Aho Mark,
Sorry to trouble you again about this, but it looks like some of the last 
announcement got cut off (I'm not able to send to the list, but I can 
follow it online in the archives). Everything I wanted to say is in the 
body of this message below. Would you be able to just forward this e-mail 
to the list for me? Thanks for your assistance and for your patience.
Best wishes,

Hello all,

This is a reminder that May 1 is the deadline to submit a presentation 
title and abstract for the 2011 Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference. 
Below you will find the basic conference information as well as a revised 
tentative schedule. As you can see, to date about 20 presentations have 
been proposed, and we have received 2 abstracts. We will continue to 
revise this schedule as people submit their titles/abstracts and as they 
let us know if we have scheduled their presentation for a day that 
conflicts with their schedule.

PLEASE NOTE if there are no more presentation submissions, it appears that 
the conference will be compressed to Thursday and Friday. We are providing 
advance notice of this possibility so people can reconsider their travel 
plans. We will continue to keep you updated about this matter and will let 
you know as soon as we can if we have enough presentations to fill more 
than two days. A finalized schedule will be issued in May.

ABSTRACTS (to date):

Mark Awakuni-Swetland: Monshtínge: A ‘Rabbit’ of a Different Color

In the latter half of the 19th century James Owen Dorsey collected over 90 
Omaha and Ponca stories. They were written in the native language with 
inter-linear glosses, rearranged into the English syntax, and printed in 
The C̸egiha Language (1890). Monshtínge, the Rabbit, figures prominently 
in many of these traditional hígon (stories). Students at the University 
of Nebraska-Lincoln have the opportunity to fulfill their college language 
requirement by completing a series of Omaha language classes. Faced with 
the lack of contemporary Omaha reading materials, each of the UNL cohorts 
have produced bilingual readers. This paper describes the 2010 work that 
began as an impromptu, in-class, creative story telling exercise. The 
unexpected result was the bilingual reader Monshtínge Tú T’émonthin the: 
The Zombie Blue Rabbit. It is offered as an example of how Native language 
materials can be produced that reflect modern concepts (zombies and blue 
rabbits) that excite student interest 
while maintaining a traditional style of knowledge transfer (story 
telling).

Kathleen Danker:  What’s New with the Transcriptions and Translations of 
the Trickster Tales of Felix White, Sr.?.

This presentation provides an update for Siouan linguists and teachers of 
Native American languages on my long-term project of recording, 
transcribing, annotating, translating into English verse, and publishing a 
book of the Hochank Trickster narratives of the late Felix White, Sr., of 
Winnebago, Nebraska. I have completed preliminary versions of the fourteen 
stories that will comprise "The Foolish One: Trickster Narrative of Felix 
White, Sr." I have typed the transcriptions of these tales using IT 
(Interlinear Text) 1.01r7 annotation software which facilitates 
multiple-line transitions from Hochank phonemes to morphemes to literal 
English translations. In order to make this material a more useful tool 
for students learning how to speak the Hochank language, I am currently 
revising the top lines of my transcriptions to more accurately represent 
the actual pronunciations, contractions, and accent patterns of Mr. 
White’s speech as preserved on audio tapes. For this revision, I
 am also checking over my annotations and translations for consistency and 
accuracy and making sure that the line numbers of the annotated 
transcriptions match up with those of my free translations into English 
verse.

Aughhh!  I should know never ever to reply to anything that was sent to the Siouan list, even if it has an individual sender's name on it ...  My message a minute ago was obviously meant just for Mark A-S.  

Sorry to waste everyone else's time.  

You can scold me in White Cloud -- looking forward to seeing y'all there.  :-)

Subject: database super slow
Message-ID: <TUE.26.APR.2011.092956.0500.>

Hey, Mark -- Have you been having trouble accessing the database and dictionary?

I've been trying to do some lexemes and the last few days the database is taking FOREVER to load, often timing out ... I'll manage to log on, enter a part of speech for a lexeme and then spend the next 15 or 20 minutes trying to enter a definition, having the definition field repeatedly fail to open, or I'll ok a lexeme and not be able to save it.  This morning I logged on to the database but couldn't get it to open page 283 of the lexeme list, which is where I left off yesterday; just now gave up after several tries.  It's really frustrating.  

