A brown and white female Pitbull, aged approximately two years old, smiles endlessly despite her uncertain future. She sits at animal control, greeting the staff and volunteers who walk by with an enthusiastic grin and excited tail wag. When they turn their attention to her, she stands up on her two hind legs and dances prettily, winning everyone over with her endearing friendliness.
The staff at animal control see and experience so much sadness day to day. They try not to become attached to their charges, knowing each animal has a dubious fate. But this happy, dancing Pittie girl has won over every single person who has come into contact with her. To the surprise of many volunteers, the staff have bestowed upon the adorable canine a fitting moniker: Smiley.
Smiley was found as a stray in the Atlanta, Georgia area wearing a pink collar. Incomprehensibly, no one ever came forward to claim the vibrant girl.
Two small Atlanta-area rescues want to save Smiley, and she has $350 dollars in pledges so far from supporters. But a rescue cannot take Smiley until she has a committed foster home.
Won't you give this girl a chance? Won't you help save a life? As you may know, animal control cannot keep the animals forever; eventually, the ones who have been there a while must be put to sleep to make room for new incoming animals. It's a very sad cycle, but you can help change that.
Smiley has until 3:30PM on Monday, April 28, 2014, to find a committed foster so that she can be pulled by the rescues interested. Her "red line" date, as they call it, has already been postponed once, in hopes that she would win over the hearts of those who could help. Monday will be her last day on this earth if a foster can't be found. A sweet, vivacious life will be lost.
Please share Smiley's story, and help her find a foster home. She is only available to rescue at this time, and she has rescue interest - she just needs a foster home. Fostering is hugely rewarding, and the rescue you foster for pays for everything - sometimes even the food. All you need to give is your love.
Those interested can contact the author, who will forward on the offer of foster, or, you may contact animal control volunteer Lynda at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please be kind and courteous; while the situation is urgent, a respectful approach must still be taken.

When you're down and out, or at least down for the count, what do you do? Think about it for a moment. Everyone's been there. What do you do when it's not coming up roses? How do you show your sadness, anger, your fear?
As a society we have not done a good job of preparing ourselves for the bad times. We spend hours practicing the right way to throw a baseball, swing a golf club, and stay straight on a balance beam. Yet, how many of us set time aside to simulate a job loss or the failure of a key project? We could learn so much by some resourcefulness training where we could take frightening situations and play out worst case scenarios and notice how we would respond. They do that to plan for trips to the moon. Why not for trips to the office?
Why put a damper on the day? Well maybe it's the other way around, the day may well put a damper on us. Without knowing what to do when our fear and sadness buttons are pushed, we often revert back to childhood patterns of response and never find grown up ways of handling what is in front of us.
In my book, "Don't Bring It to Work" there are 13 patterns that are prevalent in every workplace in the world. They are the patterns of behavior we learned when we were still in diapers and perfected as our baby teeth gave way to molars and wisdom teeth. They became so much a part of us we stopped knowing what we were doing, it is what is called becoming unconsciously competent.
Think of it this way. Remember when you learned to tie your shoes. There were lots of funny hand gestures to get the darn laces to become bows that would link together. Remember how good it felt when you could tie your shoes without even thinking about it? That is you becoming competent at an unconscious level so you don't even have to think about it.
Same thing as you learned to play your role in your family. Someone becomes the super achiever to make the family proud. Someone else becomes the rebel who is there to stand for right and justice if the family was ever put upon by those who stood for polarization and exclusion. Then there are the procrastinators who learned to play it safe and not get work finished because of fear of failure. Some of us became pleasers, afraid to say no or take a stand, and then there are the avoiders who run from conflict like a rabbit with a tiger after it.
Leaders are in a difficult position when it comes to the downside of the work day. Leaders are meant to be strong, competent, available, reliable, and fearless. So, as one CEO of a company told me, he was so ashamed that the project he had spearheaded had failed miserably and put the company at risk he had lunch delivered to his office so he would not have to face any of his staff in the cafeteria. His voice became a whisper when he said he would cry into his pillow at night to muffle the sounds so his wife would not hear him.
And a woman entrepreneur who had won award after award for her creativity in the hospitality industry mused "How would all my colleagues handle the fact that I have screaming arguments with my husband as a stress reducer when all he often says is "Here is how I would handle the situation".
So here are some tactics to help you get through the dark times:
- Find a talking partner and verbalize your fears. It will make them seem either smaller or less intense once you can talk about them. That is the truth. Once said it stops the amygdale, the older part of the brain where fear is registered from moving you into fight, flight, or freeze.
- Get a journal and write out the worst case scenarios. Then take the pieces of paper and throw them away, tear them up, crumple them, or get a bowl and burn them. This simple ritual helps you make more room in your brain for creative solutions to occur.
- Practice deep breathing at least three times a day: The 7/ 7/ 7/ 7 method where you breathe in through your nose to the count of 7; hold your breath to put more oxygen in your system to the count of 7; breathe out through your mouth to the count of 7; hold your breath to empty to the count of 7 and do this 7 times.
- Visualize yourself as a tall tree with roots deep into the ground. That will give you a sense of steadiness so that when the winds blow and the rains pound you will stay strong and rooted. Don't believe this works, put your arms out in front of you and ask someone to push your arms down. I bet you will be stronger when you are visualizing the tree image than when you are just standing there.
- Here are some quotations to put in your office or as refrigerator art: "Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be"; "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, character is what you really are". They help keep you centered.
In the eastern philosophies they talk about "feeding the hungry ghost". That means putting lots of energy into what in our "Total Leadership Connections TM" program we call the "Knots" that tie us up as in "am not, cannot, have not, will not, and not like me". Remember, most of our greatest learning comes from the tough times rather than sitting around a swimming pool sipping margaritas. So, talk, write, breathe, visualize, quote, you will be more prepared to handle what lies in front of you with more verve and style and be the type of leader you would want to hand around with in the good times.

