46 U.S. Code § 30506 - Limit of liability for personal injury or death
(a) Application.— This section applies only to seagoing vessels, but does not apply to pleasure yachts, tugs, towboats, towing vessels, tank vessels, fishing vessels, fish tender vessels, canal boats, scows, car floats, barges, lighters, or nondescript vessels.
(b) Minimum Liability.— If the amount of the vessel owner's liability determined under section 30505 of this title is insufficient to pay all losses in full, and the portion available to pay claims for personal injury or death is less than $420 times the tonnage of the vessel, that portion shall be increased to $420 times the tonnage of the vessel. That portion may be used only to pay claims for personal injury or death.
(c) Calculation of Tonnage.— Under subsection (b), the tonnage of a self-propelled vessel is the gross tonnage without deduction for engine room, and the tonnage of a sailing vessel is the tonnage for documentation. However, space for the use of seamen is excluded.
(d) Claims Arising on Distinct Occasions.— Separate limits of liability apply to claims for personal injury or death arising on distinct occasions.

|46 App.:183(e).
Subsection (a) is written as an application provision rather than as a definition to be more direct and to avoid having to repeat the word "seagoing" throughout the section. The words "fishing vessel, fish tender vessel" are substituted for "fishing vessels or their tenders" for clarity. The words "nondescript vessel" are substituted for "nondescript self-propelled vessels" and "nondescript non-self-propelled vessels" to eliminate unnecessary words. The words "self-propelled lighters" are omitted as covered by "lighter". The words "even though the same may be seagoing vessels within the meaning of such term as used in section 188 of this Appendix, as amended" are omitted as unnecessary. This provision is restated also at section 30508(a) of the revised title.
In subsection (b), the words "is such that the portion available to pay claims for personal injury or death" are substituted for "is insufficient to pay all losses in full, and the portion of such amount applicable to the payment of losses in respect of loss of life or bodily injury" to eliminate unnecessary words.
In subsection (c), the words "self-propelled vessel" are substituted for "steam or motor vessel", and the words "tonnage for documentation" are substituted for "registered tonnage", for consistency in the revised title. The words "space for the use of seamen" are substituted for "space occupied by seamen or apprentices and appropriated to their use" to eliminate unnecessary words.
In subsection (d), the words "Separate limits of liability apply" are substituted for "The owner . . . shall be liable . . . to the same extent as if no other loss of life or bodily injury had arisen" to eliminate unnecessary words.
In subsection (e), the words "the privity or knowledge . . . is imputed to the owner" are substituted for "shall be deemed conclusively the privity or knowledge of the owner" for consistency and to eliminate unnecessary words.

Lovely, lovely table cloth
By Lois
from Minneapolis, MN
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Bordeaux Floral Vinyl Table Cover:
This table cloth is on my dining room table and I use it for everything except the most formal occasions. It's attractive, the color is muted (which is exactly what I wanted), and it's so easy to clean. With kids that is so important. I've used earlier versions of these table clothes and they last forever. A real bargain for beauty.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Colors are not the same!
By addie
from WY
I am returning these products. I ordered three tablecloths -- three different colors. None of them are the colors represented in the catalog photo. The green, which looks like a nice Christmas green, is more of an olive drab, the blue is definitely not the pretty blue in the photo and the burgundy is not an attractive color either. I didn't even take these out of the package.
Great tablecloth-just the right size.
By judbird
from The Villages, Florida
this tablecloth is very attractive and practical. It protects the table and still looks good. It was just the right size.
By Nanny
from Memphis
I have been looking forever for a white vinyl table cloth. It isn't too heavy which makes it hang really nice. I am ordering another one for a spare.
very beautiful, I'm pleased.
By Carolyn
from Beaumont
I use it to cover my woodgrain table for protection. It cleans easily. I am pleased
great size, great price, pretty
By D.
from Maryland
A great product. The color is bright and adds to the color scheme I want for any event. It also works well under lacy cloth tablecloth to add color to more formal needs. Used daily.
Not what I ordered! Color wrong!
By Annette
from Hawthorne, NV
I haven't been able to use them yet! The colorswere wrong. What I ordered was 2 different shades of blue NOT Blue on Black. Then I had to pay for return Shipping and handling almost $30.00. Order something like this again! NO way
This table cover meets my needs exactly.
By Gamona
from Cedar Park, Texas
This table cover is well-made and is ideal for a table which gets almost constant use by members of my family. Easy to maintain, and the color and floral design are pleasing. I'm thinking of ordering it in another color.
We would purchase again, Mom loves them
By Daughter & Son
from Florida
The tablecloth is for a large family table that seats 8, Mom has a flooring that has a beautiful green in it. The tablecloth goes so well. It is so easy too just wipe clean after large family gatherings.