It's not just general slow internet connection or anything; other web pages are loading fine, e-mail is fine, etc.  

Up till 4 or 5 days ago I wasn't having these problems.  

I was hoping maybe the glitchiness meant the unl folks were doing some kind of upgrade -- ??  But it's been going on for days now.  

Any ideas?  Does it just not like me?
C.

Aloha Catherine,
End of semester chaos in Lincoln.

I haven't been into the database in the past couple of days.
I will check it today as I have a new Source POS from Darcy to enter.

Chaos here too, of course :-)
I was off in Ohio lecturing at OSU on Slavic stuff last week ... looking forward to getting back to a little bit of Siouan this week, in between all the honor society initiations and concerts and term paper grading and whatnot.  
 
As soon as I'd thrown my little e-mail tantrum database seemed to speed up a little.  It's like how your symptoms immediately go away when you make a doctor appointment.  Now, on office computer, it seems to be working ok.  But it really HAS been just absurdly slow for several days.  
 
Don't worry about it too much, but maybe you could ask Laura et al if they've been doing something.

Aho Mark,
Sorry to trouble you again about this, but it looks like some of the last 
announcement got cut off (I'm not able to send to the list, but I can 
follow it online in the archives). Everything I wanted to say is in the

Hello all,

This is a reminder that May 1 is the deadline to submit a presentation 
title and abstract for the 2011 Siouan and Caddoan Languages Conference. 
Below you will find the basic conference information as well as a revised 
tentative schedule. As you can see, to date about 20 presentations have 
been proposed, and we have received 2 abstracts. We will continue to 
revise this schedule as people submit their titles/abstracts and as they 
let us know if we have scheduled their presentation for a day that 
conflicts with their schedule.

PLEASE NOTE if there are no more presentation submissions, it appears that 
the conference will be compressed to Thursday and Friday. We are providing 
advance notice of this possibility so people can reconsider their travel 
plans. We will continue to keep you updated about this matter and will let 
you know as soon as we can if we have enough presentations to fill more 
than two days. A finalized schedule will be issued in May.

ABSTRACTS (to date):

Mark Awakuni-Swetland: Monsht?nge: A ?Rabbit? of a Different Color

In the latter half of the 19th century James Owen Dorsey collected over 90 
Omaha and Ponca stories. They were written in the native language with 
inter-linear glosses, rearranged into the English syntax, and printed in 
The C?egiha Language (1890). Monsht?nge, the Rabbit, figures prominently 
in many of these traditional h?gon (stories). Students at the University 
of Nebraska-Lincoln have the opportunity to fulfill their college language 
requirement by completing a series of Omaha language classes. Faced with 
the lack of contemporary Omaha reading materials, each of the UNL cohorts 
have produced bilingual readers. This paper describes the 2010 work that 
began as an impromptu, in-class, creative story telling exercise. The 
unexpected result was the bilingual reader Monsht?nge T? T??monthin the: 
The Zombie Blue Rabbit. It is offered as an example of how Native language 
materials can be produced that reflect modern concepts (zombies and blue 
rabbits) that excite student interest 
while maintaining a traditional style of knowledge transfer (story 
telling).

Kathleen Danker:  What?s New with the Transcriptions and Translations of 
the Trickster Tales of Felix White, Sr.?.

This presentation provides an update for Siouan linguists and teachers of 
Native American languages on my long-term project of recording, 
transcribing, annotating, translating into English verse, and publishing a 
book of the Hochank Trickster narratives of the late Felix White, Sr., of 
Winnebago, Nebraska. I have completed preliminary versions of the fourteen 
stories that will comprise "The Foolish One: Trickster Narrative of Felix 
White, Sr." I have typed the transcriptions of these tales using IT 
(Interlinear Text) 1.01r7 annotation software which facilitates 
multiple-line transitions from Hochank phonemes to morphemes to literal 
English translations. In order to make this material a more useful tool 
for students learning how to speak the Hochank language, I am currently 
revising the top lines of my transcriptions to more accurately represent 
the actual pronunciations, contractions, and accent patterns of Mr. 
White?s speech as preserved on audio tapes. For this revision, I
 am also checking over my annotations and translations for consistency and 
accuracy and making sure that the line numbers of the annotated 
transcriptions match up with those of my free translations into English 
verse.

