Legal alternatives for obtaining music, videos, and TV >
Peer-to-peer filesharing is a term used to describe
when your computer is sharing files such as music and/or videos to
other personal computers. It is quite simple; it seems like you
can get things for free; it seems like everyone is doing it.
How can it be wrong? Well, it may be. Peer-to-peer filesharing
and the programs that do it have some serious problems.
Running peer-to-peer programs has adverse effects on our network
and incurs risk both for the individual and for the College.
Copyright holders are increasingly seeking legal action and
aggressively pursuing violators.
Copyright infringement is the act of exercising, without permission
or legal authority, one or more of the exclusive rights granted to the
copyright owner under section 106 of the Copyright Act (Title 17 of
the United States Code). These rights include the right to reproduce or
distribute a copyrighted work. In the file-sharing context, downloading
or uploading substantial parts of a copyrighted work without authority
constitutes an infringement.
Penalties for copyright infringement include civil and
criminal penalties. In general, anyone found liable for civil
copyright infringement may be ordered to pay either actual damages or
"statutory" damages affixed at not less than $750 and not more
than $30,000 per work infringed. For "willful" infringement,
a court may award up to $150,000 per work infringed. A court can, in
its discretion, also assess costs and attorneys' fees. For details,
see Title 17, United States Code, Sections 504, 505.
Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal
penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up
to $250,000 per offense.
For more information, please see the Web site of the
U.S. Copyright Office at www.copyright.gov, especially their FAQ's at
www.copyright.gov/help/faq (in a new window or tab).
In April 2004, it was announced that the music industry is
suing 477 more computer users. They have continued this practice.
Students at Amherst College, Mount Holyoke College, and UMass have
faced such lawsuits.
In recent years, the RIAA has continued to become more aggressive in its efforts to
curtail copyright infringements (see the information on "early
settlement letters" below). In 2007 more than 10 Mount Holyoke College
students faced RIAA lawsuits.
There are
legal alternatives for obtaining music, videos, and TV may be found here (opens in new window or tab).
If possible, you will be informed of this complaint so that you
can respond appropriately (which usually amounts to removing the
infringing material).
Unfortunately, if we do not know the owner of the blocked
ethernet address (also called "hardware address" or "MAC address"),
we would not be able to inform you of the complaint. In
that case, the helpdesk can help you determine if your ethernet
address is blocked and, if so, have the copyright complaint
notification sent to you.
To have your machine reinstated for Internet access, the College
must be assured that you are not illegally serving any copyrighted
materials to any other computer, on campus or off.
You need
to reply to all recipients of the notification of copyright violation
complaint, following the instructions in the complaint message.
Unlike the copyright infringement complaint described above,
the College may be presented
with a statement of intent to file a lawsuit against an alleged
copyright infringer.
The RIAA has used these statements of intent to provide a mechanism
for what they call early settlement so that the individual
can avoid a lawsuit. In 2007 we heard that these early settlements
were $3000, but that number could change. The RIAA asserts that
the cost to settle increases if they have to issue a subpoena to
determine the identity the alleged copyright infringer.
If the College receives such a message, we forward the electronic letter
to your College email address so that you can make an informed
decision how to proceed.
The College may be served with a subpoena to reveal the identity
of the individual whose computer was engaged in copyright infringement.
This action is a necessary pre-condition for a lawsuit since the College
does not provide the identity without a subpoena.
Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the College is
not a party to any copyright related lawsuits with students. Legally,
the College is functioning as an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The College is not passing judgement on whether or not the allegations
are valid.
We are very sorry, but the College is not able to provide any legal advice
on how to proceed. That is up to you. It is important that you read
any information you receive about such matters very carefully.
If you get into this kind of situation, it is best to involve your
family in discussions and consider obtaining legal advice from
your own attorney.
Do not be lulled into a sense of security because you see "everyone
doing it". Whether or not others are, it is contrary to current
copyright law and it can have very expensive consequences.

Film critic turns to hate horror movies

Lol. I remember going to the screening of the first film on a Wednesday night. I had loved the slasher films of the 80's and wasn't ready for the genre to die off. I didn't care for the actors (I still don't). When I see Courtney Cox in Cougar Town (my wife watches it), I start looking for a cyanide pill...it's that bad. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I had high expectations being a Wes Craven film. After the beginning with Drew Barrymore, it just lost me. I was familiar with the slasher horror cliches already, and it just seemed as though the entire genre was being mocked. I didn't understand it's massive success, and just chalked it up to "It wasn't made for me, I don't get it (like The Hangover)." Therefore I never revisited it or watched any of the sequels. That was however what, 20 years ago? My mindset may be completely different now.
When I first saw it, it actually punched me a bit. I was shaking when it was over. Which is how I know it works as a horror film. But for years while I was figuring it out, I knew the movie was much more than just a joke or some light ironic twists.
Of course I was excited after
to start renting all the slashers I missed. But most of them sucked (the exceptions are few:
Friday the 13th
and sequels,
Just Before Dawn
, and Jack Sholder's
Alone in the Dark
is just a bit more take it than leave it). And I don't think
was even trying to paint the genre in a negative light, even on Williamson's end- if you paid attention to Sidney, I think you know she was a sympathetic character (ish) but the movie was not siding with her point of view at all. She was shown as naïve in every way a character could be- she trusted the killer, was hellbent on seeing an innocent guy killed for her mother's murder, went upstairs when being chased 1 minute after saying she'd go out the front door, claimed that movies turn people into killers when you know both Craven and Williamson have both stated that's horseshit. The list basically goes on.
When the movie's over, sure she gets a snappy one-liner but she's also pushed aside (ambulance'd or car'd away by the sheriff) while Gale Weathers swoops in, in true-to-her-character opportunism and glory-hounding, to continue using other people's misery for her own benefit... And that's the end of the film.
I've heard the "it's about mocking the genre" thing quite a few times. Can you remember the last time a reporter was a major character in a horror / slasher film?
Hellraiser III
is the best I've got. I think the point of the film was to challenge the attitudes of people outside who look in and judge others. Then, if you remember
Serial Mom
, you have a good idea of where kids get the idea to do that.
is a brilliant film and still, no one seems to know why.
Just 'cuz, you should be reading it.

FORT WORTH, Texas - - Florists and balloonists in North Texas and elsewhere say the prices they're paying for helium are sky-high.
The Fort Star-Telegram reports that helium is getting more expensive and more difficult to find. Francey Freeman, the owner of a Fort Worth balloon store, says prices have quadrupled with no signs of slowing down. Some grocery stores have stopped selling helium tanks altogether.
Texas is home to the nation's only federal helium reserve, located near Amarillo. But federal law requires the reserve to sell off all of its helium by 2015.
Some warn of a looming helium shortage and are calling on Congress to change the law.
Besides filling balloons, helium also cools MRI machines and is used in a variety of electronics.