Adolescent Substance Abuse (Ages 12-17)
Heroin Admissions by Usual Route of Administration and Opioid Replacement Therapy
Polydrug Abuse
Racial/Ethnic Subgroups
This chapter highlights topics that are of current or special interest:
Adolescent Substance Abuse (Ages 12-17)
TEDS data indicate an overall increase in adolescent admissions aged 12 to 17 for substance abuse treatment between 1994 and 2004, attributable primarily to increased admissions involving marijuana and increased referral to treatment through the criminal justice system.
Tables 5.1a and 5.1b and Figure 27. The number of adolescents aged 12 to 17 admitted to substance abuse treatment increased 43 percent between 1994 and 2004. This increase is largely accounted for by the increase in the number of adolescent primary marijuana admissions (115 percent between 1994 and 2004). The proportion of adolescent primary marijuana admissions grew from 43 percent of adolescent admissions in 1994 to 64 percent in 2004.
The number of adolescent primary stimulant, opiate, and cocaine admissions also increased (by 154 percent, 125 percent, and 4 percent, respectively) from 1994 to 2004, but the proportion of adolescent admissions for stimulants represented only 5 percent of all adolescent admissions in 2004, while the proportions of adolescent admissions for cocaine and opiates were 2 percent each.
Adolescent treatment admissions for primary alcohol abuse decreased over this time period. The proportion of adolescent primary alcohol admissions decreased from 39 percent in 1994 to 19 percent in 2004, as the number of adolescent alcohol admissions fell 32 percent.
Table 5.2a. Overall, 69 percent of adolescent admissions were male. However, this proportion was heavily influenced by marijuana admissions, where 76 percent were male. The proportions of adolescent female admissions were greater than those for adolescent males for methamphetamine/amphetamines (57 percent female vs. 43 percent male) and for heroin (53 percent female vs. 47 percent male).
Table 5.3a. In 2004, more than half (51 percent) of adolescent admissions were referred to treatment through the criminal justice system. Seventeen percent were self- or individual referrals, and 11 percent were referred through schools.
Figure 28. The number of adolescent admissions referred by the criminal justice system increased every year from 1994 to 2002, but declined in 2003 and 2004. Admissions from schools declined slightly between 1994 and 2004, while those from self- or individual referrals and other referral sources increased slightly.
Table 5.4. In 2004, 44 percent of all adolescent admissions involved the use of both alcohol and marijuana. The number of admissions involving both alcohol and marijuana increased by 24 percent between 1994 and 2004. Admissions involving primary marijuana and no alcohol increased by 216 percent. Over the same period, admissions involving primary alcohol and no marijuana declined by 40 percent.
Table 5.5a and Figure 29. An admission was considered marijuana-involved if marijuana was reported as a primary, secondary, or tertiary substance. Between 1994 and 2004, the number of marijuana-involved adolescent admissions increased for both criminal justice and other referral sources. (The increases were 121 percent and 29 percent, respectively, yielding a net increase of 66 percent.) However, while the number of marijuana-involved adolescent admissions originating in the criminal justice system increased every year from 1994 to 2002, the number from other referral sources was relatively stable, varying within a range of 4,000 admissions between 1995 and 2004. Beginning in 1998, marijuana-involved adolescent admissions referred through the criminal justice system outnumbered those entering treatment through other referral sources. Adolescent admissions not involving marijuana declined by 3 percent between 1994 and 2004; an increase of 6 percent in criminal justice referrals was more than offset by a decrease of 9 percent in referrals from other sources.
Heroin Admissions by Usual Route of Administration and Opioid Replacement Therapy
TEDS data indicate that heroin injection has been a growing problem among young adults since the 1990s. Despite increases in the numbers of admissions for heroin abuse, there was a decline in the number receiving opioid replacement therapy (medication-assisted therapy with methadone or buprenorphine) was planned.
Tables 5.6a and 5.6b. Heroin admissions increased by 23 percent between 1994 and 2004. Increases of 64 percent in admissions for heroin inhalation and 4 percent in admissions for heroin injection were largely responsible. The proportion of heroin admissions represented by injection declined from 73 percent in 1994 to 63 percent in 2004. Heroin inhalation made up 32 percent of all heroin admissions in 2004, an increase from 24 percent in 1994.
Tables 5.6a, 5.6b, and Figure 30. The number of admissions receiving opioid replacement therapy did not keep pace with the increase in heroin admissions. While heroin admissions increased by 23 percent between 1994 and 2004, the number receiving opioid replacement therapy decreased by 33 percent. In 2004, opioid replacement therapy was more likely to be given to heroin smokers (36 percent) than to the much larger groups of injectors and inhalers (31 percent and 27 percent, respectively). Among admissions for heroin injection, opioid replacement therapy fell by 45 percent between 1994 and 2004. The proportion of admissions for heroin inhalation receiving opioid replacement therapy declined from a high of 40 percent in 1994 to a low of 23 percent in 1996 and 1997. Rebounding to 32 perent in 1998, the rate declined to 27 percent in 2004.
Table 5.7b and Figure 31. Between 1994 and 2004, the proportion of admissions under age 30 decreased among heroin inhalers and increased among heroin injectors. Until the year 2000, heroin inhalers admitted to treatment tended to be younger than heroin injectors admitted to treatment. In 1994, 39 percent of admissions for inhalation were under 30 years of age, compared to 18 percent of those injecting heroin. By 2004, the proportion of those admitted for inhaling heroin who were under age 30 had fallen to 21 percent. The proportion admitted for injecting heroin who were under age 30 had increased to 35 percent. Among heroin smokers, the proportion under age 30 was 37 percent in 2004.