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha whitewashes St. Cloud State, 3-0
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska-Omaha's bid to stay in contention for an at-large spot in the upcoming NCAA tournament appeared back on course Friday, where the No. 18 Mavericks brushed aside St. Cloud State 3-0 at Qwest Center.
Three UNO goals over a 1:41 span in the game's second period proved enough to see the Mavericks (15-10-2 overall, 11-6-2 in the WCHA) through, and sophomore goaltender John Faulkner added to his school-record tally of shutouts on the season, making 33 saves en route to his sixth whitewashing of the campaign.
The Mavericks had experienced a severe blow to their postseason aspirations last weekend, splitting a non-conference series with Alabama-Huntsville after dropping a 2-1 decision to the Chargers last Saturday. Whereas UNO's potent offense fired 59 shots on goal in that loss and only scored once in that game, though, the Maverick strike force made sure to capitalize on its chances when SCSU came calling on Friday.
Friday's affair was a close-run thing early on, with the Huskies (11-13-3, 7-10-2) perhaps enjoying the better scoring opportunities if only just, outshooting the host side 12-7 in the weekend's opening stanza. UNO weathered SCSU's advances in the first 20 minutes, though, and the Mavericks' quick outburst in the second period took any and all wind out of the visitors' sails.
The first goal, coming 3:22 into Friday's middle frame, came on the back of a fortunate bounce that went UNO's way. An initial shot from Maverick forward Joey Martin was blocked by SCSU defenseman Brett Barta, but Martin's linemate Rich Purslow picked up the loose puck low at the right point before centering to defenseman Eric Olimb, who beat Husky goaltender Mike Lee for the senior's second goal of the season.
Just 1:15 later, UNO struck again, this time through a wonder goal from freshman forward Brock Montpetit. His eighth goal of the campaign, it came about after Montpetit danced through two SCSU defensemen in the Husky slot before beating Lee high near-side into a small patch of open net above the goaltender's left shoulder.
The Mavericks extended their lead even further 26 seconds later, with senior forward Matt Ambroz netting his 14th goal of the season on a tally similar to Olimb's, who himself provided an assist on UNO's third goal of the night.
"It all happened so fast," Ambroz said of the Mavericks' second-period outburst. "Three shifts in a row, bing-bing-bing, and we're up three-rip, and then we had to bear down and maintain the lead.
"We couldn't (afford to) have letdowns, and Faulkner played great in the nets and kept it at 3-0."
Indeed, the three goals scored at the other end were more than enough, with Faulkner keeping his clean sheet the rest of the way. UNO got solid defensive performances from its lines playing in front of their goaltender, but where the Maverick skaters couldn't stop SCSU from getting shots on net, Faulkner made sure none went in.
"Faulkner was the difference in the game," UNO head coach Dean Blais said after the game. "I thought Mike Lee played well, too, but he got victimized a few times on bad bounces, and we had a few bounces tonight that we never got last Saturday."
SCSU head coach Bob Motzko also praised Faulkner after Friday's game, but he knew that, perhaps as much as anything, it was UNO's quick trio of goals in the second period that did the Huskies in.
"That minute and a half where we fell asleep was the game," Motzko said. "We made three blunderous mistakes in the netural zone, but outside of that, I thought we played a pretty good hockey game tonight. We couldn't solve their goalie, but we had plenty of opportunities.
"(Faulkner) sure was good tonight. We got him moving laterally a handful of times and got some odd-man rushes, but he was seeing the puck tonight and was awful strong in his net."
The two teams meet again on Saturday in Omaha to round out their four-game season series.

Is there a modern word for "hippie"? If there isn't yet, a good start might be "Ned", after the title character in Our Idiot Brother – an organic (sorry, bio-dynamic) farmer who embraces the world, names his beloved dog "Willie Nelson", and when frustrated can only muster enough violence to say stuff like "Geez, Louise!" Conservative people usually avoid Neds, but it's almost impossible not to like this one, and you might very well say the same about the movie.
Ned (Paul Rudd) isn't necessarily idiotic; he's just too open and trusting for his own good. Granted, he does sell pot to a uniformed police officer in the opening scene, but it's clear the cop manipulates Ned by taking advantage of his nature. Rudd plays these first bits so well that, even knowing the havoc he's about to cause to the members of his family, it's hard not to smile when you see him coming.
Released from jail, Ned is kicked out by his girlfriend (who keeps the dog), and ends up bouncing around between his three sisters. This is an incredibly close family for people so diverse: Liz (Emily Mortimer) is a mousy housewife who's lost the attention of her documentary filmmaker husband (Steve Coogan), Miranda (Elizabeth Banks) is a magazine writer trying to move up the ladder at Vanity Fair, and Natalie (Zooey Deschanel) is a bisexual amateur stand-up comic with commitment issues. They all love Ned, but their efforts to help him inevitably bring about complications.
This is mostly because they are all lying to themselves in some way. The script, by David Schisgall and Evgenia Peretz, excels at showing us the counterpoints between these characters. As crazy and unfamiliar as Ned's lifestyle seems, we begin to see that it's the "normal" people who have the problems. As they each exploit Ned for their own reasons, the sisters' lives are upended when his openness exposes their secrets. We know this is for the best, but we're not sure how it will all work out.
It's also great the way director Jesse Peretz plays with the notion of just who these people are. At a party, Ned attracts a young couple who want him to join them in the bedroom. You'd think he'd be cool with that, being a free love kind of guy, but he can't go through with it. Then watching him agonize with guilt afterwards is very real and very funny.
The performances are all terrific – even minor characters that exist solely for comic relief or to move the plot forward manage to make an impact. The moment when Ned finally loses his temper drops like a bomb, and could be one of the most effectively played scenes in a movie this summer.
It won't be for everyone, but Our Idiot Brother is a fantastic alternative to the loud, empty blockbusters we've had dropped on us recently. Just like Ned, it has a good heart, and who can say no to that?

So you're not in the mood for cool jazz or le jazz hot. Try something icy cold. The eerie album It's OK to Listen to the Gray Voice ($19), from the Jan Garbarek Group, takes its title and every track name from the work of Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer. (Our favorite track is "It's OK to phone the island that is a mirage".) We can't see playing this at a party, but it's entrancing, definitely gray, and ideal for times when you need to sit and think slowly. Yeah, yeah, dancing about architecture. We know. Amazon has sound samples.

