The fisherman looked back. There was a different type of light in the eyes of Jesus. The man was hypnotized. He threw down his net and followed Jesus. But just as they were passing out of the village a man came running and asked the fisherman, "Where are you going? Your father has died." His father was ill, very old. Any moment it was expected that he would die.
So the fisherman said to Jesus, "Jesus, allow me a few days so that I can go back and pay my respects to the old man who is dead and do all that is needed and expected from a son."
Jesus said, "You need not go. The dead will bury the dead." To Jesus the whole village was dead. So he said, "They will bury the dead; you need not worry about it."
Why did Jesus say that the dead will bury the dead? Because all those who live in the past, they are dead. Only those who live in the present are alive. Life means the present, the here and now. It is a very fleeting moment. You can catch it only when you are totally unburdened; otherwise you will miss. If your mind is moving toward the past you will miss the fleeting moment of life. It is so momentary, it is so fleeting, that if you are attached to the past you will go on missing it.
And this is happening. Even when you are not thinking of the past, you are thinking of the past reflected in the future. But you are never in the present, that much is certain. Either you are in the past which is no more, or in the future which is yet to be. Both are not, both are nonexistential. One is dead and one is not yet born. And whatsoever you think of the future is just a reflected past, a projected past, because what can you think of the future? You can think of the tomorrow only in terms of the yesterday because you do not know any other language.
You loved someone yesterday, now you think to love him tomorrow. It is going to be just the past again repeated with some modification. And those modifications also come from past experience. Nothing new can be projected into the future. Only the past can be projected. So you move like a shuttle between the past and the future, and in this constant movement the fleeting present, that which is life, is missed. And only through life can you enter the Brahman.
The Upanishads say do not be attached to knowledge, do not be attached to memory, do not be attached to the past. Go on dying to it so that you are ever young, fresh, virgin. Again and again you are open. No past becomes an imprisonment around you. You always move on and leave the dead shells to the past.
The sutra says:
He knows it who knows it not.

(Al Bello/Getty Images)New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter reached out to the mother of a teacher killed in the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary school last week, offering his condolences over the phone to a woman described in her eulogy as being a big fan of the Yankees.According to The New York Daily News, Donna Soto, mother of Victoria, received a phone call on Wednesday from Jeter, the same day she laid her child to rest in a funeral. A cousin of the family said that Donna found the conversation to be "uplifting" during a most difficult time:"Vicki loved the Yankees — that was part of her eulogy. No one in the family reached out, so (Jeter) must have heard about it and ... reached out. "It was a surprise and unexpected. Donna was ecstatic over it and very happy. She spoke to him for quite some time. [I]'m happy that it brought some comfort ... People like Jeter have reached out. It brings some comfort to know that people recognize Vicki as a hero."Jeter joins a number of other professional athletes who have reached out to victims in the wake of last week's historic tragedy. Twenty-six people were killed when Adam Lanza, a 20-year-old armed with guns, stormed into the Connecticut elementary school, eventually taking his own life. New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz met on Tuesday with the family of 6-year-old Jack Pinto, a fan of Cruz and the Giants. Pinto was one of 20 children killed last week at the school. Also on Tuesday, Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson reached out to 11-year-old Jack McDonnell after he lost his younger sister, Grace, in the shooting, according to USA Today Sports. "Jack seems like a really nice kid. It's really a great family, really, and my heart goes out to them. It's a situation where I just want to lift the family up, or lift anyone up who is going through such a tough time. Anything possible I can do to lift their spirits up a little bit, that's all I want to do."Johnson wrote the names of each of the 26 victims on his cleats before the Titans played the New York Jets on Dec. 17. Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder also paid tribute to the victims, writing "Newtown, CT" on his sneakers for a game last week, hours after the shooting. Promoted Stories Comments

Cassie Takes R&B Higher on Smoky 'Indo' for Solange's Label
Diddy-preened singer shares her contribution to the 'Saint Heron' compilation
Connecticut-born chameleon Cassie reinvented herself at the top of 2012 with the dance-pop groove "King of Hearts," and then flouted expectations further by wreaking havoc with Nicki Minaj, working over Kendrick Lamar, and dropping a raw, rapper-packed mixtape called RockaByeBaby. But tomorrow, she replants a flag for her the zero gravity R&B we first knew her for, appearing on the Solange-curated Saint Heron compilation alongside folks like Kelela, BC Kingdom, and Jhené Aiko. Below, via Stereogum, you can hear "Indo," Cassie's contribution and a fittingly hazy, dazed tribute to the song's combustible subject matter. Not for nothing, Solange wrote and produced the new song.

