Julian Ford, a clinical psychologist at the University of Connecticut who helped counsel families in the days immediately following the shooting, recommended addressing it as questions come up but otherwise focusing on regular school work.
"Kids just spontaneously make associations and will start talking about something that reminds them of someone, or that reminds them of some of the scary parts of the experience," Ford said. "They don't need a lot of words; they need a few selective words that are thoughtful and sensitive, like, 'We're going to be OK,' and 'We really miss this person, but we'll always be able to think about her or him in ways that are really nice.'"
It will be important for parents and teachers to listen and be observant, Ford said.
"Each of the boys and girls are going to have different reactions to different aspects of the environment, different little things that will be reminders to them," he said.
Parents might have a harder time with fear than children, Ford said.
Before the shooting, a baby sitter would take Connors' children to the bus stop. But Connors said he'll probably take the third-graders to the bus the first few days.
"I think that they need to get back into a normal routine as quickly as possible," Connors said. "If you're hovering over them at all times, it almost intensifies the fear for them."
His children, who escaped unharmed, ask questions about the gunman.
"It's hard for us to say why," Connors said. "That's kind of what we tell them. This person wasn't well, was sick and didn't get the help he needed."
Connors said his children are excited to go back to school but predicted they might be nervous as the first day approaches. He hopes the grief counseling services continue, he said.
"It's going to be a long road back," Connors said. "Back to what I guess is the biggest question. Everyone keeps throwing that word around the new normal. What does the new normal look like? I think everybody kind of has to define that for themselves."

Only in Oxford – Grove and Walk of Champions
As a place to tailgate, the Grove is second to none. In addition to hosting the "biggest pep rally" before every home football game at Ole Miss, this special piece of property has a growing legion of fans who want to preserve it for future generations. (November 2, 2014, Page 1A)
First-time fundraisers succeed
While the country gradually bounces back from the recession, local community members have proven that the needs of the many sometimes do outweigh the needs of the few. (November 10, 2010, Page 3)
Letters to the Editor
Curt Kennedy writes to suggest that the mascot for Ole Miss athletic teams be a horse named Rebel. He points out the positive qualities of the animal and notes that it could be a back-to-the-future type thing since a horse was on the field for a UM football game some 37 years ago.

FOXBORO, Mass. —Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has seen wide receiver Chad Ochocinco's disappearing act before. Of course, Revis was the guy who caused it.
The two had a pair of high-profile showdowns in 2009, and Revis came out on top each time. He held Ochocinco without a reception in the regular-season finale, when the Bengals' most prominent players were pulled in the third quarter, during the Jets' 37-0 victory. While the game was meaningless for the Bengals in terms of the standings, the Jets needed the win to get into the playoffs.
It also set up a rematch the following week in the wild-card round, when the Jets won, 24-14, and Revis held Ochocinco to two catches (on six targets) for 38 yards. Revis had played better receivers at that point in his career, but the playoff game was one of his most prominent performances after two weeks of trash talk between him and Ochocinco.
"[I] got him two weeks in a row," Revis said Wednesday. "It was a good matchup between us. We came out with the victory on both of those wins."
The 2009 regular-season finale was the only game between 2003-10 in which Ochocinco was held without a catch. Now, he's riding a three-game streak without a reception for the first time in his career, and this is the first season of his career with three games in any order without a catch.
Revis wasn't sure how to diagnose Ochocinco's struggles.
"I don't really know the inside or what's going on up there with him in the offense," Revis said. "It might be something where the terminology might be different from when he was in Cincinnati. You could see they're trying to work him into the mix. I guess when he gets comfortable and the Patriots feel that he's comfortable, then they'll probably show him the ball a little more."

