How do I rinse sand?

[partsrep]

I just bought some Carib-Sea African Cichlid Mix, Sahara Sand. Do I need to rinse this before I put it in the tank and if I do how would I rinse it without it spilling through a strainer or colander?

we've recently discussed rinsing sand and gravel as many of us are now opposed to aquarium gravel that they try to sell us for $5 a bag in the LFS. Here is one, and there is another i'm still looking for:
