that drew him in when he first met the woman who would marry him and give him two beautiful girls. And it had been her smile and laughter that set the hook. She was the love of his life and he didn't think he would ever be able to live without her. Yet somehow, he does, barely. Even though he carries the burden of knowing she was going to leave him, Ryans still is stuck on his dead wife. Her memory will forever be a presence in his life.
The Brother's kids?
Keira - What the F-??? He wants a paternity test, before he'll claim this one. Her mother was a drug addict, which makes Ryans wonder about the validity of her claim. And he was right. To a point. Seems they share some blood, possibly through Ryans brother. She's foul mouthed, covered heavily with tattoos and just… nothing like you'd expect a Ryans' spawn to be. Suddenly, he finds himself sympathizing with Deckard. Whose kid seems just as messed up, not to mention sleeping with Keira. Oi…
Graeme - Could this be another kid of his wayward brother?
From a Dead Future?
Ingrid Ryans - Another girl, this one from the future. He still does not know what to think about her. So gentle and quiet. She seems so fragile and he cannot fathom why anyone would let her come along on a time traveling adventure filled with peril, even though she told him why. It seemed more risk than anyone should have taken. Much like his other daughters, he isn't sure how to really talk to her. His two meetings have been… awkward.
Benjamin Ryans, Jr - One of two grandkids that come from his future - He is admittedly flattered by the fact that this young man was named after him; though he is a little surprised by the young man's gentle manner.
Kincaid Russo - The second of two grandkids.
Oh boy is his life is getting complicated. How the heck did this happen?
Nicole Nichols - This is where everything gets complicated. Supposedly this woman is his wife in a future that might not happen. He barely knows her and is having to slowly learn what drew him to her. She is emotional, fiercely independent, and stubborn. An alpha personality she called herself. The more time he spends with her, it is stirring more emotions then he had known he had in a long time. Is this a fated pairing? He doesn't know; but, he is curious to find out. What scares him now is how fast things are moving and wonders if it's the glimpse of the future that's doing it; especially now that she is pregnant and asked him to marry her.
The Good Medic
Megan Young - A nurse working with the Ferrymen and staying at the island. Maybe it's just the redhead, or maybe the fact she's closer to his age and shares more of the same life experiences, such as the military…. but Ryans is drawn to her. He enjoys her company and their talks when they both have time. They have a good relationship, that tends to dance along the edge.
The Friend(-zoned)
Huruma - Once an old target, he knows just how dangerous she is. The fact that she has a clean slate, chafes him very much. He lost a partner to her wild violent nature. She is one of the few targets to truly get away from him and probably the first to become an ally of sort. He's uncomfortable with the fact that she seems to be harboring feelings for him. He still has nightmares about her gnawing on his shoulder. Still he likes her and finds that he trusts her more and more to have his back. Not to mention the girls like her and have made her more family then he expects. He might not be able to be that love interest, but he is finding he like being her best friend. No need to complicate it with feelings and sex.
While trust varies in situations. These are the people that Ryans really trusts to have his back in a bad situation. The people he turns too for help. The closest thing he has to friends. (OOC: The A-Team thing is a joke, since Liam Neeson was in that movie.)
His Partner in Badass-ness
Jensen Raith - King of Swords - Amazing how evil government organizations bent on experimentation and torture will bring the oddest folks together. Ryans approached the Ferry — while he was still Company — about a target and got Raith as help. Luckily, they both survived and now months later after the night of November 8th, he and Raith have both been appointed Co-Directors of the Ferrymen's militant sector. That's right, they are partners. This could either be a good idea or a very bad idea.
The Respected Shadow
Richard Cardinal - They barely knew each other before the events that sent them to Alaska, with most of their dealings being done through Richard's girlfriend Elisabeth. What he learned about the young man during that mission, he respected the guy. Sees some real promise there and the group he leads: End Game.
The Badass Replicator
Brian Winters - Though they passed in the halls on occasions at Primatech, it was only recently that Brian and Ryans have worked together. While he hates to see the young man constantly throwing away lives, his dedication to getting the job done, impresses the hell out of the old man. This kids is like a jack-of-all-trades and a useful team mate when he needs one. He'd trust this one to have his back in a firefight and Ryans hopes the kid knows that too.
The Former Flame
Lynette Rowan - She used to run the building, Ryans and his daughter lived in while in hiding. She didn't like him being there, but seemed to warm up to him. In turn, Ryans found her to be an intriguing woman and pleasant company. Somehow, she wiggled her way into a part of him that he thought shut up since the death of his wife. He's leery of the feelings growing between them, especially since she is so much younger than him in years, but still enjoying the results of it at the same time. Because of the Dreams that have invaded their lives, they have pulled apart, and things are extremely awkward. The Dreams, such as theirs, have been a strict reminder why Ryans has never like future knowledge. It screws everything up, when you know what could be. Either way, she will always mean something to him.