MIAMI -- At the risk of damaging the "First Take" ratings, the God's truth is I do not hate LeBron James. I actually like the man, who seems as close to being a role model as any superstar can be. He seems to be a good father and husband with a sharing, caring heart.
But this question continues to plague me like South Beach humidity: Now that LeBron has re-established himself (post-Decision) as a Good Guy, and now that he has won two championships and four MVPs, should any criticism of him now be dismissed as unfair? Even un-American?
For media members, should LeBron James, universally acknowledged as the Best Player in the World, now be above and beyond questioning as a basketball player? Should all of his past failures be expunged from his record, never to be mentioned again?
It's beginning to feel that way.
On Wednesday's show, I dared to place the bulk of the NBA Finals Game 3 blame on LeBron, who in the final three quarters contributed 8 points, 7 turnovers and zero free throw attempts and became strangely disengaged on offense, even as Miami cut a 25-point lead to seven late in the third quarter. My debate partner, Stephen A. Smith, condemned me for being "so disrespectful" and let LeBron off the hook by saying he "looked tired." The world's greatest and fittest athlete got tired after a sensational first quarter (14 points on 5-of-6 shooting, 2-for-2 on 3s, 2 free throws) of a pivotal Game 3 in His House?
Sorry, Stephen A., not giving you (or LeBron) that excuse after you picked Miami to win this series solely because the Heat have "the greatest player in the world."
After Game 1 of the NBA Finals -- you know, the Cramp Game -- LeBron told ESPN's Michael Wilbon that he has become "the easiest target in sports." I was dumbfounded. Easiest target? How about most overprotected superstar? Didn't anyone else see this as a rather pathetic plea for sympathy after LeBron had let down his team?
I obviously can't read, watch and listen to everything. But of the media members I follow, all are pro-LeBron -- most of them passionately so -- and most are extremely slow to criticize him and quick to give him a pass. Maybe they are right in their approach and I am stubbornly wrong. But throughout LeBron's 11-year career, I have merely attempted to remain objective, applauding when he is all-time great yet pointing out on air and in print when his obvious intangible flaws get the best of him.
So I've always stood out like a, well, cramped thumb. I'm LeBron's "No. 1 Critic" and his "Biggest Hater." I feel a little like Shailene Woodley's character in "Divergent." The government is going to eliminate me because I don't fit in.
Sometimes I feel like the easiest target in sports. I've constantly heard during the nearly 10 years I've been on "First Take" (formerly "Cold Pizza") that I bash LeBron just to boost ratings. Wrong! I merely react to what I see or don't see from LeBron, great and bad, and I always back it up with facts.

CES 2011: Ety Plugs — Earplugs from Etymotic Research
Hearing loss is a danger that all of our kids face, but is fortunately one that's preventable. And while foam earplugs will get the job done at a concert or other place with loud noises, they also completely deaden the sound. Ety Plugs from Etymotic Research will keep your kid's ears safe, while still providing great audio quality.
Etymotic ear plugs are inserted into the ear canal sealing off the ear. Sound then passes through Etymotic filters (originally developed for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) so that only what your ears can handle gets through without changing the sound quality. You hear what you want to hear, just at a lower (safer) volume. The ear tips also come in two different sizes for different-sized inner ears.
But are loud rock concerts or NASCAR events the only places you've got to worry about your kid's hearing? Actually, a big danger to students' ears are school bands. According to Etymotic, the daily exposure limit (the amount of time an ear can handle loud sound without damaging the ear) for a marching band is 7 seconds (based on 120 decibel level). With Ety Plugs, a band member can stand much longer durations of loud noise without hearing loss, and without losing the sound quality. In fact, many bands that are using them are finding that they are performing better than they previously were, because the players can now actually hear all of the other instruments.
But whether your kid is in the band at school or not, for $12.95 Ety Plugs are something I'd definitely check out. (Oh, and they also make what I think are the best earbud earphones out there.)
Check them out at Etymotic.com.
[Also: to support school music programs, Etymotic Research has started an "Adopt-A-Band" program, where parents and other sponsors can support a high school band by donating earplugs to the students. You can check that out.]

The fans were exactly as advertised. They would not have arrived on time for my event if Koyal hadn't gone out of their way to help me; the customer service was very impressive.
Purchased these in coral, cornflower blue, and yellow for ladies who attended my daughter's wedding. They added so much color to the wedding and looked really cute in the wedding photos.

Note from Connie: We've told you before about the fact that sugar-powered batteries are being developed, but now it sounds like it's actually going to go on the market sometime in the near future.
My research assistant Jennifer Moore found an interesting item on the National Confectioners Association's website, which reported that the Japanese entertainment conglomerate Sony has created a prototype of a sugar-fueled battery that can power a music player and two speakers. She tells you about it.
To make the "bio battery" work, you'd pour a sugar solution into it, where enzymes break down the sugar and generate electricity.
Sony says it's an environmentally friendly battery, too, since it gets its power from a natural substance grown all over the world. But it's not available for sale yet, and as far as we know, Sony hasn't announced the date.

