The next video ... another 'ramble' ... is on the way ...
to read the full entry | Separate page
Even though the previous video is only a few days old ... I'm already busy with the next one - that gap of over a month was just too long!
When I was thinking about what to feature in this next one, I thought over many of the comments we have been receiving, and there is a repeated pattern - wants to hear more videos like the one I did about old Ito-san the carver. Now I have to mention right up front that I can't simply 're-create' that video ... the experience I had with him was quite unique, including the follow-up after he passed away, so if you want more exactly like that, well I can't really do it ...
But having said that, there are a number of episodes accumulated during the years that I have been playing with Japanese woodblock prints that might be worthy of similar treatment in a video ... When I say 'similar treatment' I mean that I should forget about making a prepared script, just gather together a few items to help me remember the flow of events, get the camera ready, hit the 'record' switch, and tell the story ...
So that's the plan. What will the story be about? Well, there is of course no point in going through the whole thing here, but I can at least show you a few of those 'props' ...
A page from the little travel 'journal' I kept on our first trip to Japan in 1981~2 ...
This is part of the cover wrapping (it was fresh and new when I bought it!) of a print set I saw that day ...
A well-used woodblock ... dating from the early Taisho period:
A clip of a page of a book published here in Japan in 1979 ...
Part of a letter from the designer of that image ...
Is that it? Well ... no. I'm saving the best stuff for the video itself! :-)

At the one year mark of the Patreon campaign ...
to read the full entry | Separate page
It seems difficult for us to believe, but our Patreon campaign has been under way for over a year now. During that period, we have sent out a steady stream of the small prints that we offered as gifts to the backers - the prints we have been calling our 'Patreon Chibies'.
We're now busy printing the second set of design of those prints, and deliveries of those will start any day now. But when we set up the campaign we also promised a very different kind of reward for backers at the $25 (monthly) level - a 'SHARE in the fun CERTIFICATE' - and I've been quite delinquent in getting this ready.
Well, now that we've hit the one year mark, I can't put this off any longer, so production has begun! I'll share some photos over the next few days as we put this together, but here is how it is beginning ...
Here are the three blank blocks that I'll be using the produce the woodblock part of the finished certificate:
And after a couple of hours of work, I'm nearly done ...
What will I do with those blocks when they are ready for printing? I'll show you later, but here is a view of the starting point of the 'base' section of the certificate ... what a mess!

We are grateful that you've chosen the Basilica for your child's Baptism. As Jesus healed the paralytic (Mark 2:5), so too will your child be born anew (John 3:5).
From the Rite of Baptism
Please read the FAQ section below, which answers some of the more commonly asked questions. Then fill out and submit the Baptism Request Form.
Q. How old can the child be? A. From infant to five years of age. If the child is older than five years, and you are not a registered member of the Basilica parish, you will need to contact your local parish and register your child in their religious education program.
Q. Who can be a godparent? A. Canon Law requires only one godparent, who must be a practicing Catholic and active in their parish.
To be a practicing and active Catholic means:
If there are to be 2 Godparents, one must be male, and the other must be female. If one of the godparents is not Catholic, but is a baptized Christian, they may serve as a Christian witness to the baptism along with the Catholic godparent. Note: the parents of the baby to be baptized may not serve as godparents. Also, it is not permitted to have more than 2 godparents.
Q. Do the godparents need to fill out any paperwork in order to officially serve as godparents?
A. Yes! They must have this form filled out by the pastor of their parish. It must be sealed with the parish seal and mailed to us 1 month prior to the baptism at:
Baltimore Basilica c/o Maura Belton 320 Cathedral Street Baltimore, MD 21201
Q. When can I register for the preparation class? A. After we receive and review your completed baptism registration form, you will be contacted by the parish office. Basilica Baptismal Preparation classes are held on the 1st Sunday of each month by appointment only. Call our Office Manager at us 410-547-5523. Both parents and godparents MUST attend a preparation class.
Q. After I complete the required paperwork and attend the class, what happens next? A. Unless you have arranged for an alternate date, baptisms will take place on the 2nd Sunday of each month following the 10:45 AM Mass. You will need to confirm that your child is scheduled for an agreed upon baptism date and time before making arrangements.
Q. How much does it cost? A. There is no fee for a sacrament. However, the parish depends on your generosity. A donation is always greatly appreciated. $50-100 is a typical donation
Opus fac Evangelistæ (Do the Work of an Evangelist)
The Basilica of the Assumption is a historic and vibrant Roman Catholic parish. We exist to invite others into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; to form holy friendships in our community; to teach the Catholic faith; and to worship God with all our heart, mind, and soul. Each member of our parish cherishes:
As the first Catholic Cathedral in the United States and a Marian National Shrine, the Basilica places all things under the motherly guidance of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Because top 10 lists are for cowards.