The Over-Enthusiastic Demolitionist
Lashirah Lee – Despite her punk looks, this woman is proving to be quite the ally. Her forensic knowledge impresses the old man. Not to mention the woman can hold her own in a firefight. He can't tell her everything that's going on, but for the moment she seems to understand that there is more going on. Her help in the situation with Darryl has brought her into a new light and Ryans now feels he can trust her. She's crazy, she really is, but she is not afraid to do what needs to be done when the situation calls for it.After the Ferryman/End Game Operation in Alaska, he has banned her from dealing with explosives. He still trusts her at least.
The Drinking Buddy
Flint Deckard - Supposedly, this man was undercover for some time and finally coming back to the company fold. His ability interested Ryans and has already been of some use in one such case. He's a pretty good guy to drink with, though the man's wandering hands in relation to his daughters, will probably get Deckard punched a few times. All around though, it is kind of nice knowing someone who seems closer to his age.
Corbin Ayers - This one is a paper pushing Agent that has been pushed to active field agent. He is another agent that seems to share a few views along the line of Ryans, making the older of the two feel more comfortable and able to trust him. The fact that Sabra trust him as well means that Ryans can count on him to do what's needed to protect the Company's secrets. This is the man that Ryans goes to when he needs information and some backup.
He's worked with these people in once aspect or another. They are valuable assets to the old man. Some are trusted and some as much as his A-team.
Rebel - He doesn't really like the technopath much, since he manipulated his daughter. He doesn't trust this digital devil at all, but he does owe him for the assistance he did give during the kidnapping of his daughters. However/, he's proving to be an asset when the older agent has to go up against the Institute. They may not see eye to eye about the Company, but at least they can agree on the Institute.
Noah Bennet - Alongside Claude, Ryans helped track down Bennet so that Thompson could recruit him into the Company. Jumped ship sometime around the time Ryans left. They haven't had any contact since. With two girls of his own, he can sympathize with some of the stuff that Bennet did to protect his own daughter. Recently, he's showed up to save Ryans ass when and Institute Agent went after him. There is a lot of respect for this former agent, Ryans can only hope to earn his trust to save lives.
Abigail Beauchamp - He met this young woman in the library and just from the fact he sold paper, she figured out he had been Company. Talking to her later, he found that there was no real threat from her. Though Sabra didn't sound like dealings with her were positive. He'll have to keep an eye on this one. She trusted him enough to have Steven's turn himself into the Company. Hopefully, the older man's actions in that instance will help her trust him more later. She's become the person he goes too when he needs the help of the underground groups. He also knows she now miraculously has an ability, not that he plans to reveal that. He needs her help in things more than seeing her registered.
Henry Webb - Young, energetic, and listens to instruction. He makes Ryans feel old with how charged he seems all the time. But he is a good kid that does what he's told, when told by the former senior agent. He's glad the kid survived the whole Company fiasco.
Eileen Ruskin - Info coming soon
Hokuto Ichihara - Dead and Yet Not -Info Coming Soon
Cathrine Chesterfield - Info coming soon
Ryans has been in the Company a long time. Friendships forged and forgotten, people he's known for a long time. As he meets them and relationships come to light. The details will be added here.
Bob Bishop - ?? - Info coming soon
Alfred Balfour - Captured - Even though Winslow's release was a secret, suspicions still came around… and the man that spearheaded it was Balfour. He tried to get Ryans removed from the Company, however, there wasn't enough evidence. Even though it put them at odd, time wore down the edges and finally life came full circle when Balfour asked Ryans to help him in Seattle. Balfour had a daughter and the Institute wanted her. It was Ryans that the man turned too, looking for help to keep her out of the hands of the bad guys. Of course, Benjamin couldn't find the heart to say no and almost died as a result, but he succeeded. Score on for Ryans.
Gael Cruz - Free - An old friend that Ryans hasn't seen for 10 years. They were one associates and even friends. They were close enough that Gael knows Ryans faults. In the end, he was there when the last of the investigations team stepped out of the bowls of Camp Hero to get the to safety. It kills him that Bianca was killed in all this.
Akado Ichihara - Deceased - Once upon a time, the Ryans and Ichihara's were friends, Benjamin has pictures to prove this. When Midtown occurred, Akado was thought to be dead, only to show up again years later as a man named 'Batsu' who was using a kid named Luke Campbell as a killing machine. He tried to reason with Ryans and other agents. While Ben agreed with a lot of his words, the senior agent didn't agree with the killing Akado was doing. He was taken down, but his words will stick with Ryan for a long time.