Like all the rest of the lights I have from the Paradox line, this one is great! Solidly built and very bright to light up the whole room. A piece of cake to install. It lights up the newly done bathroom very nicely. Plenty of light to go around.

Minka Lavery 5424-84-PL 4 Light for Bathroom/Brushed Nickel
By Gwen D. from Osborne, KS on Oct 19, 2012
This four light fixture was perfect for my space and had to have the globes facing up so I could get my hand in to change the blubs. My cabinet below was not recessed. The globes are really great looking and I love the brushed nickel finish. My only concern is finding the replacement blubs as they are unique but do provide a very good quality light.

'Show courage and conviction': Gillard
PUBLISHED: 29 May 2012 07:06:00 | UPDATED: 29 May 2012 14:47:03PRINT EDITION: 29 May 2012Show of support ... Prime Minister Julia Gillard has had some rare good news in a poll that shows her ahead of opposition leader Tony Abbott as preferred PM. But Labor's primary vote is still in the doldrums. Photo: Andrew Meares
james massola, online political correspondent
Under attack ... The Australian says Tony Abbott's dogged pursuit of embattled MP Craig Thomson is rubbing voters up the wrong way. PHoto: Alex Ellinghausen
Julia Gillard has urged her colleagues to show "courage and conviction" over the next 500 days ahead of the next election, as she conceded Labor was enduring one of its most difficult periods in government.
Addressing her MPs in the party's caucus room meeting today, Ms Gillard conceded last week had been a "hard week" in parliament and outlined plans designed to help Labor turn its fortunes around.
"Over the next 500 days, we need to show courage and conviction,'' she said, adding that she believed Labor could win the 2013 election.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott warned colleagues not to take an election win for granted, saying he was under no illusions about the difficulty of defeating Ms Gillard.
"Gillard won't lie down and die and where there's life, there's fight," Mr Abbott said.
Mr Abbott paraphrased his mentor, former prime minister John Howard, saying that every day in politics is a test of character.
The comments come as Newspoll showed support for the federal government had crept to its highest level in three months and Ms Gillard back on top as the nation's preferred leader.
Ms Gillard's personal approval bounce saw her leapfrog Mr Abbott as preferred prime minister, jumping from 36 per cent a fortnight ago to 40 per cent in the Newspoll as the Opposition Leader sank three points to 37 per cent, his lowest personal rating since he became opposition leader in 2009.
Labor's primary vote is up two points over the past fortnight to 32 per cent and follows a three-point bounce for the government after the May 8 budget while the coalition is up one point to 46 per cent and the Greens were steady on 12 per cent,
Ms Gillard also used Tuesday's caucus meeting to remind her colleagues the government was offering financial assistance to 3.2 million pensioners and had put in place cost of living measures such as the school kids' bonus and tax cuts, while about 1.5 million families had already received family payments.
The Coalition was desperate for an election before July 1 because "its scare campaign would falter when Australians saw the reality of the carbon tax,'' she said.
The Prime Minister said the ALP had already launched party-funded advertisements to sell the school kids' bonus, while she also announced that Labor MPs would mobilise on June 15 and attend local schools to spruik the benefits of the bonus.
The bonus, announced in the May budget, hands families cash payments of $410 for each child in primary school and $820 for high-school students.
A special caucus meeting will be held on June 26 to examine the government's economic and social policies, and discuss the forthcoming Asian Century white paper.
Earlier today, Labor front benchers have welcomed a small rise in support for Labor in the latest Newspoll, arguing Tony Abbott's relentless negativity has cost him public support while conceding the government still faces challenging times ahead.
Housing and Small Business Minister Brendan O'Connor said Labor had gone through some "difficult times" but a "very important" budget and Mr Abbott's negativity had given the government a boost.
"If you are constantly negative as Tony Abbott is, if you are focusing on the wrong issues and not developing policies for the nation, then you get marked down,'' he said.
"I'm a realist, I know that we've got some challenging times, but we are looking to introduce into this country some significant reforms for the benefit of all Australians.
"When reformist governments embark on those major changes, it is challenging. We are going through those difficult periods now but we believe that's in the right interest of this country and ultimately we will be vindicated.
Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten said "being positive will always in the long run trump being negative".
But Coalition environment spokesman Greg Hunt disagreed that Mr Abbott's relentless pursuit of the government had damaged the Opposition Leader.
"This result which many are championing as a tremendous comeback would still lead to the worst defeat since Whitlam of any party in the federal government in the last 35 years,'' he said.
"We are getting on with the business of building the alternative government as well as holding this government to account."
But the bad news for both leaders is that 60 per cent of voters say they are dissatisfied with their performance.