The NBA Finals: The Ultimate Game of Adjustments
Image by Christian Petersen/Getty Images
The chess game that is the NBA finals is in full effect. Game 1 was the most competitive game of the series as both teams felt each other out like two heavy weight fighters in round 1 of a title bout before going back to their corners. The Heat made the proper adjustments in Game 2 to come away with a victory while San Antonio responded in Game 3 with 36 points worth of adjustments. What should we expect in Game 4?
Game 2 adjustments made by the Heat
Play the two-man lineup combination of Ray Allen and Mike Miller
In their Game 1 loss, the Heat were +11 in the 16 minutes Allen and Miller shared the court (best of any 2 player combination). The Heat made five three-pointers during this stretch and shot 48% from the field. The Spurs are a solid defensive team, but they are average at defending the three. The Golden State Warriors were able to hand the Spurs two losses in the playoffs because of their ability to spread the floor with shooters.
In Game 2, the Heat were +21 in the 13 minutes that Allen and Miller were on the court together making 5-6 three's and shooting 73% from the field. More importantly, coach Spoelstra went to a lineup with Allen and Miller to start the 4th quarter, and that lineup outscored the Spurs by 17 points in 7 minutes to blow Game 3 open and secure a victory Miami in what was otherwise an extremely close game.
Get Chris Bosh off the Perimeter and into the Paint
Chris Bosh literally lived on the perimeter in Game 1 and was not present in the paint on offense. Bosh's stat line of 37% FG shooting, 4 defensive rebounds, 1 offensive rebound and 4 three-point attempts say a lot about his futility but there's more. On the 58 half-court possession that Bosh was on the court for the Heat, he established position in the paint only 15 times (position in the paint includes drives into the paint, post ups and being in the paint when a shot attempt goes up. This statistic was independently collectet). The rare times that Bosh was in the paint he was often in poor offensive rebounding position. For the other 43 possessions, Bosh could be found dancing around the three-point line.
Bosh's poor offensive rebounding position in Game 1
As a center, Bosh should always have more offensive rebounds than three point attempts and his court positioning is directly correlated to his impact on the heat offense.
In Game 2, Bosh came out of the gates looking to establish post position. In the first quarter, Bosh established post position on 9 of 11 half court possessions and for the game established post position on 22 out of 35 half court possessions. Bosh's activity banging in the paint led to numerous tip outs and forced Tim Duncan/Tiago Splitter to monitor his movements rather than just locking in on the player with the ball. Bosh also made a concerted effort to catch the ball in the 16-20 feet range rather than at the three-point line. Bosh's Game 2 stat line: 60% FG shooting, 6 defensive rebounds, 4 offensive rebounds and 0 three point shots.
Bosh's improved post positioning and put-back in Game 2 after LeBron missed shot
Game 3 adjustments made by the Spurs
Force LeBron back into bad habits
During the Eastern Conference Finals, I wrote about LeBron's propensity to settle for outside shots instead of being aggressive and driving to the basket. LeBron and the Miami Heat are not the same when LeBron is chucking up three's and jump shots. Yes, LeBron can make this shot and has vastly improved his jump shooting, but this is the least reliable part of his game. In Game 3, San Antonio gave LeBron (and Dwayne Wade) a free pass to take jump shots by playing off him on defense and going under all screens. LeBron responded by accepting the challenge and proceeded to go 2-14 on shots outside of the paint.
Go Small
Yes, as odd as that sounds, going small was advantageous for the Spurs in Game 3. Miami's weakness all season has been rebounding, and they do play better against smaller teams, but the Spurs went small to spread out the Heat defense just like the Heat attempted to spread them out by pairing Ray Allen and Mike Miller on the court. Aside from the first 8 minutes of the game, coach Popevich did not play Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter together. Pop rather play numerous lineups that featured 3 guards, Kawhi Leonard at the power forward position and Tim Duncan or Tiago Splitter at the center position. Leonard's impressive rebounding during Games 1 and 2 (10 in G1 and 14 in G2) certainly providing Pop with the confidence to go small without fearing that the Spurs would lose their advantage boards. Kawhi responded with 12 rebounds in Game 3.
Is this the right strategy to go with for the rest of the series? I don't think so, but it worked in Game 3 because the Heat were not expecting to see 4 guard lineups. Udonis Haslem was yielded useless in Game 3 as he played only 10 minutes, and the three-point shooting exhibition (NBA Finals record 16 three's) that San Antonio put on sealed the deal.
Game 4 Adjustments (we might see)
Miami Heat
Miami should look to establish LeBron on the post with more regularity. Running the offense through LeBron on the post maximizes the potential of the Heat offense.
- LeBron is stronger that any defender that San Antonio can throw at him and has the ability to establish post position and deep post position
- Dwayne Wade has looked his best cutting to the rim, and this is the off-ball movement that is afforded when LeBron is in the post.
- Once LeBron catches the ball in the post, the defense can either collapse or allow LeBron to work 1on1 against his defender. A collapsing defense into the paint has a longer distance to recover if LeBron kicks the ball to his shooters camped out beyond the three-point line
- Post ups and shot taken in the paint have a greater chance for offensive rebounds. If LeBron is in the vicinity of the paint, he is nearly unstoppable
The sequence below from Game 1 is the perfect example of what the Miami offense should look like. Post Lebron, spread the court and have Wade cut into the paint, have LeBron make an aggressive move and draw a multiple defenders (in this case 3), make the pass to a wide open shooter in the corner who now has the option to shoot or pump fake and drive and have Bosh in offensive rebounding position.
San Antonio Spurs
To attempt to predict what coach Popovich will do in Game 4 is just a lose-lose proposition, but I'll do my best to get into the mind of Pop the Great. Gary Neal has been the best Spur off the bench in these NBA Finals. Manu Ginobili on the other hand, has been unpredictable at best and has looked lost on both the offensive and defensive ends. Coming into Game 4, Ginobili is averaging 25.4 minutes per game during the playoffs while Neal is averaging 16.9 minutes.
Still, during these playoffs, the Spurs have a net rating (offensive rating minus defensive rating) of 12.5 when Ginobili is on the court compared to a net rating of 7.6 when he is off the court. Pop has been with Ginobili through many playoff battles, but Neal is deserving of more playing time if he continues to shoot the lights out.