Claude Rains - ?? - Not exactly a favorite of Ryans, but together they tracked down and recruited Bennet. Claude was the only other agent that knew about Winslow and kept the secret.
Meredith Gordon - It isn't too often that you run into people from the past. Meredith was one of those people. Running into her at a Starbucks, he reconnected with another figure from his early years. Though now they are more of the same age, thanks to the age manipulator. He still sees the same rough woman and finds some amusement in her crassness. I guess somethings never change.
Agent Vincent Lazzaro - Cocky SOB agent from the Department of Evolved Affairs. While there is grudging respect from Ryans for the man, there is also something that makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up. He's suspicious of the DoEA anyhow as he's seeing some disturbing trends.
Melissa Pierce - Part of the team to go into space. More coming soon.
Linus Agron - Another member of the space team and the hero of the hour. More coming soon.
These people are on his list. Oh yes, he will see them dead one way or another.
Agent Desmond Harper - Killed by Ryans in Alaska -If Ryans ever has a nemesis, Harper would certainly be it. This cocky young man is a thorn in Ryans' side, even more so now that he is a liaison for the team. The assistant director is not at all comfortable with him around, but then the old man's opinion of the Institute in general is a low one.
Lucas Eldridge - Killed by Lashirah in Alaska - Newest DHS man to show up on their cases. The way he reacted to what he saw at Darryl's apartment rung a lot of alarms in the old mans head. He knows this man works for the Institute, especially after a confrontation in a bell tower. He tipped Ryans to the fact he's a wanted man and has many enemies looking to get a piece of him. He's a dead man, for taking the life of Darryl Lincoln and the hole in his car, when Ryans can get to him.
Heller - His name is popping up everywhere, friends mentioning him even. The man that infected the Ferry with the flu with the obvious desire to kill all their evolved members. Maybe to find them… or just to poison the anthill so to speak. Those actions have resulted in the death of innocent children and many adults. Ryans will take this personally since it is his place to protect these people. So he hopes to see a bullet put in the man's head. He'd want to do it himself if he knew it was Heller that stuck a knife in his gut.
Susan Ball - He doesn't know her too well, but he knows what she has done to the people that trusted her. It's enough to get her put on 'The List.'
The Haitian - Always held in the highest regard, Rene was always a valuable asset to the Company. The fact he and Noah were close was no secret. It made his betrayal hit hard. He's now on Ryans' Wanted List. Another who deserves a bullet to the brain.
The Uncertain
Veronica Sawyer - Given a list of candidates to assist him with Mortimer Jack, Ryan's picked this lovely and intelligent Agent. Of all the people listed she was the best qualified for what he needed. He is pleased to know that he had been correct. Of all the newer agents, Ryans has a lot of respect for her. He sees the doubt in her and understands it, but he also trusts her more then the others. Their morals and principles seem to be about on par, though the older agent is a touch more cut throat. Sadly, he's learned she's working for the enemy, however a note from Abby states she believes it was Veronica that supplied the list of agents. So… he'll reserve judgment for now, but treat her cautiously, should they meet.
Agent Elle Bishop - Bob's little girl. Ryans never liked how she was raised and experimented on within the company. Because of her, Ryans always worried about his own girls manifesting abilities, but he had no plans to ever let them slip into the Company fold. It's not place for impressionable minds. Now it seems she has sold her soul to the Institute, which puts the old man at odds with her.
These are the agents that were lost the day the Company fell. He has no idea their status, but he thinks about them often.
Director Sabra Dalton - One of the old crew. He's known her from the old days of the company. He is now her assistant and they have ended up working together, along with Corbin to try and save the Company secrets and some of the people in it. She seems like him in that she's more concerned about the government getting the Company's secret, and protecting people from the Institute, then her career. He trusts her completely. He only hopes he can do well by her.
Agent Rain O'Niel – It confuses Ryans that there is someone so young and non-violent working as an agent. The youngest member of the team, Ryans has been having a tough time with him. So far Ryans impression of the kid is not the highest. The kid needs to learn to think before speaking… Well… learn to think period. If his constant insubordination continues, the old man may be force to kick the kid back to training.
Doctor Allison Richards - A Company shrink. Oh joy. And one with an ability that makes her a double threat. The Haitian at least has the old mans respect and trust. It will takes time and a lot less attitude on her part to gain this old dogs trust. Right now, she comes off as cocky and a threat to the team they have formed. Time in the field will tell him more about her.
These are the people that left a lasting impression on the old man. and have been killed. He hopes that some of them he can seek revenge for.
Elisabeth Harrison -Deceased A damn fine woman and a sad loss. From the dealings that they had as Ferrymen and End Game alike, he learned to respect her and that mind of hers. Her death was a tragic one that will stick with the team always; but, she died trying to save the world. The ultimate sacrifice.