I think at this point we can be happy with any win we get. Last night Sheed/Dyess had to close out the 4th/OT in foul trouble. I have been rough on Sheed lately but he cannot continue to play all these mins. Would it have killed the coach to throw Maxiel or Amir back in to at least dole out some hard fouls - see if that intimidates them on their stroll to the basket? On the bright side. Bucks were playing so much better D and we were still able to keep up with them. A win is a win.
Exciting game to watch tonight. The only thing I really don't understand is why Dyess and Sheed consistently play almost the whole 3rd and 4th quarters..These guys are 34 and 35 years old. Curry must totally forget that he has 3 other bigs on the bench he can sub in for them..If for nothing else sub them in just to give Sheed and Dyess a rest. Come on man. Sheed and Dyess are not 25 years old anymore.
There was a piece in SI this week where they were comparing David Lee & Chris Duhon P&R to Nash/Stoudamire under D'Antoni. Lee credits a November loss to the Pistons for triggering the combo saying 'he couldn't believe how easy it was to score on the P&R that night'.
Pretty well sums it up. Exciting, fun to watch, and always a kind of sinking feeling that it was a banged up Bucks team pushing the Pistons this hard. If you're going to ask Rip to come off the bench, then you've got to be willing to make adjustments based on how well he's playing. No way he should have sat out nine minutes of the third. Especially with Stuckey 1-10 at that point. Why even start Stuckey in the third when was was 0-7 in the first half? Dyess probably came in too early too, subbing for the latest Amir four foul blowup. It's easy to second guess, but the obvious thing would have been to bring in Max and Rip no later than the six minute mark of the third. It could well have been a different game.
Just great. Someone posted an analysis of our pick and roll problem on DBB specifically addressing the way we are playing it. I'm stealing it and posting it here which i hope doesn't get me in trouble. I'm not sure i agree with it, but a good perspective. I

A New York tornado? Brooklyn, Queens not exempt from major storms.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not unheard of to have a tornado in Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan. Skyscrapers do little to disrupt major storms, say meteorologists.
Shannon Stapleton/Reuters
New York
New York has Shubert Alley in the theater district, MacDougal Alley where Jackson Pollock lived in Greenwich Village, and even an occasional bowling alley.
But, who would have thought New York would be this year's Tornado Alley?
Yes, tornadoes, as in the storm that picked up twelve year-old Dorothy Gale and transported her and some dog named Toto to a strange village. But, wait, that was rural Kansas, where tornadoes are supposed to happen. New Yorkers only expect to see them on Broadway sets while people are singing and dancing.
On Friday, New York was trying to clean up the mess after a wind storm roared through Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island, blowing off roofs, downing trees, knocking out power lines, and causing one fatality. Although it's not clear yet whether it was an actual tornado, meteorologists found one part of the deadly storm with 109 mile per hour winds.
Earlier this summer, on July 25th, a tornado roared through the Bronx, causing damage and injuring people.
"It's a myth that cities cannot be hit with tornadoes and damaging winds," says Henry Margusity, senior meteorologist and severe weather expert at AccuWeather.com in State College, Pa. "So far this year, New York has been hit more than the Midwest cities."