Table 5.7a. Among heroin abusers experiencing a first treatment episode in 2004, the average duration of use was 11 years for smoking, 12 years for injection, and 13 years for inhalation.
Polydrug Abuse
Polydrug abuse (the use of more than one substance) was more common among TEDS admissions than was the abuse of a single substance.
Table 5.8 and Figure 32. Polydrug abuse was reported by 55 percent of all TEDS admissions in 2004. Alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine were the most commonly reported secondary and tertiary substances.
Abuse of alcohol as a primary, secondary, or tertiary substance was characteristic of most treatment admissions. Forty percent of all treatment admissions were for primary alcohol abuse, and 22 percent of admissions for other drugs reported that they also had an alcohol problem. Overall, 62 percent of all treatment admissions reported alcohol as a substance of abuse.
Alcohol and opiates were reported more often as primary substances than as secondary or tertiary substances. Twenty-three percent of all admissions involved opiate abuse, with 18 percent reporting primary abuse and 6 percent reporting secondary or tertiary abuse.
For marijuana and cocaine, more admissions reported these drugs as secondary or tertiary substances than as primary substances. Marijuana was reported as a primary substance by 16 percent of all admissions, but was a secondary or tertiary substance for another 21 percent, so that 37 percent of all treatment admissions reported marijuana as a substance of abuse. Cocaine was a primary substance for 14 percent of admissions, but was a secondary or tertiary substance for an additional 17 percent. Thus nearly one-third (31 percent) of all treatment admissions involved cocaine abuse.
Table 5.9. This table details the most common substance combinations for selected primary substances. For example, for primary alcohol admissions, 55 percent reported abuse of alcohol alone, 14 percent reported abuse of alcohol and marijuana but no other drugs, and 7 percent reported primary abuse of alcohol with abuse of cocaine and marijuana as secondary and tertiary substances.
Racial/Ethnic Subgroups
TEDS permits analysis of racial/ethnic subgroups that are generally poorly represented in sample surveys. Substance abuse patterns differed widely among racial/ethnic subgroups. Among Hispanics, substance abuse patterns differed according to country of origin. Patterns also differed between men and women within subgroups.
Table 3.3b and Figures 33-38. Among non-Hispanic Whites [Figure 33], alcohol as the primary substance accounted for 48 percent of male admissions and 36 percent of female admissions. Marijuana and opiates were the most frequently reported illicit drugs for non-Hispanic White men (16 percent and 15 percent, respectively), followed by cocaine and stimulants (8 percent each). For non-Hispanic White women, opiates were the primary illicit drug (20 percent), followed by stimulants (13 percent), and cocaine and marijuana (12 percent each).
Among non-Hispanic Blacks [Figure 34], 35 percent of male admissions used alcohol as the primary substance. Among non-Hispanic Black women, cocaine (35 percent) was more frequently reported as a primary substance than was alcohol (26 percent). Cocaine was the most commonly reported illicit substance for men (25 percent), followed by marijuana (22 percent) and opiates (14 percent). For women, other primary substances were opiates (19 percent) and marijuana (16 percent). Stimulants were reported by 1 percent each of non-Hispanic Black men and women.
Among persons of Mexican origin [Figure 35], alcohol was the primary substance involved in 43 percent of male admissions. Among women of Mexican origin, however, stimulants were more frequently reported as a primary substance than was alcohol (31 percent and 24 percent, respectively). Marijuana (18 percent) was the most commonly reported illicit substance for men, followed by opiates and stimulants (15 percent each) and cocaine (7 percent). For women, other commonly reported primary substances were opiates (16 percent), marijuana (15 percent), and cocaine (11 percent).
Among persons of Puerto Rican origin [Figure 36], opiates were the main substances at treatment admission for both men and women (49 percent and 42 percent, respectively). Opiates were followed by alcohol for both men and women (28 percent and 22 percent, respectively). For men, other primary substances were marijuana (12 percent) and cocaine (9 percent). For women, other primary substances were cocaine (17 percent) and marijuana (14 percent). Admissions for stimulant use were 2 percent for women and less than 1 percent for men.
American Indians and Alaska Natives together accounted for 2 percent of all TEDS admissions [Table 3.1a]. Among American Indian/Alaska Native admissions, 64 percent of men and 49 percent of women entered treatment because of primary alcohol abuse [Figure 37]. Marijuana was the most frequently reported illicit substance for men (14 percent), followed by stimulants and opiates (6 percent each) and cocaine (5 percent). Stimulants were the most frequently reported illicit substances for women (14 percent), followed by marijuana (12 percent), opiates (11 percent), and cocaine (8 percent).
Asians and Pacific Islanders accounted for just under 1 percent of all TEDS admissions [Table 3.1a]. Among this group [Figure 38], alcohol was the primary substance involved in 36 percent of male admissions. Among women, however, stimulants were more frequently reported as a primary substance than was alcohol (36 percent and 25 percent, respectively). Stimulants and marijuana were the most commonly reported illicit drugs for men (24 percent and 21 percent, respectively), followed by opiates (8 percent) and cocaine (7 percent). For women, other commonly reported primary substances were mariijuana (16 percent, opiates (10 percent), and cocaine (8 percent).

