The following is a guest reflection from Sr. Camille D'Arienzo, R.S.M., a journalist, author, radio commentator, and Sister of Mercy living in the Diocese of Brooklyn, N.Y.
Newsday's front page story about a nun killed by a hit-and-run driver on a country road in Water Mill, N.Y., included a photo of the victim's smiling face. That inset was in sharp contrast to the screaming headline: "Tears for Sister Jackie." The headline writer couldn't have known the waterfall of tears that would flow during the gatherings and services that, over the following days, would draw an estimated five thousand to find solace and support in St. Edward the Confessor Church in Syosset. It was in that Long Island parish where Jackie Walsh, 59, played so many roles that one parishioner exclaimed, "What will we do without her? Sister Jackie ran everything!" Those words, spoken at the first service, held less than 24 hours after her death, were among many tributes to this extraordinarily beloved Sister of Mercy. Father Tom Fusco, St. Edward's pastor and Jackie's friend, extended the invitation to gather at once. He knew his parishioners needed to come to their church to be with one another in God's presence.
Young people described Sister Jackie as a grown-up to whom they found it easy to talk. Adults who had been away from the church discovered Jackie to be a welcoming open door for them; newcomers to Catholicism and those planning weddings relished her instruction and assistance. Their memories held her as a generous, forgiving, easy-going woman who was convinced of God's unconditional love for every member of the human family. She never judged anyone or took herself too seriously. She loved people and she loved life—music, dancing, nature, parties. Her laugh was as big as her compassion was deep. The local rabbi confessed that he once wanted to hug Sister Jackie, but didn't know if it was acceptable for a rabbi to hug a nun. The burst of laughter he received in response assured him that it was. Parishioners had no hesitation about leaning on Jackie; children had no problem climbing up on her lap.
Local media could not get enough of the story. Newspapers and radio and television stations detailed the events related to the sudden death of this sister. The elements were classic: Beloved nun takes a walk on the road where she and other Sisters of Mercy were at the start of a week-long spiritual retreat. Very close to the retreat house, Mercy Villa, a driver in a borrowed car mows her down, speeds away and vanishes. The one small comfort was that he alerted a sister walking in the opposite direction to the body he'd left on the road. At least everyone would know she had not lain there long, but had died on impact. Prayers during that first service and again during the funeral Mass the following Saturday included petitions that the killer would be found and that he would find pardon and peace. "Sister Jackie," one man said, "has already forgiven him."
The church couldn't accommodate all who attended Saturday morning's Mass of the Resurrection. A huge tent held an extra 250 people, but standees still lined the walls. Nobody seemed to be complaining. They would do anything for their Jackie, as was evident in the gifts of food, flowers, tributes and donations. During his homily, Father Fusco revealed that the parish window washers had come by on Thursday to wash the church's many windows without charge. They said they knew Sr. Jackie appreciated clean windows.
The picture on the Mass booklet was of the disciples who encountered the risen Jesus on their way to Emmaus. They didn't recognize the person for whom they were grieving. Jesus walked and talked with them, explaining the events. They later recognized him in the breaking of the bread. This, Jackie's favorite scripture passage, was what she was praying about during her final walk on earth, a walk the pastor said led her into the arms of a loving God. Surely, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, Jackie's heart was burning within her!
The first reading, from Micah, spoke of the sacrifice most pleasing to God: to act justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God. The homilist offered ample examples of how Sister Jackie fulfilled each of those virtues. She understood the necessity of tempering justice with mercy, her tender love embraced relatives, religious community and parishioners and her humility prevented her from seeing herself as better than others. She related easily with people of all kinds. Once, while undergoing physical therapy, she was listening to music on her iPod. She turned to the young male therapist and said, "I bet you're wondering what kind of music a nun listens to." To his nodded assent, she passed him the iPod: Jennifer Lopez! Her choice of music was eclectic.
During one of the sharing sessions, a sister recalled that Jackie's photographs were superior to anyone else's because she captured her subjects' emotions. Perhaps that was because, in her humility, she, as listener and observer, could be entirely focused on the other person. Many people received her photos as gifts. Father Fusco reported receiving not one, but five, beautiful albums for his recent Jubilee. For each occasion, he said, her gift was accompanied by "an eloquent, effusive expression of gratitude." Citing another example of her humility, he said Sister Jackie sat in the dunk tank at parish festivals. Because so many paid for privilege of dunking her, theirs became "the most lucrative in the history of festival dunk tanks!"
The final reflection came from her friend and sponsor into the Mercy Community, Sister Anne Lynch. She spoke of Jackie's education through college, her years as Supervisor for the Department of Recreation and Parks and, finally, at 29, her decision to become a Sister of Mercy. Her parents weren't pleased with their only child's decision. In time, however, they realized they had inherited a much larger family—Jackie's sisters in community. They joined in their efforts and celebrations and each died surrounded by Sisters of Mercy.
Anne repeated words from Jackie's profession ceremony many years ago: "God of love, God of laughter, God of my life, all creation speaks to me of you." Jackie Walsh lived life intensely. She had on her website two favorite quotes from Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. The first: "What a glorious thing it is to be a Sister of Mercy!" The second: "Do all you can for the people of God. The time is short."
Although, for the God of Eternity, time is never short, we who mourn our Sister Jackie feel shortchanged. On the other hand, only at this time in Jackie's life, only under the tragic circumstances that took her from us, would we have seen so clearly in the thousands who came to pray and pay tribute, the Power of One whose life was spent in sync with the God who called her.
One question lingers. We will not ask who will replace this vibrant woman. There never was a replaceable human being. But who will draw from the example of Jackie's life and death the courage to follow in her footsteps as a Sister of Mercy?

How To Get Into the Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP)?
The Statewide Portable Equipment Registration Program (PERP), established in 1997, has emission standards that engines must satisfy. As a consequence all portable engines are not automatically eligible for registration. Certified engines which have been tested by the U.S. EPA or the ARB and meet the most current federal off-road engine emission standards are eligible for the PERP. Older engines that do not meet the most stringent California emissions standards such as those designated as Tier 1, 2 and some Tier 3 engines will not be accepted into the PERP Program.
Critical Engine Registration Requirements
June 30, 2014
This will be the last day ARB will accept initial registration applications for Interim Tier 4 engines rated from 175 bhp to 750 bhp.
Effective July 1, 2014
For initial registration into PERP, all diesel engines must meet the following certification tier levels:
Owners of portable engines and equipment wishing to register in PERP should visit the ARB online and download and fill out the necessary forms with all the required information. All PERP forms are available online ARB's website.
Reporting and Recordkeeping
The reporting and recordkeeping requirements vary. If you own a registered portable equipment unit or engine, refer to the operating conditions that you receive with the registration for the specific recordkeeping requirements for your registered engine and/or equipment unit.
Required recordkeeping shall be made available to the District upon request.