Senior Agent Martin Crowley -Deceased The man need a haircut and a slightly less… flamboyant… attitude. However, this new Company. Much like the new military… Don't ask, don't tell. Ryans doesn't understand why he was demoted, since he seem to give his all to the team, for that Ryans respect him. This death ended up effecting him more then he ever expected. He carried the dying man out from the bowels of Fort Hero, but could not save him. He was a good man. He will be avenged. He has been avenged.
Ivan Spektor - Deceased - When Ryans joined the Company this man was the one that trained him. He respects this man so much and to know the Institute killed him, it saddens Ryans all the more. It also strengthens his resolve.
Darryl Lincoln - Deceased - Suddenly, Ryans has an ace in the hole. This technopath is tuned into the Institute's encrypted channels. Now after going head to head against the big bad wolf, Darryl is in Company hands. He's mentally compromised, but he's valuable, to the Company, to the Ferrymen, to Messiah. Unfortunately, Darryl sacrificed himself to save the life of another. Ryans will remember him for that and make the Institute's life a living hell. His sacrifice will not be in vain.
James Alton - Deceased – This young man lost everything that meant something to him and Ryans can sympathize to a point. He saved Ryans' life on several occasions. The older man liked the Pre-cog and wanted to see him pick back up his life, take that second chance given him. Unfortunately, he was killed when he assisted Ryans in getting his girls back. Ryans will indeed miss the man and always wonder if he could have pulled his life back together.
Albert Winslow - Deceased - Another target, an old case. This was the only target, a still new Company agent let go. They were both new father, both with new little girls. Ryans had a lapse of judgment. After making Winslow promise that he'd stop using his ability and age like the rest of them, he let him go. He kept it secret for all those year. It's haunted him for 20 years, until Winslow slipped up. Feeling betrayed, It killed Ryans to have to do what needed to be done. However, the agent didn't expect the other man to make the senior agent twenty years younger and in doing so sacrificing himself. Debts earned and repaid, though Ryans didn't ask for it.

Memorable Quotes & Moments
Benjamin Ryans, the normally stony man, is laughing. Free from the confines of the helmet, it is a very real, very deep sound; not the small chuckles or huffs of amusement. Real, honest to goodness, laughter. "Hot Damn," he whoops out around the laughter, thrusting his hand - with the helmet still clutched in it - into the air. - During power armor training. A rare side of Ryans. (Don't Underestimate the Power of Morale)
"Harper… you son of a bitch, " There is a predatory growl to his voice, as their helmets bump together, Ryan's arm tightening behind the other man's neck. Fingers grasping at the armor to keep him there as he lets the momentum carry them. They are close enough that Ryans can see his own reflection in that black visor. He can't see Harper, but the man behind the visor can see that emptiness that comes from someone who has taken too many lives. A man who is not afraid to face his own mortality for the right cause. "I'll hope I get to see you in hell." There might only be a split second for Harper to feel the barrel of the gun — in that area, right around where his head is attached to his neck — before Ryans is pulling the trigger. - In a confrontation with Harper (Ouroboros, part II)
"I'm not playing a game with you, Nicole. She might have pulled me out of the dark hole that Mary's death put me in, showed me I was still alive. You've been my hope, that maybe, just maybe my heart didn't get buried with her, too. For the first time in a long time, I've actually looked beyond one day at a time. It took a little help from our grandson and our daughter, but I have." - Said to Nicole (I Should Tell You)
"In the past few months, I have been around some amazing people, Darryl. You number among them." Ryans offers him a small smile. "Your a good man, and I am better for knowing you." - Said to Darryl (To The Source, Part II)
«Sorry Mary. God has a cruel sense of humor.» - Ryans' thoughts about living through the fall from the dam. (Sorry Mary)
"The fact that Lemay is involved bothers me." His head shifts side to side slowly. "Too many old agents are looking at the Company like a dying animal to be circled, waiting for their chance for a piece of it." - To Balfour (Falling Down)
"Just remember no matter how tarnished a coin may seem, it has two sides, but for the moment we will agree to disagree." - to Rebel when talking about the Company. (Walls)
"Being a hero is not something you aspire too.. it's something that happens." -Said to Magnes. (Too Personal For Strangers)
The Ride - Gone Forever
The Armored SUV
AKA: Ryans' Baby
This is Ryans' new and favorite toy. Assigned to him by Martin Crowley after two SUV's were destroyed. For the record it wasn't he fault both times, so obviously it's proof against the females in his life cause it was both woman that wreak his car. Of course, we're not counting every car he's ever had… ever! He's been an agent for 30 years, he's had to have trashed a few. Anyone who wish to try and drive this vehicle will get a glare and a firm, "No."