ABSTRACTS (to date):

Mark Awakuni-Swetland: Monsht?nge: A ?Rabbit? of a Different Color

In the latter half of the 19th century James Owen Dorsey collected over 90 Omaha and Ponca stories. They were written in the native language with inter-linear glosses, rearranged into the English syntax, and printed in The C?egiha Language (1890). Monsht?nge, the Rabbit, figures prominently in many of these traditional h?gon (stories). Students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have the opportunity to fulfill their college language requirement by completing a series of Omaha language classes. Faced with the lack of contemporary Omaha reading materials, each of the UNL cohorts have produced bilingual readers. This paper describes the 2010 work that began as an impromptu, in-class, creative story telling exercise. The unexpected result was the bilingual reader Monsht?nge T? T??monthin the: The Zombie Blue Rabbit. It is offered as an example of how Native language materials can be produced that reflect modern concepts (zombies and blue rabbits) that excite student interest
while maintaining a traditional style of knowledge transfer (story telling).

Kathleen Danker:  What?s New with the Transcriptions and Translations of the Trickster Tales of Felix White, Sr.?.

This presentation provides an update for Siouan linguists and teachers of Native American languages on my long-term project of recording, transcribing, annotating, translating into English verse, and publishing a book of the Hochank Trickster narratives of the late Felix White, Sr., of Winnebago, Nebraska. I have completed preliminary versions of the fourteen stories that will comprise "The Foolish One: Trickster Narrative of Felix White, Sr." I have typed the transcriptions of these tales using IT (Interlinear Text) 1.01r7 annotation software which facilitates multiple-line transitions from Hochank phonemes to morphemes to literal English translations. In order to make this material a more useful tool for students learning how to speak the Hochank language, I am currently revising the top lines of my transcriptions to more accurately represent the actual pronunciations, contractions, and accent patterns of Mr. White?s speech as preserved on audio tapes. For this revision, I
am also checking over my annotations and translations for consistency and accuracy and making sure that the line numbers of the annotated transcriptions match up with those of my free translations into English verse.

Aughhh!  I should know never ever to reply to anything that was sent to the Siouan list, even if it has an individual sender's name on it ...  My message a minute ago was obviously meant just for Mark A-S.  

Sorry to waste everyone else's time.  

You can scold me in White Cloud -- looking forward to seeing y'all there.  :-)
Catherine

Subject: database super slow
Message-ID: <TUE.26.APR.2011.092956.0500.>

Hey, Mark -- Have you been having trouble accessing the database and dictionary?

I've been trying to do some lexemes and the last few days the database is taking FOREVER to load, often timing out ... I'll manage to log on, enter a part of speech for a lexeme and then spend the next 15 or 20 minutes trying to enter a definition, having the definition field repeatedly fail to open, or I'll ok a lexeme and not be able to save it.  This morning I logged on to the database but couldn't get it to open page 283 of the lexeme list, which is where I left off yesterday; just now gave up after several tries.  It's really frustrating.  

It's not just general slow internet connection or anything; other web pages are loading fine, e-mail is fine, etc.  

Up till 4 or 5 days ago I wasn't having these problems.  

I was hoping maybe the glitchiness meant the unl folks were doing some kind of upgrade -- ??  But it's been going on for days now.  

Any ideas?  Does it just not like me?
C.

Aloha Catherine,
End of semester chaos in Lincoln.

I haven't been into the database in the past couple of days.
I will check it today as I have a new Source POS from Darcy to enter.

Chaos here too, of course :-)
I was off in Ohio lecturing at OSU on Slavic stuff last week ... looking forward to getting back to a little bit of Siouan this week, in between all the honor society initiations and concerts and term paper grading and whatnot.  
 
As soon as I'd thrown my little e-mail tantrum database seemed to speed up a little.  It's like how your symptoms immediately go away when you make a doctor appointment.  Now, on office computer, it seems to be working ok.  But it really HAS been just absurdly slow for several days.  
 
Don't worry about it too much, but maybe you could ask Laura et al if they've been doing something.