'Restrepo' and 'The Oath' Show Different Perspectives on the War on Terror
The flicker of the newsreel defined World War II and Korea for viewers on the homefront, while Vietnam was the "television war," with grainy color 16mm unspooling on the nightly news. The first Gulf War was glowing green night-vision footage and smart munitions obliterating targets as filtered through the abstractly smooth cruise of sky-high aerial surveillance. Digital video is the medium of America's post Sept. 11 wars. Light, unobtrusive, affordable, capable of going anywhere and capturing almost anything, it has fueled an ever-growing number of cinematic accounts of what it's like on the ground in Iraq or Afghanistan, within the U.S. lines or without. Reporters and soldiers return home and write books, many of them indelible accounts, but it's not hard to imagine that such documentary footage will provide and deepen our understanding of these conflicts, in the years to come, and in the decades after that. Two new documentaries not only provide glimpses of almost unimaginable situations half a world away, they also hint at how much interpreting of this footage we all have left to do.
Journalist Sebastian Junger and photojournalist Tim Hetherington spent the better part of a year embedded with the U.S. Army's Battle Company of the 503rd Infantry at a far-forward base in the Korengal Valley, an isolated hotbed of Taliban activity. They came back with Restrepo (Virgil DVD and Blu-ray), as intimate an account of American troops fighting the "war on terror" as we've yet seen. That intimacy comes from the intimacy of the embed; Junger and Hetherington weren't retreating to a hotel in the Green Zone every night, but roughing it with the soldiers on the scrubby slopes of the Korengal, burning their own feces and ducking under near constant fire, armed only with DV cameras.
The one framing device used in this straightforward account involves the figure who looms largest over Battle Company's tour and the resulting film: Pfc. Juan "Doc" Restrepo. Introduced mugging for a home-video camera in the first scene, Restrepo was killed soon after the company moved into its crude new base. The death of such a beloved member of the unit clearly haunts the men, and when they establish another forward base from the forward base, they name the tiny hand-dug outpost after him. His memory is always with them, as is, no doubt, the memory of what happened to him.
Restrepo features much that's familiar from similar accounts—go-nowhere meetings with local leaders, profane bullshit sessions, soldiers blowing off steam by silly dancing to cheesy disco—but also things never seen in a wartime doc before. During one of the many firefights the filmmakers are on hand for, tracers go zipping across the Korengal's vertiginous terrain in an image as unforgettable as any seen onscreen this year. And when another loved and respected member of the company is killed in a firefight, Junger and Hetherington are right there, capturing the troops' reactions. One soldier bursts out crying, a response both startling and moving in its humble humanity. One soldier interviewed mentions reservations about dubbing the forward base Restrepo—it was, after all, a horrible place. It must be a source of enormous satisfaction and pride for all involved that a film this compelling and important bears his name.
The Oath (Zeitgeist DVD) presents an altogether different view of the war between America and Islamic extremists over the past decade, with an altogether more ambiguous figure at its center. Laura Poitras' documentary focuses on two men, in fact: Abu Jandal, once a committed member of Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden's personal bodyguard, and Salim Hamdan, Jandal's brother-in-law and once a driver for the Al-Qaeda leader. Firebrand Jandal recruited Hamdan for jihad, and in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks, Hamdan was arrested and detained at Guantanamo Bay. Jandal was arrested, too, but he cooperated with the American FBI; the beginning of the war in Afghanistan still going on in Restrepo was delayed while agents debriefed him.
Poitras's cameras find Jandal free and working as a taxi driver in Yemen. He has earnest discussions with devout young men, telling them stories of his glory days as a jihadist, but he demurs when it comes to whether or not he's "recruiting" them. He disavows the Sept. 11 attacks, and then disavows his disavowal. And he allows Poitras to place a camera in his cab, trained on his face, as he chats with, cajoles, and lies to his fares. It seems he is who he appears to be—a former member of Al-Qaeda's inner circle—but the extent to which he is or is not that same person now is unknowable. Meanwhile, Hamdan serves an indefinite detention at Guantanamo, sues Donald Rumsfeld, is the first detainee convicted at a tribunal, finishes his sentence, and returns home to Yemen never having spoken to Poitras or any Western media, coming off rather well in absentia compared to his brother-in-law. The Oath is an enormously subtle film, not least in showing that what these two men were to blame for and to what extent they deserve what they each got is unknowable as well.

Les pêcheurs de perles dates from 1863 and represents much more than a mere operatic exercise written by a twenty-five-year-old composer. Pêcheurs is, as a matter of fact, the only other Bizet opera, beside Carmen, to have remained in the repertoire. This opera contains memorable passages, which have ensured its long-lasting success and which many great singers (beginning with Caruso) have recorded and performed: for example the aria of Nadir Je crois entendre encore; the beautiful aria of Léïla Comme autrefois, dans la nuit sombre and, above all, the superb duet between Léïla and Nadir Ton cour n'a pas compris le mien.
This Venetian production features an extraordinary Annick Massis as Léïla and the refined staging of Pier Luigi Pizzi.