Ryans has been quoted as saying:
"Damn, I love this car."
Introduced: High Value Target, Part II
Described as: The black SUV that has become agent Benjamin Ryans' new vehicle was specifically assigned by Martin Crowley during his last stint as assistant director. The brush-bar on the front of the rugged vehicle, off-road tires and bullet-proof design may make it a heavy, gas-guzzling behemoth on the road, but it is also going to cost less to the Company in the long run than replacing every single sedan that he trashes in the line of duty.
Current Status : Calvin be jacking that ride. Ryans still misses it.
Ryans has been with the company for almost 30 years. He retired after Midtown. He has been with them since shortly after the organizations founding. This can mean many things.
Were you a company agent before Midtown? He might have trained you or you might know him.
Were your parents agents? He might have known them.
Were you/loved one/family in Level 5? He might have been the one that put you there or you might have seen him on the other side of the glass.
Were you bagged and tagged? He might look familiar.
Some more general hooks
He's a drinker. Not unusual to find him at a pub or bar.
He's pro-Registration and for the most part pro-evolved. Though he thinks many are getting rather cocky and a bit too bold.
He also sees FRONTLINE as a potential good thing as long as the government doesn't mess it up. Yeah… no. Screw that.
Trivia and Notes
He recently lost his left had in a confrontation with FRONTLINE members.
A good sign that Ryans is getting pissed off or upset is that he cusses. Normally he doesn't, but if he's upset…. he can end up cussing like the sailor he use to be.
During his first Bag and Tag case since coming back, Ryans was given a new life when Albert Winslow gave up his own life and gave the Company agent 20 years back. Ryans looks like a man on the verge of 40, not a man bordering on 60.
Holy Crap!!! Ryans helped hijack a shuttle and went into space!!! I am serious!
He hated retired life… so boring! Thank god he is back!
Ryans came about after watching 'Taken' for the first time. If you haven't seen this? DO IT! Like NOW! It's totally Ryans the movie.
I could have sworn that the character's name came about, after finding Ryans on a surname list. However, Liam Neeson made a movie called "Before and After" back in 1996. The character he played was Ben Ryan. This is probably where I got it. ;) I totally don't remember.
The player totally owns an action figure for Ryans… True story!
Parts of Ryan's background prior to the Company is very loosely based on the experiences of the player's grandfather. He often shared them around the dinner table. May he rest in peace. <3

Thai economy grew 6.4% in 2012, rate cuts unlikely
Thailand's economic growth accelerated in the fourth quarter on rising exports and local demand, reducing pressure on the central bank for further interest-rate cuts.
Thailand EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA) on tracks
Boris Sullivan
The Thai economy expanded 6.4 per cent last year and is expected to grow 4.5-5.5 per cent this year, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) reported today.
The economy surged 18.9 per cent in the last quarter compared to a slump in the corresponding period in 2011 when devastating floods disrupted output by manufacturers, the agency said. Akom Termpittayapaisit, NESDB chief, said this year's export growth may expand 11 per cent with domestic consumption, and investments are expected to rise 3.5 and 8.9 per cent respectively. Inflation is likely to stay within the range of 2.5-3.5 per cent, he said. Mr Akom noted that the positive trend of improving global economy could be a boon for Thai exports.
The growth in the first half of this year is likely to be driven mainly by rising domestic demand as well as the government's first-time car buyers scheme which helps boost local purchasing power. In addition,the government's mega infrastructure projects will inject a huge amount of cash into the economy, in particular the flood-prevention and water management budget, he said.
Rate cuts unlikely
Expansion of labour-intensive industries could be limited by rising costs of production as a result of the 300 baht minimum wage, he said, adding that the wage hike would help improve workers' quality of life. Among key risk factors pressuring the Thai economy this year, the NESDB chief expressed concern over the influx of foreign capital resulting in the appreciating Thai baht which has risen 2.7 per cent this year. (MCOT online news) Thai economy set to grow 4.5-5.5% this year: NESDB | MCOT.net
Gross domestic product increased 18.9% in the three months through December from a year earlier, after expanding a revised 3.1% in the previous quarter, the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) said in Bangkok on Monday. The median of 14 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was 15.3%. The economy grew 6.4% in 2012 from 0.1% in 2011, when a deluge swamped most of the country.
Quicker than Indonesia
The Thai economy is weathering an uneven global recovery better than its larger neighbor Indonesia, which expanded 6.1% last quarter, the slowest pace in more than two years. The Philippines grew 6.8%, and its central bank has said it is considering more measures to counter the impact of inflows on the peso, which has recently strengthened to a record.