MURRAY, Ky. -- It wasn't as if the high-powered Murray State offense needed any help Saturday night, but the Racers also got touchdowns from the special teams (punt return) and defense (interception return) and nearly added another on a fumble return.
That's pretty much enough information to let Tennessee Tech football fans know how things went in Stewart Stadium. Not well.
Right from the opening kickoff, things were topsy-turvy for the Golden Eagles, and the Racers rolled to a 70-35 Ohio Valley Conference victory.
The Golden Eagles, (2-3/0-2 OVC) finally return home to Tucker Stadium next week, following a three-game road trip that resulted in three straight losses. Tech will host Jacksonville State Saturday (Oct. 6) at 7 p.m.
Murray State (2-3/1-1 OVC) got 599 total yards of offense, with much of the damage coming from three sources: quarterback Casey Brockman was 32-for-38 for 381 yards and two touchdowns and was not sacked and didn't throw an interception; runningback Jaamal Berry had 13 carries for 142 yards and a touchdown; Walter Powell caught 10 passes for 162 yards and one touchdown.
The Racers were not whistled for a single penalty in the game.
Tech finished with 461 yards of total offense, including 298 through the air and 163 on the ground. Golden Eagle quarterback Tre Lamb was 19-for-30 for 278 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted once and sacked twice. Bud Golden led the Tech ground game with 63 yards and one touchdown on nine carries. Da'Rick Rogers caught five passes for 58 yards, while Cody Matthews grabbed three for 119 yards and one touchdown.
Tech had nine penalties for 80 yards.
* Coach Watson Brown and the Golden Eagle coaching staff are wearing "Coach to Cure MD" patches at tonight's game, part of a national gameday charity project of the American Football Coaches Association. The coaches will be wearing patches to help raise awareness of the program. For more information, please to to www.CoachtoCureMD.org
* Perfect weather and playing conditions in Murray, Ky., for the OVC showdown between the Golden Eagles and Racers. Tech will be wearing all-white uniforms and white helmets, with purple numbers and gold trim. Murray State is decked out in navy blue jerseys, gold pants and helmets.
* True freshman Jibrin Linge (Marietta, Ga.) is expected to get his first career start at left guard, while Wesley Sherrill, who has been the starter at that position, has moved to the starting slot at right tackle.
* Junior Cory McDonald (Redwood City, Calif.) will make his first career start at strong safety for the Golden Eagles. He replaces Austin Tallant, who is out with an injury.
* Both Tech and Murray are looking to bounce back from overtime losses on the road last week. Tech fell, 41-38 in two overtimes, at Southeast Missouri. Murray State lost, 50-49, in one overtime at Eastern Illinois.
* Tonight's game is Tech's third consecutive road game. The Golden Eagles play four of their next five at home in Tucker Stadium.
* Quarterback Tre Lamb needs just 66 yards to pass Grant Swallows and move into third place in career passing yards. Lamb has thrown for 4,569 yards.
* The Golden Eagle offense is expecting the return of leading rusher Adam Urbano, after he missed the SEMO game due to a concussion. Bud Golden is also expected to return to action for the first time since the opening game.
* The Tech defense is missing two of its top seven tacklers as Marty Jones is out for the year and Austin Tallant is not dressed for this game.
* Tech leads the all-time series with Murray State, 41-35-1, but the Racers have won three of the last four including 38-37 last year in Cookeville. The Racers have outscored Tech, 95-34, in the last two games in Roy Stewart Stadium.
* Today's game captains are (9) Tre Lamb, (54) Matt Moran, (13) Marcus Edwards and (73) Slade Adams.
* Murray wins coin toss and defers. Tech will receive at the South end.
* Tech sends a pair of true freshmen deep to receive the kickoff - Ladarius Vanlier and Eric Belew. Vanlier fumbled it into the end zone, then tried to bring it out. He's caught at the two, setting the defense into motion in a deep hole.
* Lamb avoid a safety, escapes the end zone and reaches the four on third dow. Tech forced to punt, and it goes out of bounds at the TTU 31-yard line.
* Quick scoring drive for the Racers as Casey Brockman gets tremendous protection, has plenty of time and finds Walter Powell all alone in the end zone. After PAT it's 7-0 MSU lead with 13:05 to play in first quarter.
* Second kickoff, Vanlier returns from the eight to the TTU 33. Lamb hits Da'Rick Rogers on consecutive passes over the middle, and first down at the MSU 24. Lamb fires a pass to Cody Matthews and he breaks free for an 18-yard TD, his first of the year. Zach Sharp's PAT ties game at 7-7.
* Powell returns Tech's kickoff from the 10 all the way to the MUR 44. Tech defense forces an incomplete pass, but Golden Eagles offsides. MSU faces third-and-one at Tech 23, and Brockman sacked. Gets back to line, so its fourth-and-one. Duane Brady picks it up with a three-yard run. Pass to the goal line incomplete and deflected, almost intercepted. Third-and-eight, and Brockman hits Nevar Griffin, and he breaks ackles and dives into the end zone. However, ruling is that he stepped out of bounds at the one. First-and-goal. Brockman sneaks to the right side, and scores. Make it MSU 14, Tech 7 with 8:07 to play in first.
* Vanlier flattened at the 19 on the KO return. Fourth-and-one, Golden Eagles going for it on their own 28? They set up at the line, but call timeout. And out comes the punting team. Zinchini gets off a 51-yard kick to the MSU 22, fair catch there.
* Third down, Murray confuses the defense and Powell races arond the left side untouched for a seven-yard touchdown. It's 21-7 with 3:02 to play in first quarter.
* Hard to understand why fans would come to the stadium, then stay out in the parking lot. At least 100 or more out at the cars listening to music and tailgating, rather than coming into the stadium.
* After eight-yard pickup on first, Tech stopped twice and brings up another fourth down. Four possessions and three punts in the first quarter, and this one is returned for a touchdown. Tremendous effort by Walter Powell, who was hit by Zinchini but keeps his balance for the 70-yard score. MSU 28, Tech 7 with 1:02 to play in first quarter.
* Quarter comes to a close with Lamb stopped for loss of three.
* Third down passes broken up, and Zinchini to punt from the 37. He gets a good bounce and Powell fields it and downs it at the seven.
* Powell having an All-America performance. He breaks several tackles and gets to the four. Next play, a TD run by Brady and it's 35-7 with 13:35 to go in the second quarter.
* Tech gets a first down near midfield, but the world turns on the Golden Eagles, once again. Lamb hits Cody Matthews in full stride down the middle for a huge gain, but he's tackled from behind and the ball is stripped. Murray's Darrian Skinner picks up the loose ball at the two-yard line and returns it all the way back to midfield. Matthews is injured on the play and helped off the field.
* Murray State turns the turnover into another TD.
* Nice run up the middle by Bud Golden to the TTU 45, followed by another big run for Golden to the MSU 42. Back-to-back first downs. First down as Lamb hits Vanlier at the MSU 31. Offense was moving last possession before the fumble, and is moving again right now. All out rush and Lamb sacked for loss of eight. Steve Wilson grabs a 12-yard pass as Lamb steps up to avoid another strong rush. Fourth-and six. Complete, first down, Lamb finds Vanlier at the 20. Wow, Golden rambles around left end for 20 yards and nobody even made a play on him. Touchdown Golden Eagles to cut it to 42-14 with 3:41 to play in first half. His first career touchdown at Tech.
* Fair catch called for and made at the 28....but a Golden Eagle runs into him. A 15-yard penalty moves the ball out to the 42.
* Pass down the middle complete to Dontel Watkins and he's brought down....wait, he doesn't go down. Three Golden Eagles try to make the play but he gets away at about the 20 and cruises into the end zone. MSU 49-14 with 2:33 to go in the half. It's Brockman's 50th career touchdown pass.
* Vanlier returns the kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown, the first of his career. It's the first KO return for touchdown since Henry Sailes in 2008 and sixth in Watson Brown's six seasons at Tech. It's the sixth-longest KO return in school history.
* Not a good night for tacklers. Jaamal Berry breaks of a 35-yard carry to the Golden Eagle 40. Murray calls timeout with 39.4 seconds left at the Tech 20. MSU completion to Grifin who's charging for the end zone, but freshman Demario Donnell drills him at the two, separates the ball from his grasp and it bounces into the end zone where Tra'Darius Goff recovers for Tech for a touchback.
* MSU almost breaks opening kickoff before Patrick Prewitt makes tackle at the 36. Ball slips from Brockman's hand as he tries to pass, but he recovers for loss at the MSU 44. On third down, Will Johnson breaks up a pass, and Tech forces the first Racer punt of the game. It sails into the end zone for a touchback.
* Down by four touchdowns, Golden Eagle offense has some work ahead as Lamb & Co. begin at the 25.
* OH NO! Lamb's pass goes through the receiver's hand at the 25 and into the hands of Murray State's Julian Whitehead, who trots to the end zone. Just when you thought things were turning in Tech's direction...... Murray State 56, Tech 21 with 12:52 to play in third quarter.
* Tech marches downfield with strong running game by Golden and Urbano, but stalls at the 27. On third down, a pass into the corner of the end zone is dropped. On fourth down, Lamb's pass is too long and Tech turns it over on downs.
* Lamar Moore makes a great play and stops a third-down pass play, forcing a Racer punt, which bounces dead at the Tech 15-yard line with 6:53 to go in the third.
* Big gain on a swing pass to Urbano, who races out to the TTU 39 for a first down. Lamb finds Matthews down the sideline, and he takes it to the MSU seven. First-and-goal. Touchdown. Complete from Lamb to redshirt freshman Steve Wilson, his second TD catch in two weeks. Tech back within 28 points, 56-28.
* Duane Brady squirts through a hole up the middle, then dodges tacklers into the end zone for another Racer TD. That makes it 63-28 with 2:35 left in the third quarter.
* Lots and lots of players getting to see action tonight. Right now offense includes freshman runningback Radir Anoor and freshman receivers Eric Belew and Krys Cates. Lamb's pass underthrown and Tech force to punt.
* Couple more sure tackles broken, and Brady breaks free for a touchdown. PAT makes it 70-28.
* Darian Stone now in at quarterback for the Golden Eagles.
* KD Humphries is at quarterback for the Racers.
* Nice run by Stone for a first down, breaking into the open field and dodging defenders. Another nice run for Stone, and he goes out of bounds at the MSU nine with 6.5 seconds left. Stone hits Cates in the end zone for a nine-yard TD. Sharp's kick with 1.3 seconds remaining, makes it 70-35. It was Cates' first career touchdown.
* Game over.