DescriptionNever turn your back on a dragon! Sneaking out of prison isn't easy, unless you are a thief, or a wizard. Luckily, Conn is both! Trouble is, once he's out, where does he go? His home is a pile of rubble since he blew it up doing magic. His master, the wizard Nevery, is not happy with him. Worst of all, Conn's been exiled, and staying in the city will mean his death. But Wellmet is in danger from an evil predator coming to destroy the city, and Conn must set off on a quest to fight it. Suddenly, a huge shadow looms over him and he is swept away by something more awesome than his wildest imaginings. Is Conn brave enough to answer magic's call, or is he really just a thief at heart? Sarah Prineas's incredible world explodes with adventurea place where cities run on living magic and heroes come from the most surprising places. About the AuthorSarah Prineas lives in the midst of the corn in Iowa City, Iowa, and can usually be found writing fantasy novels on a stealthy silver MacBook Air called Dash. Prineas's Magic Thief series introduced readers to the irascible wizard Nevery and his gutterboy apprentice, Connwaer.

5 Top PlayerCSPearson | 26/12/2008 | See all CSPearson's reviews (17)Voted one of the best players of 2008 right out the box on anythingbutipod.comThey are really quite small, about the size of a creative zen stone, but exceed in; sound quality, controls, interface and screen size.The little clip on the back is really actually quite useful for when you have filled you pockets but is of course detachable.A must have player. 8gig should be plenty for any music fan.
5 Highly recommended.EternalEmpire | 19/03/2009 | See all EternalEmpire's reviews (6)This player just demonstrates how far technology has come, 8GB of memory in an MP3 player a quarter of the size of my palm... it's amazing. Does everything perfectly, very easy to navigate using the user interface, comes with good quality headphones and USB adapter which couples as a charger, and I received it in just 3 days after ordering. Features a sturdy looking clip on the back, presumably for runners so that is can be clipped to the clothing rather than bouncing around in their pocket which could result in it falling out and getting lost/broken.5/5
2 Want to play it in the car ???slickness | 14/05/2009 | See all slickness's reviews (17)Think again !!This may not be a problem for everyone, but I purchase this to play in the car as I have a USB port and Aux connect in my stereo.Firstly, this doesn't play through your USB port, or at least it does, but without the use of the Clip menu, so its basically a dongle.Secondly, trying to get it to play through the Aux caused so many issues with how the files had been saved on the clip, and so much time spent searching forums for help, I gave up.Two weeks after buying it, the thing still didn't do what I had got it for.Back to the shop for you.
5 Makes a lotta Sensa...M0nsterHunter | 10/06/2009 | See all M0nsterHunter's reviews (20)This is one of my favourite "little" toys; I take it everywhere - I usually clip it onto my watch strap and just use it whenever! The battery lasts for a long time - I flew out to Orlando recently (9 hour flight), used it for a few hours before take off and for most of the flight and there was still 50% charge left - they estimate around 15 hours and I think they are right. One of the reviewers had a problem with a car stereo detecting the device - I can't be sure but this may be down to some piece of DRM jiggery-pockery that Microsoft insist get put onto these types of devices. This DRM stuff is not a big deal in general and you can just drag and drop music files onto the Music folder as you please. There is a setting that the unhappy reviewer can play with to see if their car stereo will pick the Sansa up- basically if you click on "Home - Settings - USB Mode" there are three options: AUTO, MTP and MSC, As I use mine pretty exclusively on PCs, I just keep it on "AUTO" - in your car maybe set it to MTP or MSC - that might just fix your issue?In summary, you can play audio files, audio books, use it as a voice recorder (built in mike) or just as some nice USB memory (the display is also useful). We've got through probably around 4 iPod Shuffles over the last few years (they seem to last around 12 months) but Ive had my Sansa for over two years with no issues.