Keeping rates low for a long time may lead to asset bubbles, Prasarn has said. Kittiratt, who has repeatedly urged the monetary authority to cut borrowing costs further, said earlier this month he wrote a letter to central bank Chairman Virabongsa Ramangkura, reiterating his view that the Thai rate is luring capital inflows. Prasarn last week said the interest-rate differential is not the primary reason for rising inflows.

I attended the Cable Show in Boston on May 21-23, 2012. The theme of the show was titled, "From Cloud to Screen and Everything In-Between." I attended several seminars over the course of 3 days which mainly focused on the profound impact digital distribution and technology has had on cable companies. Cable executives discussed how they are adjusting to a new era of multi-screens and application-centric interactivity and how they are staying relevant in a social-media-fueled environment.
I was most impacted by the General Session on the last day of the Cable Show. During this session, Piers Morgan, the host of CNN"s "Piers Morgan Tonight" interviewed Conan O'Brien, the host of "Conan" on TBS. He spoke about his web team "Team Coco" and how they developed an aggressive grass roots movement to stay relevant in the digital media space.
Appointment television and sitting down to watch an 11pm talk show is just not top-of-mind anymore because people are too distracted with all the viewing options available. Team Coco has developed a strategy to drive viewers to watch the show on cable by engaging them with social media. Every time they have a guest on the show they immediately Facebook and Tweet about it – usually with a picture to create an instant buzz. They've found this very successful in driving people to turn on the television to tune in. He spoke about his interview with Charlie Sheen shortly after his bizarre behaviors and stint in the press. There were no signs of Charlie before the scheduled interview until minutes before when Charlie tweeted that he was on his way to the studio. Conan started tweeting back – and the buzz created from this one tweet resulted in many additional viewers tuning into the program.
People used to sit around their TV set and watch shows live. When something funny happened or big news was announced – the viewers would find out the same time as the audience. Back in the day when the Beatles performed on The Ed Sullivan Show – people tuned in just to see what they looked like. We're in a different generation now. As stories break people can find out more information by the click of a button and do not need to tune in to watch a television show. The days of Johnny Carson and Ed Sullivan are over and the "surprise effect" from appointment television is not there anymore. By using digital and social media technologies, cable networks can create increased awareness and viewership. Team Coco's goal is to create a world where people are experiencing and enjoying their content online and are interested in tuning into the show to become more familiar.
With the surprise effect over, shows need to come up with new ways to entertain their viewers. Paramount Pictures approached Conan and asked if Will Ferrell could unexpectedly interrupt his show dressed as Ron Burgundy and announce that they were coming out with Anchorman 2. Team Coco jumped at the opportunity and used it as a way to create buzz and create a wave of viewership. They put bits and pieces of his appearance online via their website and social media channels. The clips were so funny (Will Ferrell took the stage playing a flute) that Will Ferrell fans from everywhere tuned into the show that night to see the entire segment – which is now available on Team Coco's YouTube Channel.
"Turner is a dream come true," said Conan in his interview at The Cable Show. He explained that he feels like his show is a tiny comedy club on a huge cruise ship. Turner is a perfect fit for him because they are up for anything and let him run with his ideas and turn them around quickly. Conan made a comparison to Walt Disney saying he was never scared of technology and always embraced new ways of doing things to expand his business. Because of this thinking – what started as a passion for drawing became one of the best motion-picture companies in the world. Walt Disney went on to become one of the greatest innovators in animation and theme park design.
The key take away from Conan's interview is that funny content is funny content – no matter where you see it. If a show's content is memorable and engaging, people are going to find a way to watch it – whether it's online or on air. Team Coco knew that they needed to get the people watching Conan on TBS to also get involved on Facebook, Twitter and the other social media communities. As viewers go online to talk about the show – more people will want to be engaged with the show. This has proven to be wildly successful for them and I think every cable network needs to take note.
Viewers have so many mediums to choose from when seeking entertainment. As of December 31, 2011, 2.79 billion people worldwide were online – which is a 528.1% increase since 2000 (source). The amount of time people spend online will continue to rise as will digital mobile technologies. Every cable network (and I believe every company) should hire a specific department dedicated to social media to keep their fans engaged online and increase viewership. Media companies have a choice – adapt to digital technology or pack your bags and go.

University of Minnesota Joins in National Day of Action for Education Rights

Uriel Rosales of La Raza Student Cultural Center speaking March 2. (Fight Back! News/Staff)
Minneapolis, MN - Students for a Democratic Society at the U of M held a rally, March 2, in front of the student union to demand no tuition hikes, no staff layoffs and shared governance for all members of the university community. It was part of a day of action called by Students for a Democratic Society nationally. Despite extreme temperatures, 50 students, staff and faculty attended, chanting, "Fund education, not administration," and "They say cut back? We say fight back!"