As I was researching this list, I was surprised to find that no one's ever done it before. I guess not everyone has quite my masochistic appetite. I love doing the grammar lists… and I brace myself knowing the onslaught of scrutiny that will follow. It happened after

and then again after

Will it happen here? To be determined. Movies are a unifying target — 11 Movie Titles With Numbers Awkwardly Substituted For Letters was a big success — so maybe my grammar won't be under fire.
On a side note, is what they would've called if it had starred Steven Seagal.
Now, on to the list.
or would both be correct. The title is not. That also applies to and — but is fine. One out of four isn't that bad. (Well, it's bad if you ask a baseball player. Or Meat Loaf. But not me. I think it's fine.)
Looks like the on-screen chemistry of Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant was enough to melt the apostrophe right off!
Wait… what's that? They had horrible chemistry? Oh. In that case, I guess the studio just forgot the apostrophe. Carry on.
When the movie had its theatrical release, they left out the hyphen between "40" and "Year." Thereby not making the title about a 40-year-old man who's a virgin but rather about 40 one-year-old virgins. Which isn't a subject that raunchy buddy comedies need to tackle.
By leaving out the question mark, this title brought Abbott and Costello right back to life. If Who framed Roger Rabbit, I'm sure What was his accomplice and I Don't Know drove the getaway car.
certainly wouldn't sound as badass. And when you're trash talking because you and your friends just *outdanced* someone, you need all the badassedness boosts you can get.
Well, one of 'em has got to be wrong. I'd say it's the latter; and I'm guessing they didn't use the proper colon because they didn't want this to come out looking like a SAT analogy…
Needs a hyphen between "Law" and "Abiding." Otherwise, technically, the law is abiding the citizen. Which is kind of accurate, given the movie. The law just kind of abides Gerard Butler until he finally goes too far. Frankly, the law abides more than the citizen is law-abiding. Maybe it wasn't an error after all.
As longtime readers know, I love this movie. Love it. But it needs an apostrophe. Since it means a "man of the ladies," he's a ladies' man. Some kind of "woman's dude," if you will.
Without a hyphen, this movie isn't about spiders but rather about eight freaks with legs. (Which might describe the eight people who actually went and saw this. Cheap shot!)
I can't guarantee this one's an error, but it very well could be. If it's part of the sentence "Did you cry because of Marley and me?" then is correct. But if it's part of the sentence "Marley and me were debating which one of us was going to die first and decided it was definitely Marley," then it should be .
This was a grammatical disaster by design. But this brings me to an important point about — I'm not sure why they felt compelled to go with this title. The movie really isn't about a bunch of kids looking forward to the future. Other than (sort of) Ethan Embry's character and (sort of) Mike Dexter, the main characters are all focused on either capitalizing on the present or getting retribution for the past. If the title to feature a youth-pandering grammar error, why not go with or or or ?