After a care plan has been established by a highly trained neurologist, determining capabilities is the next step after diagnosis in order to establish a treatment plan. Symptoms of memory loss occurs depending upon which section(s) of the brain is involved. In early stages, only one area may be damaged. In some cases, interrelated sections or lobes may be damaged.
The caregiver must understand that the person with dementia is not being obstinate or frustrated out of choice. The brain dysfunction is ruling actions and reactions.
Verbal interaction for persons with dementia
Become familiar with the person's level of understanding, independence and stage of dementia in order to better communicate.
Because the Frontal Lobe behind the brain or other interactive lobes may be damaged, a person with dementia may be un-cooperative, rude or even combative.
- Caregivers should not take any words, actions or reactions personally.
- When a demented person makes a negative statement of frustration or hopelessness, the caregiver should reply with a paraphrase positively to affirm that the person's feelings are being heard.
- Don't give answers as advice or lecture the person in any way. Give short suggestions that might help and remember that the person may reject all alternatives. However, later the person may take the advice, if it is remembered.
- Speak slowly, simply, calmly and succinctly and refrain from using too many words.
- Speak directly to the person. Make eye contact when possible.
- When other people are in the room, involve the dementia person in the conversation.
It's best not to tell the person what to do, but to suggest or ask. Questions would be structured, depending on the level of understanding.
Example: For later stages of dementia. "Susan, it's time for a bath."
For mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those with understanding and desire for independence. it may be better to ask questions. "Thomas, would you feel refreshed if you had your bath now?" "Mary, I'm here to assist you with your bath." "How do you feel about your bath today?" Give them choices (but not too many) as to whether they want to have a bed bath, sit on a stool for a sponge bath, have a shower or tub bath.
Of course, all options depend on the person's capabilities and mood for the day. It is also a good idea to establish with the MCI person a day or so before first event of care, such as bathing, the best time of day and the preference of type of bath, etc.
For those more impaired, don't be surprised if the person says "no". This may be to establish independence or it could be that the responsible brain area is thinking in the reverse. "No", may mean "Yes." Continue to prepare the bath water and reword the question. "Your bath water is ready."
Personal activities of daily living should be done in a safe and unhurried manner. Time for people with dementia is slow paced and hurry frustrates them.
Social interactions for persons with dementia
Remember that the person with dementia diseases need space and are confused by too much chatter and noise. Too many people in the home can be frustrating and cause confusion. Sudden actions, fast movements or taking care of the person in a fast pace can set off anxiety and adverse reactions.
Outings should be limited to quiet parks or other peaceful places where the person can feel relaxed and comfortable. This may mean that family gatherings should be avoided if there are too many children or if there are boisterous activities.
Alzheimzer's Association, The Michigan Great Lakes Chapter will be promoting and raising funds for research of dementia diseases with the Walk to End Alzheimer's, Sunday, October 2, 2011. Registration and the start of the walk is at the Celery Flats Interpretive Center and Historical Area, 7335 Garden Lane, Portage Michigan. Registration is at 12:00 p.m. and the walk starts at 1:30 p.m.

There is a mount point at /mnt/mountname and it goes to a large SAN with lots of storage but it's mounted as a read-only filesystem. I want to add a mount point with a different name that's read-write. I've looked in /etc/fstab and /etc/vfstab (which doesn't exist) and there is nothing there that mentions /mnt/mountname. Where else can I look?
The mount mounts are defined at /etc/fstab however the file system mounted at /mnt/mountname may have been mounted "by hand" or something may have mounted it after the system started. IE, someone may have have just typed the following in the terminal to mount it:
If you want to add /mnt/mountname to /etc/fstab and/or want to use it as a template for the new one you're adding, you can run the following to show you what the line in /etc/fstab should look like:
If that doesn't work, try 'cat /proc/mounts'.

Destination Salem Blog
Scharf Mural Adorns Garage
Internationally acclaimed pop artist Kenny Scharf was in Salem last week to paint a mural on the Museum Place Garage. The mural, which wraps around the corner of the building at Brown and New Liberty Streets, features a very happy crew of creatures with any number of eyes. I checked on the mural's progress several times on Monday and Tuesday, and watching the progression from one "Halloween orange" creature (he reminded me of one of the ghosts in Casper) to many creatures with necks and tongues and eyes and teeth (the blue one with one tooth is one of my favorites) was fascinating.
Public art became a part of the fabric of Salem last summer when we had temporary sculpture installations. We look forward to new sculptures this summer, to the downtown Artbox art program (launching during the Arts Festival), the installation of the Lady of Salem sculptures, and the Salem Arts Festival during the first weekend in June.
Public art is a great addition to downtown Salem. Whether you see it as a conversation piece, a resting place, or a work of art, come downtown and see it all this summer.