Following the Cairo Declaration of December 1, 1943, in which the United States, Great Britain, and China announced their determination "to restrain and punish the aggression of Japan" in the Far East theater, the Allies pronounced their policy regarding Japanese war crimes in the Potsdam Declaration on July 26, 1945.
"We do not intend that the Japanese shall be enslaved as a race or destroyed as a nation," read the declaration, "but stern justice shall be meted out to all war criminals, including those who have visited cruelties upon our prisoners."142
About two weeks after the surrender, the Japanese government agreed that the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration would be carried out, and on January 19, 1946, General Douglas MacArthur, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP), issued a special proclamation that announced the establishment of the International Military Tribunal for the Far East (IMTFE).
Eleven judges, nine from the nations that signed the Instrument of Surrender, one from India and one from the Commonwealth of the Philippines, were eventually appointed by the SCAP.
Following months of preparation, the IMTFE, also known as the Tokyo War Crimes Trial, first convened on April 29, 1946, and four days later the prosecution opened its case, charging the defendants with "Conventional War Crimes," "Crimes against Peace," and "Crimes against Humanity." The trial continued for more than two and a half years, hearing testimony from 419 witnesses, and admitting 4,336 exhibits of evidence including depositions and affidavits from 779 other individuals.143
The prosecution began the Nanking phase of its case in July 1946 and Dr. Robert Wilson, a surgeon and a member of the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone, took the witness stand first.
It was at this moment that the majority of Japanese populace first heard about the inconceivable scale and dimension of the Rape of Nanking. "The horrible acts of the Japanese Army have now been revealed to the people for the first time," wrote the Asahi newspaper on July 26.144
"I, myself, observed a whole series of shootings of individual civilians without any provocation or apparent reason whatsoever," testified another witness, Miner Searle Bates, a missionary and a professor of history at the University of Nanking. "The bodies of civilians lay on the streets and alleys in the vicinity of my own house for many days after the Japanese entry."
Bates told the court how the Japanese soldiers systematically and arbitrarily gathered and executed Chinese prisoners of war, how extensively they raped women, including the five different occasions that he had seen with his own eyes, and how painstakingly they looted houses, shops and other buildings.145
Among other members of the International Committee for the Nanking Safety Zone, John Magee also testified in court and George A. Fitch, Lewis Smythe and James McCallum filed affidavits with their diaries and letters.
The collection of their official documents of protest to the Japanese embassy, Documents of the Nanking Safety Zone edited by Hsü Shushi, was also submitted. In the end, a total of 11 people including 5 Chinese survivors took the witness stand and 21 people filed affidavits.146
With the mounting evidence of the Nanking Atrocities presented against him, the commander-in-chief of the China Central Area Army (CCAA), Matsui Iwane, wobbled between denying the mass-scale atrocities and evading his responsibility for what had happened. Eventually he ended up making numerous conflicting statements.
In the interrogation in Sugamo prison preceding the trial Matsui admitted that he heard about the many outrages committed by his troops from Japanese diplomats when he entered Nanking on December 17, 1937.
In court, to the contrary, he told the judges that he was not "officially" briefed at the consulate about the evildoings, presumably to avoid admitting any contact with the consulate officials such as Second Secretary (later Acting Consul-General) Fukui Kiyoshi and Attaché Fukuda Tokuyasu who received and dealt with the protests filed by the International Committee.
In the same interrogation session before the trail Matsui said one officer and three low-ranking soldiers were court-martialed because of their misbehavior in Nanking and the officer was sentenced to death.
In his affidavit he said he ordered his corps to investigate the atrocities and punish the evildoers.
In court, however, Matsui said that he did not have jurisdiction over the soldiers' misconduct since he was not in the position of supervising military discipline and morals. Throughout his testimony, Matsui continued to utter lame excuses.147