Pathetic might be a better word. More than anything else, Peter Honerkamp has come to believe, South Beach's nightclub scene, which revolves around a glorification of the superficial, was all wrong for the kind of bar he wanted to run. "I don't want to come across as a bitter New Yorker; we came down to be part of Florida, part of Miami Beach." Having said that, he adds, "I think South Beach is the most emotionally retarded stretch of real estate -- I've never seen such massive stupidity. This is the only town where I've ever been refused entry into a bar -- and it happened twice in one night."
On that same topic, Honerkamp adds that while he prefers not to mention specific names, the area's reliance on promoters -- people who move from club to club generating of-the-moment publicity that has nothing to do with substance A makes him sick: "The posturing, the pure posturing that goes on is enormous. In any sophisticated city, it would be laughed at. I just thank God that in my worst desperation financially, I never reached as low as to hire one of these people who say, 'Pay me and I can make [your club] hip.' In that way, in my personal opinion, this place is just a sewer."
Arthur Barron believes that the Talkhouse's high overhead, and its proprietors' status as outsiders, resulted in an unfriendly tension that was tangible inside the walls of the club. "A nightclub is like a living, breathing organism, a home for its own subculture," he says. "The owners set the vibe. There was a reason people wouldn't hang out there after a show."
Perhaps not surprisingly, Barron is just as adamant in his empathy for the Talkhouse's owners: "They got beat up a lot of times. This is just a horror to a club owner. Not just the fact of losing money. You spent so much time in trying to do the right thing A all the days you spent constructing that place, the sleepless nights. You finish and you feel like you've got it made, and then no one shows up. You feel like fucking dying. It really takes the guts out of you."
"This isn't all that great a turnout for Nil Lara. That people just can't seem to get together and have a good time listening to music -- I take it as a sign there's something really wrong in this country."
Like many fine conversations that take place in bars, this one moves rapidly from the specific to the general, and stays there. And like many such conversations, it begins in the vicinity of the men's room. Finally, this being the end of the evening, the speaker is nearly as well-lit as the neon on Ocean Drive.
On stage Nil Lara is wrapping things up, having played one more encore than he'd intended. Through the haze of stale air and smoke that has been rising since the show began, the Sound God in his distant booth looks like an apparition, his head crowned by a shaggy nimbus of thinning hair.
"There just doesn't seem to be that basic contract between human beings any more A the agreement that 'I won't hurt you,'" the man says. A regular Talkhouse fixture who favors bright Hawaiian shirts and a beat-up Panama hat, he is Michael Genth, one of the club's investors. Honerkamp and Gallo met him in Ibiza. He's in his sixties, with delicate features and the tolerant, reflective demeanor Americans tend to develop when they spend long periods of time out of the country.
In a more sober, though equally sobering, moment of reflection, Honerkamp says South Beach's lack of community might be at the root of his own disaffection. "People can grow up in good households even if the family breaks up, but people who come from stable families do better. In the same way, I think, transient towns suffer, whether they be Houston or Miami or L.A. I think you need a certain percentage of people who grew up together, who went to the same community centers, churches, whatever, and then to the same bars. Here, everyone is constantly coming and going, and I think it makes people more superficial and more on the scam."
Honerkamp doesn't want to go into details about the sale of the bar -- "Something could always go wrong at the last minute," he says -- and refers questions to Neisen Kasdin, the attorney for the prospective buyer (and a Miami Beach city commissioner). Citing his client's right to privacy, Kasdin declines to comment about the sale price or the buyer's plans.
Most Talkhouse staffers have been offered jobs for the season at the Long Island club. Some, such as bartender-investor Paul Coyne, will make the trip north for the summer and then return to Miami Beach. Drew Holshouser, a Coconut Grove native, will stay in South Florida. After a vacation, he'll likely look for free-lance work.
Loren Gallo will stay here, too. He's hoping to promote shows on a part-time basis. "I look at this like we succeeded in doing something. When you see a lot of music, and there's so many memorable shows that come to mind, that's something to be proud of. It's just not permanent, unfortunately," he says.

Yes. I thought that would make sense, no? I guessed that the quorum read forces the slowest of the 3 nodes to keep the pace of the faster ones. But it cant. No matter how small the performance diff is. So it will just fill up. Also when saying 'practically dead' and 'never recovers' I meant for the time I kept the reads up. As soon as I stopped the scan it recovered. It just was not able to recover during the load because for that it would have to become faster that the other nodes and with full queues that just wouldn't happen. By changing the node for every read I would hit the slower node every couple of reads. This forced the client to wait for the slower node. I guess to change that behavior you would need to use something like dynamic snitch and ask only as many peer nodes as necessary to satisfy quorum and only ask other nodes when reads fail. But that would probably increase latency and cause whatever other problems. Since you probably don't want to run the cluster at a load at which the weakest node of a replication group can't keep up I don't think this is an issue at all. Just wanted to prevent others shooting their own foot as I did.