I uploaded version 0.11 of Padre::Plugin::LaTeX to CPAN.
I described the LaTeX plugin for Padre, the Perl IDE some time ago in a blog post.
It is mostly a maintenance release, providing compatibility to the recently released Padre 0.86. Breno G. de Oliveira (GARU) was so kind and provided Brazilian Portugues translations. We now have translations for Arabic, Dutch, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Turkish. Besides that, there was a small tweak in the autocompletion code. See the Changes file for details.
If Padre is already on your system, you can install the LaTeX plugin using the command
cpan Padre::Plugin::LaTeX
I am looking forward to feedback and contributions, either directly to me, or as tickets to the Padre Trac.

Keith Klostermann, Ph.D., LMHC published work, Substance Abuse Disorders, in the 2012 publication Psychopathology: Foundations for a contemporary understanding. Dr. Klostermann is a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Graduate Counseling and Psychology.
From the article: Of the major public health concerns of the 21st century, alcoholism and drug addiction are among the most pervasive with devastating social, legal, and economic consequences for individuals and families, not only in the U.S., but across the globe. The World Health Organization estimates that 76.3 million individuals have an alcohol use disorder and 5.3 million individuals have drug use disorders (World Health Organization, 2010). In addition to the serious problems individuals with alcohol or drug problems create for themselves, victims of family violence, accidents, and violent crime add to the numbers of those adversely affected. On days when alcohol is used, intimate partner violence increases (e.g., Mignone, Klostermann, & Chen, 2009). Moreover, parental substance use is associated with a host of emotional, behavioral, and social problems for children (e.g., Boris, 2009; Osborne & Berger, 2009), which may evolve into problems with alcohol and drugs as these children progress through adolescence and into adulthood.
Aside from the toll in human suffering, estimates of yearly direct and indirect economic and social costs arising from substance abuse are substantial. Individuals who abuse alcohol and other drugs consume a disproportionately large share of social resources from a variety of sources, some of which include specialized drug abuse treatment (Institute of Medicine, 1990), treatment of secondary health effects (Langenbucher, 1994), use of social welfare programs (Plotnick, 1994), and involvement of the criminal justice system (e.g., arrests, incarceration, parole, and probation; Deschenes, Anglin, & Speckart, 1991; Harwood, Hubbard, Collins, & Rachal, 1988). The size and scope of substance abuse and dependence in our society have drawn significant and increasing scientific and public attention. Thus, the purpose of this chapter is to examine the etiology, course, and treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse.
The instructors were knowledgeable and welcomed class discussions, with
respect for each student's contribution. I've learned how to be a more
effective leader. My capstone class gave insight on how to combine all
the education learned to operate a business. That's when I realized how
much I had sharpened my knowledge.

Chinese Stocks: Did The Magic Fade Away?
moshe is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Looking back at recent 12 months stock market rally, one cannot overlook the absent of long time performing Chinese stock Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), which was named the Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) of China. We got used for Baidu to outperform technology sector and NASDAQ index. We got used to Baidu beating analyst estimate quarter by quarter but, recently, this is not the case. So, what does it mean for Baidu? Is the company's still a buy? Should Baidu become an investment for the long term or a short term trade, to try and make a profit from the large daily change in share price?
BAIDU's short and long term history
During the past 12 months, Baidu has broken its tradition and promise. While Google is now back at all times high and soared for about 40%, at the last 12 months, Baidu for the same period is about -8% and the NASDAQ index rose by approx. 30%!
Baidu's history shows entirely different picture. Baidu has shown great performance rising from 6$ a share (6$ as a relative price to 1:10 shares split) at the IPO to more than 160$ around May, 2011, exceeding by far the NASDAQ index and Google share.
But, it is not just Baidu's share price decline that shades on Baidu. In addition, weekly price range is relatively large and jumpy (sometimes daily range is similar too) ranging from ±2% - ±15% and more, which adds to the uncertainty and volatility of the share.
Similar goes for Dang E-Commerce China (NYSE: DANG) (-8%), doing the same business as Amazon) (+14%). Dang is also all under-performing relatively to other shares in the technology Index. Dang is traded at around 4.7$ a share while median analyst estimate is 5.8$ a share although revenues are increasing at annual pace of more than 40%.
What are the reasons for Baidu's share price?
Can Baidu's performance explain this behavior? Is the magic gone or is the company undervalued and poses a great opportunity for the long term? Don't let the five (5) year chart to confuse you! Baidu's share price history has shown similar patterns before breakthrough for new highs. Baidu's share has visited 100-400$ price range (before stock split) several times and the same goes for the price range of 100-150$.
Baidu's performance is still impressive: profit margin, P/E, increased revenues do not fall from Google's performance. Google has left China almost completely, leaving Baidu as the major dominant player in the Chinese market (70% and more following Google leave) and still China market Internet penetration is relatively low and there is a lot of room to grow.
So, why is Baidu's share under-performing? Chinese government involvement in the Internet market, surprising regulation and statements from government official who want to limit the Chinese market and limit IPO, contribute to the investment risk. No wonder then when the markets are up and there many other opportunities which are more appealing and without "surprises" investors are trying to avoid these shares. Add to this the headlines for a slowdown in China (relative slowdown, it is still remarkable compared to US and Europe) and you might get "cold feet".
What is the future of Baidu?
When I look at Baidu's fundamentals and performance, Baidu is undervalued. The company shows constant growth and great profit margins and the future looks bright and promising. Market share might be with little growth but, don't forget that together with it the number of users is growing rapidly!

Thank you all for entering the RCS Competition.
We are proud to announce that the winner of a home entertainment system valued at R5000 is Theesan Vedan from Cape Town.
We asked Generations fans what they would get for R5000 and why, Theesan said:
I wrote a poem for the competition, ENJOY
For me, this prize will be like an early Christmas,
And I wrote a list that is one hundred lines long.
I decided to share some of my wishes,
of possessing gadgets so advanced that I'll be nicknamed "Hong-Kong."
Thanks to the RCS card and 15000 stores- I could get the devices I need,
Maybe a DSTV PVR decoder and a Samsung LED TV,
For the PVR decoder I especially plead,
so that I can record Generations when I need to take a wee.
I'll be able to watch my favorite character Queen,
in all her glory, even after these many years,
she will light up my new Samsung 32 inch TV screen,
with her usual laughter, drama and sorrowful tears.
With great variety at stores such as Musica, Look and Listen and Dion Wired
and even more mouthwatering gadgets at Hi-fi Corp, Coricraft, Makro and Game,
it took me all morning to browse through catalogues and I even perspired,
Choosing just two, was just such a shame.
I use a bunny aerial to get a picture on my current screen and it is a chore,
You have to move it around to watch a show,
The picture quality is terrible, at it's best- you can say it is poor,
For the last few years I thought Generations was shot in the snow.
So a HD TV and a PVR decoder to record my favorite show,
I simply cannot wait.
I'll probably overuse my newfound gadgets, though,
and I'll blow every fuse in the Western Cape.
If you're spending your days in darkness,
and you can't play a video game,
I'm apologise for the trouble;
it's probably me, and not Eskom, who's to blame.