There are some episodes that clearly indicate the supreme commander of the CCAA knew exactly what was going on in Nanjing and could not effectively stop his troops going on the rampage.
According to his diary, one day after he made the ceremonial triumphal entry into the city on December 17, 1937, he instructed the chiefs of staff from each division to tighten military discipline and try to eradicate the sense of disdain for Chinese people among their soldiers.148
On February 7, 1938, Matsui delivered a speech at a memorial service for the Japanese officers and men of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force who got killed in action. In front of the high-ranking officers, Domei News Agency reported, he emphasized the necessity to "put an end to various reports affecting the prestige of the Japanese troops."149
The entry for the same day in his diary read, "I could only feel sadness and responsibility today, which has been overwhelmingly piercing my heart. This is caused by the Army's misbehaviors after the fall of Nanking and failure to proceed with the autonomous government and other political plans."150
The mass executions of Chinese prisoners of war, however, were not probably a big concern in Matsui's mind, compared with other atrocities. In fact, the deputy chief of staff under Matsui, fellow defendant Muto Akira, told the International Prosecution Section about Japan's policy on Chinese POWs when interrogated in Sugamo prison before the IMTFE convened. A part of the proceedings read:
IPS: .... Of course, you took prisoners from the Chinese armies?
In court, Muto straightforwardly admitted that what the prosecutors dubbed the Rape of Nanking took place. There were many other Japanese witnesses who acknowledged that there were excesses of Japanese troops in Nanking, though their perceptions as to the scale of the Rape of Nanking varied.
Among the most candid witnesses was Ishii Itaro, the East Asia Bureau chief of the Foreign Ministry. He testified that he was briefed about the rape, arson, looting, and murders from Foreign Ministry offices in Nanjing and Shanghai. In his autobiography, Ishii wrote that he and Foreign Minister Hirota Koki warned the Army to take action many times.
"This is the truth about what was called the 'Holy War,' and the 'Emperor's Military.' From the beginning I dubbed the incidents the 'Nanking Atrocities'.... It left an eternally indelible stain on our history," lamented Ishii in his book.152
In the end the Tribunal connected only two defendants to the Rape of Nanking.
Matsui was convicted of count 55, which charged him with being one of the senior officers who "deliberately and recklessly disregarded their legal duty [by virtue of their respective offices] to take adequate steps to secure the observance [of the Laws and Customs of War] and prevent breaches thereof, and thereby violated the laws of war."
Hirota Koki, who had been the Foreign Minister when Japan conquered Nanjing, was convicted of participating in "the formulation or execution of a common plan or conspiracy" (count 1), waging "a war of aggression and a war in violation of international laws, treaties, agreements and assurances against the Republic of China" (count 27) and count 55.153
On November 12, 1948, on the basis of a simple majority of the eleven judges, Matsui and Hirota, with five other convicted Class-A war criminals, were sentenced to death by hanging. Eighteen others received lesser sentences. The death sentence imposed on Hirota, who was apparently sent to the gallows on the basis of a bare six votes, shocked the general public and prompted a petition on his behalf, which soon gathered over 300,000 signatures, but to no avail.154
Matsui's Buddhist confessor Hanayama wrote of the conversation he had with Matsui on November 29, about three weeks before his hanging. "I am ashamed of the Nanking Incident," said Matsui according to Hanayama.
"After the memorial service, I gathered up everybody and warned them with tears of anger. Both Prince Asaka and Lieutenant General Yanagawa were there. [I told them] we came all the way to stand on the majesty of the Emperor, but the dignity [of the Imperial Army] was lost at a stroke through the brutal acts of the soldiers. But then everyone laughed. To my displeasure, a certain division commander even uttered, 'of course.'"155
Though how much he wished to atone for what had happened is impossible to speculate, he had probably been nurturing some sense of remorse.
After he retired, Matsui built a syncretic sanctuary of a Buddhist temple and a Shinto shrine to deify the spirits of Japanese and Chinese soldiers who died in the China theater and erected the statue of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, in 1940.156 He was said to have visited the place almost every day until he was imprisoned.
