Laconia firefighters return to scene of stubborn three-alarm fire
A large section of the roof of a 60,000 square foot building at 161 Court St. in Laconia collapsed in the overnight fire, destroying all but one of the businesses housed in the commercial-industrial structure.
Laconia Fire Capt. Bob Landry said the first report of a fire in the building was received at 2:37 a.m. Firefighters arrived to find heavy flames inside the building, and second and third alarms were struck almost immediately to summon aerial towers and additional manpower.
The fire began in the attic and quickly spread, leading to fears that the walls and roof would collapse.
"We went defensive when we showed up, which means we don't go in the building," Landry said. "When you get that amount of fire in attics we don't go in because the structure might collapse."
A portion of the roof did cave in, as firefighters sprayed a constant stream of water on the burning building from aerial tower trucks from Laconia, Meredith, Franklin and Concord, keeping the fire from spreading to neighboring structures.
Prevailing winds carried burning embers away from the building, so a fire truck was assigned to patrol a nearby neighborhood to make sure the sparks did not ignite another fire.
No injuries were reported. The property was the home to the former Skate Escape roller rink which had been setting up quarters elsewhere in the city.
Other occupants included Northeast Electrical, a little Cesar's pizza shop, an embroidery shop and Lakes Region Linens. Firefighters managed to save the linen firm, which provided linen service to hospitals.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Officials said losses from the fire damage could hit $1 million.

Sculptures made from repeating human bone motifs
Czech artist Monika Horčicová makes beautiful, haunting sculptures comprised of repeated, 3D-printed human bones. They remind me of the Capela dos Ossos in Portugal, whose walls and vaults are lined with bones of 5,000 parishoners from nearby churches.
Were dinosaurs warm-blooded, cold-blooded, or something else?
Were dinosaurs warm-blooded or cold-blooded? That's a debate that's been going on since 1968, when Yale scientists first proposed that dinos could have been active, agile, and fast.
Modern-day US civil war depicted in "A Better World"
Here's an exclusive excerpt from Marcus Sakey's A Better World, the second book in the Brilliance saga.
In the Brilliance saga, since 1980, 1% of the world has been born with gifts we'd only dreamed of: the ability to sense a person's most intimate secrets, or predict the stock market, or move virtually unseen.

Start at the top instead of the bottom. President Obama used Air Force One a total of 172 times at an estimated cost of $200 million per flight in 2010. The total will probably be exceeded in 2011. The ex-speaker of the House used a large corporate jet from the same Special Air Mission Flight for weekly jaunts to California. The suggestion would be to cut the federal travel budget in half by only allowing essential travel and no paid travel for campaign contributions.

Today's Tarot for Ringo Starr
spread provides insight into the interaction between two people or entities. It is the spread of choice for questions about partnerships, be they in romance or business. The
Aquatic Tarot
is a modern watercolor interpretation of the classic Rider Waite symbolism. It is rapidly becoming one of the most popular decks, due to both its spectacular beauty and its traditional imagery.
The card at the top left represents
how you see yourself
Two of Cups (Love), when reversed
: Instability in romance, friendship, or business. A deep infatuation that excludes existing friends. A false promise or premature commitment. The entanglement of male and female interpreted in the broadest sense. The profaning of the sacred through the introduction of base desire. Folly, depletion, and waste. May suggest conflict, divorce, or a severing of ties.
The card at the top right represents
how you see your partner
Seven of Cups (Temptation), when reversed
: Daydreams and fantasies brought into realistic focus. The contemplation of many options leading to a conclusive choice. Inner clarity that dissipates illusions and false choices. Remaining connected to reality in the face of intoxication, delirium, or hallucination. Under rare and extreme circumstances, may indicate the failure to recognize a transcendental spiritual truth.
The card in the center left represents
how you feel about your partner
The Hierophant, when reversed
: Authoritarianism. Inflexible and dogmatic thinking. A calcified old regime. Bad or incompetent advice. Inability to hear a higher or inner voice, or pretending to hear it for personal gain.
The card in the center right represents
what stands between you and your partner
The Lovers
: A caring and trusting relationship. Beauty and inner harmony. A decision calling for emotional control and faithfulness to spiritual values.
The card in the lower left represents
how your partner sees you
Four of Cups (Luxury), when reversed
: New and unusual relationships and opportunities. The reawakening of your appetite for life or love. The path of excess leading to spiritual rejuvenation and the appearance of novel ambitions.
The card in the lower right represents
what your partner feels about you
The Empress
: The essence of femininity and matriarchy. Creativity, productivity, and the foundation of civilization. Initiative and practical actions that promote prosperity, comfort and luxury. Fruitfulness and motherhood.
The card in the center represents the present status or
challenge of the relationship
Knight of Pentacles
: The essence of earth behaving as fire, such as molten magma: One slow to action, but decisive and unrelenting once set in motion. A force of nature whose methods are as predictable and dependable as they are unstoppable. The voice of duty, honor, and responsibility. The will to the change the world, not through bold action, but through the thorough and unwavering application of proven means.