U.S. Military Encirclement of Iran
Iran is, and has been for many years, surrounded by US Military installations. We talk about the U.S. strategy to encircle China, but you rarely hear about the way in which Iran is, and has been encircled by U.S. military bases for many years. When they you hear that Iran is a threat to the United States, you picture a us, here in the U.S. as potential victims. When you hear the term 'containment' in relation to Iran, you think, perhaps, that something needs to be done. After all, we have bases and military trainers and other military representatives in dangerous countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq. But wait, if those countries have bases, isn't Iran pretty well contained?
Here is a map of Iran, showing the surrounding U,S. bases around 2008. Click on the image below to open a dynamic version of the map, where you can zoom in for a better look, and a key to the various symbols and the names of the bases. Base names and locations from GlobalSecurity.org. If you zoom in really close on most of the air bases, you can see the runway.
U.S. Military Bases surrounding Iran, 2008
Now, a new military initiative is rapidly being deployed across the Middle East, Southwest Asia and Africa, around the world, and even here on the U.S. mainland. New bases are being built and old ones converted to host Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAV); recently re-designated as Remote Piloted Aircraft (RPA); commonly referred to as Drones. The largest and most used in the region at this time are named Predator and Reaper. The MQ9 Reaper can carry several Hellfire Missiles and laser guided 500 lb. bombs. These Drones fly so high that they can virtually hover over a target for hours, piloted by a computer operator from his office or home here in the U.S,. Unfortunately, misinterpretation of evidence based on cultural discrepancies, pilot impatience, inaccurate target identification before the Drone is called and other similar issues make civilian casualties in the context of Drone strikes a regular occurrence. The image below shows some of the sites known to be used for drone bases.
Click on the image, and you will open a dynamic map.
Bases in Africa and SW Asia with Drones
When I introduce people to the use of these vehicles (I'm going to call them Drones) in Afghanistan, I often point out that "The Taliban Have no drones. They have no airplanes. They have no helicopters. They have few, if any, tanks. The enemy are riding in the back of pickup trucks, armed with kalashnikovs, and an occasional shoulder mounted antiaircraft gun. That's the enemy in Afghanistan, and so far, in Pakistan as well. But, if we were to go to war with Iran, though it's true they aren't well armed by our standards, they would have some resources to fight back. Drones could hurt them, but killing people 1, 2, 3 ….. even 10 at a time would be slow going there. But, what difference does it make? None of the 'enemies' of the so called 'War on Terror' are intimidated by Drones. Bottom line, only the civilian population is 'terrorized' by these weapons. Women and children are killed while sleeping in their beds, walking or driving down the road, maybe in the company of a selected target, maybe not.
Drones are already keeping Iran and the surrounding region under surveillance. Iran clearly isn't the only country under threat. The social and physical infrastructures of Iraq and Libya have been destroyed. American Drones were used in both wars, but were especially lethal in Libya. Lebanon has only recently come out of civil war, and even now the international executioner's axe is raised over the Hezbollah leadership, leaders of the strongest and most popular party of the majority Shia population in Lebanon. Iran is criticized in the U.S. for their support of Hezbollah, but Hezbollah, oft accused of heinous acts of terrorism, is a product of the Israeli occupation of Lebanon, and has not had a military operation unrelated to a war. Clearly they are a good friend to have, given today's news from Ha'aretz, which said that Hezbollah had identified and broken a major CIA spy ring with operatives in both Lebanon and Iran.
The countryside of Afghanistan is no longer safe for civilian residents, and Pakistan is in chaos, with military and civilian forces continually pitted against one another and against the people who brought them to power. Iran has a substantial narcotics problem, with most of the drugs coming from Afghanistan or through Pakistan. Iran's ally, Syria, is collapsing into civil war as a peaceful protest movement was seeded with insurgent gunmen, armed by international forces to lure the government into an unwinnable battle. Meanwhile those same international forces insist that the protestors should not negotiate with the government, still supported by the overwhelming majority of the military and more than half the population. Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama tell Asad to step down or end the violence immediately, knowing full well that their allies are maintaining the armed insurgency in his country.
The people of the Middle East are right to be dissatisfied with the status quo. However, 'democracy' is more than making demands and expecting them to be instantly fulfilled. It is more than just casting a vote, as we in the U.S. should know. Democracy is about taking responsibility for your government and finding a way to engage with it to make a better society for everyone. This is not a task that can be accomplished by civil war. Nor can it be achieved by the intervention of the international power clique, or self serving meddling by one's neighbors. War does not equal peace.
What is Iran's role here? Iran has been in the bullseye for many years. They stand up for Palestinians, the Shia underclasses and they are central players in what I used to call in high school, 'the out crowd'. But, Iran has not intervened militarily in it's neighbor's affairs. Iran's cardinal crime is independence. Whatever their failings, the post revolutionary Islamic regime has taken back their resources, and managed them responsibly. They have made education, public services like potable water and sanitation, and most recently, local elections of local representatives a reality. They brought these services to the masses, and to remote villages. They have made both popular and unpopular decisions and, they have actively suppressed dissent, like most of the governments in the region.
As a peacemaker, I am very disturbed by the United States' proliferation of military bases and high tech weaponry in a fragile and largely underdeveloped part of the world. Most of the bases in Iraq have been, or are being turned over to the Iraqi government. However, many were left over from Saddam Hussein's time when we took them over in the first place. Many bases in the surrounding countries were used during the first Gulf War. We don't own the bases we use in Pakistan. We just use them. So, don't be fooled by the fact that we are taking troops out of Iraq into thinking they would have nowhere to go should we decide to return them. And, we have the drones in place. The drones create an electronic occupation. We can operate them off of other countries bases as we do in Pakistan.
We accuse Iran of inciting proliferation, while we are selling surveillance drones, armed drones and F-16 Jets (or something similar) and Apache helicopters to Israel, Qatar, The Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Turkey and who knows who else. We are flying our own drones out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. With U.S. assistance and approval, Israel was the original lab for drone research. China and Russia, India and Pakistan, and many others are building their own fleets of drones. The NATO crowd appears to be planning on buying ours. Even Iran has built some small surveillance drones. Drones don't win wars, they perpetuate them. If you look at the picture, it is evident that the bases that support drones encircle Iran as surely as the bases associated with recent U.S. interventions in the name of the War on Terror.
Iran is, and has been encircled with U.S. forces for at least 20 years. We and our ally, Israel, have spies and provocateurs inside Iran. What is the point? There is talk about encircling Russia and China. Whether or not one agrees with the strategy, it is clear that China and Russia together are powerful adversaries, and, if I may be so bold, might be powerful friends. They have the capacity to seriously threaten our interests. Iran, on the other hand, has the resources to be a good friend, the ability to withstand a physical or economic siege indefinitely, but not the capacity to be more than a persistent irritant.
The U.S. vendetta against Iran is a reflection of the true nature of U.S. aggression and drive for hegemony. An ancient country, recently much beleaguered by Western colonial projects, the people of Iran are sophisticated, experienced for better or worse, with Western culture, and tired of being manipulated and ripped off. Iran's current leadership is the result of a revolution against 100 years of colonial 'occupation'. Iran has been the center of more than one empire. It's current leadership is ready to defend the integrity of their country, and to form close alliances with compatible regional entities. We say they are meddling. Iran's nuclear program, popular with all constituencies within the country, is a defiant statement that they are a player, and their chips are in the game.
There are those who see Iran as a defiant upstart, but it would be equally true to say that Iran is an ancient entity, with a level of internal social integration, of integrity, that is unique in the region. Iran's determination to regain her lost dignity has blossomed from the ashes of a chattel nation ruled by an impotent potentate whose best effort to regain the glory of the past involved building a gaudy, Hollywood style replica of ancient structures in a country where the real artificacts of that culture stand proudly among the modern cities and oil refineries. However one may feel about the theological bent of the Islamic regime, they have made a serious effort to form a uniquely Iranian government, with many of the principles of a progressive society embedded in the construct, if not fully materialized.
From the day this regime took power, Iran has been under attack. How it would have developed in a more benevolent context, we will never know. The colonial masters have determined that the Islamic regime should fall from the day it emerged. I don't want to defend any of the violations of human rights or violent suppressions of free speech that we have all heard about, or even to say that they didn't occur. It remains that, in Iran, a lively intellectual discussion about what an Islamic Republic might look like, and whether it could exist at all has taken place over the last 30 years. Governments and leaders who supported the values of freedom of speech and democratic processes that the United States professes so vigorously, have been routinely, rigorously, coldly undermined by the United States.
So now, today, we are talking about bombing Iran. Iran is the greatest threat on earth, we are told. This is clearly absurd. We have sold Iranian neighbor states Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, tiny Kuwait and smaller Qatar a level of armaments that Iran can only, in today's market, dream of. Israel, a country that has held the entire Arab world hostage for 60 years through the occupation of Palestine has more Nukes than the France. We give Israel three billion dollars a year in aid to make sure that arsenal continues to grow. China and India have huge populations, and divergent interests from those of the United States, yet we regularly train and employ their scientists. Both have nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Pakistan, a third world country that acquired nukes on the sly, ever locked in political standoffs both internally and externally, receives a steady flow of weapons and military aid from the U.S. And of course, our old adversary, Russia, still has as much nuclear capability than we do. China as a few nukes and owns a big wad of our economy.
Iran has the capability to reintegrate a large swathe of the Middle East through trade, mutual assistance and cooperation. This would be devastating for the United States. We would no long have control, and our allies would no longer be dominant in the region. It might, however, be a great boon to the people of the region. Perhaps the Islamic regime would overplay its hand. But maybe they would, as so many nations on the brink of democracy have done, moderate and liberalize, just as, while under threat, they become more rigid and conservative every day. And, there are counterbalancing forces in play. Perhaps, instead of arming our allies to the teeth, we might consider encouraging them with more productive kinds of projects. Or maybe we should leave them alone to work out their differences. Unfortunately, we have already sold them more arms than they know what to do with.
As a peace activist, and a believer in the power of reconciliation and diplomacy, I am dismayed by the current policies of the United States towards Iran. As an individual who believes that love and peace are mutually reinforcing, I believe that we all have to reject the manufactured threats and magnified accusations directed at Iran, and look at the country and it's people with an open mind. We have to balance our vision of the failures of the Islamic government with an awareness of their not insignificant successes. We have to look at the people and the culture that produced it, to see that they are capable of managing their own affairs. No, we can't fix all their problems. But we can begin to know one another. In that knowing is the end of war.