From its very beginning, the legitimacy of the IMTFE was questioned by many.
All the eleven justices were from the victor nations. Except for the Indian justice, Radhabinod Pal, no judges had much experience in international law.
Besides, had the trial been in a normal court, some of them would probably have been disqualified.
The Chinese justice, Mei Ju-ao, had no experience as a judge in China or elsewhere.
The U. S. S. R. representative, Major General I. M. Zaryanov, did not speak either Japanese or English, the two official languages of the tribunal.
The Philippine justice, Delfin Jaranilla, was a Bataan Death March survivor.
The Australian justice and the designated president of the tribunal, William Webb, had been involved in an investigation of Japanese atrocities in New Guinea.157
Many argued the Tokyo Charter was ex post facto, or retroactive, legislation. The burden of criminality that made a failure to prevent war crimes also a crime, and the individuals' criminality for acts of states, had never been indictable in international law before the Axis powers' defeat.
Immunity was granted for Emperor Hirohito and his family by the United States. The U. S., it was revealed years later, also decided not to bring certain members of the Japanese Army to court, namely the officers and scientific researchers of Unit 731 who experimented with bacteriological weapons on human guinea pigs in China, in exchange for the research data.158
On the day the judgment was read, five of the eleven justices released separate opinions outside the court.
In his concurring opinion Justice Webb (Australia) took issue with Emperor Hirohito's legal status.
"The suggestion that the Emperor was bound to act on advice is contrary to the evidence," wrote Webb.
While refraining from personal indictment of Hirohito, Webb indicated that Hirohito bore responsibility as a Constitutional Monarch who accepted "ministerial and other advice for war."159
Justice Jaranilla (Philippines) disagreed with the penalties imposed by the tribunal. "They are, in my judgment, too lenient," wrote the justice, "not exemplary and deterrent, and not commensurate with the gravity of the offence or offences committed."160
Justice Henri Bernard (France) pointed out the tribunal's flawed course of action such as the absence of Hirohito and the lack of sufficient deliberations by the judges. "A verdict reached by a Tribunal after a defective procedure cannot be a valid one," concluded Bernard.161
"It is well-nigh impossible to define the concept of initiating or waging a war of aggression both accurately and comprehensively," wrote Justice Bernard V. A. Röling (Netherlands) in his dissenting opinion.
Pointing out the difficulties and limitations in holding individuals responsible for an act of state, and making omission of responsibility a crime, Röling called for the acquittal of several defendants including Hirota.162
Justice Radhabinod Pal (India) produced a 1,235-page judgment in which he dismissed the legitimacy of the IMTFE as mere victor's justice.
"I would hold that each and every one of the accused must be found not guilty of each and every one of the charges in the indictment and should be acquitted on all those charges," concluded Pal.163
It must be noted, however, that Pal did not question whether the Rape of Nanking took place or not.
While taking into account the influence of wartime propaganda, exaggerations and distortions of facts in the evidence, and "over-zealous" and "hostile" witnesses, Pal concluded, "The evidence is still overwhelming that atrocities were perpetrated by the members of the Japanese armed forces against the civilian population of some of the territories occupied by them as also against the prisoners of war."164
No matter how vulnerable the legitimacy of the IMTFE was, Japan accepted the judgment of the tribunal and of the other war crimes trials by the Allied nations, including the Nanking War Crimes Tribunal, at the San Francisco Peace Conference in September 1951.
By 1958, with the consent of a majority of the governments represented on the Tribunal, Japan paroled and released every remaining Class-A war criminals.165
The Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, a Shinto shrine established in 1869 for people to worship "the divine spirits of those who sacrificed themselves for their country,"166 now enshrines some 2.5 million souls including those convicted for war crimes.
The decision to embrace even the Class-A war criminals finally came in 1978. Since then Japanese government officials' visits to the Shrine have occasionally aroused protests in China and other Asian countries.167