Prosecutor says tot was told to stay mum in abuse videoBy JAMES KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
March 07. 2013 12:53AM
BRENTWOOD - A video allegedly recorded by Roland Dow has led to him and girlfriend, Jessica Linscott, being investigated for felony witness-tampering after prosecutors said they coached Linscott's 3-year-old son in what he could say about being abused by the pair.
Assistant County Attorney Michael Zaino said police found the computer video file while executing a search warrant on a home computer. The video was recorded just moments before a worker from the state Department of Children, Youth and Families arrived at the home Oct. 23 for a well-being check on the toddler, Zaino said.
About 20 minutes of the video shows Dow and Linscott speaking to James Nicholson. The camera, hidden under a couch, stayed on when the DCYF worker arrived and secretly recorded her visit, according to Zaino.
"Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott are speaking at different times," Zaino said. "The conversation ranges over lots of topics, but (includes) very specifically what he is allowed to say, what he is not allowed to say. He is not allowed to say he knew she was coming. It ranges from whether he gets bloody noses; whether he gets spanked, this takes up a span of 20 minutes."
The couple fled to Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla., after dropping off the severely injured boy at Exeter Hospital in November, sparking a national search over two weeks. Their latest troubles came to light during a bail hearing for Linscott Wednesday in Rockingham County Superior Court, where the young mother sought permission to call and write her son. Prosecutors argued against Linscott, 23, of Plaistow having any contact with Nicholson, and revealed they are pursuing felony witness-tampering charges against her and Dow.
The case will likely go before a Rockingham County grand jury.
Public defenders cast Linscott on Wednesday as a victim of abuse herself - claims that were supported by Linscott's uncle, and Nicholson's maternal grandmother.
Public defender Deanna Campbell said Linscott had a black eye when she was apprehended alongside Dow at Universal Studios on Nov. 28.
"It wasn't until later that she reported the abuse," Campbell said. "These allegations are extremely serious. Extremely disturbing. She is not the same person she was when she was in that relationship."
Campbell said Linscott is now taking parenting classes and working with a domestic violence counselor while being held on $100,000 bail at the Strafford County jail in Dover. Linscott's goal is to have a relationship again with her son, Campbell said.
Zaino argued that James Nicholson could be called as a state witness during the trials of his mother and Dow, and that contact with his mother could taint his potential testimony. He said that the video demonstrated that Linscott has been willing to coerce her son in the past. Linscott now faces the prospect of state prison time after first being charged with six misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Dow, her 27-year-old boyfriend, is headed to trial next month on charges of first- and second-degree assault for allegedly striking Nicholson in the head and burning the boy's wrists and fingers.
Part of Wednesday's hearing was determined to be non-public by Judge Marguerite Wageling. State law allows for matters concerning the Division of Children, Youth and Families to be shielded from the public. Afterward, Wageling said she was not assured by the defense on whether Nicholson would be protected from any kind of coercion.
"I have concerns about the nature of the supervision - with no disrespect to state agencies involved," she said. "This case needs to be further down the road and Miss Linscott needs to be healthier," Wageling added. "I am not assured at this point."
Wageling decided that Linscott will be able to write letters to her son, but they first must be sent to county prosecutors before being passed on to the boy's therapist.
Linscott and Dow are expected to each face two counts of witness tampering for the computer video recovered by investigators. Each charge is a Class B felony, punishable by 3½ to seven years in state prison.

Jury overrules panel, awards malpractice verdict in son's deathBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 12. 2013 9:02PM
MANCHESTER — A Hillsborough County jury issued a $1.5 medical malpractice verdict in a medical malpractice case last week, disregarding the findings of a special panel that had earlier sided with the cardiologist being sued, according to the lawyer who brought the case.
The verdict was the first time that a jury snubbed the unanimous decision of a medical malpractice panel, said Joseph McDowell, the Manchester lawyer who brought the case against Dr. Alan Gartska and his practice, NH Cardiology Consultants.
The practice was sued by the parents of William Landry Jr., a healthy, 36-year-old Manchester factory worker who suffered two fainting spells in April and September 2004. He visited the cardiac practice, which is now Elliot Cardiovascular Consultants, three times and they did not perform the proper tests, McDowell said.
"They told him there was nothing wrong with him from a cardiac point of view," McDowell said.
Landry died in June 2005.
New Hampshire Chief Medical Examiner Thomas Andrew testified that he found a lesion on Landry's heart during an autopsy, McDowell said. Andrew said Landry probably developed heart disease in September 2004, McDowell said.
Medical malpractice panels started hearing malpractice claims in 2007. A retired judge, physician and lawyer hear the case in secret and without formal courtroom procedures. The panel decision is non-binding, but is designed to encourage the two sides to settle.
The law says that juries can hear about the panel's decision if it is unanimous.
"I really don't know," McDowell said when asked why the jury went against the panel's decision in the Landry case. He said the jury trial involved more witnesses; the evidence had not been completely gathered when the panel heard the case in 2009.
A telephone call left for Gartska's lawyer, Michael Pignatelli of Nashua, was not returned.
Malpractice panels
The malpractice panels are favored by insurance companies and the health care industry. They were opposed by personal-injury lawyers, who see them as an additional, expensive step before a case goes to trial.
"This case clearly proves the panel system doesn't take away a person's day in court," said Dr. Travis Harker, president of the New Hampshire Medical Society. "It clearly shows they can have their day in court and win."
He said the malpractice panel law went into effect in 2005; the first case was heard in 2007.
Harker said the most recent available data for New Hampshire — up to September 2012 — show that malpractice panels heard 213 cases. Of those, 163 resulted in unanimous decisions, 112 in favor of the doctor or hospital.
No settlement offered
Harker said most practitioner errors are innocent mistakes. Patients deserve to get compensated in a timely fashion, but a wait of five to seven years hurts them and the physician, he said.
"Doctors want to do the right thing, and they want to help their patients," he said.
McDowell said Gartska's lawyer never offered a settlement, especially not after the malpractice panel decision. It took four years to bring the case to a jury after the malpractice panel decision.
"I didn't say much," McDowell said about his remarks to the jury about the panel decision. "I told them up front that under the constitution, my clients were entitled to a jury trial."