The economic development of one country is dependent upon the ability of the authorities to set up a highly suitable, competitive and reliable electricity sector. Why is natural gas better than coal boilers?
Only when there is extreme environmental pressure or substantial reduction in loads that conversion from coal to 100% natural gas is possible.
Not until the 20th century until natural gas was used for production of energy, it was dismissed as a useless byproduct of crude oil production until then. But now natural gas accounts for 23 percent of the world's energy consumption and still growing. The International Energy Agency predicts that the demand for natural gas will grow by approximately 44 percent through 2035.
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning conventional fuel not to mention it has been one of the most economical energy sources. It is an environmentally friendly and efficient source of energy. It produces lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions than heavier hydrocarbon fuels such as coal and oil. Natural gas fuels electric power generators, heats buildings and is used as a raw material in many consumer products, such as those made of traditional plastics. However, natural gas has never been a cheaper fuel than coal.
Coal is one of the longest-used and is considered as the most abundant fossil fuels on Earth. Coal mining has been going on since then 17th century. Coal burning boilers have also been around for a long time, and while they may not always be popular, these machines have some definite advantages in terms of costs and simplicity.
Because it is the most abundant it is the cheapest form of fossil fuel to burn. But coal boilers on the other hand have harmful effects on the environment and human health. Its emissions contain sulfur combines with air to create the poison gas sulfur oxide. When this gas releases into the atmosphere, it causes polluting rain. Extracting coal from mines further damages soil and water resources, adding to the disadvantages of using coal burning boilers.
While coal prices are expected to remain stable natural gas prices are expected to increase as higher cost natural gas reserves need to be developed to meet growing demand and offset losses from depleting gas wells. On the other hand, natural gas based technologies have a capital cost advantage.
Whatever the costs may be, don't you think it is better to use natural gas rather than the coal boilers? Even though natural gas is more costly than coal boilers it is less harmful to the environment and to human health. It is always better to take into considerations the things that are more important than money. It is not wise to be thrifty over something that in a long run would back fire on you and worst your kids. Long term effects of coal boilers are scarier than the costs in terms of money that it will bring us today. Environmental effects and health issues will sure be more costly in the future.