Instead of fiddling with weight stacks and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines use your body weight and fitness level to create resistance that matches your abilities, decreasing the risk of soreness or injury.

1997 BEST Brunch, Jazz

Sunday brunch should be a relaxing way to stretch out the end of the weekend and ease into the coming week. Bella Luna is a mellow, funky setting for Full Moon pancakes, French toast, or a Lost in Space breakfast pizza, to the tune of good live jazz that's present and audible without being overly intrusive. And brunch in JP is not only less hectic in Boston proper…it's half the price.

Pre-Hike Setup
Mitch and I left for Crooked Creek Parking parking lot, Yellowwood State Forest, after work to drop my car off at the end of the trail, well 2 miles shy of the end. We got to Morgan-Monroe State Forest around 8:00 PM and setup camp at the campground. We were the only campers that night and was fortunately the only night we had rain.
Day 3
We got up at 7:15 AM today but got started around 8:30 AM. Today was the last day of our hike so our packs felt lighter and we didn't fill up our water bladders. We had figured, from the map, the car was 9 miles away and that we could drop pack at the car before finishing the last 4 miles.
We had a couple of 200-300 foot accents today, one as soon as we hit ...
Day 2
... and I started to have foot and knee issues. I later found that my hiking boots were ready to be retired, lack of tread and sole. We stopped for water at an unmarked creek and at lunch for approximately 30 minutes.
We decided to setup camp within the Yellowwood State Park campgrounds as the the grassy open area describe online by the Hoosier ...
Day 1
We got up at 7:30 AM today but got a late start at around 9:30 AM. It had rained the night before and the weather was still a bit cold at 40 degrees. Mitch and I split the 3 man tent the first day as Ryan met us 4 miles in on the 2nd day. My pack weighed in around 35 lbs and we had 14 miles to hike that day.
Mitch led the entire way, which didn't really change ...
Kenyan orphanage
Wednesday afternoon we visited this wonderful Kenyan orphanage. We basically held babies for hours. Pastor Janice is now the new director for this orphanage. We learned about how it was started and how it runs. We met a doctor who helped to start the pro life movement in Kenya. She runs a ministry that takes in pregnant single mothers. She loves on them and shows them the love of Jesus. Many of the women have given ...

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
This novel featuring London police sergeant Tom Brant (the antihero of 2004's Blitz and 2005's Vixen) finds the unscrupulous detective up against a serial killer who is trying to teach Londoners a gruesome lesson in politeness and civility by viciously murdering rude and inconsiderate people, thank you very much.
\ \ As the so-called Manners Killer begins his reign of terror in southeast London, the brutish Brant -- a huge fan of classic crime fiction like Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novels -- tries his hand at writing. But the novel (working title: Calibre) is temporarily put on hold when Brant vows to track down the etiquette-obsessed killer by any means necessary. With the help of a misfit and oftentimes dysfunctional group of squad members (and one homely prostitute), Brant believes that he has correctly identified the murderer. But with no hard evidence, the corrupt cop goes way outside the parameters of the law to take down his target… \
\ Brant's passion for classic crime fiction -- with frequent references to works by Charles Willeford, Jim Thompson, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, et al. -- and the abundance of priceless hard-boiled one-liners throughout ("Would I kill a kid? No way, José. Not unless he was in a boy band.") make Bruen's Inspector Brant novel a down-and-dirty neo-noir gem. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is an 11. Paul Goat Allen

There's a yogurt out there for everyone. Tangy and crisp, light and sweet, velvety and decadent. Thanks to Kroger, you don't have to pick just one. And even more lucky, Kroger CARBmaster, Greek and Greek Lite yogurts are all healthier options that don't sacrifice taste. Whether you're looking for a low-carb dessert or a protein-rich snack, Kroger has you covered. Who knew good-for-you yogurts could taste this delicious?
Nutritious yogurt varieties that don't skimp on taste, available exclusively at the Kroger family of stores
Want to experience and share great products and services like this? Become a BzzAgent!
As a mother who is concerned daily about my family's sugar intake, Kroger's CARBmaster yogurt is a welcome addition to our diet! With the great cariety of flavors, we are sure to never be bored with this yogurt as a breakfast, snack or dessert. Who would have thought that you could have 'carrot cake' with only 3 grams of sugar? I enjoyed that as my dessert last night! I have to admit that I was leery of the idea of carrot cake flavored yogurt, but it really did taste pretty close to the real thing. It won't be so hard to give up sweets now that I have CARBmaster as an option. My teenage son tried the strawberry flavor as a snack and he didn't even notice the lower sugar content. I picked up 8 different flavors to try and I am confident that they will all be delicious. CARBmaster yogurt is my new go-to yogurt!

Drill Powered Sweet Corn Cleaner
Sweet corn is a favorite around our house but the hassle and time of de-silking the corn makes it a chore to process even for a small batch. Until now hand held de-silking brushes have been the only way for the home grower to remove the silk and even then we still end up pulling off the hair like fibers as we chomp into a fresh ear of corn.