Chœur & Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Michel Plasson
Michel Plasson has long been one of the world's most fervent champions of French music. Whether in charge of the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse or the Dresdner Philharmoniker, or in the course of regular guest engagements, he has been the staunch advocate of a sometimes undervalued heritage. Today, he continues in his extraordinary mission with such orchestras as the China National Symphony, of which he is Principal Conductor.
A tireless artist, if he leaves the concert platform it is for the orchestra pit of an opera house: beyond his activities in the symphonic repertoire, showcased in a previous boxed set from EMI Classics, he is also a noted conductor in the theatre. In recent years, he has led Carmen in Shanghai, Thaïs in Athens, Le Roi d'Ys in Beijing, La Damnation de Faust in Tokyo – and at Paris's Opéra Bastille, a production of Werther that will long be remembered. Fittingly, his operatic repertoire has been captured on disc.
His 1979 Werther, a set not included in this box, was recorded with the London Philharmonic rather than with his Toulouse orchestra, which appears in all the operas assembled here. Alfredo Kraus sang the title role opposite the warm-hearted Charlotte of Tatiana Troyanos. In the increasingly international word of opera, stars come at a premium, but they need worthy singers around them, and that set introduced some rising French talent such as Christine Barbaux and Jean-Philippe Lafont. Subsequent operatic recordings followed this model. The first of these was Manon from 1982, recorded with the Toulouse forces that henceforward became a fixture. Kraus, here a delicate Des Grieux, succumbed to the precious charms of Ileana Cotrubas, while José Van Dam, in his absolute prime, brought all his nobility to Count Des Grieux, and young singers in the early stages of their careers, like Ghyslaine Raphanel and Colette Alliot-Lugaz, were given valuable exposure.
Surprisingly, until the release of the complete Hérodiade, a set made in 1994, the only studio recordings of the opera were two discs of highlights – one of them, in any case rather undistinguished, was showing its age, while the other's incompleteness proved all the more tantalising for the splendour of its cast: Régine Crespin, Rita Gorr, Albert Lance and Michel Dens. The arrival of Plasson's team – Cheryl Studer, Nadine Denize, Ben Heppner, Thomas Hampson and José Van Dam – was thus all the more eagerly awaited. It fulfilled all expectations and the recording put Hérodiade, which for several decades after its premiere had been a fixture in opera houses, back on the agenda.
Maybe the gem among these four Massenet recordings is the Don Quichotte of 1992, with Van Dam in a signature role that he chose for his farewell to his 'home' opera house, La Monnaie in Brussels. Alain Fondary, as his faithful Sancho Pança, gives a lesson in Gallic style, while Teresa Berganza, in the Indian summer of her career, is a lovable, vulnerable Dulcinée. The young singers lined up for this recording were Marie-Ange Todorovitch, Christian Papis, Isabelle Vernet and Nicolas Rivenq. By the time the recording was made, the productive relationship between Plasson and the musicians of the Capitole de Toulouse was nearly 25 years old. The orchestra, renowned in France and around the world, had developed a richness of sound that did not preclude clarity, while Plasson had established a style – eloquent and precise in expression, never overstated, with naturally balanced tempi. More than just 'typically French', it favours simplicity over effect or overblown sonority and illuminates Massenet's inspired orchestral writing.
With a precedent established and the route opened, it was a matter of fulfilling ambitions through hard work and perseverance. Further success awaited, like Mireille in 1979, with the charming Mirella Freni, sweet and full of tone, the authoritative Jane Rhodes, the elegant Alain Vanzo and the powerful presences of Gabriel Bacquier and Van Dam, all in a landmark interpretation of a work that has been shamefully neglected on disc. And then there is Faust in a recording that reflects the composer's original wishes (and also includes an appendix with the numbers that were discarded or replaced, for instance Méphistophélès' 'Song of the Beetle', superseded by the famous 'Song of the Golden Calf', and certain short episodes cut for reasons of dramatic flow). It is gratifying when a recording respects musicological considerations – and features a cast of the quality of Cheryl Studer, Richard Leech, Thomas Hampson and, once again, José Van Dam.
Plasson led two recordings Gounod's Roméo et Juliette, the first in 1982 with Alfredo Kraus and Catherine Malfitano, and the second thirteen years later in 1995 with Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu; Alagna, establishing himself as the world's most popular French tenor gave a vibrant interpretation of the most famous lover in Shakespeare. He again showed his mettle in the 2002 recording of Carmen, with Gheorghiu incandescent in the title role. The distinguished Bizet scholar Hervé Lacombe explains that this version – opéra rather than opéra-comique – uses the recitatives prepared by d'Ernest Guiraud in place of dialogue, but includes the Act 1 scene and pantomime with Moralès that Guiraud had removed, presumably for the sake of the drama. The recording also offers something of a discovery: an initial draft of the 'Habanera', later replaced by the aria we know and love.
Another return to original sources came with the recording of the 1863 version of Bizet's Les Pêcheurs de perles, made in 1989 with Barbara Hendricks, at her loveliest as Leila: in this version, Zurga is not stabbed to death after he has helped the lovers escape, the Leila/Zurga duet, also in the final act, takes a different shape and the celebrated tenor/baritone duet between Nadir and Zurga from Act 1 concludes with a simple verse 'Amitié sainte', discarded when the opera was revived in 1893. If the work has achieved popularity over the years, it was not a great success at its premiere.
Lakmé, recorded in 1997, again offers Van Dam, this time as Nilakantha, and, in the title role, Natalie Dessay, proving a more than worthy successor to Lily Pons, Mado Robin and Mady Mesplé. If Lakmé represents something of a one-off, so even more do Albéric Magnard's epic Guercœur, recorded in 1986, and Albert Roussel's Padmâvatî, from 1983. It took some bravery on Plasson's part to present such little-known works to the musical public, even if he could count on the presence of such names as Hildegard Behrens, Marilyn Horne, Nicolai Gedda and Van Dam. By choosing to do so, he showed himself to be a true proponent of French music – one of the few people to have assumed this role.
When it comes to Offenbach and opéra-bouffe, Plasson and his musicians from Toulouse can be relied upon never to descend into easy and distorting vulgarity, and more than a touch of glamour is assured by the presence in La Belle Hélène (recorded in 1984) of the sensuous Jessye Norman and in La Périchole (1981) of two Spaniards in Mexico: the inimitably elegant Teresa Berganza and – the very epitome of the latin lover – José Carreras. Complementing them are Bacquier, providing a brilliant comic turn, and a supporting cast featuring Michel Sénéchal and Michel Trempont. La Vie parisienne (1976) and Orphée aux Enfers (1978) bring almost entirely French line-ups, with luxury casting in the form of Régine Crespin as Métella and Mady Mesplé as the glove-maker Gabrielle. Orphée, presented in its second version, dating from 1874, is a four-act 'fairytale opera' brought to rollicking life by a cast including Jane Rhodes, Mady Mesplé, Michel Sénéchal, Jane Berbié, and Charles Burles, all impeccably versed in authentic French wit: humour, fantasy and dynamism, but with a sense of class, decorum and restraint. Plasson and his colleagues bring distinction to Offenbach, adding the necessary sparkle to his lightness of touch – and further lustre to the reputation of French opera.

Suggestions for Curriculum to Recap Elementary School?
Community Question is a category inspired by you. Here and there readers write in with questions that are better served by the varied, experiential knowledge of those who read and contribute in the comments.
The following question is from Tiff.
"My family and I are moving this summer to Italy for a few years. While I hear that the DOD schools are great, I'm concerned for my son. He has a textbook case of ADHD and has had great difficulty with attention and focus over the years. His teachers have always worked with him to keep his grades up and this year, he is finally showing the ability to do his own work.
Since he has always been off in his own world, he has missed out on most of the fundamentals of elementary school. He is supposed to start middle school next year and I am very nervous about sending him off unprepared. I am looking at doing some homeschooling this summer to catch him back up, and possibly doing more next year if he doesn't seem ready to rejoin public school by the Fall.
Can you recommend any curriculum that might cover a condensed version of the entirety of elementary school? I'm nervous that if I don't do this, he'll be lumped in with the "dumb" kids, even though he is very intelligent and has a high IQ.
Thank you in advance!
Do you have any curriculum suggestions for Tiff to help review/catch-up her son this summer?

Given the time you've have, I would start with reading and math. If he has those, then he can likely pick up the others. I don't know of any curriculum that will cover it all, but you could let him take the placement tests (I know Singapore math has them–http://www.singaporemath.com/Placement_Test_s/86.htm). See where any gaps are and find math practice for those specific areas. Kumon has books for specific areas (fractions, for instance) or if he just needs basic review, I do like Singapore's program.
For reading, just read. Alot. Have him read out loud to you, so you can see any gaps. Ask questions to be sure he's processing it. Have him write answers sometimes too, to see if he can hold the thought while he writes, and give him practice in any area he struggles with. You can have him read things he enjoys plus a few nonfiction books that cover some of those topics that might help in other classes–like social studies and science.
You all will do great!
Kristi P On Friday, June 14 at 7:15 am
He is lucky to have you as his mom! I am a big proponent of reading the classics. These stories teach proper grammar, spelling, history and structure, as well as "ear training" (what a sentence should sound like). Gary Tang has written some wonderful math books that are fun and educational – "The Grapes of Math" is the only one I remember off the top of my head. Science and history can be hands-on – museums, historic sites, kitchen experiments (Van Cleave books are great). Blessings on the journey and enjoy Italy!