Grant Number: C026442
Title: Genome Maintenance in Germline Stem Cells
Annual Direct Cost: $146,702
Project Period: 09/01/10-08/31/13
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For any sexually reproducing species, the germline is the most crucial lineage because it contains the genetic information that is transmitted to subsequent generations. Moreso than somatic cells, it is important that germline stem cells have effective mechanisms for minimizing mutations that would be deleterious to offspring. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) proliferate during embryonic development, colonize the primitive gonads, and ultimately form cells that can become oocytes or sperm. We and others have noted that mutations in certain genes that are important for DNA repair and DNA replication can deplete the reservoir of germline stem cells, often leading to infertility. This project uses two mouse models of germ cell depletion to study the DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint control systems in germline stem cells, and to determine why these cells are exquisitely sensitive to replication stress and defects in DNA repair.
One model contains a gene trap disruption of Mcm9, an unique member of the minichromosome maintenance (MCM) family of DNA replication licensing factors. Its evolutionarily conserved relatives MCM2-7 comprise the replicative helicase that is essential for cell viability. The other model is a mutant allele of Fancm, a component of the Fanconi anemia DNA repair complementation group, that we recovered in a forward genetic screen for genomic instability mutants. The FANC complex is particularly important in repair of damage at DNA replication forks. Both of these recessive, viable mutations cause loss of germ cells in male and female mice. We hypothesize that germ cells are hypersensitive to the types of DNA damage caused (Mcm9) or left unrepaired by (Fancm) these mutations (presumably double strand breaks caused during DNA replication), leading to enhanced (relative to somatic cells) cell death by checkpoint activation. This proposed project has two major Aims. The first is to identify the exact stage of development that germ cell depletion occurs in these mutants, and whether it is attributable to decreased proliferation, survival, or impaired ability of stem cell self-renewal. In the second Aim, genetic and molecular approaches will be used to better characterize the types of damage occuring in mutant cells, and the genome surveillence mechanisms that are operating in these cells. In the genetic approach, we will determine if mice containing mutations in checkpoint genes that respond to either double strand breaks or replication fork damage can rescue the germ cell depletion phenotypes of Mcm9 or Fancm. These data will implicate the pathway responsible for eliminating defective cells. In the molecular approach, markers of DNA damage and checkpoint response pathways will be examined directly in PGCs and spermatogonia. These studies will give insight into how the cells holding the keys to our species - the germline - are affected by genetic and environmental factors can impact fertility and the well-being of offspring.

There's an internet site called The Nicest Place on the Internet that I came across the other day. I'm not sure how I saw it — a link from a tweet, or something somebody wrote.
When you open the site, an acoustic version of "I Have Never Loved Someone" by My Brightest Diamond begins playing. While it's playing, short videos of people hugging a camera are played. There seems to be an unending slew of people who have sent in these YouTube videos of themselves approaching the camera. That's all it is: the song on repeat and these videos of people hugging the camera that's filming them.
My first time meeting Protestants from the north was at a church camp in August 1987. I was eleven years old. I spent my camp asking the poor Protestants if they were Irish or English, with a curiosity I usually reserved for asking whether certain characters in Wonder Woman were goodies or baddies. At the end of the church camp, one of the Protestant women, a woman with blonde hair called Annette, said "Give me a hug."
I didn't know what she meant. I didn't know what hugs were to give her one. I didn't know that I had one to give.

It is Easter week. This week, we remember the events from Thursday's meal to Friday's torture to Saturday's silence and Sunday's mystery.
Years ago, 13 years ago in fact, I fell apart. I was 22 and I had already been sick for a year. It had started with a bad flu that had never gone away. After 12 months, I was bewildered and dizzy and achy, confused with a fatigue and an illness that would take a further five years to diagnose and a total of nine years to recover from.
Up until that point, I hadn't spent much time contemplating chronic illness. However, after a year of being ill, hearing doctors' opinions, berating myself with my own opinions, I was firmly contemplating chronic illness. When you are chronically ill, there are some things to learn — you must learn to relate to your sickness, and you must learn to relate to your feelings about being sick. In the face of these two lessons, I was gutted with a raw fear in the face of the unknown.
For Lent that year, I read a chapter of Job every day. It was less a religious exercise and more an exercise of survival. I needed some kind of echo of the bewilderment, loneliness, and confusion. Job became a friend. I heard his grief, and I heard his sadness.