Speakers included representatives from SDS, AFSCME local 3800 (the fighting clerical workers' union), La Raza Student Cultural Center, Faculty for the Renewal of Public Education and the Committee to Stop FBI Repression.
Tracy Molm, SDS member and organizer for AFSCME local 3800, spoke on behalf of the Committee to Stop FBI Repression, saying, "I am sick of U.S. tax dollars funding wars instead of educations."
Another demand of the education rights campaign at the U of M is, "Hands off the cultural centers." The second floor of the student union at the U of M is made up of student cultural centers and student group office spaces. The entire floor is under threat as the administration considers replacing it with homogenous resource center and refuses to consider the importance of this community to the university. SDS speaker Chris Getowitz stated that SDS, while not a second floor group, stands in solidarity with these organizations: "The second floor is a safe space for marginalized voices on this campus. The U of M should be expanding these spaces, not eliminating them!"
There was also a focus on the struggle happening in the neighboring state of Wisconsin, where workers are fighting for collective bargaining rights. AFSCME 3800 Chief Steward Cherrene Horazuk talked about the importance of standing in solidarity with people around the world and at home fighting for their rights, "...united we bargain, but divided we beg." SDS and AFSCME Local 3800 committed to continue to stand in solidarity with those fighting in Wisconsin.

Hunt Illinois: Website does good by permits/seasons, but leaves mess of safety classes by 102 counties
A new website, Hunt Illinois, pulls together public hunting information in Illinois, but leaves some mistakes in place, such as listing safety classes by 102 counties rather than by date; at least a good usable calendar has permit and season dates in one place.
SHARE Hunt Illinois: Website does good by permits/seasons, but leaves mess of safety classes by 102 counties
A screen shot of the new Hunt Illinois website.
Hunt Illinois, website, outdoors
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources announced today the release of the Hunt Illinois website, which pulls together public hunting information in Illinois.
Good, it's a shift in the right direction.
The most usable part, by my view, is the calendar with listings of permit and season dates.
But it leaves in place one of the most galling features in my view, both as a dad and an outdoors professional.
The listings for safety classes remain by 102 counties rather than by date. That just blows my mind.
Here's why it matters. The kids who are hardcore hunters will find a way to squeeze in their hunter safety classes, but the kids who will hunt as a social or family activity need all the help they can get. As an outdoors and hunting community, those tangential kids may be the most important ones to keep in the fold.
Sorting through class listings by county is infuriating, if you are a parent trying to squeeze another event into a kid's schedule of band, soccer, church youth group, Scouts, theater, National Honor Society, music lessons and family events. Trust me I know this firsthand on multiple occasions.
I don't think I'm much different than other parents in this: I would be willing to drive roughly 1 1⁄2 hours to take a kid to a class. In our case, that means 14 counties. Do you know what a pain in the ass it is to wade through 14 counties of listings instead of just going down one listing by date?
Most things are made easier by having them online, not in the case of listing hunter safety classes by county.
What makes this even more galling is that the IDNR at one time did it right. Make it 20-plus years ago. One day John Allen, then PIO for the IDNR in Chicago (back then there was such a position), on his own initiative, started compiling a statewide list of classes and sending them out weekly. If I remember right, he pulled the list together on Friday afternoons, which tend to be a bit of a down time. His list was a freaking dream. I say that both as a dad and as a member of the outdoors media relaying information of what and when classes are available.
I groused and digressed. Now I am done.
Here is the announcement from the IDNR:
IDNR Launches New 'Hunt Illinois' Website SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) today announced the launch of the new Hunt Illinois website – an online resource for Illinois residents and visitors to the state interested in hunting in the Land of Lincoln. The website includes information on Illinois hunting seasons, places to hunt, licenses and permits needed, hunting and trapping regulations, hunter harvest reporting, hunter safety, wildlife management, and conservation programs. The new Hunt Illinois website is an easy-to-use one-stop resource for hunters to find just about everything they need to know about planning a hunt, no matter the species, no matter the season, said IDNR Hunter Heritage Program Manager Jared Duquette. The new website was developed by the IDNR in cooperation with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center, with funding support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife Restoration Program. The Hunt Illinois website can be accessed through most desktop and laptop computer web browsers, or by using most mobile devices, at https://huntillinois.org/.

Congratulations to all the students, teachers and parents of SAI International School.


When he was writing his doctoral thesis at the KIT Institute for Process Control and Robotics (IPR), Bihlmaier looked at the issue of cost-pushers and arrived at the conclusion that in particular, integration costs are a major cost factor. They build up when specially trained engineers spend days, and sometimes even several weeks, integrating automation solutions in businesses. Gripped by ambition, he and his co-founders Dr Julien Mintenbeck und Dr Jens Liedke, who were also doing their doctorates at the Institute, decided to develop an innovative solution for the economical production and assembly of small quantities: a system with a network of modules which, like in a construction kit, can be flexibly combined and adapted within a plant to the respective product or the individual process within a minimum of time, which also makes its employment worthwhile when small quantities are involved.
robodev combines hardware components with ingenious software control, providing a uniform system that is easy to use and does not require an expert to assemble it and put it into operation. "One or two days of training will do," says developer Bihlmaier. Depending on the respective requirements, usable components range from simple sensors and actors to sophisticated image data evaluation and applications in robotics.