Re: Question for the Parents on TrekBBS
We have two children (18 and 10). I never spanked either one. I don't believe in it.
There are lots of reasons for this, but ultimately I think if you have to hit a child to get them to do what you want, they've outsmarted you.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States...The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge'.

Exhibition: Daniel Libeskind's Architectural Drawings
On October 23, 2013, Tel Aviv's Ermanno Tedeschi Gallery will open its newest show, "Never Say the Eye Is Rigid: Architectural Drawings of Daniel Libeskind". The exhibition, in collaboration with the Ermanno Tedeschi Gallery (Milan, Turin, Rome ,Tel Aviv), which brings together 52 original drawings will include depictions of the architect's signature work, the Jewish Museum Berlin (2001), and his 2003 master plan for Ground Zero in New York City.
The exhibition arrives in Tel Aviv after opening at the Ermanno Tedeschi Gallery in Rome and in Turin. From Tel Aviv the show will travel to the Ermanno Tedeschi Gallery in Milan then travel to London and to New York City (location and dates to be announced). The exhibition in Tel Aviv will show some sketches exposed in Italy and other new projects.
The sketches reflect a wide range of styles and techniques and range from almost-classical line drawings to highly expressive watercolors and free-flowing ink sketches. All of the works reflect a connection between the philosophical ideas underlying the project depicted and that project's unique aesthetics – its particular color, mood, posture and tension. From the extremely large scroll depicting the Ground Zero master plan to the intimate sketches of the Jewish Museum Berlin, the drawings offer a rare and intriguing glimpse into Mr. Libeskind's approach to some of his most famous projects.

Although widely known as "The White City" for boasting the world's largest collection of International Style Buildings, Tel Aviv is not merely a monochromatic Bauhaus colony: it presents a rich mosaic of locally interpreted styles, from Eclectic to Brutalist to contemporary, which are the result of foreign and locally-born architects who adapted to the local cultural and climatic conditions.

Architactics Exhibition / SAYA
Free and open to the public at the ZEZEZE Architecture Gallery in Tel Aviv, the Architactics exhibition by SAYA Design for Change summarizes the approach of SAYA's mission-based practice. Rather than diving into the details of their specific proposals, it illustrates the channels of influence this practice has defined for design in peace making. SAYA's pioneering approach termed by its founders as "Resolution Planning" was developed a decade ago to reclaim the architectural responsibility in designing peace. Its goal is to redefine the role and responsibility of architects in conflict resolution, to re-include the city, the people and their joint future space back into the picture. The exhibition will continue to be on display until August 24. More architects' description after the break.

Wrigley renovation plan clears another hurdle
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs' planned $500 million renovation of Wrigley Field has won the approval of another city commission and the support of the local alderman — all but assuring the project will go forward.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Chicago Plan Commission on Thursday approved the proposal to renovate Wrigley and develop nearby property. The plan includes putting an electronic Jumbotron above the ivy-covered outfield walls of the 99-year-old ballpark.
Alderman Tom Tunney endorsed the plan days after he told the city's landmarks commission that he didn't. Tunney said Mayor Rahm Emanuel has assured him there will be no other outfield signs other than the Jumbotron and another large sign for several years.
Approval from the City Council is widely expected because it's supported by Tunney and Emanuel.
Charlestown QB Daniel leads South past North
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Charlestown's Aaron Daniel threw for a touchdown pass and ran for two more scores to help Indiana South All-Stars beat the North 27-6 on Friday night in the All-Star Classic.
Daniel completed both of his pass attempts for 57 yards, including a 38-yard touchdown strike to Cardinal Ritter's Alex Parrett in the first quarter. The 6-foot, 195-pound Daniel ran for 60 yards on six attempts in the game at North Central High School.
Alex Rodriguez, a running back from Lawrence Central, added 79 yards on the ground for the South.
The South blocked three kicks, one on an extra point, another on a field goal that would have cut the lead to eight points in the fourth quarter, and the third on a punt.

