From the jacketflap:The town of Hebb in southeastern Montana doesn't know what hit it when Loreen Bright Weasel arrives to perform good deeds. She takes up residence as a maid for Winn and Sheep Triumph and proceeds to shake up the sleepy little town. Loreen's sights are set on sainthood.Sheep decides to run for mayor on a one-plank platform: He will close down the brothel owned by his first wife, Marlyss. He ignores the anxieties of his constituents - the gas shortage, nuclear leaks, and international disarmament - in his determination to destroy the brothel.Meanwhile, Loreen is finding sainthood difficult. All hell breaks loose when she performs her unwanted good deeds and "Corporate Works of Mercy"; whites and Indians alike are transformed by her un-asked-for miracles. And - to make her quest nearly impossible - she discovers that she's pregnant.Loreen is determined to perform a miracle for Sheep, who'd been deeply hurt by Marlyss. In the process, Loreen hopes to win the grace of God. The conclusion will surprise you, if you can stop laughing long enough to let it.Loreen is resting for the time being. But your town may be next. God is holding her in readiness for another onslaught, and she could burst forth once again like a blasting bomb of glory on the sinful, pining, all-unready world.

Preferential Emergency Communications: From Telecommunications to the Internet, a professional monograph, is divided into three sections. The first describes systems and protocols that have been deployed as private networks for use by government agencies like the U.S. Department of Defense. This section also presents an in-depth discussion on MLPP. We then present current work in the area of Land Mobile Radio, commonly used by local emergency personnel such as police and fireman. This second section also describes systems that have been deployed over the public switched telephone network. Finally, the third section presents insights on trying to support emergency communications over TCP/IP networks and the Internet. In this last item we look into what IETF protocols can be considered candidates for change, as well as those protocols and applications that should not be altered.
