A widening conflict turning to war

The crisis in Lebanon gets worse and more terrifying. “Troops massing at the border,” real war imminent and the specter of something wider, something drawing in the rest of the
Arab world — possibly drawing in the United State, Europe. Perhaps I’m being paranoid, anxiety rising as I watch the news.

This photos from Reuters — which was posted on MSNBC — seems to sum up this dangerous conflict: the praying soldier (in this case, Israeli) in the shadow of a tank.

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