HHS spending: Responsible all along
When the $10.7 billion budget deal was announced last week, Hassan released this statement: "This bipartisan, fiscally responsible balanced budget agreement represents true and meaningful progress on the priorities that matter to the people of New Hampshire and that are critical for creating good jobs and building a more innovative economic future."
So when Senate Republicans propose spending $2.07 billion on HHS, it's devastating, but when Republicans and Democrats agree together to spend $2.07 billion on HHS, it's fiscally responsible. Got it.

Enough is enough. We are tired of CDCR officials, CCPOA, IGI, ISU and SSU continuing all this manipulation, deception with word games, lying to politicians to secure funding, lying to the media and the public in order to cover up the truth. The outcome of the two hunger strikes only exposed a little of their lies but enough to shock the world.

As the corporate domination of our food, land, air and water continues and the resistance heats up to the monster known as Monsanto, it must be said that in the U.S. it's us po' folks of all cultures and ages that are getting the worst of it. Some obvious, most not. And no one is really speaking for us. "The poor people's plate is rooted in capitalist hate for the three job working mamaz caught in the welfare state."

Dr. Macheo Payne is making his mark in the field of education by focusing on new practices around keeping Black male youth in the classroom. His dissertation, "The Three Commitments: Critical Race Theory and Disproportionate Suspension of Black Males," challenges classroom teachers and other school site staff to re-examine their approaches to student learning, particularly learning for young Black men.

The inclusion of Assata Shakur on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Terrorists list last month – marking 29 years since her liberation from a New Jersey maximum security prison in 1979 by members of the Black Liberation Army – while aimed at Cuba's leadership should also be interpreted as a shot across the bow of any internal revolutionary movement or revolutionary activists in the United States.

Twenty years ago, there was a prison uprising in Lucasville. A correctional officer and several prisoners who collaborated with the prison administration were murdered. Imam Saddique Hasan and other prisoners who acted as spokespeople for the prisoners were eventually charged with the murders and have been held on Ohio's death row ever since.

On Wednesday, Feb.13, 2013, for over three hours, the Laney College Forum rang with the sounds that only an evening spent with artist, musician, activist Charlotte Hill O'Neal, affectionately known as "Mama C," could produce: the sounds of love, laughter, awe and welcome of a community embracing one of its own.

What a tragic image: A man and his son handcuffed and shackled together, yet musingly delighted about seeing a senior family member whom they are not going inside to visit. Rather, the two are to join in what is widely considered as America's modern day form of slavery. The inhumanity represented in this artwork should be disturbing to anyone with a conscience – but few are moved.

For the second week in a row, one of the largest audiences for any show on KPFA was disappointed not to hear the People's Minister of Information JR Valrey and his Block Report on the air Wednesday at 8 a.m. Instead we heard an announcement by interim general manager Andrew Phillips that JR has been suspended. Getting punished for doing "too well" happens to Black folks much too often. Sign the two petitions to end the suspension of JR Valrey from KPFA and attend the Town Hall Meeting, Thursday, April 11, 6 p.m. at Laney College. This story is constantly being updated with new signatures and comments.

Revolutionaries throughout the Americas and the Caribbean owe a great debt to Hugo Chavez. His selfless struggle for the advancement of the masses of poor and oppressed occupied him 24/7. It was with sheer determination and a lifetime of struggle that this great champion of the oppressed, Comandante Hugo Chavez, led a revolution that provides us with a working example of what he termed "21st century socialism," where people of all ethnicities have a place under the sun.

I would like to know the reasons why the Muni constantly stops trains on the T-Line at 23rd Street as if the rest of Third Street doesn't exist. I pay for a monthly pass and I feel that I deserve to be treated with the same services as the Mission Bay area. It's despicable how the Muni service treats the citizens in Bayview. This is obviously a classic combination of classism and racism.

"Claudia Jones: Beyond Containment" (2011) is a collection of writings by Jones herself. The book makes a tremendous contribution to the literature on left, feminist and Pan-African struggles during the 20th century. A new generation of activists and organizers will benefit immensely from Jones' writings on the most pressing and burning issues of the period.