I do not have a specific curriculum that covers the elementary years. However, looking forward to the future of middle school I would I highly recommend "How to Discover and Develop Your Child's Strengths" by Jenifer Fox. It is a guide for parents (and teachers) to help nurture the strengths in each child. I think it would help you to greatly encourage your son and build his confidence. I learned from Fox that many times what we see as weaknesses are actually strengths that can be inspired and used in unique ways to help children learn. Best of luck to your son as he grows and learns. I know all children are intelligent and ready to learn! My son is a unique learner and I know he would not fit neatly into a little box.
Linne On Friday, June 14 at 5:37 pm
Jeannine, it's so encouraging to see a reference to building on strengths (after figuring them out, of course); the admins at my last employment were given the evaluation from the StrengthsFinder book. I was let go because of the results, but it was still one of the best things I've done in my life.
I wasn't surprised at my top five strengths (they only tell you five with the code that comes with each book; if you want to see the entire ranking, you have to pay around $600. Not worth it, really, as the top five are the best to work with anyway)
As you mention, others had always seen my strengths as weaknesses and I had tried hard for most of my life to change them; to replace them with more acceptable strengths. Of course this never works. The book makes the point, too, that most times people are encouraged to work on their weaknesses. The book suggests it is far better to capitalize on our strengths. If I'd known this when I was in my 20s or 30s, much of my life would have been very different.
Your son is lucky that you understand that he is a unique learner (I am, too) and will work with him as he is.
Thanks for bringing this into the discussion. I wish every parent knew their own top strengths and those of their children. Teachers should know, too. Looking back, I can see how much we all try to get others to be like us, instead of appreciating the differrent strengths of each person.
Once you read the book and see the definitions for all 30+ strengths, you begin to understand other people so much better. There are so many different possible combinations of five strengths, after all.
Thanks again. ~ Linne
Aylie On Saturday, June 15 at 7:23 am
I agree with you that every kids are unique learner. There are many ways of learning things particularly for our great kids. They are all potential learner and very intelligent. We have create the environment too beautiful and so much to descent to our kids. We require them to learn a lot from every angle of learning journey. That's why it is hard for them to catch up for they are psychologically and mentally not ready to embrace everything. I think it is better off giving them some space to learn based on their interests. From there, we help them focus toward specific area and direct them in those fields.
Home schooling might be good start however we need to strive with the accreditation. As we care about our generation, every thought and efforts should be appreciated to some extent, thrived, and retained as our duties to carry on our future generation. Other than that, private school and online learning would be other options. I believe we are on the same boat with other parents and educational institution as well. Therefore, sharing our thoughts to others is a good way to deliver the idea for us to think about it together.
Happy sharing and hope the better for our kids' future
Judith C On Friday, June 14 at 7:57 am
As a teacher who successfully raised a son with ADD, I agree that you need to stress reading and math, plus add handwriting practice. For the math, I suggest using flash cards to review and reenforce multiplication and division as well as addition and subtraction. I believe in daily drill on these skills. For reading, get both a printed book and either the CD or tape so that he hears the professional reader and sees the words and follows along. Combining visual and auditory learning is very important to help keep him focused. Short periods is review several times a day work best with the time increasing in small increments. Once he finishes a book, get the movie for both if you to watch. Then discuss the differences I. The book and the movie. I use this tactic with my reading students. I hope this helps.
kellymarie On Friday, June 14 at 8:15 am
This was great advice… My son has ADHD along with some other LD's and what Judith just explained, is something my sons therapists have passed down to me..
farmwifetwo On Friday, June 14 at 8:01 am
Agree with the math and reading. Making certain basic concepts are known, add, sub, mult, div, are memorizes. I prefer Saxon math. Also level readers like step into reading if he is having difficulty. Level 4 and 5 books are short and with pictures but not juvenile and come in many non fiction topics.
Donna On Friday, June 14 at 8:18 am
I concur with the others here (reading and math skills).
Also: pray. Ask God to help you and He will. God cares even more for your child than you do, so pray about tackling this, and pray each and every day before you start for God to guide you through the day and bless your (and your son's) efforts.
James 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

The 'Big' workbooks, such as: The Big fourth grade, The Big second grade, one for every grade level– are super for over the summer. They have them in every grade and are just plain fun with a ton of learning. Have been using them with my kids for 20+ years.
Staci On Friday, June 14 at 3:47 pm
We love those for the summer. My kids pick two pages from the language arts and two from math each day to complete before they can go off on their own. They have quickly learned about budgeting and not using up all the easier pages first. : ) But it is a good, short review of many things they have done over the past year – and sometimes an introduction to something we are going to cover in the coming year.
Abbe PB On Friday, June 14 at 8:50 am
I would also recommend Saxon for this particular situation – they start with a very heavy review of the basics, and are very repetitive. If he has a "bad day" as far as focusing, he doesn't necessarily have to keep repeating the exact same lesson over and over because the same problem type will continue to show up for many future lessons. He will get the opportunity to keep practicing and show you whether or not he has grasped the concepts, or if he does need further review – this in turn will give him a better sense of progress, and give you a better sense of how he is doing.
I would also spend some time trying to assess what his learning styles are, and try to take note of what makes a "good" learning experience for him, vs. a "bad" one. See if you can tell what methods he is using to cope or focus, and help him translate those into mindful techniques he can use in the future. This may involve a lot of talking with him to try to gain insight, such as approaching him, letting him know you noticed it was a good/bad experience for him, and asking him if he can explain to you what he thinks made it good or bad. It may take a while, especially as children have a tendency to blame external factors (the lesson was boring, the birds were singing, the content was interesting, etc.) but if you push him a bit to find out what was going on in his head and how he feels about the experience, you may be able to help guide him to reframe his thinking in the moment. With practice, this can be an excellent skill he can utilize to help him both in and out of school.
Learning is everywhere On Friday, June 14 at 9:09 am
I too understand the trials of moving and keeping children on level in school. I've never used a DOD school as we are never stationed near a base. I also hear good things though. I love to use online math and reading games such as Sumdog. My kids groan about flashcards, but Sylvan makes good workbooks. I use learning apps as well on iPhone/ipad. It makes the kids think they're playing, drawing the attention in. I agree with the other comments – reading, reading, reading. Any series that is action packed and draws the children in, possibly a fantasy genre. What does he really like? Space? Animals? How things work? There are tons of documentaries on things he likes. My son likes the space documentaries narrated my Morgan Freeman. These suggestions are portable and autonomous. That way, if you are packing out and traveling, the kids can easily escape into learning. Don't forget the zoo and various museums though for hands on learning. Safe travels and happy move!
Andrea On Friday, June 14 at 10:34 am
I would try out Xtramath.org for drill practice. I love it for my kids because there is no distracting bling or flashy lights or anything. It is just drill. I also like working in grammar through writing. You might explain the famous LEGO essay style to him as that is very visual and then have him work on paragraph and essay structures throughout the summer. I let my 5th grader pick her topic (she just wrote a paragraph on acid rain???) so she is more involved, and then we work on spelling and grammar within the context of what she wrote. I find that very effective for my own children and the students I taught (I was an English teacher for grade 7).
If you want a more comprehensive grammar program I would get Rod and Staff grammar because they do sentence diagramming and that is still (in my opinion) the best way to teach grammar.
For science I would do science through cooking to keep things light. My kids are learning about yeast right now so we did a sourdough starter, etc.