Sri Lanka
A disturbing trend was the rise in violence against religious minorities, led largely by the militant Buddhist group Bodhu Bala Sena (BBS). The government did little to investigate or prevent these attacks. During an ongoing campaign by the BBS targeting Sri Lanka's Muslim population, the secretary to the Ministry of Defence, the president's brother, was the group's guest at a public event. In her September oral report to the HRC, High Commissioner Pillay expressed alarm at the rise in hate speech against religious minorities, and called for more forceful government intervention to prevent violence.
Military Abuses in the North and East
The government contends to have considerably decreased its military presence in the north and east, but credible accounts indicate that military personnel still frequently intervene in civilian life. The Defence Ministry and army websites both regularly post articles about the role of the military in civilian affairs that appear intended to exert control over the local population and development. Independent observers of provincial council elections in September expressed concern about military campaign activities in favor of the ruling party there, and the resulting heightened sense of insecurity and tension among the Tamil population ahead of the elections.
Women and girls in the north and east remained especially vulnerable to sexual harassment and violence that the army neither prevented and may have contributed to. Women's rights groups working in Tamil areas reported particular difficulty documenting abuses because of an oppressive military presence.
Key International Actors
At the March HRC session, the government unsuccessfully tried to block the council from adopting a resolution focusing on accountability for serious wartime abuses. The resolution, backed by the United States and India among others, sets the stage for calling for an independent investigation at the 2014 HRC session if Sri Lanka does not take meaningful steps to implement the resolution.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, as well as the prime minister of Mauritius, did not attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in November in Colombo because of human rights concerns. The prime minister of India also did not attend the summit, citing domestic concerns. The human rights situation in Sri Lanka and lack of accountability for wartime atrocities became the focus of media coverage. United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron attended the summit, and spent much time touring war-ravaged parts of the north and talking to local activists. He publicly said the UK would back an international investigation into war crimes if the Sri Lankan government did not undertake an independent investigation, a position supported by the US and Canada.
China kept up its high-profile engagement and investment in Sri Lanka and vocally opposed the HRC resolution. After pressing for Sri Lanka to hold meaningful provincial council elections, India continued to call for the full implementation of the 13th amendment to the constitution, which calls for devolution of powers to the provinces.

Chad Waters and Matt Rose return to the San Diego Comic Con to re-introduce PMAC: When Zombies Attack!! (which is amazing I might add) to the masses. Sota Toys has picked up the PMAC puppet props for distribution in August and will preview them at booth 4129 (see press release below). Chad and Matt will be on hand to talk about their puppet line and their continued work on the PMAC series, which continues to be broadcasted on MTV UK to raving fans. Check out the press release inside…
SOTA TOYS and GRIMM GROTTO GOODS Unleash WAKER SAFETY PUPPETS
Los Angeles, CA. (4/19/04) — You just can't keep a good zombie
franchise down. Sota Toys and Grimm Grotto Goods are releasing a line of
eerie puppets, as seen in the outrageous short film, Waker Safety (which
can be seen on-line at www.ctc-pr.com/wzabuzz.html), from Chad Waters
and Matt Rose, the same geniuses who brought us P.M.A.C.: When Zombies
Attack!!. Officer Frank Hadley utilizes these monstrous creations to
teach young children how to avoid the horrors of a zombie ("waker")
attack. Although only four zombie puppets were used in Waker Safety,
other puppets have been created to "flesh" out the line, including a
witch and an evil pumpkin head. The 10-inch mechanized hand puppets are
being released at the collectible suggested retail price of $12.99. The
first series of six puppets will be exhumed just in time for Halloween
2004 under the banner "When Puppets Attack!".
What began as an improvisational aside about using puppets to educate
people to the dangers posed by "wakers"–by Frank Rydberg as Officer
Frank, in the original short film P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!!–led
to the creation of another short in the series, entitled Waker Safety.
Told in the scratchy style of old reel-to-reel educational films, Waker
Safety features the zombie puppets prominently, in a cautionary tale of
young Tommy Tendertreat, who foolishly takes a shortcut through a
graveyard on his way home from school one night. The results are
disastrous for young Tommy, but the children get the message and from a
tongue-in-cheek "beginner responsibility" film, a new franchise was
unexpectedly born.
Ironically enough in this age of action figure concepts and fast food
merchandising, the creation of a new line of puppets was not the initial
reason for producing Waker Safety. Creators of the P.M.A.C. series Chad
Waters and Matt Rose had just come off a successful stint creating the
amazing make-up effects for the lead character in the movie, Hellboy,
and were ready to get back to their pet project when the idea of
creating puppets for mass consumption was introduced. "We made the
puppets as props for the video. We weren't really thinking toys," says
Chad Waters. "But when we went to [the San Diego] Comic Con to promote
our video, people were really interested in the puppets and we just kind
of took it from there."
"We hope that if these puppets are popular, then people might also check
our When Zombies Attack!! film. Puppets aren't the only thing that could
come out of it," Waters says. "We could do action figures, video
games… Especially when we expand beyond zombies, we have vampires,
werewolves, other paranormal entities to take on. It's up to the buyers.
If people buy these things, we'll be able to give them more."
P.M.A.C.: When Zombies Attack!! is an outrageous, award-winning
independent short, created by special effects wizards Matt Rose and Chad
Waters as a brilliant spoof of reality television. The film follows a
paranormal clean-up crew–the bureau of Post Mortem Animation Control
(P.M.A.C.), headed by Officer Frank Hadley (Frank Rydberg)–as they
chase down and dispose of the corporally-challenged. It has appeared on
Showtime Next as part of the multi-content series Piratenet, broadcasted
multiple times on MTV UK and can also currently be viewed at IFILM.com
and Hollywood.com. The follow-up short, Waker Safety can now be seen at
Creative partners for six years, at Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios,
Matt Rose and Chad Waters share a combined total of 25 years in the
special effects/make-up field. Together, they have worked on such
memorable characters as: the mummified remains of Mother Bates in Gus
Van Sant's remake of Psycho, the guilty space alien, Mikey, in Men In
Black, the loveable giant gorilla, Joe, in Mighty Joe Young, the corpse
of Samara at the bottom of the well in The Ring, and the big red title
character in Hellboy. Their need to produce their own work led to the
creation of the memorable characters and unforgettable stories behind
the P.M.A.C. Putting their years of combined experience to work through
the formation of Grimm Grotto Goods, not only did the duo create the
make-up, effects, props and costumes for this pilot episode, they also
wrote, produced and directed the project. They are developing further
adventures for Officer Hadley and the P.M.A.C. and are currently in
production on the next installment.