And, for the last two weeks of Easter in 1998, I went to a monastery in eastern France for two weeks of silence. Looking back on it, it might seem unwise — responding to a hollowness inside me by going to a place of silence. I don't know what prompted me to go, but I went. I was welcomed by a gentle monk who showed me to my small room and told me that it might not be a good idea to read all the time.
"Il faut écouter, avec les oreilles de tendresse, à ton propre silence," he said. "You must listen, with ears of tenderness, to your own silence."
Ha! I was petrified of that silence. I read The Lord of the Rings in five days flat.
It took 11 days before I began to relax. By that time, it was Holy Thursday, and the time when the Last Supper is remembered. That morning, the brother spoke to the pilgrims gathered for a few minutes after breakfast to set a tone of inspiration for the day. He noted how Jesus said in the Gospel of Luke, "I have earnestly desired this meal."
He didn't paint a picture of a Nazarene who ran to the arms of Roman torture willingly, but he depicted a character who believed enough in a way of life to take that way of life to the death. The monk spoke about how Jesus lived the last days of his life in a way that was faithful to the life he'd always lived — calling enemies and dispossessed ones "friends," having concern for his mother, accepting help from a Cyrenian stranger, looking for moments of life while life itself was draining away.
I don't know what happened, but somehow, I began to breathe. I remember I was sitting in a chapel, listening to a German nun tune an eclectic zoo of musicians into some kind of harmony. Nothing cataclysmic occurred — it was just that I began to fear my own darkness a little less. I began to feel where I had only known numb and lonely survival. I began to feel that if I am here, then perhaps I am here with a companion. There were few words of prayer; there was a deep sense of accompaniment. I began to recognise that I didn't need the words to describe the chronic illness that was indescribable.
That Easter Sunday I cried. Not because of some miraculous resurrection. I had eight long years to wait before my health began to improve. I cried because, in the words of an old monk, I heard an echo of an understanding that went beyond words, and, in that echo there was companionship.

Years later, when studying theology, I came across Hans Urs Von Balthasar. Von Balthasar is noted for many things, one of which is his poetic retelling of Christ's descent into hell. He said, "Jesus descended into hell. He is dead with us, and disturbs our loneliness. … God, in the weakness of love enters into solidarity with us who find ourselves damning ourselves, in the form of the crucified brother abandoned by God…and in such a way that is clear to the sinner that God-the-Forsaken is so for my sake."
Each year on Easter Sunday I find myself moved. Not because there is a happy ever after ending to all of our stories. It is quite clear that there is not. I am moved because of a sacred echo of a hope that there is solidarity for those who feel like we inhabit a small hell of our own experience. The hope of Easter doesn't damn this hell with a bleaching light. Rather this hope enters and squats with us. The celebrations of Holy Week for me are not about cataclysmic resurrections, but about being moved to follow in the life of the Nazarene, bravely entering into loneliness with a small spring of consoling company.

While working with Holy Family Parish in North Belfast over the last few weeks, I have encountered much wisdom. One woman, Ann, quoted one of her university professors who said, "Any ideology carried to its logical conclusion is a dangerous thing."
Now, I am sure that there are library shelves worth of arguments that could add nuance and subtlety to this statement. However, the death of Constable Ronan Kerr on April 2nd has given us something more weighty than a library to consider when reflecting on Ann's quote.
Ronan Kerr was 25, involved in Gaelic Games and a member of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). A Catholic, he was part of the growing sea change in the active members of the Police Service that was set up in response to the reports and enquiries and settlements and agreements of the 1980s and 90s. The organisational predecessor of the PSNI had a significant imbalance — for a 52 percent Protestant to 45 percent Catholic population, there was at times over 90 percent representation from the Protestant community. In an effort to redress this, the PSNI (formed in November 2001) had, up until two weeks ago, a 50-50 recruitment policy. A huge majority of Catholic/Nationalist/Republican groups have given backing to the organisational structure of the PSNI — but a fractionally small minority, allegedly including those who planted the bomb that killed Ronan Kerr, objected.
Ronan Kerr was possibly understood by this small minority as a traitor — someone who had abandoned the values of what it means to be Irish by joining the police service that serves a jurisdiction of Ireland that is not part of the Republic. I am guessing that this combination of Gaelic Games, formed with the dual purpose of promoting traditional Irish sports and culture, with active service as a policeman was considered a juxtaposition too far, and a contradiction that needed to be met with force.
The force that met him was placed under his car, in a small plastic container, and it exploded, killing him. The following day, on Mother's Day, I thought about his mother. She spoke out last Monday with dignity, strength, and conviction.

It is Lent and, as part of my work, we are looking at unusual relationships in the gospels. This was how I met Ann. She is part of a parish group examining how Jesus of Nazareth related to people who were different, people who were marginalised, people who were on the fringes, whether because they were lowly or because they were haughty. As we meet together to discuss these narratives, we examine the characters involved and consider the question of to whom these stories might speak today, and how we might demonstrate the subtlety of relationship depicted in the interactions of the text.
Last week, a group of us considered Judas. Judas is depicted as a traitor. Matthew and Mark's gospel accounts introduce Judas as the one who betrayed Jesus. Luke's first mention of Judas paints him as a traitor, and John, in addition to calling him a traitor, calls him a devil.
It is safe to say that the writers of the gospels inherited the outrage of the original disciples — that one of them should betray Jesus. Yet, there is a story of Judas that we must consider. When he betrayed Jesus with a kiss, Jesus called him "Friend." Following the death of Jesus, Judas repented, saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood" before ending his own life.
As we discussed Judas, we thought that his agenda may have been a more political one — to begin a revolt, to start a flame with the small spark of an arrest of Jesus of Nazareth. That he was disappointed by the outcome of death is evident. And so, we gave time to widen the character of Judas in our imagination, seeing him beyond categories.
Irish society, north and south of the border, has at times been characterised by people who have loudly declaimed each other as traitors. In order to consider the question of who the character of Judas is in the gospel, we have had to pay attention to his own actions and his own words, not just the words of those who caricature him. If we are to apply something from a close narrative reading of the text, we must recognise that the term "traitor" is too easily used, and too easily thrown.
Ronan Kerr was not a Judas, he was not a traitor. With his life, words, and body, Ronan Kerr was holding within himself identities that are symbolic of a shared and peaceful future for all on the Island of Ireland. He was one of many, Catholic and Protestant, who embody within themselves the delightful and radical combination of identities that one time were considered juxtapositional.
I believe that the character of Judas had lost his own self. He had forgotten what it meant to be in relationship with real people because his relationship with his ideology had become supreme. In some ways, I consider those responsible for the death of Ronan Kerr, who as yet have not yet claimed responsibility, to be addicted to the chaos that for so long dominated the life of society in the north of Ireland.
In light of Ronan Kerr's death, we spent a long time speaking in a congregational group about how Jesus would speak to the bombers. We have outrage, fear, protest, desires for justice, and desires for peace each speaking loudly within us. If we are to learn from Judas, we can learn that an ideology, taken to its logical extreme, removed from the narrative of everyday, ordinary people who wish to live a peaceful life, is a frightening and dangerous thing.