Since all queries could be handled by that node the overall latency is determined by its own and the fastest second node (cause the quorum is satisfied with 2 reads). What will happen than is that after a couple of minutes one of the other two nodes will go in 100% io wait and will drop most of its read messages.

Laconia to consider doing away with primary elections
LACONIA — The Government Operations and Ordinances Committee of the City Council last night agreed to direct the City Attorney to draft changes to the City Charter that would either eliminate primary elections altogether or authorize the City Clerk to declare a primary election unnecessary if no more than two candidates file for any particular office.
City Clerk Mary Reynolds initiated the proposal in response to the cost of conducting primary elections, at which very few voters cast ballots.
Once the proposed amendments to the charter are drafted, the committee will present a recommendation to the City Council, which will decide whether to begin the process of amending the charter, which includes a holding public hearing on the proposed changes and placing the question on the general election ballot in November.
The Government Operations and Ordinances Committee is chaired by Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1) and includes Councilors David Bownes (Ward 2) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6). None of the committee members expressed a position either for or against eliminating or changing the primary election process.
In 1995 voters amended the City Charter to eliminate partisan elections, in which party caucuses nominated the candidates for mayor and City Council, and instead hold primary elections to choose the two candidates who appeared on the general election ballot. Primaries for city offices are held in September of odd-numbered years.
In a memorandum, Reynolds explained that since the change was introduced, relatively few primary elections have been contested, and very few voters have cast ballots. For example, in 1997, when the first primary was held, only one candidate entered the primary for City Council in each of the six wards and only two candidates entered the mayoral primary. With no contested races, just 7 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
In the eight primary elections between 1997 and 2011 voter turnout has averaged 9 percent. In 2001, when turnout reached a high of 18 percent there were four candidates for mayor, along with five city council candidates in Ward 3, three in Wards 4 and 5 and two in Ward 6. In three of the past eight elections — in 2003, 2009 and 2011 — primary elections were held even though there were not more than two candidates for either mayor or any of the six council seats. In 2011, only 259 of 8,422, or 3 percent of registered voters went to the polls, just 21 of them in Ward 2 and another 22 in Ward 5, at a cost to the city of approximately $39 a vote.
Last year when there were three candidates for mayor but no more than two for any of six city council seats the turnout was 6 percent.
Along with the mayor and city councilors, primary elections are also held to nominate candidates for the the seven seats on the School Board, whose members serve staggered terms, requiring a primary every year, and three seats on the Police Commission.
Reynolds said that cost of conducting municipal primary elections is approximately $8,600, which does not include about $1,000 for police details at the polling stations at Woodland Heights Elementary School and Laconia Middle School. The cost consists of $3,900 for printing ballots, $1,000 for materials at polling stations and $3,700 in wages of poll workers.
Laconia is one of three of the state's 13 cities to conduct municipal primary elections. In both the other two — Manchester and Keene —the charters authorize the city clerk to deem a primary election election unnecessary if no more than two candidates file for any particular office.
To spare taxpayers the cost of elections that more often than not are unnecessary, Reynolds proposed either adopting the procedure followed by Manchester and Keene or abandoning primary elections entirely.
When the committee met Bownes said he had received a phone call from former mayor and councilor Matt Lahey, who he described as "very much opposed" to eliminating or changing the primary process. Lahey, he explained, considers "the costs of holding the primary minimal compared to the possible consequences of doing away with them."
According to Bownes, Lahey harkened back to the election of the "Straight Arrows," claiming it proved "contentious and costly." His fear, Bownes continued, is that without a primary two "reasonable people" could file for office and a third candidate of "a particular persuasion" could join the race. The two like-minded candidates could split the vote, leading to the election of "a radical, a candidate who doesn't really represent the views of the a majority of voters in the ward."
In other words, Bownes said that Lahey believes that without a primary there is a risk that two-thirds of the vote could be split two ways, enabling a candidate representing a minority perspective to win the election.
"I'm just expressing a point of view," Bownes insisted. "I'm not sure where I come down this."
Bolduc countered that holding a primary would not prevent a minority candidate who mounted an aggressive write-in campaign from winning a general election against one or two declared candidates on the ballot.
"Write-in candidates," Bownes replied, "are different animals."