You don't need to use a tool like Virutal Ear to get the full benefit from HRTF technology. Both Aureal and Sensaura have conducted hundreds of hours of listening tests which have resulted in approximations which will sound convincing for most people.
But to each his own. I just think you are hugely mistaken when you dismiss HRTF technology completely.

Middle phalanges (hand)
The middle phalanges (hand), also known as the intermediate phalanges, are bones located in the fingers. Each intermediate phalanx connects to a proximal and distal phalanx. Each proximal phalanx is jointed to the metacarpal bone located in the palm, while each distal phalanx of the finger serves as the tip of the finger, as well as the home of the fingernail. This middle bone has two joints, and allows the finger to bend in two places. The intermediate phalanges are unique to fingers. The thumb does not possess such a bone, as it is only consists of a proximal and distal phalanx. There are reasons why thumbs lack middle phalanges (hand). The thumb is a unique digit in the hand, as it passes a range of motion unique to itself. Not only can the thumb rotate, but it can press against the tips of the all the fingers. Also, the thumb is much shorter than most of the other fingers.

Go5200 / Compaq Presario
I installed driver 1.0-5336 on SUSE 9.0. But configuration with sax2:
sax2 -m 0=nvidia
leads to a black screen with only a couple of colored dots in the upper left corner of the display
Hardware: GeForce FX Go5200 on Compaq Presario B3015 Laptop.
I really appreciate any help !
Re: Go5200 / Compaq Presario
I had the same problem, and fortunately I found a way to solve it.
the problem isn't in the driver but in SAX. After you run the nvidia installer manually edit the configuration file of X11 (/etc/X11/XF86Config).
Modify the section "device" in this way
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
#VideoRam 65536
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
then check that in the /etc/modules.conf file, there is the line
alias char-major-195 nvidia
I also added this line to force SBA and fast write
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
reboot and it should work
Re: Go5200 / Compaq Presario
Hi Joker,
It works !!!!!!!
Thanks a lot !
BTW: Can you provide any tips to make the soundcard working ?
Re: Go5200 / Compaq Presario
I'm sorry, but I haven't solved the problem with the alsa driver yet.
Now I'm using oss module i810_audio, that is the standard module of the 2.4 kernel.