Picketwire Players report the distinct possibility of 21st century record audiences for this week's Thursday-Friday-Saturday performances of "Christmas Miracles." This has raised concern about how to best handle record crowds in Picketwire Center's relatively small lobby. Folks with paid-for tickets in hand won't be the problem. They can be accommodated quickly between 7 p.m. when auditorium doors open and 7:30 p.m. when the Christmas bells begin ringing. It's the number of reserved-in-advance tickets still to be paid for, plus walk-ins that experience says will show up in the final hour, that could result in a lobby traffic jam. Picketwire Players tradition says the show must go on as scheduled at 7:30. Tickets reserved by phone will be held at the "Will Call" table at the right (north) side of the lobby. Correct change ($12/ticket) or check (payable to Picketwire Players) made out in advance would be a help. Table will be manned and ready by 6 p.m. Walk-ins will need to select and pay for tickets at the box office window at the left (south side) of the lobby. Up-to-date chart showing available seat locations will be available at the window. Box office will open Thursday-Friday-Saturday at 5 p.m. Best solution to miss the predicted 7-7:30 "rush hour" would be stopping by Picketwire Center earlier in the evening. "Christmas Miracles" promises to be a fast-paced two and one-half hour production, one intermission, with 20 holiday musical numbers. Questions about ticket availability and/or pickup should be directed to Picketwire Center box office (382-8320).

The SaaS Paradox
By milan.thanawala on Feb 01, 2008
One of the interesting questions that was asked at an event recently was whether the slowdown in the US economy would have an impact slowdown SaaS' momentum. Its an interesting paradox whether something that reduces customer spending up front, may in fact be impacted by the reduced customer spending.
The arguments for a SaaS slowdown were cited as a general slowdown in tech spending, and a cut back in Marketing and other "non-essential" budgets that typically spend on SaaS applications.
The arguments against a SaaS slowdown were that SaaS apps are no longer "discretionary", they are mainstream apps that have a tangible ROI & benefit for the customer. If anything, customers demand a higher return on their tech investment in a slowdown, and with SaaS, one can see the benefits of technology investments much more clearly & quickly than in a traditional technology spend. The slowdown according to some, might actually make SaaS more mainstream as customers focus on their core businesses, reduce their capital spend, while keeping their operational expenses in check.
Whether SaaS will be impacted by a slowdown or not is something that time will tell, however ts clear that SaaS is here to stay, and is certainly not going away.

Gateshead 3-0 Hebburn Town
A Jon Shaw brace and a first goal of the season from Nathan Fisher saw Gateshead progress to the 1st round of the FA Cup for the third consecutive season.
Hebburn Town, the lowest ranked club left in the competition, held Ian Bogie's men in the first half but conceded three after the break.
The first North East derby between the two clubs attracted a four figure crowd, bigger than expected, and the underdogs produced an heroic first half display.
Once their defence had been breached by goal-a-game Shaw, however, the Heed peppered the Town goal and should have won by a greater margin.
The stats proved the point. Gateshead had 25 attempts at goal to Hebburn's three, all off target, and won the corner count 12-1.
Hebburn, playing five in midfield, frustrated Gateshead in the first half and fully deserved to reach the interval on level terms.
Gateshead's approach play lacked tempo and urgency with central defender James Curtis the closest to breaking the deadlock.
Curtis's bullet near post header from Martin Brittain's 21st minute corner was blocked on the line by Stephen Forster while Dan Regan made a good save from another Curtis header.
Hebburn's only shot at goal in the first period saw Dean Nicholson fire well over the bar from distance early on.
Sam Rents, playing in a more advanced role on the left, twice fired over the bar and Chris Carruthers' inviting cross missed both Shaw and Yemi Odubade.
Odubade, set up by Kris Gate, had a great chance to break the deadlock three minutes from the break but dragged his shot well wide.
Gateshead had dominated possession against a side five league's below them but it was a gutsy Hebburn who took the plaudits at half-time.
The one-way traffic continued after the break and any thoughts of a cup shock disappeared when the predatory Shaw struck twice in eight minutes.
Craig Baxter, a late replacement for Eddie Odhiambo who was injured in the warm up, swung over a 53rd minute cross into the heart of the Town box.
Shaw got in front of his marker to power a close range header into the net and he then made it two after Odubade had shot just wide.
Brittain's cross saw Shaw in space inside the box. His first shot was saved by Regan but the striker knocked home the rebound for his 18th goal of the season.
Hebburn forced their only corner in the 62nd minute and Paul Gardiner had a half chance but snatched at his shot and sliced wide.
Gate then found Odubade whose shot from the edge of the box grazed the outside of the post.
Substitute Fisher added a third midway through the half when Brittain pulled a corner back for the striker to curl a beauty into the far corner.
Fisher had another shot deflected over and Odubade had another good opening from Baxter's pass but his shot was blocked by Forster.
Hebburn had an opportunity to gain a consolation goal two minutes from time when Chris Lunn found Dean Nicholson whose angled shot was just the wrong side of the far post.
Fisher then had a 22-yard shot saved and Shaw almost grabbed his third hat-trick of the season only to shoot wide of the far post.
It was job done for the Tynesiders against a Hebburn Town side that did the STL Northern League 2nd division credit.