Last year, while working with a primary school class here in Belfast, a child said:
"Pádraig, let me ask you a question. God loves us right?"
Avoiding the complexity of anthropomorphic projections of human experiences onto God, I answered, from the heart of me, with what I hope.
"Yes," I said.
"And God made us all didn't he?" she continued.
I avoided discussions of "made" and "He" and said:
"Tell me this," she said, "why did God make Protestants?"
When I asked her why she was asking me this, she said:
"Well, they hate us and they hate Him."
I had been amused at the start. Now, I was not amused. I wondered what stories were educating this funny, witty, engaging, and lively child.
This child understood some human lessons and had learnt them well. They hate us. They hate our God. They are unknown, and the hollow story we tell is that they are also unknowable.
Another child that I was working with once drew a picture of a big boot, kicking a small figure. The boot was labeled "Catlichs" and the boot "Purdestints". He could not yet spell, yet he knew the rules of the story he believed.
There is an Irish saying that I love: ar scáth a chéile a mhaireas na daoine. It translates as "it is in the shelter of each other that the people live". Krista's interview with John Paul Lederach reminds me of the intentionality we must incarnate when working with our lives to create avenues out of violent conflict. We must nurture unpredictable relationships. We must share shelter with people whose shelter we would rather not share. We must share stories with people whose stories we would rather not share. This may not be popular, but it may just save us.
Last week, I watched from my window as a band parade made its way from commemorations in the city northwest up the Crumlin Road. My flat is about 300 yards from the place where a sit-down protest was underway to stop those parading. The history of both groups, one mostly Catholic-Nationalist and one mostly Protestant-Unionist is important.
What is also important is that each was saying to the other "We belong here".
"We belong here" has often been coupled with "And you don't", a point which we've proven in Ireland with grief and grieving. The slow, slow antidote to this story of not-belonging has always included something that is older than language — a positive encounter with a person who represents the thing that we think we should hate. There are stories from here that make me cry and hope every time I hear them — stories of bravery, honesty, truth-telling, sheltering, and embrace across every possible barrier to belonging.
Part of my work is facilitating discussions between people who are interested in building relationships with those who are perceived to be an "other". Earlier this year, one group spoke of their neighbourhood's trauma following a shooting on a Friday afternoon in the 1990s. Seven men left dead. One of the women said "and there's many that died whose hearts kept beating". She spoke of a Protestant paramedic who tended the bodies of Catholic dead who was so traumatised that he could never return to his work. While we speak of 3,700 people who lost their lives from our 30-year conflict, we all know someone who kept their life, but who felt like they'd lost it. There are stories within stories that are desperate to be heard, and when they're heard, they bring us to the place of encounter and empathy, which is the essence of hope and humanity.
The riots that brought attention to Belfast last week are localised. This doesn't mean that they are ignorable. They are not. They speak to a deep wound in our capacity to remember. A mostly-ignored government funded "Report on the Past" was published last year. Its recommendations are brave and I hope we can pay attention.
I am thinking now of Anaïs Nin who said: "We do not tell stories as they are. We tell them as we are."
And who are we in this part of Ireland? We are people who all know stories of hurt, pain, division, separation, fury, and prejudice. We are people who have loved the land we live on. We are people who have done and spoken and created and given beautiful things and terrible things to each other. We must be educated by the stories that gave rise to last week's events. We must engage in Lederach's vision of the moral imagination to hear, include, and transcend these events.
And, we must tell different stories. Not necessarily new ones, but deeper ones — stories of remembering, belonging, safety, and shelter.

A is for Alleluia.
A is for Ashes and last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, the day when many denominations observe the beginning of Lent — the 40-ish days leading up to the Last Supper, the death of Jesus, the finding of the empty tomb, and the mysterious appearances of Jesus.
Lent comes from the Latin word for Spring. So, it seems that Lent is for Spring.
When I was a small boy, the talk in the class was what you were giving up for Lent — crisps, or lemonade, or, for the radically committed, sweets. Last Tuesday, eating pancakes and lemons, some friends discussed what to give up. We were all agreed: Lent is less for giving up, and more for making space.
We make space to contemplate what it is that we will celebrate in 40 days' time. We make space to recognise our faults. We pray a little more. We allow our emptier stomachs to remind us of the pithiness of our observations in comparison with real hunger. We give more money. We confess. We reconcile. We listen to emptiness for a while. We do not say Alleluia.
This Ash Wednesday, I went to Clonard Monastery between work meetings. There were workmen, nurses, office people, people in tracksuits, children, teenagers, young, old. We lined up and had ashes, made from the burnt palms of last year's jubilant celebration of Palm Sunday, smeared on our foreheads with the words "Turn away from sin and return to the Gospel". After Mass, I walked from the Catholic Falls Road through the city centre into the Protestant Donegall Pass. I wiped the ash from my head, aware of offence and violence.
This year, I have been a sometimes-absent, sometimes-silent friend. I have been bad at communication. Good intentions, frankly, have not been enough. Decisions about what charity to give to have resulted in distraction, not action.
I am hoping that empty space will create something for me. I am giving up eating anything between meals. Three square a day for me. And, pithy as it seems, I am also giving up sweet things. Hard core for me this Lent.
On Holy Thursday, the Eucharist is removed from the tabernacle in the church. We attend the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, reminding ourselves of the emptying of God by God. We remember the descent of our tortured and abandoned brother into Hell. We allow emptiness to create hope.
A friend of mine told me a month ago that he's been diagnosed as HIV positive. Another friend is in the gut-clenching grip of heartbreaking decisions. Someone is unemployed. Someone is lonely. And I am hoping that Lent will create a bit of space for me to commit my time, my body, and what love I can give. Such resolutions will not, please God, end with an Easter celebration, when a fire will be lit outside the monastery and we will process into the church with springtime candles lit from that same fire.
A is for Allel…