Re: set gdefault in _viemurc not working
I have "set gdefault" in my _viemurc, but it seems to be getting ignored.
Other things (maps, etc.) seem to be working in there though. :set gdefault after VS has started seems to work as expected, but it would be nice not to have to type that every time I start VS.

punkish has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am not very good at Perl, but I know my way around, and keep myself employed usefully with the help of Perl. I love using it, and hopefully, get better every day.
Sadly, even after having used Perl for several years, I am confused by where Perl is going.
Perl 6, by its name, implies that it is the next version of Perl, the one after Perl 5. Yet, if I want to install Perl 6, I am directed to "Rakudo Star," a "compiler" based on "Parrot," a virtual machine. Whoa! What happened here?
Seriously, was there a creative naming contest? Was there a, lets-see-how-confusing-we-can-get contest?
Will this be resolved when the "next major version of Perl" arrives? I can't imagine trying to explain to folks that Perl 6 is a "reference specification" and not a language (compiler, virtual machine... whatever).
On the other hand, all this confusion could merely be limited to me and no one else. Would knowledge monks please clarify?
By the way, I installed "Rakudo Star" on my MacBook, and am thoroughly enjoying the new language, and the new yet familiar way to program. Nice job you all.
Update: After a bit more tinkering with Perl 6, I am loving it even more. Its just so... modern. I wish its developers all the success and speed. I can't hardly wait for the first production/stable version to arrive. Many thanks.

Tulane Hosts Allstate Sugar Bowl Volleyball Classic park
NEW ORLEANS (Sept. 10, 2009) — The eighth annual Allstate Sugar Bowl Women's Volleyball Classic will be hosted by Tulane University this Friday and Saturday at Fogelman Arena. Joining the Green Wave in the event will be LSU, Long Beach State and the University of New Orleans. Tulane has won the tournament in each of the past two years.
The tournament opens with UNO, making its fifth appearance in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Volleyball Classic, battling Long Beach State at 4 p.m. on Friday, followed by host Tulane battling LSU at 7 p.m. Prior to this match, the Green Wave athletic department will hold a special ceremony to unveil banners displaying the 2008 Conference USA and tournament championships, as well as a banner marking the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA tournament.
"That is going to make the whole day exciting," first-year Tulane head coach Sinisa Momic said of Friday's pre-match festivities. "It's a historic day for Tulane volleyball. Playing our first match at home after winning the conference championship last year, we need to let everyone know that we still have quality players and will still be a quality program. Raising those banners will make all the alumni and the people who were involved with the program before proud. They deserve it. They deserve to see that for the first time. Hopefully, it will motivate the team to play well."
Saturday's schedule opens with Long Beach State playing LSU at 11 a.m. It continues with UNO and Long Beach State at 4 p.m., followed by Tulane and Long Beach State at 8 p.m.
There will be three individual tickets ($6 for adults and $4 for youths) valid for the Allstate Sugar Bowl weekend: one for Friday's contests between UNO and Long Beach State at 4 p.m. and the Tulane/LSU match at 7 p.m., one for Saturday morning's match between Long Beach State and LSU at 11 a.m., and one for Saturday evening's matches between UNO and LSU at 4 p.m. and the Tulane/Long Beach State finale at 8 p.m. A tournament pass may also be purchased for $15, which will give fans access to all five matches at Fogelman Arena.
Doors open one hour prior to each match and all Tulane football season-ticket holders will have an opportunity purchase half-price tickets. Fans are invited to park throughout the weekend and the 2009 season free of charge in the Loyola Parking Garage, which is located on Freret Street just across from Fogelman Arena.

Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 Review
So maybe you have a new TV in your living room, but you don't know everything you may want to connect. You may want to build a computer to control your new TV and surround system, but where do you start? What would you need to put into this setup to be able to watch TV, play DVDs and Blu-ray discs, and stream online content? Well the first thing that you may want to look into is getting a TV Tuner card and a video card that is going to be able to give you the ability to support DVD and Blu-ray playback. That is where Diamond Multimedia comes into the mix with its All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 pack. Not only to you get a TV Wonder 750 PCIE card, but also an AMD Radeon HD5570 video card along with some accessories. I am curious to see exactly how well these two cards perform when they are put up against the competition.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 is quite simple. The Diamond logo is in the upper left hand corner with the PCI-E 1024MB GDDR3 and Radeon Graphics tags in the upper right hand corner. Toward the top of the package, in the center, is the All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 name with the tag under it saying "Turn Your PC into the Ultimate Digital Home Entertainment Center". Underneath are a few of the features of the combo package, such as HDMI with 7.1 Channel Surround Sound, High Definition Blu-ray Playback, and the ability to Watch, Pause, and Record Live HDTV on your PC. Toward the bottom of the package is a computer monitor with a film reel, letting you know that you will be able to watch HD movies and TV on your computer. Taking a look at the back of the package shows everything that is included in the package — the HD5570 Graphics Card, the TVW750 PCIE HDTV Tuner Card, the TVW750 Remote Control, the TVW750 Antenna, and your accessories. At the top of the back is a nice blurb giving you a more in-depth detailed description of the Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 package.
Opening the packaging reveals two smaller white boxes. One box contains the AMD HD5570 Graphics Card and its accessories, while the other box contains the TVW750 card and its accessories. The associated installation CD and documentation are also included in each box, making it easier to know what goes with what. Each card is wrapped in its own anti-static bag to keep it safe during the shipping process, as well as the un-boxing process.
Now that we know what the packaging looks like, we should take a closer look at the cards themselves and their accessories.