"Dumb" kids? Poor choice of words.
Jennifer On Friday, June 14 at 12:50 pm
I agree kids are not dumb because they were born with l warning disabilities. I don't have kids with disabilities and took offense to it.
MicheleP On Friday, June 14 at 4:51 pm
Thank you Rose – agreed, after reading the whole request, I couldn't remember anything but the 'dumb' comment. Those 'dumb' children may have other disabilities or situations you are unaware of. Sad that someone with a child with different abilities can so carelessly categorize other children in such a way. . .
Granny Bee On Friday, June 14 at 8:30 pm
"Dumb kids" Very offensive, indeed!
E's Mommy On Tuesday, June 18 at 10:53 pm
Yes, given the choice of words I'm very sad that this question was published on this site. When is it okay to refer to any group of people as "dumb", regardless of IQ? There are so many ways Tiff could have explained her concerns without using derogatory language. I'm disappointed in the language that was used and disappointed that this question was posted as written, which implies to me that the wording wasn't recognized as problematic or hurtful.
Tiff On Tuesday, July 23 at 11:20 am
I apologize for offending some of you. It wasn't my intention, but the sad, hard truth of public school is that quite often classes are broken up into groups based on skill level, and my son HAS been placed in the lowest group. These kids may or may not have learning disabilities, but frankly, most of them just don't care. How do I know? I observed the class on several occasions. There was an obvious difference between the kids with learning disabilities and the kids who clearly just did not want to learn anything or respect the teacher. My son was put into this group after he refused to take a placement test when we moved him to a new school. Instead of calling me for a conference, the school just put him in the low-level class. I had to go to the school and fight tooth and nail to get him retested and placed at a level that was more appropriate to his abilities. Perhaps I was a bit insensitive. I didn't feel that the word "dumb" was so offensive as to spark such a response and cause some of you to state that I had brought down the quality of this website. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones"?
Melissa A On Friday, June 14 at 1:06 pm
I think you have some wonderful suggestions here form some other posters.
I would just like to call attention to your statement of not wanting your child placed in the "dumb" class. Putting a word in parenthesis does not make it any less offensive. It is simply not fair or politically correct to differentiate between classes as "dumb" or otherwise. Please consider more thoughtful language in the future, as it will make your question seem more meaningful and thoughtful.
On a larger scale, this particularly grabs my attention on a homeschooling blog. In my experience, homeschooling parents are very sensitive to parents and children in public or private school suggesting they are not socialized properly. But homeschooling parents are quick to make assumptions, stereotypes, or judgments about other educational paths.
This only plays into that hypocritical mindset. Nobody who homeschools wants to hear that somebody who has their children in public school would label them incorrectly. Please show the same consideration to the parents of children in the public school.
If we want respect as homeschooling parents, we should show respect to parents who educate in every other manner. Respect is a two way street.

All of the above and WRITING: make sure your son knows how to write a good paragraph. He will have to write essays in middle school, of course, but if he struggles with writing then a good paragraph is the foundation for everything. You can order the Four Square Writing Method on Amazon (it's by Evan Jay Gould). ISBN-10: 1573101893
laurah On Friday, June 14 at 4:59 pm
Have to echo Karen M's comment about writing here. While computer technology is a given these days–let's not forget about children learning to write. There are many places in society where an adult is still going to need to know how to write.
Tina On Saturday, June 15 at 12:08 pm
While we're on the subject of teaching our children to write well I just feel that I need to point out that those are quotation marks around the word "dumb", not parentheses. These are called scare quotes and the definition of their usage, according to Wikipedia:
"Scare quotes are quotation marks placed around a word or phrase to imply that it may not signify its apparent meaning or that it is not necessarily the way the quoting person would express its concept."
Therefore, I believe, the original poster's intended usage would be to indicate that she would NOT refer to those children as dumb, but that that might be the way society would label them.
melissa A On Saturday, June 15 at 2:25 pm
I respectfully disagree.
I admit that I said parenthesis when I intended quotations, and I will fully admit to that mistake.
That being said, I got the impression the LW was not sure what the politically correct phrase was, so she used a common phrase that she knew was slightly offensive and attempted to tamper it with the quotations.
I also think that this conversation is a bit irrelevant. I stand by my statement above, that using words like this – regardless of the placement of quotations – diminishes the quality of this homeschooling forum. As I said above, if we expect other educators to respect us, we must respect them.
Tina On Sunday, June 16 at 9:51 am
Many apologies if I ruffled any feathers here! Agreeing to disagree respectfully as well.
My point was that we shouldn't jump to conclusions regarding the original poster's intent. With online communication it is often difficult to ascertain what the intended meaning is without the benefits of person to person communication, i.e. body language, facial expressions etc …
I disagree, again respectfully, that this conversation is irrelevant as I think clarity in our communications is key to maintaining the quality of forums such as this. And I do agree 100% that if we expect others to respect us, we must respect them, in all situations, educational or otherwise.
Wendy P On Saturday, June 15 at 4:05 pm
Why don't you talk with his previous teachers and find out what they think your son's weak areas are – then you can concentrate on those.
Sarah On Sunday, June 16 at 4:15 pm
The "What Your ___ Grader Needs to Know" series covers the basics of each grade with a broad brush. They're not workbooks, but a simple overview text for each year. Almost for sure something you can get inexpensively used or at the library and read together, especially the basic math/writing components for each year. They should give a good clue at any areas that need more in-depth attention, while covering the basics.
Prairie Jenn On Sunday, June 16 at 5:33 pm
I agree with Sarah about the "What Your __ Grader Needs to Know" series. Read it together:) Beyond that, what is he interested in? He's a smart kiddo, let him take the lead and guide his own learning. You might be surprised at his ability to attend and stay on task when he has ownership in what he's learning:)
Ashley On Monday, June 17 at 8:03 am
We were in Dod schools overseas and found them to be excellent. They see kids that have a different lifestyle-moving all the time, dealing with deployment, etc. I hope you find the DOD school to be an excellent resource at the least. When paired with the hospital, we had early intervention and lots of other services to help ensure that my child "caught up".