Sold a Single Family home in 2014 for approximately $200K in Greensburg, PA.
We had already begun building a new home when we hired Vance to sell our existing home. We had already talked with three other realtors and were given their market evaluations for our property. Because our home was in a rural area, recently sold comparisons were hard to find. Vance made the best effort to find comparables and to determine a price that reflected the value of our home and location. He wasted no time getting it listed and to our amazement it sold the first week at asking price. Throughout the process of the sale, Vance proved to be very knowledgeable and he was very responsive and supportive. In fact, the folks who bought our home turned to him for answers when their realtor failed to respond. We highly recommend Vance if you are buying or selling.

Sold a home in 2014.
Vance is top-notch to work with. We have worked with several realtors on both sides of the process and Vance compares to none. He is phenomenal! He is attentive, very knowledgeable, helpful, patient, and personable just to name a few. We highly recommend Vance and will use him again in a heartbeat in the future. Not only did he help us navigate the selling process, we walked away feeling as though we made a new friend. Simply, Vance is the BEST!

Bought a home in 2013.
Vance treated us with the same courtesy as someone buying a million dollar home. He was very professional and knowlegeable during the whole time- [and his dry sense of humor was delightful.] He made a very stressful situation go as smoothly as possible. We highly recommend him.

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $275K in Greensburg, PA.
Vance and his team are an absolute pleasure to deal with. We utilized them for both purchasing and selling, and in both instances, they met and exceeded expectations. When we were purchasing, Vance was patient and wonderful in assisting us find a home that met our wants and needs. From a seller's perspective, Vance's guidance and knowledge of the process greatly reduced the stress that goes along with selling a home. He is upfront, honest, and provides his opinions without trying to "sell you." Would recommend him to anyone and utilize him again if the need arose without hesitation.

Sold a Single Family home in 2013 in Greensburg, PA.
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that I received asking price for home. Even though several offers came in lower than listed, I never felt pressured to give in with a lower counter offer. The guidance from Vance enabled me to be patient and ultimately achive my goal of getting the best possible price. I also feel that Vance is a well known and respected person in the community. A great asset in the real estate field.

Sold a home in 2011.
We used Vance to purchase and sell our home over an approximately one year period from 2010 - 2011. Vance displayed great patience with us as we took a year to find the home we wanted to purchase and then listed and sold our home in approximately 1 month. His knowledge of the area and connections within the greater Greensburg area are extensive and very helpful. Never displayed hesitance with out of the ordinary requests. Easy to communicate with via phone, email and text and quickly returned calls. Showed us a multitude of homes and did so at our convenience. Negotiated good deals for us for the purchase of our new home and sale of our previous home. Diligently worked to sell our home. Would highly recommend.

Listed, but didn't sell my Single Family home in 2011 in New Alexandria, PA.
Our experience with Vance Booher as our real estate agent (and a friend) was the BEST. In a marketplace that was difficult and uncertain and a property that needed a very specific buyer, his knowledge, responsiveness, innovation and dilligence brought the intended conclusion. His firm, yet gentle demeanor, offered us the confidence to stay the course. Thanks, Vance!

Bought a home in 2010.
My husband and I just purchased our first home in April of 2010. Vance Booher was our realestate agent. He was extremely prompt with meeting us and was thorough with details on properties. He truly made the process of looking for a home easy and enjoyable. He provided great insight and information on available properties and helped us process our needs and wants out of each property. He was very informative in explaining the paperwork aspect of the buying process ,taking time with us to make sure we were comfortable and well informed. I would recommend his services for anyone that is looking to purchase a home.

From our initial meeting to the closing on our home, Vance was always there for us. He kept us informed and guided us through every step of the home buying process. He answered all of our questions and handled any issue that would arise. He made the experience smooth and seamless. He is honest and tells it like it is. We will certainly call Vance whenever we need to buy or sell real estate.

Sold a home in 2010.
After interviewing three other realtors we decided on Vance Booher. With the other realtors I felt they were treating the sale of my house as a yard sale item. I feel that selling a house as a business deal. Vance really knows business. He knew how to price, market, and negotiate the sale of my house. My house sold before the sign even went up in the yard. I feel this happened because of how rooted Vance is in the community. The pictures that were taken of the house were the best I've seen. When I look at realtor web sites I've seen pictures of dogs, cat litter boxes, boxes, and other inappropriate things that should not be in the pictures. Vance took the time to make sure the house showed very well. During the entire process I felt that Vance had a personal interest in the sale of my house. If I need a realtor I will be calling on Vance again.