Belmont selectmen decline to sponsor block grant for study of Gale School
BELMONT — Selectmen last night unanimously opposed being the sponsor of a federal community development block grant that would pay for a feasibility study for the Gale School.
Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin told the selectmen she had spoken to Shaker Regional School District Superintendent Maria Dreyer and the private Save the Gale School Committee about sponsoring a possible U.S.D.A. Community Development Block Grant for $12,000, but said she needed selectmen's approval.
"How can we asked for a grant for a building we don't own?" asked Selectman Jon Pike.
Beaudin explained that a school district can't apply for a CDBG grant, but a municipality can. She said the town would only be a sponsor, but would not fill out the application and she was only acting as a conduit between the School District the CDBG.
The town doesn't own the Gale School. It is owned by the Shaker Regional School District and is on School District property. Built about 120 years ago, there has been a movement afoot to relocate the school to a corner lot near the Belmont Middle and Elementary School campus.
According to a letter sent to the town on Aug. 16, 2013, and made public at a Shaker Regional School Board meeting, the Gale School is eligible for the National Register, a determination made in 1985.
The letter said the Gale School "was listed ... as an important Colonial Revival-style building in the town. Many of these resources have irreplaceable architectural detail and historic import to the town."
In 1977, the Shaker District built Belmont Elementary School and relegated the Gale School to be used for cold storage.
Selectmen contended last night that while there have been a number of attempts to find the money to save the old school or possibly relocate it, there has never been any hint of evidence that the School District would spend the money needed to restore or relocate it.
"We don't own it, we don't see a use, and the town isn't willing (to spend any money on it)," said Selectman Ron Cormier who is the selectman's representative to the Heritage Commission, and is at odds with its other members who want to find a way to preserve the building.
He said he would support some kind of effort to save the bell tower and incorporate it into something in the village area. Others, including some members of the Shaker School Board and selectmen have, echoed this sentiment.
Cormier also said there have already been a number of feasibility studies done on the school and for selectmen to sanction another one by sponsoring a federal grant would be a "wild goose chase."
"Eventually, if we keep dragging it on maybe the building will collapse into itself," he said.
Selectmen's Chair Ruth Mooney said that if the School District is so interested in saving the school then they need to do the work.
Pike agreed, saying that if the town sponsors the grant it will be "sticking its neck out" and possible be on the hook for the entire restoration, especially since the Save the Gale School is private and its members can "walk away at any time."
"I'm not in favor of having a public hearing," said Mooney, referring back to Beaudin's original request. Pike and Cormier agreed.
"Just because a building is old, it doesn't need to be saved," Cormier said.

Laconia police to pay attention to distracted drivers
LACONIA — Police officials reported they investigated 68 traffic accidents in February, 16 of which were on Union Avenue.
Fifteen of the accidents were caused by unsafe backing up, 11 were caused by skidding, and while 14 were categorized as driver inattention.
Chief Chris Adams said one of the new Problem Oriented Policing (POP) teams is focusing on traffic safety, and driver inattention will be one of the issues the team will address.
He said it is hard to determine when driver inattention is attributable to cell phone use, but said the department is waiting for the state Legislature to decide whether or not cell phone use will continue to be allowed and will address the issue at that time.
"It is illegal to text while driving," Adams said.
Of the 68 accidents reported, 16 occurred on Union Avenue, while there were four each on Court Street, Gilford Avenue, Oak Street, Parade Road, and South Main Street.
Adams said those roadways continue to be streets with the highest accident rates. They are also some of the most traveled streets, and part of the POP project will focus on those areas.
In February, police issued 14 summons and arrests, and issued 205 warnings.