($100.00 Value)
The most important thing you can do before bed is prepare to plump your pout, with the exciting new addition to the LipFusion family, LipFusion XL - 2X Micro-Injected Collagen + HA Advanced Lip Plumping Therapy. Swipe on and wake up to the most intensely plump, firm, hydrated, and full-out sexy lips you've ever known - naturally - and all in a night's sleep.
LipFusion XL is a non-injectable lip volumizing therapy that combines two times the pure active collagen of LipFusion's original plumpers with hyaluronic acid (HA), in one high-performance topical nighttime treatment. It transforms the unique micro-injected collagen technology into the most advanced plumping power found in a lip treatment.
Designed to work in synergy with the body's natural water, lips get optimal lip enhancement from two intense naturally-occurring fillers in one powerful, pout-perfecting formulation: Patented dehydrated marine collagen-filling spheres? penetrate skin's surface on contact, then seek out body's natural water, and rehydrate to instantly plump and smooth lips.
As we age, the amount of HA produced in the skin is significantly reduced. Patented dehydrated hyaluronic acid-filling spheres? have a remarkable, sponge-like absorbency that captures the body's natural water, causing spheres to swell a dramatic 50 times larger for maximum hydration and long term plumping effects. Once LipFusion XL is applied, lips swell continually for hours to visibly "fill" lines, boost volume, and keep lips lusciously moist. Plumped pouts look and feel fuller, smoother, and full on sexier.
Directions: For maximum results use LipFusion XL as a nighttime treatment. Apply to clean, dry lips. LipFusion XL can also be worn during the day in combination with other favorite LipFusion products. LipFusion XL has a refreshing spearmint flavor.

Dear Tom and Ray,
Right after we spoke on Car Talk, Mount Redoubt here in Alaska blew its stack in the largest eruption we have seen thus far with an ash plume that went to 65,000 feet. I just put new panty hose on the Subaru and I sealed the doors and windows of my little log cabin so I am ready for the ash cloud, which is headed this way. It appears as a dark bluish band on the horizon and the radio reports we are on ash alert until late this afternoon. I think this is the 14th eruption to date and the volcanologists at the Alaska Volcano Observatory (check out their website with its cameras and seismometers showing real time images and readings) are fairly confident that the eruptions will continue for some months. This is because magma has reached the surface and the dome-building phase has begun. That cycle works more or less as follows: a magma dome builds up and plugs the vent, the pressure builds within the volcano, the dome collapses and an eruption begins. Then the process keeps repeating until the volcano gets bored or something scientific like that.
Your long time fan,
Bill Vogel

Eating to Live on the Outside: Bennigan's
If you've been reading previous installments you know I tend to order chicken or fish dishes, after all I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian. On the average I only eat animal products once a week and it's either chicken, turkey, or low contamination fish. I'm sure every Eat to Liver approaches this issue differently.
Okay, the first menu item to peak my interest is the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich. Why? For two reasons, first it comes with guacamole (as I've mentioned in the past I have an avocado fetish) and second you can order it on a wheat bun (certainly better than a refined white bun). Unfortunately the sandwich isn't all smiles. I'm ditching the mayonnaise, bacon, and Swiss cheese. Much better!
If you are in the mood for chicken, the Rosemary Grilled Chicken and the Chicken Stir Fry are other intriguing options. Both dishes boast a nice amount of veggies, but I'm a little leery about the rosemary demi sauce and Tangy Asian sauce. I wonder if they are oil or cream based.
I also like the Grilled Salmon and Flaherty's Fish. Both salmon and tilapia are on Dr. Fuhrman's list of lowest mercury levels. So I'm not too worried about the contamination risk. Both dishes come with some great veggies like green beans and broccoli. Fantastic because when I hear the word green I know that means high nutrient content. Oh, and I would definitely hold off the on the lemon butter sauce for Flaherty's Fish. The dairy would ravage my system for sure.
Now, if chicken and fish don't suit your fancy, Bennigan's does have some nice vegetable-only selections. Of course you've got the Bennigan's Garden Salad with an impressive bounty of vegetation: mixed salad greens, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Although the croutons have got to go and I'd limit the oily dressing; maybe ask the wait staff for just vinegar instead. The Roasted Vegetable Primavera also looks good, but again I'd avoid that pesky lemon butter sauce.
If none of these dishes turn you on, try this. Over the weeks I've found myself compelled to compile various vegetable-based sides into a main dish. This certainly works for Bennigan's too, they've got a bunch of interesting choices: black beans, steamed broccoli, fresh green beans, and roasted vegetables. I don't know about you, but black beans with roasted vegetables sounds pretty tasty to me.
So that does it for our Irish adventure. And we didn't even need a four leaf clover! Remember we want your feedback! Tell us what you might have done differently or what you agree with. Check out Bennigan's menu and let us know how you Eat to Live on the Outside? Leave a comment or email us at email@example.com.

Letters to the Editor
Thank you for your well-balanced column on the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman case. I agree that there are many facets to this case, which include "stereotyping," which we as Americans (along with most humans) practice. Zimmerman no doubt stereotyped Martin on the night of Feb. 26, in Florida, which resulted in Trayvon Martin's unfortunate death.

That stereotyping was involved in this incident is probably a given, but I think one should consider the "vigilante mentality" that was influencing Zimmerman that night as he carried a concealed weapon on his "block watch" rounds and...

Remembering Memorial Day
June 09, 2011
The last weekend in May is traditionally regarded as the start of the summer season. Unfortunately, in our haste to make the most of the few short months of warm weather, the more serious side of the month is often overlooked. Yard work and vacations all too often take priority over Memorial Day observances. A few dedicated groups of veterans, however, still take the time to remember our war dead. I had the honor of speaking at one such ceremony in Whitewater this year. It isn't unusual for me to give speeches. My speaking circuit, however, is generally limited to service clubs around the county. The topics of those speeches usually involve some aspect of county government. As any Rotarian or Kiwanian, who has patiently sat through one of my lunchtime presentations, can attest, I can talk at great length about county issues. Preparing to speak at a ceremony as solemn as Memorial Day, however, was far more of a challenge for me. Fortunately, while researching the topic I ran across a Memorial Day speech delivered by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Before he became a Supreme Court Justice, Holmes was a Civil War veteran. Wounded several times, Holmes fought in battles including the Wilderness and Antietam. In 1884, with the Civil War fading in the nation's memory, he was asked by a young man why the holiday should still be recognized. Holmes' answer was the best explanation of Memorial Day that I have ever read. Since I couldn't have put it nearly as well, I borrowed heavily from his address. If you weren't able to attend Memorial Day observances in your community, I would encourage you to look up Holmes' speech on the Internet. It might just change the way you think about the last Monday in May.
Lights out in Illinois
January 20, 2011
Back in the 1980s, Illinois Gov. James Thompson ordered the placement of a billboard on the Illinois-Wisconsin border, which read "Would the last business to leave Wisconsin please turn out the lights?" The action and the message sparked yet another rivalry between the two states, as Wisconsin's economy struggled and businesses considered moving to more tax-friendly states, such as Illinois. But in an ironic twist, all of that may soon change as the state of Illinois recently enacted massive tax increases, which could send business to other states, including Wisconsin. Following the November election and before newly-elected lawmakers could take office, the Illinois legislature narrowly adopted and the governor is expected to enact into law a series of tax hikes, along with new spending and borrowing increases.