DUE WEST, S.C. – King faced a mix of struggles between their pair of games with the Erskine Flying Fleet on Saturday. Lady Tornado Softball dropped both games, 6-0 and 9-4, to fall to 5-5 overall on the season in their conference opening weekend of play.
GAME ONE: King 0, Erskine 6
King was limited to just three hits in game one of their doubleheader against the Fleet. Kelsey Spurrier held the Lady Tornado scoreless through seven innings while striking out ten batters in the 6-0 decision.
Senior Kendall Brabson (Bean Station, Tenn.) escaped a second-inning, bases loaded jam unscathed, but Erskine struck back in the third inning. Ericka McCarson led the inning off with a solo home run to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. Erskine added one more in the frame when Lindsay Waters scored on a sacrifice fly following a triple.
A four-run fourth gave Spurrier the run support needed to accompany her performance.
Brabson finished allowing six runs on eight hits, striking out three Erskine batters.
GAME TWO: King 4, Erskine 9
The King bats woke up in the night cap of the twinbill, however Erskine surpassed their offensive performance with nine runs on 16 hits in a 9-4 victory to complete the sweep.
Erskine struck early with a two-run home run in the first inning by Larissa Shannon and added to their lead with a four-run second inning with two-RBI base hits from Morgan Purcell and Bailey Thornton to give the Flying Fleet a 6-0 lead after two innings.
King chipped into the lead with a pair of runs in the third when Cassie Ringstaff (Richlands, Va.) and Kendall Brabson reached base to lead off the inning. Ringstaff finished her trip around the bases, scoring from second on a RBI single by Fallon Thomas (Bristol, Va.). Cora Milliken (Jacksonville, Fla.) recorded the first of her two ribbies by singling home Brabson later in the inning.
After giving up an addition run in the fourth, King took advantage of a pair of errors that put their first two runners on base in the following inning. Milliken again came through with a run-scoring single, followed by a ground out that turned in another King run to being the Lady Tornado within three runs of the Fleet, 7-4.
Erskine put the game out of reach, responding with two runs in their next at bat.
Christina Melcher (Orlando, Fla.), Cora Milliken, and Fallon Thomas each had two hits in the game, as a part of King's 10 total. Rachel Wilmoth (3-2) took the loss.
King (5-5, 0-2) will continue league play on the road against North Greenville University on Wednesday, Feb. 29. The Trojans and Lady Tornado will play two, beginning at 2:00 p.m. Following that series, King will play eight straight home games between March 1 and March 7, four of those against league opponents.

The car has airbags and all sorts of gear to reduce the severity of impact. If hitting the vulnerable person on the footpath meant 4 weeks in the clink, he would have hit the bus instead.
with respect, i think it's highly unlikely that anything other than self preservation instincts would have influenced the driver's evasive actions in those circumstances. they would not have time to weigh up the legal outcomes of their vehicle control inputs.
Very hard to be definitive about this, because we don't know the driver, but you CAN make those decisions. You might not get the opportunity to correct them, but this is precisely the point - if you can't take responsibility for the vehicle, you shouldn't be using it. I can't quite work out how charging onto the footpath is going to seem like a better plan than the bus, but I'm not the guy. I am not here to make his excuses though - just to advocate for a change in the rules.
Since riding regularly, I DO feel the weight and seriousness of driving a car when I'm behind the wheel. Most people simply don't appreciate what driving a car means. The law is there to force people to take their actions seriously.

|Mildred Loraine Gunzendorfer
I've learned a lot about my grandmother, Loraine Gunzendorfer, over the past year but I have no idea why she's posing in a wash basin for this photo!
Mildred Loraine Gunzendorfer was born in Santa Cruz on January 20, 1896 in Santa Cruz, California. And I have this to prove it!
A few years ago I requested her birth certificate from Santa Cruz County and the response was "no record found". So between that response and this document, I'm assuming she was born at home and my guess is that her mother, Birdie Schwartz, came home to her mother's house to give birth. Which would mean that Birdie and her daughter were born in the same house, the home of her parents, Louis and Rebecca (Steen) Schwartz which was built in about 1870.
|Louis Schwartz home
Santa Cruz, California
Louis Schwartz is standing on the grass in the front yard but I'm not sure who the kids in front are. If you enlarge the photo you can see an adult and a baby peering out of the window on the left!
Loraine grew up in Monterey and I've written a lot about her over the last year as I've gone through her scrapbook. I like to think about her being a young girl and what life was like for her over 100 years ago. This letter gives me a glimpse into what she was like.
San Francisco
Monday, Oct 10, 1905
My dear papa
I am feeling alright to-day except I have a swollen glands but I am allright otherwise brother sends his love to you Papa I herd you shaved off your moustache I think you look funny are you busy in the store in Monterey I am lonesone. for you papa brother says his lonesone for you to we are having a good time here.
Mama is writing to to you. We are both writing to you papa I am writing any-old thing.
I dont know any more things to tell you.
but I am going to close my letter.
but I have to say good-by.
Your loving daughter
Loraine & Wilton Gunzendorfer
What a sweet letter! And even sweeter that her father, Abe Gunzendorfer, made a note at the end to "answer this letter".
I was fortunate to have my grandmother in my life until my late 20's and it seems like just yesterday that she was here with us. How can 30 years have passed so quickly? Here's some things I remember about her:
She was always dressed very stylish, as evidenced in this picture.
I remember the last time I saw her she was sitting in her wheelchair at the nursing home dressed in a beautiful silk suit from Saks Fifth Avenue with bright red lipstick fresh on her lips.
Grandma had a lot of sayings that I still think about today. When she wasn't particularly impressed with something she'd say "I couldn't give it much" and if something didn't work out the way she liked she'd proclaim "that was bunk!".
Grandma wasn't the best driver, as I recall, and even as a young child it was a little unnerving to ride in the car with her. She must have realized she wasn't a great driver – as she approached an intersection she'd always beep her horn to let others know she was coming through. Even today if I hear a little beep while a car goes through an intersection I think of Loraine and smile.
Loraine's mind was sharp as a tack and she loved to hear my oldest daughter, and her only great-grandchild at the time, say her name. The two of them would be together and she'd say to my 3 year old daughter "who am I?" and she would exclaim "Great Grandma Loraine". Grandma would beam and then after a few minutes she'd ask again "who am I?" and the answer would be repeated. One day my daughter said to me "doesn't she know her own name?" Ah, Grandma, you were one of a kind.
Grandma loved to go out to dinner and she was only too happy to pay. We still laugh at the memory of her telling us to order whatever we like and as we each placed our order she'd immediately look at the menu as she said "where's that?" so she could check out the price. And when we'd go to the Country Club with my parents, Dad had to sign for the bill and it would be added to his monthly total. Of course Grandma wanted to pay so right there in the restaurant she'd get out her checkbook and write Dad a check to reimburse him for the total. It must have made quite an impact on me because I even took a picture of the event.
|Mildred Loraine (Gunzendorfer) Levy
Gordon Levy
approximately 1981
Mildred Loraine Gunzendorfer Levy died on my oldest daughter's 7th birthday, which was Mother's Day that year, May 8, 1982, in Santa Clara County. She joined her husband of nearly 50 years in Fresno, their home for their entire married life, at Chapel of the Light.
While I feel so fortunate to have so many of her belongings which helps me learn more about her, I sure wish she were here so we could share in this journey of her life together.
Happy 117th birthday, Grandma!