After raising an ADHD son who is now very successful, I've decided that ADHD is more than a learning disability–iit's a personality type. Please DO work with your son, but recognise his talents and build on those.
I had great experiences with DOD schools, although it was 20 years ago. I found the teachers to be highly motivated to work with individual children–you may be pleasantly surprised at the support you receive. They are accustomed to children coming in from many different school systems with drastically varying backgrounds.
Good luck!

I homeschool using the Classical Approach, which is quite frankly the mastery of facts for middle school age…..He has more than likely picked up much more than you would have imagined however assessing that can be quite painful or painless depending upon your approach…..I would do the following programs that would be less painful for him and also strengthen his confidence in the facts.
For Math: Mad Dog Math (computer addition) for Math Facts, Add/Sub and Mult/Division
*If you want him to be the most comfortable then you have all summer for him to drill ten minutes a day with this mastery approach to fact memory and you son will do fine in middle school math. If he doesn't then it doesn't much matter if you are DOD or still in the US, math gets crunchy if you move into Algebra without the facts at the ready.
LIFE OF FRED: Best and most enjoyable math curriculum (did I say inexpensive as well.) Please keep in mind that again this is a rigorous math curriculum but my children absolutely love Fred and beg to do more than what they are required….All you need is the book, paper and pencil. For children that have ADHD they would love it. I love Fred!
For Language Arts: Susan Wise Bauer has a wonderful grammar series "Language Lessons" Again, its a mastery approach so you would begin at the beginning keeping in mind that you will speed through until you reach where he is and word at the pace that he can keep. Again all you need is the book and pencil and paper for work.
READ READ READ to him about one hour per day at least!…..to him and have him be reading to you one hour a day 30 minutes a little below his level, and 30 a day a little above….Great Classic books….
I would have him read Story of the World Ancient History, and see if you can get some of the books from her reading list to accompany the history…..Did I say READ?
I would get some fantastic stories in their on Roman Mythology and Roman History….It is one of the most exciting histories of all the world.
If you do these items you will spend about two- 3 hours hours per day…considering one hour is him reading to himself….you will be set for middle school.
How very exciting…..
Nicole On Saturday, June 29 at 10:04 pm
I would pick up Rebecca Rupp's Home Learning Year by Year, and simply spend a few minutes each day talking with your son about what he knows and doesn't know. I do this with my son in the middle and at the end of each school year to see what we might have missed. If its something important, I put it on my "to teach/discuss" list, or if its a simple topic, we talk about it then and there. If its something I don't feel he needs to know now or that he'll acquire simply through everyday life, I just let it go. I keep the list in my purse and bring it out when we're sitting at a restaurant, or bring up certain topics while driving in the car. That way it doesn't really feel like "learning". Sometimes my son will catch me and ask, "Did we just have a lesson?!"
I'd also suggest, like the others, if you're going to do any nitty gritty practice, make it MATH. I have been tutoring math students for years and I can tell you that once a student gets too far behind, catching up is near impossible. I'd buy one of those summer bridge math books for several grades below him (one level lower than you think he's comfortable with) and have him work through it for the review. With any luck, it will be easy (enough) for him that he won't get discouraged. And if that goes well, move on to the next book and the next until you notice he's struggling (IF you notice he's struggling). Then you can start to help him fill in the blanks.
Also, check out the Right Start Math card games book. It is chock-full of games that reinforce just about every math skill. My s
Tiff On Tuesday, July 23 at 11:16 am
Wow. Thank you for all the great responses everybody! I'm sorry I wasn't able to respond to anyone sooner. The moving process has been, at best, a giant headache. I am definitely looking into all of these suggestions! We've been using educational apps and documentaries on Netflix this summer, so it is nice to see that I have been on the right track.

I am glad to be at NAE. I just moved here from another school. In the beginning, I was nervous about meeting new friends. I was nervous about my teacher. I wondered if she would be nice. Since I have been here, I have met friends, have learned math and reading and my teacher is funny. I am going to like NAE because I feel very comfortable here. If I had to give a new student advice, it would be to have fun and work really hard at your new school.

You can sit there all day and talk about who should be in the National Championship, but guess what they are not. Its between LSU and Ohio State. Im so sick of all this talk about Gorgia. They lost to Tennesse and South Carolina, both teams were beaten by LSU. Yes LSU did lose to Kentucky and Arkansas but they lost in triple overtime. You have to take that all in to consideration. LSU deserves to be in the National Championship or they wouldnt be there, so everyone needs to stop all the crying and give credit where credit is due!!!!
As for the comment about Nick Saban.....HA! They couldnt even beat ULM!!!
Nobody wants to give LSU any credit for some reason I dont understand. Last time they went to the National Championship it was the same way. It doesnt matter how much you win by, a win is a win! So why cant everybody sit back and get over it and get ready to watch LSU beat Ohio State on Jan 7. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

iOS 4.2 Coming In November—Will Fix Security Flaw
You probably have heard about the security flaw in iOS 4.1 that lets someone bypass your PIN security and access, call and email your contacts list. The flaw lets someone tap a few buttons to sneak past the emergency call screen that you can access even when the iPhone is locked by a PIN. Your photos, music, and contacts are then available but the rest of the phone is not. Apple has stated that they are aware of the flaw and that the iOS 4.2 update in November will address the problem.
Previous versions of iOS (actually, back when it was called iPhone OS) have had similar problems twice before. The iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are all affected by the flaw when running iOS 4.1 but the iPhone 3GS requires slightly modified steps to carry out the security bypass. How to protect the data you store on your smartphone until the iOS update in November? That's a good question. Keep others from getting their hands on it? That's about it.
What is interesting to note is that iOS 4.1 finally got jailbroken with Limera1n, GreenPois0n and PwnageTool. Now to keep your data safe, you have to update to version 4.2, which may prevent you from jailbreaking your device again. Sure, they claim that the hack they are using to carry out the jailbreak can't be stopped without Apple redesigning the actual devices themselves but you never know… What is also in danger is the carrier unlock if Apple updates the baseband (the software that actually operates the phone part of the iPhone) again.
How do the jailbreakers out there feel? Are you willing to have the possibility of someone snagging your iPhone and being able to use your contacts and your phone in exchange for a jailbreak? If the jailbreak for iOS 4.2 does not come quickly or faces unforeseen problems that might be a choice you will have to make.
Besides just the security flaw, how is iOS 4.1 treating you? Ready for Apple to update it already? Experiencing any slowdown issues on older models? App incompatibilities? Wonder where all the Game Center apps are? Crashes? I have noticed that I have to restart my device more than I did with iOS 3.x. Let me know what you think about it in the comments.iOS 4.1, security, apple iphone 4, Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple iPhone 3G

