    IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people with no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. Symptoms can include light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, momentary loss of awareness, and loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents, watch for or ask children about these symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely to experience these seizures. The risk may be reduced by being farther from the screen; using a smaller screen; playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when drowsy or fatigued. If you or any relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Thomas Rushmore (died c.1682), a Quaker, arrived on Long Island from Wales in 1658. He joined four Englishman and three Dutchmen in making an alliance for land with five Long Island Native American tribes. He married Martha Hicks in Hempstead, N.Y., in 1659 and started a dairy farm near the intersection of Old Westbury Road and Whitney Lane in Old Westbury, N.Y. Five subsequent generations of Rushmores went on to run the farm at this location. They intermarried with members of some of Long Island’s most notable families, including the Townsend, Hicks, Titus, Valentine, Post, Willets, and Willits families. When the Long Island Rail Road branched out to Oyster Bay, N.Y., the Rushmores decided to sell the Old Westbury farm and buy land closer to the railroad. (This would make it easier for them to ship their product to market.) In 1845, Thomas Rushmore (1799-1878) and Jane (Valentine) Rushmore (1806-1896) bought 150 acres of land in Roslyn, N.Y.