KDPS partners with volunteers for Project Safe Measures
The Kinston Department of Public Safety put a plan into action on Monday in hopes to bridge the gap between residents and law enforcement.
KDPS officials and volunteers from several major organizations across Kinston and Lenoir County went door-to-door across the city to talk to citizens and answer questions.
�(The KDPS) was approached by citizens who have had concerns about vandalism,� KDPS Director Bill Johnson said. �We thought this would be a good opportunity to address their concerns while helping the community as a whole, so we teamed up with other agencies.�
Accompanying the officers were representatives from Kinston Community Health, Council on Aging, Department of Social Services, Eastpointe, Elks Lodge, Kinston Chamber of Commerce, District Attorney, Lenoir County Drug Coalition, Juvenile Justice, Private Citizen Volunteers, Department of Agriculture and Project Safe Child.
�We just want to give help to the community any way we can in a positive light,� DSS Foster Care and Adoption Social Worker Ashley Andrews said.
KDPS Community Coordinator Jackie Leonard stressed the importance of having the police and other organizations talking directly to the citizens.
�When we go out to the community, it speaks volumes,� Leonard said. �This is a symbol of us standing behind the community and saying that we want better for the people in it.�
Law enforcement and volunteers were equipped with packets for citizens. Included in the packets were the new laws on texting, laws for DWI�s, the TIPS hotline and how to start a neighborhood watch program.
�This was something that will help us assist people for the betterment of the community,� KDPS Detective James Webb said. �We want to do whatever we can to assist the community.�
Johnson said the program was created to give Kinston residents an outlet to voice any problems they have.
�People have needs sometimes, but don�t know how to address them,� Johnson said. �Since we�re coming out to them, they can have some of those concerns answered.�
Merwyn Smith, a member of the Lenoir County Schools Board of Education, believes a good connection between the residents and law enforcement is necessary.
�It�s always a good thing to come and help with Project Safe Measures,� Smith said. �We want to help citizens feel good about going to the police. People usually don�t look at the police to be their friends, so we want to help build the relationship between them and the community.
�Plus, with me working with the Board of Education, this is a good way for people to see me outside of my regular job.�

I remember a few years ago whenever I would hear a new puzzle it would often be prefaced by the explanation that this was a puzzle asked at interviews for Microsoft. Examples were the classic "how to test if a linked list has a loop in it in linear time and constant space", and the by now hoary "U2 Puzzle". I always maintain the answer to "what should U2 do in this situation?" is "Sack their tour manager", but sadly no one seems to think that this is reasonable. International supergroups have never previously shown such strong regard for punctuality and I believe that their fans could tolerate the extra three minutes delay. Certainly, some of Microsoft's software releases have been in excess of three minutes later than their original shipping date. But I digress.
Anyway, these days many new puzzles I hear are prefaced by by an explanation that they were asked at interviews for Google. I wonder when this shift happened and Google took the crown for being the tech company with a reputation for hiring the best at answering funny little puzzles. I also wonder if they really were asked in interviews, or whether this is just a shorthand for "This is a moderately tricky problem, but you should be able to work out an answer within a reasonable period of time. At the very least you should be able to find some solution quite quickly even if it is not the optimal one". With this in mind, here are three puzzles relating to permutations which I think are of "popular tech company interview level". They might puzzle you for a while, but the solutions are fairly simple.
1. You are given a permutation of 1...n and you want to cyclically shift it by k. That is, the item at position 1 should go to k+1 mod n, at position 2 should go to k+2 mod n and so on. Usual restrictions apply: do this in linear time and with constant space [that is, you have a constant number of variables which can each hold an item or a pointer].
2. You are given a string of length n, consisting of words separated by spaces. Permute it so that the order of the words is reversed, but the words themselves still read left to write. For example, the transform applied to the first sentence of this puzzle would be "spaces. by separated words of consisting n, length of string a given are You"
3. Take a permutation of 0..2n-1 and subtract i from the i'th entry, modulo 2n.
For example, 2 3 1 0 becomes 2 2 3 1. Show that for any n this operation can never result in a new permutation. [Note that the permutation is of even length; for odd length one can easily find a permuation of length 3 for which this is not the case].
In terms of origins, one of these was apparently asked in a Google interview. One was a puzzle created by a CS researcher (not sure whom or how), and two of then came up in the context of a research problem to prove a lemma. Yes, that's four: one puzzle came up in two contexts.
Many thanks to Amit and Muthu for telling me some of these problems.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ANALI from Cool jeans This jeans have a lot of stretch but even with all that stretch my regular size 27 feels very tight, pulls my hips and pushes up my stomach. I will try the 28 instead. If you are very slim I'm sure your regular size will work for you but if your hips are fuller you might need to go up a size. I'm 37 inches on my hips, 5'4" tall. They look really cool on thou. I'm giving it 4 starts because my regular size is so tight and not sure if the 28 will fit because with all that stretch it might actually fit me big.