This weekend I was detained because I asked for an African American police officer. Even if I was not within my rights to request to speak to a Black police officer, they should have just said, "No, we're not doing that. Get out of here." Instead, I was detained for asking for a reasonable accommodation based on my mental state and taken to 850 Bryant St.

Just as organizations like the NAACP denounced conservative-revisionist textbooks in Texas in 2010, they should denounce liberal-bent historical accounts that either ignorantly or deliberately fail to concede that "Abraham Lincoln did the right thing for the wrong reasons." Or as Lerone Bennett aptly conveyed in the title of his book, Lincoln was in effect "Forced Into Glory."

I say this is torture: Being held in this solitary confinement cage where I can stand in the middle of the floor, extend my arms, and touch both walls. For the last 34 years, 23 hours a day is by definition torture. They say it is because of my political education, affiliation with the Angola 3 – Shaka, King and Chairman Hooks – and my ties to the Black Panther Party.

Anthony "Tony" Pirone, the police officer who had his knee on Oscar Grant's back while Grant was laying on the Fruitvale BART platform in Oakland as Officer Johannes Mehserle shot and killed him, is seeking arbitration with BART to be reinstated to his previous position with the BART police. Many consider Pirone as one of the main instigators in the events leading to Grant's murder.

The fiery writing of JR Valrey began appearing in the Bay View a dozen years ago. JR made our original vision for the Bay View reality: to inspire Black youth to build a powerful Black community. As the Bay View's associate editor and one of KPFA's most popular programmers with his provocative Block Report Radio shows, JR and the youth who grew up on his empowering words and pictures are growing in influence, making a difference every day – and they're just getting started.

P.J. Tucker: Phoenix Suns have always been No. 1
Originally published: Jul 14, 2014 - 2:11 pm
That his emotions would get the best of him late last week after agreeing to a new three-year contract with the Phoenix Suns should come as no surprise considering his passion for the game, which manifests itself in his hard-nosed play and hustle that has earned him the respect of his peers and endeared him to fans.
Also, Tucker had just earned financial security, a reported $16.5 million for him and his family, a well-deserved pay off for those five years he spent bouncing from one overseas team to another.
"I cried," he said. "It was emotional, man. It was an emotional time."
Tucker's international career includes passport stamps from Israel, Ukraine, Greece, Italy, Puerto Rico and Germany.
"Anybody that's been through what I've been through -- I kind of Instagrammed about it -- riding on dirt roads in the Ukraine, 12-hour bus rides because they didn't have airports. I've been through it," he said. "So to get to the point where I'm at now is just, only God and faith that I knew that I was supposed to be in the NBA. So every day, every game I leave it all out there. People think it's just me playing hard. It's me wanting to be in the NBA and trying to prove every game that I should be here."
The Suns brought Tucker back to the NBA, signing him to a two-year deal in the summer of 2012. He turned that opportunity into a starting role, where he became one of the league's better perimeter defenders with a solid corner three-point shooting stroke to keep opposing teams honest.
Twice he won the Dan Majerle Hustle Award, becoming the first player to win the award in back-to-back years.
Tucker, 29, entered free agency knowing the Suns could match any offer he might have received from another team given his restricted status. Houston, Memphis and New Orleans were among the teams that showed the most interest, but in the end, Tucker landed in the one spot he never wanted to leave.
"Luckily for me it worked out. I'm in the place where I want to be with a deal that I felt was fair. I'm pretty happy. Phoenix has always been No. 1 for me," he said during a break from watching his teammates play in the Las Vegas Summer League.
"I've said it from day one. I wanted to be here. I was here when it wasn't great. I was here when it got better. I want to be here. I'm back here and now I'm ready to work."
Tucker, who is expected to sign his contract this week, is coming off a season in which he averaged career-highs with 9.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 steals with 38.7 three-point shooting in 30.7 minutes.
Just as important, and maybe even more so, was his locker room influence, especially on a young roster. He and Channing Frye were two of the louder voices and with Frye choosing to sign with Orlando, Tucker is expected to take on an even greater leadership role this season.
"With him being gone, it made me want to sign back even more because of all the young guys we've got," Tucker said. "I definitely didn't want to leave because I felt like I was leaving a chapter open. You kind of want to finish it out and try to see where it can go. I kind of leave it in the hands of the front office and see where we can take it."