Discussion of meeting minutes leads to dispute for Belknap County Convention
CONCORD — In a brief meeting at the Statehouse this week, recorded by no fewer than four video cameras, the Belknap County Convention approved the minutes of the meeting held on March 4, which began with a dispute over the minutes of the meeting of Feb. 18, when a motion to adopt the 2014 budget recommended by the Belknap County Commissioners fell one vote short.
On the snowy evening of Feb. 18, Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith), who chairs the convention, delayed the start of the meeting 44 minutes for lack of a quorum. While she waited to open the meeting, she arranged for Rep. Guy Comtois (R-Barnstead), who was tending to a failing roof, to participate by telephone.
The issue before the convention was the adoption of the budget prepared by the Republican majority, which trimmed $858,350 from the budget presented by the commission. Shortly after Worsman called the meeting to order, Rep. Beth Arsenault (D-Laconia) moved to adopt the commissioners' budget. The motion failed on a tie vote, seven-to-seven, as two Republicans sided with the five Democrats in support of Arsenault's motion and Comtois, voting by telephone, joined the six Republicans present to force the deadlock.
Within the week the five Democrats asked the Belknap County Superior Court to overturn the vote, charging that Worsman violated the Right-to-Know in allowing Comtois to participate by telephone. Noting that the statute does not require the convention to allow one or members to participate by "electronic means," they claim the decision properly rested with the convention, not the chair. Moreover, they charge that no notice was given to the convention that Comtois would be permitted to participate by telephone nor was the reason he could not be physically present recorded in the minutes as the statute requires.
When the convention next met on March 4 Worsman sought to amend the minutes of meeting of Feb. 18 to show that before the meeting was convened she and other members referred to the Right-to-Know law and discussed the procedure for allowing Comtois to participate by telephone. She proposed adding the following statement: "This was done after consulting RSA 91-A:2 with specific examination/discussion of RSA 91-A:2, III for its permissibility of having Rep. Guy Comtois participate by phone."
Rep. David Huot (D-Laconia) reminded Worsman that at the time there was no quorum and not all those who were present were party to the discussion. Arsenault questioned recording a discussion that took place before the meeting in the minutes. When Worsman's motion to amend the minutes was put to a vote there was much confusion about who was and was not present when the supposed discussion occurred and therefore would be eligible to vote. Ultimately the motion failed five-to-four, with five abstentions. With an eye to the litigation, Worsman tersely noted that the minutes were approved without reference to the discussion of the Right-to-Know law prior to the meeting.
This week, when the convention addressed the minutes of the March 4 meeting, Rep. Ruth Gulick (D-New Hampton) was troubled to find that the discussion of Worsman's attempt to amend the minutes of the Feb. 18 meeting, including the wording she proposed, was recorded.
After a sharp exchange between Gulick and Worsman the convention approved the minutes of the March 4 meeting by a roll call vote of 11 to 6 with one abstention.

Buying Chevron? Consider an Exit Strategy
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you've been reading my articles you know that I'm a proponent of the trading approach of pros like Paul Tudor Jones.
The billionaire hedge-fund trader has a way with words, and the following is one of my favorite quotes attributed to him:
The most important rule of trading is to play great defense, not great offense... I am always thinking about losing money as opposed to making money... Risk control is the most important thing in trading... Never play macho man with the market.
That is precisely the approach I've been taking with Chevron (CVX - Get Report). Since my most recent share purchase of CVX at $104.26 I've kept a 15% stealth trailing stop at a share price level I'm comfortable with.
The trailing stop alert service that I use sends me an email alert when and if the shares of CVX fall 15% (my chosen percentage) below the highest price CVX attains from the time I purchased it. So, for instance, with the shares trading at around $111.65 on Friday, my trailing stop alert order stands ready.
If the shares were to fall from $111.65 to $94.90, I'll receive an alert telling me it's either time to sell or it's time to buy more. I set the parameters, but it's all part of my carefully chosen exit strategy that gives me my version of what Paul Tudor Jones called "risk control." With trailing stops, I'll always know exactly when it's time for me to sell a stock, because I've predetermined at what level or price that will happen. There's no more guessing or operating on unreliable hunches, and it keeps emotions (like fear and greed) out of the decision-making. My renewed resolve is to never again hold on too long to any stock, thus letting small losses get out of hand, or selling too soon and leaving money on the table. Everyone says smart traders "cut their losers and let their winners run," but how many are truly that disciplined? With all that said, I'm delighted that CVX has done well enough for me since I bought my initial shares in my Roth IRA back on Oct. 10, 2012 at $112.53. My trailing stop loss guided me to not panic and sell when the share price fell to as low as $100.66 on Nov. 15. If CVX shares had closed at $95.65 or below that day I would have stuck to my discipline and sold my shares for a barely acceptable 15% loss.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