Among patients who were identified as likely having moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, treatment based in primary care was not clinically inferior to treatment at a specialist sleep center for improvement in daytime sleepiness scores, according to a study appearing in the March 13 issue of JAMA.
"Obstructive sleep apnea with accompanying daytime sleepiness was estimated during the early 1990s to affect between 2 percent and 4 percent of middle-aged adults. With growing awareness of the public health implications of untreated disease and rising obesity rates that have increased the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea, there has been a steady demand for sleep service provision in specialist centers and growing waiting lists for sleep physician consultation and laboratory-based polysomnography (PSG)," according to background information in the article. "One-third of primary care patients report symptoms suggestive of obstructive sleep apnea. With appropriate training and simplified management tools, primary care physicians and practice nurses might be ideally positioned to take on a greater role in diagnosis and management." However, whether an ambulatory approach would be noninferior (outcome not worse than treatment compared to) in a primary care setting is unknown.
Ching Li Chai-Coetzer, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., of the Adelaide Institute for Sleep Health, Repatriation General Hospital, Daw Park, South Australia, and colleagues conducted a study to compare the clinical efficacy and within-trial costs of a simplified model of diagnosis and care in primary care relative to that in specialist sleep centers. The randomized, controlled, noninferiority study included 155 patients with obstructive sleep apnea who were treated at primary care practices (n = 81) in metropolitan Adelaide, three rural regions of South Australia or at a university hospital sleep medicine center in Adelaide, Australia (n = 74), between September 2008 and June 2010. Both interventions (primary care management vs. usual care in a specialist sleep center) included continuous positive airway pressure, mandibular (lower jaw) advancement splints, or conservative measures only. The primary outcome measure was 6-month change in scores on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).

better rule descriptions such as if we can submit more than one entry. State how the contests will be judged (best drawn, cutest, most points, most likes, one that just appeals to your tastes and has nothing do with skill level.)
sipping at my sanity, drowning in monotony
Yeah I'd like to see less drawing related contests as well. If anything have some other artistic mediums, like photos, sewing, food, etc.. Trivia contests would be nice or something music related.
I have another idea. What about a create your own Naruto or Hunter x Hunter character, jutsu, or nen power?
Or perhaps a Code Geass contest where we create a Geass power. This all takes creativity and knowledge of the shows, but you guys can decide what you want us to do.
I think you guys come up with good contests for good shows, so there's not much more I can say. I read that you guys have a future writing contest coming up and I can't wait
Here's some suggestions:
1. best caption
2. best short fan fiction script
3. best impersonation of a character (through voice acting, physical acting, etc.)
4. best redo (what would you have changed in the anime, why, how)
that's all i could come up with, but i think it opens up a lot of options for people who just don't like drawing
Gin-chan come back ;^;
How about creating your own one page manga of that anime and have something interesting in it(not in the anime, manga or light novel)! >A<
Would you agree that can be a good contest? :3
Watch anime all day/night long!!!
I love your contest, i filled up my scketchbook and finally got around to messing with ink and crosshatching, not to mention giving me a reason to learn illustrator. I also like the caption contest since they provide plenty of laughs. If any improvement i would say that i really liked how for the Puelle Medoka Magica contest the winners were announced in a seperate post. As for series suggestions Medaka Box and Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere have some fun character design ( any excuse to draw pretty anime girls) and a Mecha contest would be fun.
I like the art contests, even though I rarely can think of an idea in time to participate. I do appreciate the few short story contests that you guys have had like in the Another contest. What could be fun is a live action recreation of a few minutes in a specified anime. It would be cool to see everyone messing around and anyone could do it. Plus who doesn't like getting together with friends and shooting stupid videos!!
Never Surrender
It depends of what people want like you could do two contest and let people choose which one they would like more and do that one. Still i could be troublesome if people like both i think that's ok, maybe. Ok so there could be contests of the best kinda cosplay of their favorite character. Make food to look like anime or so. Also for the singing thing i depends of who would really try to do the contest and if they really want the prize it depends. It takes experimenting to find out. I so far like all the contest they are fun to try to do. OOOH i got something you could do a type of contest that involves people making their own video of their fav anime and do a show or music video of their favorite song i geass. Since its winter there could be a contest of snowanimes. Where you could make a snowman into an anime character, still in some states/countries there isn't snow falling or its too cold. I'm out of ideas if i get anymore or so i'll post them, not like my ideas are that interesting anyways i'm just trying to help good luck on this
and now a lurkers opinion....
i rarely log in, unless i need to, to watch a show or enter a contest, lol but as for the contests, i agree with what a bunch of people have said most of them have been heavily biased to people with artistic ability leave the rest of us, screwed
and as an older member of crunchyroll (i have a full time job) i dont realy want to waste the time watching and re-watching episodes for a single line of text or something, which is why i straight out ignore any kind of contest that requires lots of watching shows to do, (since i would rather just watch and enjoy what i have the time for)
also while a cosplay contest seems like a good idea, anyone who isnt already realy into cosplay would be even more at a disadvantage then the non-art people with the drawing contests... i personaly dont have the time or ability to do a cosplay, and certinaly not for something that would have a few week deadline...
I'm new to this, but what about a scavenger hunt? make a list and the first person to print screen all items on list wins...and wins...er...I dunno...prizes or something?!?!?
Like a month membership...
Like a Nendoroid or two...
Free passes to the next AnimeCon...
A 5 day shopping trip in Tokyo...in cosplay...
( I liked that last one...^.^)
The real sword & shield are wit and personality. Sharpen one & Polish the other!
I think more pictures of Victoria would really add to the substance in these contests
I actually like the current system, I don't enter usually because I'm pressed for time but it's nice to scroll through the threads and see people's awesome works.
Something I would personally like to see thrown in the rotation is maybe a "Caption this picture" contest. Of course with rules and all that, but something that's good for a laugh can't be bad right?
That's the type of contest I could see myself having time for.
A Cure For Apathy
A questionnaire contest about shows on Crunchyroll sounds fun.