Adorable save the date
Nautical Dreams Save the Date Magnets We absolutely love our nautical save the dates from Magnet Street. We are getting married on a boat next year and these are perfect! The actual product we ordered looks even better than the sample. And very fast shipping. We couldn't be happier!
Very Pleased
Nautical Dreams Foldover Pockets I was surprised with how easy the whole invitation process was. We were able to order our customized sample, make our changes, and order the final product with no hassle. Plus, at checkout I googled promo codes and got $75 bucks off. I had initially started working with another website but they wouldn't even let me order a sample. So glad we found Magnet Street! We got several compliments on the invitations and were completely satisfied.
Magnet Street professionally and artistically provides beautiful stationary
Nautical Dreams Tea-length Invitations We are thrilled with the high quality of paper and printing from Magnet Street for our wedding products. We had so many comments from guests about the darling wedding favor boxes and water bottle labels. It was so nice to be able to custom design the layout of the invitations, while still keeping the color scheme and nautical theme created by Magnet Street! We felt Magnet Street's computerized personalization allowed us to make unique, custom invitations with ease! Thank you for making our wedding stationary a dream come true!
Simple and beautiful card
Names Written in the Sand Tea-length Invitations I am very pleased with the quality of the invitations. What you see online is exactly what you get. Also, I love the box they send with your order. I definitely recommend this company, they have excellent customer service, you will not be disappointed.
Nautical Dreams Tea-length Programs My fiancé and I debated having programs but decided to have them for our June wedding. They had a lot of great designs that were a lot more affordable compared to other websites. There were so many designs to choose from and the process was quick and seamless. They arrived within a few days and we both love the end result! I would definitely order from Magnet Street again.

Many of us who live in Livermore must interface with Pleasanton ser-vices, i.e., the hospital, doctors' offices, etc., and Pleasanton is not "a cut-through", it is a destination. We could all benefit from an additional road from Pleasanton to Livermore, as Stanley Blvd. is choked with commuters during commute hours.

Small vs Large Organizations. Economies of scale might not always benefit the customers.
Less "competition" in a market would usually mean higher prices for customers. Lastly, economies of scale are a disadvantage to customers by it leading to "monopolies". It would lead to monopolies because "economies of scale" encourages businesses to grow and as they grow they may acquire other firms related to it to eliminate the competition.

McCain asked about PNAC and 9/11 at town hall
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Thursday July 10, 2008
During a town hall event in Portsmouth, OH on Wednesday, John McCain was asked
by a member of the audience whether his links to the parent organization of
the Project for a New American Century explain why he has been reluctant to
support calls for a new investigation of 9/11.
The questioner began, "I was curious about a document. Back in September
of 2000, the Project for a New American Century, or PNAC, whose members included
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush and Paul Wolfowitz, wrote a document
entitled 'Rebuilding Americans Defenses.'"
As McCain turned and paced away from him, the questioner continued, "In
it, they state, quote, "The process of transformation, even if it bring
revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and
catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor."
"Now, many Americans believe that that 'new Pearl Harbor' event took place
on 9/11," the questioner went on, as McCain grimaced slightly. "And
according to a recent New York Times and CBS News poll, 84% of Americans believe
that there were some criminal elements of our government involved in 9/11."
Calls of disapproval began to arise from the audience, but the questioner shot
back, "Hold on!" and continued asking McCain, "Can you tell us
about your role as — hold on — as president of the 'New Citizen Project,'
founded in 1994, which served as a chief fund-raising and parent organization
to PNAC? And is this one of the factors that has made you so reluctant to support
the victims' family members and first responders who are begging for a new investigation
into 9/11?"
The boos became louder at that point, and McCain grimaced again, turned his
back and walked away, but the questioner insisted, "It's a serious question."
"I have a serious answer, sir," McCain replied, "and that is
that it was Joe Lieberman and I — a Democrat — that sponsored the legislation
for the 9/11 Commission. … And very frankly, the administration was not, shall
I say, enthusiastic about the establishment of that commission. … I am proud
of what the 9/11 Commission did. I am proud that we have enacted many of the
reforms … that they recommended. And I will stand by their recommendations
and their conclusions, as will the overwhelming majority of Americans."
"It's a free country," McCain concluded. "You are free to disagree
with their conclusions. But I am proud to have been one of those who was, along
with Joe Lieberman, responsible for the establishment of the 9/11 Commission."
This video is from CNN.com, broadcast July 9, 2008.