Given the considerable encouragement the three founders received both at the Institute and from industrial partners, in early 2015, they decided to take part in KIT's Spring School – Entrepreneurship for Researchers, where, for the first time, they had a look at financing issues and the protection of intellectual property. "This was the first step towards founding an enterprise," says Bihlmaier, looking back. This was followed by taking part in the KIT Accelerator upCAT, where the team elaborated their business concept. Together with mentors, the prospective entrepreneurs Bihlmaier, Mintenbeck and Liedke analysed the huge market their idea was based on. What above all helped at this stage was communicating with other start-ups as well as talks with consultants from the Center for Interdisciplinary Entrepreneurship, CIE for short, and the KIT start-up incubator.
robodev has now signed contracts on several pilot projects both with medium-sized enterprises and with major corporations. In addition, with Staufen.Digital Invest, the founders have opted for a renowned investor that focuses on technology and software businesses. For the next months, the team have planned to leave their rooms at the Institute and move into their own business quarters, and also to increase their staff. "We want to make use of the experience gained in the initial pilot projects in order to further develop the company and successively establish it on the German market," says Bihlmaier.

Home News Get Island-specific warnings through CodeRED
Get Island-specific warnings through CodeRED
George Brennan
Look for this logo on your town website to sign up for weather and other Island-specific emergencies.
Islanders, businesses, and visitors can expect a recorded call from Martha's Vineyard emergency managers Tuesday morning about the CodeRED system.
Island emergency managers have licensed the CodeRED community notification system to disseminate important information, along with alerting citizens to severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other storms, according to Russ Hartenstine, West Tisbury's emergency manager.
The calls will go out on whatever number was registered, Hartenstine said. The idea is to get those people to encourage their neighbors and friends to sign up.
Residents are encouraged to go to their town websites to click on the CodeRED logo, and sign up phone numbers, cell numbers for text, and email addresses. Once there, you can choose which of the weather warnings you want to receive.
Anyone without Internet access is encouraged to contact a family member to help add contact information to the emergency database. Individuals can also contact the call center at Oak Bluffs Fire Station at 508-693-5380 on Tuesday, June 25, between 10 am and 4 pm, where operators will be standing by to sign them up.
"We're hoping to get enough attention to get people to sign up for it," Hartenstine said. "We're approaching peak population time. We thought the best thing to do was to ge more awareness ahead of the Fourth of July."
CodeRED is different from those MEMA and FEMA blasts that go to every cell phone, providing alerts during a major event, he said. The CodeRED system can provide information related only to the Island, like when warming shelters are opened. It was used in October, for example, when there were tornado warnings.
"This is a minor league, and we want you to come and play in our system," Hartenstine said.

Less than a century after the founding of our religious order, Jesuits began arriving on the shores of America.
French Jesuits explored the woodlands of Maine and celebrated, in 1611, the first known Mass on American soil, at the mouth of the Kennebec River. English Jesuits landed in Maryland, in 1634, and established a mission there. More French Jesuits came and rode their canoes along the unchartered waters of the Great Lakes. By the 1680s, the men in black robes were also coming from Spain and setting up churches and villages in the southwestern United States. Italian Jesuits, in the mid-1800s, began reaching out to people of various cultures in Colorado, Montana, and California.
This period stretching well into the 19th century was, in a manner of speaking, the Wild West phase of Jesuits in America. It was a time when these priests and brothers explored the frontiers of faith, preaching the Good News to Native Americans and Protestant pioneers, and establishing the first U.S. Jesuit college, Georgetown, in 1789. It was also a time of martyrdom, suppression, and persecution.
For more than a hundred years in America, Jesuits operated under the auspices of their native provinces in Europe. Then, in 1833, these pioneers established the Maryland Province of Jesuits — the first in the United States. Jesuit colleges and universities began a period of explosive growth as Jesuits sought to educate waves of immigrants. By the early 1900s, Jesuit provinces and institutions were multiplying across the country.
Today, American and Canadian Jesuits are still exploring new frontiers. Together with our lay collaborators, we are fostering dialogues with non-Christian religious faiths in the developing world, for example, and starting middle schools in hard-pressed neighborhoods of urban America. The mission remains as it has for 400 years — to bring people and cultures closer to the living God.