I'm happy the recent one have not been Facebook ones (I hate those). Sometimes just a random lottery of people who sign up here (pick a name out of the hat) is good sometimes. I am not saying to have that replace the contests but sometimes we are just not interested in trying to outdo someone drawing or singing or whatnot. Just a simple "enter by this date and random lottery". Easier not to screw up and to me seems more fair. Just a thought to add to the mix.
Also and this may sound strange.. but I want to know where to get some of the prizes.. like I've been looking for where to buy the karuta cards from Chihayafuru and I still can't find where you can purchase it. :(
They are out there. Expensive as hell, but they are out there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Chihayafuru-Ogura-Hyakunin-Isshu-Karuta-with-CD-One-Hundred-Waka-Poems-JPN-/190768687296?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6ab328c0
Check my cr points: They are OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!!!!!
I used to be apart of a judge team for a mmo game and there are endless possibilities for contests. Not all contests have to have BIG prizes either. You can do scavenger hunts, trivia, match the mod/admin with ____ and other simple stuff and just give out forum badges and say like a week free membership (you would be surprised how much people like the superfluous pretties). For the bigger contests you can do drawing, pixel art, writing, captions, cosplay, and maybe throw in a spam type event were lucky number blah blah blah wins something that way you cover everyone, the people with talent and the people who don't (like me). It is also good to be upfront about how the contest will be judged, put critera or say its what I think is pretty. It of course wont appease everyone but it cuts down on the hurt feelings.

— It used to be when someone spray-painted graffiti on your property, you broke out a paint roller to cover it up. But now you might be better off hiring an art appraiser. Recent works of art by the British graffiti artist known as Banksy have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars to celebrities like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Londons Tower Hamlets Council recently said that they had a duty to remove all graffiti in the area including anything done by Banksy. The public in Bristol recently voted over 90 percent in favor of keeping a piece of graffiti art by Banksy as it was deemed so popular. When does vandalism transcend to art? Is it just a fad? Does it need clever social commentary? What do you think?

by John Calvin (compiled by John H. Kromminga)
Bible Text:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. —John 3:16
"For God so loved the world." Christ opens up the first cause, and, as it were, the source of our salvation; and he does so, that no doubt may remain; for our minds cannot find calm repose until we arrive at the unmerited grace of God. As the whole matter of our salvation must not be sought anywhere else than in Christ, so we must see whence Christ came to us, and why he was offered to be our Savior.
Both points are distinctly stated to us; namely, that faith in Christ brings life to all, and that Christ brought life, because the Heavenly Father loves the human race, and wishes that they should not perish.
And this order ought to be carefully observed; for such is the wicked ambition which belongs to our nature, that when the question relates to the origin of our salvation, we quickly form diabolical imaginations about our own merit.
Accordingly, we imagine that God is reconciled to us, because he has reckoned us worthy that he should look upon us. But Scripture everywhere extols his pure and unmingled mercy, which sets aside all merits. —Commentaries
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

Venezuela's President-Elect Maduro Accuses US Of Sparking Post-Election Violence; Seven Dead, Over 60 Injured In Violence
Nicolas Maduro, a former bus driver who rose to become the late Hugo Chavez's protégé and now Venezuela's president-elect, has accused the U.S. of sparking postelection violence in the country, resulting in seven deaths and scores of injuries, the government said on Tuesday.
Maduro narrowly won Sunday's election, beating rival Henrique Capriles with 50.8 percent of the vote, compared to Capriles' 49 percent -- a difference of about 262,000 votes. In total, 14.9 million ballots were cast, Venezuela's National Electoral Commission said.
Maduro represents the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela. Capriles, governor of Miranda state and the candidate for the umbrella opposition group, Table for Democratic Unity, said he didn't accept the results and demanded a recount.
The U.S. State Department backed the opposition's demand, saying it wouldn't recognize Maduro's win without a recount. It was joined by the governments of Panama and Paraguay, the Associated Press reports.
There were sporadic clashes between police and opposition members in several provincial Venezuelan cities on Monday, while protesters in the capital Caracas set up several roadblocks.
Attorney General Luisa Ortega said the clashes left seven people dead, with more than 60 injured and 139 arrested. She noted that some offices had been set on fire and public property destroyed.
State media reported that two of those killed were shot while celebrating Maduro's victory in Caracas; one died in a government-run clinic in a central state, and two others were killed in an Andean border state.
In postelection public appearances, Maduro has harshly criticized his opponent, calling him "a fascist," "a murderer" and "coup plotter."
He also targeted Washington, saying the U.S. embassy in Caracas "financed and led" the street violence that followed the declaration of election results.
He said the government wouldn't be blackmailed and called on Venezuelans to remain peaceful.
"This is the responsibility of those who have called for violence, who have ignored the constitution and the institutions," Maduro said in a televised speech to the nation, carried by the BBC.
"Their plan is a coup d'etat," he added, while calling his own supporters onto the streets.
"If they want to overthrow me, come get me. With the people and the armed forces, I am here."
Capriles said the government was responsible for the violence as it sought to avoid a recount.
On Tuesday, he called off a previously announced rally of the National Electoral Council in Caracas, saying the opposition was ready "to open a dialogue with the government so that the crisis can be ended in the coming hours."
He claimed that Maduro's supporters were planning to infiltrate the march.
"Whoever goes out into the street tomorrow is playing the government's game," Capriles said. "The government wants there to be deaths in the country."

Symptoms of a sprain include:
Joint painor muscle pain Swelling
- Joint stiffness
- Discoloration of the skin, especially
First Aid
- Apply iceright awayto reduce swelling. Wrap the ice in cloth. Do not place ice directly on the skin.
- Wrap a bandage around the affected area to limit movement. Wrapfirmly, but not tightly. Use a
splintif needed.
- Keep the swollen joint raised above your heart, even while sleeping.
- Rest the affected joint for several days.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, or other pain relievers can help. DO NOT give aspirin to children.
Keep pressure off the injured area until the pain goes away. Most of the time, a mild sprain will heal in 7-10 days. It may take several weeks for pain to go away after a bad sprain.Yourhealth care providermay recommend

As a boy, Hugo Hamilton felt a strong desire to be rid of the confused identity he had inherited from his German mother and Irish father. Yet history's determined grip tightened its hold. A job at the harbor, rather than offering him respite, entangled him in a bitter feud between two fishermen—one Catholic, one Protestant. Against the background of the spiraling Troubles in the North, Hugo listened to the missing persons bulletins going out on the radio for his German cousin who mysteriously vanished somewhere on the west coast of Ireland and watched as the unfolding harbor duel moved toward a tragic end. '
From the author of The Speckled People, one of the most lyrical and affecting memoirs of recent times, comes a powerful, deeply moving, and well-observed account of a young man's determined struggles to place himself in a world of his own making.