At last! Something for English sports fans to celebrate . . .
England's travelling hordes won't be blowing their own vuvuzelas this summer.
England's travelling hordes won't be blowing their own vuvuzelas this summer.
by John Ashmore Published
Blessed relief for cricket fans here and Down Under -- the Barmy Army, England's inimitable band of travelling supporters, has banned its members from taking vuvuzelas on this summer's Ashes tour.
The plastic horns gained inexplicable popularity during the football World Cup in South Africa, where row upon row of spectators could be seen parping away, seemingly blissfully ignorant of the aural trauma they were causing audiences the world over.
Whether any cricket fans were actually planning to pack a vuvuzela for the Australia tour is unclear. What can be said with some certainty is that even the faintest prospect of a whole Test match's worth of low-pitched droning is too dreadful to contemplate.
As the Barmy Army co-founder Paul Burnham acutely noted: "We don't want to upset any of the other fans or annoy the authorities at any of the grounds with the constant drowning noise of the vuvuzelas."
If only this searing insight had occurred to someone involved in organising South Africa 2010!

St Lawrence Parish Church is home to a growing congregation of all ages and many backgrounds, worshipping on a site used for Christian worship for perhaps 1,000 years. Some church members have lived in the parish all their lives - at the same time, the church welcomes large numbers of students, many of whom live very nearby.
There is a broad range of services types, and both the Prayer Book and the Common Worship series are used, although St Lawrence has a largely traditional aesthetic. St Lawrence is one of only only a handful of City of York churches still managing to sing Evensong every Sunday, at 6pm. Have a look at the 'special events' tab for details on special services for particular occasions (e.g. Christmas and Easter services).
There is a great deal of other activity happening at the church - including bellringing, choral singing, the over-60s social club, talks, concerts - and tai chi...
Whether you're an interested student, a resident parishioner, or from another part of York and looking for a good church home - or wondering if you should be - please do come along to a service one Sunday soon. If you are just visiting York, come and say hello - you would be very welcome.

Deer season begins in West Virginia
HUNTINGTON -- Poised and ready, Billy Collins stretched back the string of his bow as he lined up a shot on a 7-point buck while hunting on his property Monday morning.
A few hours later Collins was at Justin's Fishing, Hunting and Marine shop in Huntington to get his second deer for the season tagged. Hunters from all over Cabell and Wayne counties filed into Justin's on Monday -- the first day of buck season -- to buy gear, get their bucks tagged and tell tales of their battles with the bucks.
After hunting on public land for years, Collins said he's glad he can relax and hunt on his own private 22-acre property on W.Va. 10 in Barboursville. The deer he shot Monday was the second he had killed with a bow this season. From now on in the buck season, Collins said he's sticking with the rifle.
Though he hunts both rifle and bow, Collins said he prefers shooting with a bow.
"Anyone can take a rifle and kill something," Collins joked. "But you have to be a decent hunter to shoot with a bow."
Buck season runs through Dec. 6 in West Virginia. Hunters can bag two bucks with a gun during the season.
Though he ended the first day of buck season with a 9-point buck, Troy Nicely of Wayne jokingly described Monday's hunting experience as "wet and miserable" because of the steady rain that drenched hunters all day. By 1 p.m., only about 22 deer had been tagged at Justin's.
Employees at Justin's suspected rain was the reason for the relatively small number. By later Monday afternoon, Cabell County checking stations reported about 124 deer.
Nicely said he got soaked after hours of hunting on private land in Wayne County. The buck, however, was worth the muddy boots and wet clothes, Nicely said.
"A bad day of hunting is better than a good day at work," Nicely said. "I just enjoy being out there, no matter if we kill anything or not."
While many West Virginia hunters walked away with deer on the first day of buck season, a number of other hunters were not as lucky.
At least two hunters have died and three others were injured on the opening day, all but one due to suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
A 37-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas, died at about 6 a.m. Monday after being overcome by carbon monoxide from a lantern inside a trailer he and another hunter were using.
Wetzel County Sheriff James Hoskins said the man's 38-year-old hunting partner from Pennsylvania was flown to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. The two men, whose names were being withheld pending family notifications, were hunting in the area of Four Mile near Pine Grove.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Department said three hunters were being treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at CAMC Teays Valley after being overcome by fumes inside a camper.
In Marshall County, Sheriff John Gruzinskas said an unidentified hunter died sometime Monday morning in the woods. His death is believed to be the result of natural causes.

text: Conflict ConflictAsiaSouth KoreaUnited States Jessica Phelan on Mar 5, 2013 @ 8:48 AMMar 5, 2013 @ 8:48 AM PublishedNorth Korea threatens to cancel Korean War truceSouth Korean soldiers stand guard in fog at the truce village of Panmunjom in the demilitarized zone dividing North and South Korea on February 27, 2013. North Korea has threatened to cancel the truce between the two countries that ended their 1950-53 war.SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea has threatened to cancel the truce that ended the Korean War if South Korea continues its joint military exercises with the United States.The North Korean army's supreme command announced today that the 60-year-old cease-fire would be revoked on March 11, the day that South Korea and the United States are due to begin their annual 'Key Resolve' drills.North Korea's military accused the two allies of "hostile policies" and said it would respond with "more and stronger countermeasures," according to Chinese news agency Xinhua.Pyongyang says it will also recall its delegates from Panmunjom, the border village where the 1953 armistice was signed and where the North and South's negotiators still meet for talks, on the same day.GlobalPost Senior Correspondent in Seoul, Geoffrey Cain, said the statement was likely aimed at the United States and China."South Korea was ironically not a signatory to the cease-fire, falling back on the agreement of the United Nations and the nations that fought under the UN flag," he said. "North Korea's threat was probably intended for the signatories — the United States and China, to name a few — who are leading the charge to ratchet up sanctions.""We'll probably see more North Korean nuclear bluster in the future, even if it's just showy rhetoric," Cain said.More from GlobalPost: What to make of North Korea's war threatsThe UN Security Council is preparing to discuss increasing sanctions on North Korea in response to its nuclear test last month.Diplomats told Reuters that the United States had reached a "tentative" deal with China on a draft resolution that would ramp up existing penalties. Russia has also signaled that it will back the move.Council members are due to meet in New York today to discuss the issue.Cain said it appeared that the United States and China have agreed on a tentative deal to expand the sanctions."China, under new leader Xi Jinping, has shown willingness in the past month to distance itself from North Korea," he said. "The two countries were always uneasy bedfellows, but this is a sharp change from what we have seen in the past, when China was the one holding off on doing anything that could anger its neighbor."