Legislature acts on election reform measure
May 26, 2011
When Wisconsin voters go to the polls, they exercise a fundamental and protected right to shape, and reshape, their government to better reflect their values and principles for a free society. But when someone knowingly acts to misrepresent themselves and engage in fraud at the polling place, that right is taken away from someone else, and the integrity of our elections is called into question.For years, and following numerous instances of such voter fraud, Wisconsin voters have called on lawmakers to do more in order to address the concern, and now, that call has been answered. Under new legislation recently approved by the legislature, an elector will be required to provide proof of identification in order to vote by way of a photo ID. Under the legislation, acceptable photo IDs include state-issued ID cards, Wisconsin drivers licenses, temporary DMV receipts, military IDs, passports, naturalization certificates, IDs issued by Wisconsin-based tribes, and certain student IDs. Students would have to show an accredited college or university ID that includes a photo, current address, expiration date, date of birth and signature.
An update on action in the State Assembly
May 19, 2011
With the Budget Repair Bill passed and protestors leaving the State Capitol in Madison, things have returned to a more normal state. However, we are continuing to move full speed ahead with a variety of reforms in the State Assembly.Last month marked our first 100 days in office. The number one focus of the Special Session called by Governor Walker was to get Wisconsin back on the right track by improving the job creation climate, reducing the tax burden and balancing the states budget. We passed bills designed to improve the business climate by enacting much-needed tort reform, reducing health care costs and reforming the states Commerce Department. Part of this 100 day package of legislation included my first bill, Special Session Assembly Bill 5, which makes it harder for the legislature to pass tax increases. Hopefully, this bill will go a long way toward getting Wisconsin out of the top-10 highest taxed states in the nation.
An estranged collection
May 12, 2011
I havent seen any official statistics on the subject, but based on countless conversations that I have had with middle-aged men, Im going to say that 70 percent of men over the age of 40 have had their valuable baseball card collections thrown away by their mothers. I realize that this may be a sore point to raise right after Mothers Day, and I want to make it clear that I am not blaming moms. In an era before iPods and X-Boxes, trading cards got a real workout. In addition to being occasionally run through the washing machine, they were often placed against the spokes of bicycle tires to serve as makeshift motors. In defense of mothers everywhere, most of the cards probably looked like junk. The collections of younger guys often didnt suffer this fate. They bought their cards for the sole purpose of saving them until the end of time. Hermetically sealed in hard plastic cases, moms are less apt to mistake these collections for junk as they did when they threw away most of the worlds supply of Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax rookie cards.
Getting ready for webcasts
May 05, 2011
Walworth County government has been gearing up over the past few months to broadcast streaming video of its board and committee meetings over the Internet. Once the system is up and running, anyone with an Internet connection will be able to watch either live or archived versions of county meetings. Im glad the board made the commitment to webcast its meetings. Even though it will probably never challenge the ratings of American Idol, the public benefits from knowing more about the government it elects.During the past 20 years I have been involved in local government, technology has dramatically improved the publics access to information. It has also added significant duties to the job of the staff person responsible for providing administrative support to the board or committee. In Walworth County, the County Clerk provides support for the County Board. Keeping committee proceedings straight is the responsibility of department heads. They, in turn, rely heavily upon an administrative assistant. These employees perform other duties within county government. Every month, however, they are pressed into service to ensure that county supervisors and the public stay informed and that the county complies with the Open Meetings Law. Supporting a committee used to involve typing up the meeting agenda and taking minutes. Both of these tasks remain important responsibilities. The job, however, has expanded to include a whole lot more.The support process begins with agenda preparation. After committee chairpersons give final approval, it is the responsibility of the administrative assistant to type up the agenda and assemble the informational material that accompanies it. The packet, as it is often called, consists of memos, draft resolutions and reports that pertain to agenda items. The entire packet, which can range from 20 to more than 200 pages, is then scanned, posted on the countys website and e-mailed to elected officials, department heads and the media. Uploading the agenda also permits its display on four public computer kiosks located in various county buildings. Paper versions of the agenda packet are assembled, for delivery by courier to supervisors who prefer the hard copy, rather than virtual version of agenda materials. State law requires only that agendas be publicly posted. A few years ago the board directed that the packets be made available to the public, as well. Supervisors reasoned the meeting would make a lot more sense to constituents if they could see and read the actual documents that were being discussed.
County volunteers a special group
April 14, 2011
The drama in Madison has dominated my columns for the past few months. With lawyers and politicians now battling over the budget repair bill, I thought it would be a good time to catch up on a few issues impacting the county.April 10 marks the start of National Volunteer Week. As the county has downsized its workforce over the past decade, I have come to appreciate the increasingly important role volunteers are playing in delivering services to the public. Walworth County government supports two volunteer initiatives. The first effort is led by our volunteer organizer, Colleen Lesniak. She is a county employee who is responsible for placing volunteers in county departments and programs. While the job may seem straightforward, theres a lot to it. Colleen promotes awareness of the importance of volunteerism, both among the public and within the county organization.
GOP path to prosperity
Budget cuts $6.2 trillion in spending puts nation on track to pay off debt
April 07, 2011
Congress is currently embroiled in a funding fight over how much to spend on less than one-fifth of the federal budget for the next six months. Whether we cut $33 billion or $61 billion that is, whether we shave 2 or 4 percent off of this years deficit is important. Its a sign that the election did in fact change the debate in Washington from how much we should spend to how much spending we should cut. But this morning the new House Republican majority will introduce a budget that moves the debate from billions in spending cuts to trillions. America is facing a defining moment. The threat posed by our monumental debt will damage our country in profound ways, unless we act. No one person or party is responsible for the looming crisis. Yet the facts are clear: Since President Obama took office, our problems have gotten worse. Major spending increases have failed to deliver promised jobs. The safety net for the poor is coming apart at the seams. Government health and retirement programs are growing at unsustainable rates. The new health-care law is a fiscal train wreck. And a complex, inefficient tax code is holding back American families and businesses.
Good timing for Sunshine Week
March 31, 2011
It seemed to be quite a coincidence that one of the biggest cases challenging open government in Wisconsin would be heard during Sunshine Week. The big case, of course, was the open meetings violation filed by Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne challenging the State Senates approval of portions of the controversial Budget Repair Bill (BRB). Sunshine Week, surprisingly, isnt one of those Hallmark Holidays, like Bosses Day, but rather a national effort to promote open government throughout the United States. At the time of this writing, at least, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi temporarily enjoined implementation of the BRB after finding that the District Attorney was likely to succeed on the merits of the case. A competing school of thought says the law is currently on the books, having been recently published by the states Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
Why budgeting reforms are needed
March 24, 2011
With Wisconsin facing an immediate shortfall of $137 million and a $3.6 billion deficit over the next budget biennium, the budgeting sins of the past are finally coming due. It is imperative that we finally balance the budget, and do so without harmful tax increases. The budget repair bill implements the reforms needed to accomplish this, and that is why I voted in favor of the bill.The controversial budget repair bill contains three major budgetary reforms which give the state, local governments, and school districts the flexibility and tools they need to absorb the upcoming reductions in state aid. The reductions are partially needed due to legislative Democrats irresponsibly using $789 million in one-time Federal Stimulus funds to pay for ongoing school costs in the last state budget, which state taxpayers are now on the hook for. Overall, the following provisions will save local government and school boards over $1.44 billion, thereby avoiding thousands in layoffs or massive increases in already-too-high property tax bills.
Standing with taxpayers
Changing status quo in Madison
March 03, 2011
Gov. Scott Walker and I were sent to Madison to get spending under control by balancing the budget, without raising taxes. Although the Governors Budget Repair Bill has been controversial, there is no question that the bill accomplishes these goals.With Senate Democrats going into hiding, Assembly Democrats keeping us on the floor for over 60 hours straight, and thousands of out-of-state protestors packing the Capitol building, our democratic process in Wisconsin looked like it had been put on hold. Despite these obstacles, the State Assembly took clear and decisive action on Friday morning by passing Gov. Walkers bill. I cast my vote in favor of the bill.
Making it more difficult to raise taxes
February 17, 2011
In 2003, then-Gov. Jim Doyle received praise from members of the Legislature on both sides of the aisle when he pledged not to raise taxes in order to solve the states budget deficit. His exact words we should not, we must not, and I will not, raise taxes were met with thunderous applause during his first budget address to the Legislature. Those words echoed throughout the Chamber that night, and for many months to come. Unfortunately, the rhetoric of that speech dissolved over time, as subsequent state budgets were dealt with billions in new and increased taxes. As the new governor and Legislature prepare for the 2011-13 state budget, we know raising taxes may be an easy way out to solve a short-term fiscal problem, but that it only leads to long-term financial crisis much greater than just a budget deficit. In fact, the many tax increases enacted over the last several years have done nothing to solve Wisconsins budget deficit, as it repeats itself budget after budget. In order to solve this problem in the public sector, the private sector must be allowed to succeed. We can not tax our way out of this mess, we must grow our way out.While I firmly believe that is the sentiment of the day, there is no guarantee future legislatures will hold true to it. That is why Legislation was recently adopted to statutorily require a two-thirds super-majority vote of the Legislature in order to raise taxes. Under the bill, which governor Walker has pledged to sign, no increases to the income, sales, or business tax may be adopted by the Legislature unless the two-thirds majority standard is met, or if the legislature adopts a joint resolution seeking a recommendation from the voters to do so through a statewide referenda. In either case, raising taxes in Wisconsin will become much more difficult, as I believe it should.

At the 2011 World Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo, Japan, UCLA signee Peng Peng Lee finished in the Top 20 in the all-around finals on Oct. 13, and Bruin alumna Anna Li earned a gold medal as the alternate for the U.S. team, which claimed its third World title on Oct. 11.
Lee was the lone Canadian qualifier for an individual all-around or event final. She placed 19th overall with a score of 54.732. Her high mark came on her first event, the floor exercise, where she scored 13.966. She also posted marks of 13.9+ on vault (13.933) and uneven bars (13.9) and scored 12.933 on beam.
In the team competition earlier in the week, Lee led Canada to an 11th-place finish, securing the Canadians a spot in the final Olympic qualification meet early next year.
Lee will continue competition for the Canadian National Team at the Pan Am Games, which begin Oct. 14 and run through Oct. 30.
The U.S. women won the team gold medal for the third time in its history. Li was named the alternate on the squad after suffering an abdominal injury prior to the competition.

Press release reads as follows:
Famed producer/emcee The Alchemist, and Oh No, the left-coast rapper/beatsmith are collaborating as Gangrene, to bring audiences the gritty opus Gutter Water on Decon. Over the course of three years and a myriad of emails, the two have built a project that celebrates their shared passion for dusty breaks and lurid wordplay as well as their distinctly different application of each.
On Gutter Water, both Oh No and The Alchemist share production duties while trading verses over each other's dense compositions. Both find themselves remarkably at ease amongst the threatening drums pounded out on endearing vintage equipment, flipping verses that run the gamut from literal to abstract, amounting to an incredible collection of head-nodders. A myriad of features include Raekwon, Evidence, Roc C, MED, Twins Gambino, Planet Asia and Fashawn.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Our mission statement is "to foster the humane care and housing of abandoned animals, to promote compatible adoption of animals, and to decrease the number of stray animals in Jefferson County through education, disease prevention, sterilization and cooperation with law enforcement.
Cat adoptions fees are $50 and include vaccines, rabies, Fiv/Felv testing, spay or neuter and a microchip.
Dog adoptions fees are $80 and include vaccines, rabies, temperament test, heartworm test, spay or nueter and a microchip.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

I have two keyboards. One is built-in to my laptop, the other is an external keyboard I use when docked. They have slightly different key mappings for things like multimedia keys.
For that reason, I'd like to make multiple assignments to a handful of keyboard shortcuts. My external keyboard doesn't have a Windows button, so I'd like to launch Unity Dash (for example) using either a Windows/logo button, or to a specific keybinding.
Is there any way to make multiple assignments this way in Gnome?