UPDATED: Mazzaglia guilty of first-degree murder, other charges; Marriott family speaks outBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
June 27. 2014 7:56PM
DOVER — A jury on Friday convicted Seth Mazzaglia of murdering University of New Hampshire sophomore Elizabeth 'Lizzi' Marriott at his apartment after trying to force her into a sexual encounter with him and his girlfriend.
Mazzaglia, 31, of Dover, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and charges of conspiracy of falsifying physical evidence and conspiracy to commit tampering with witnesses.
Jurors reached their verdict in Strafford County Superior Court shortly before 12:30 p.m. just minutes after they posed a question to Judge Steven Houran related to conspiracy charges in the case.
Mazzaglia faces an automatic sentence of life without parole on the first-degree murder conviction.
Sentencing will come later, but the reaction about the jury's verdict was immediate from members of Marriott's family.
Bob Marriott, Elizabeth Marriott's father, said he was thankful that the jury returned the first-degree murder conviction.
"It will keep the convict in prison for the rest of his life," Marriott said to a room full of reporters moments after the verdict. "Keeping him off the streets protects other young women who might be additional victims, which is what we hoped for."
Lizzi Marriott died on Oct. 9, 2012, after being invited to hang out with her friend, Kathryn McDonough, who was Mazzaglia's live-in girlfriend. According to McDonough's testimony, Marriott played a game of strip poker with the couple but rebuffed sexual advances by Mazzaglia before she was strangled to death by him.
Friday's conviction marked a significant victory for state prosecutors, who amassed a case against Mazzaglia without Marriott's body, which typically would provide critical physical evidence for a jury to consider.
"We all wanted to bring Lizzi home, but we were unable to do so," Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward said.
Before the verdict was read in court, Mazzaglia remained stone faced as he was led from the rear of the court gallery under sheriff's guard to the defense table. He was brought over from the county jail — across the street — after the jury weighed his fate for one and a half days. The seven women and five men had three questions over the course of their deliberations.
Mazzaglia stood beside his public defenders and offered no reaction when the jury read off its first conviction for first-degree murder.
A deputy handcuffed Mazzaglia in front of the jury and held onto the cuffs while jurors filed out of the courtroom.
The jury spent 19 days listening to witness testimony about Mazzaglia's belief that he had various personas — with names like Doomsday and Dark Kaiser — and a sex life that included bondage and asphyxiation.
McDonough, who was the state's key witness, admitted during her testimony that she helped submerged Marriott's body in the Piscataqua River from the shores of Peirce Island in Portsmouth.
McDonough is serving a 1½ to 3 years in state prison after pleading guilty to charges that she lied during the investigation and thwarted a probe into Marriott's disappearance.
Mazzaglia's lawyers maintained during the trial that McDonough was the one actually responsible for the killing and changed her story repeatedly during the investigation.
The verdict summarily rejected the defense's claim that Marriott was a willing participant in Mazzaglia's sexual escapade. McDonough testified that Mazzaglia ordered her to lure another woman to their apartment for sex. It was McDonough's punishment for being away from Mazzaglia for roughly 12 days while she worked as a counselor at a theater camp.
"Unfortunately, the trial cannot console us with loss of Lizzi," Bob Marriott said. "We will always miss her and wonder what could have been. In fact, the trial has been torturous. The truth of what happened to Lizzi is horrendous and every time it is told, it has reinforced our despair."
Marriott also questioned the moral and ethical choices by Mazzaglia's defense team for casting his daughter as a willing participant in the sexual encounter.
"If you are dead, you cannot correct a mischaracterization," Marriott said.
Ward thanked a cross-section of local and state law enforcement agencies that participated in the vast search for Marriott's body and the investigation that led eventually led to Mazzaglia's arrest.
He refused to take further questions, saying the state is still pursuing one more case against Mazzaglia.
Mazzaglia is expected to face trial on a criminal solicitation charge for allegedly trying to get another inmate at the Strafford County jail in December 2012 to participate in a violent, armed escape prior to the murder trial.

The face of Guatemalan hunger is young, female, indigenous and rural.
Guatemala has the highest chronic undernutrition rate in Latin America and the Caribbean, and fourth in the world. The situation worsens in rural areas where chronic undernutrition reaches 55 percent and 69 percent among indigenous populations. In the highlands of the country, seven out of ten children under 5 are chronically undernourished.
The country ranks 122 out of 182 countries in the 2009 Human Development Index (HDR, 2009). Inequity threatens development, and national health services cover approximately 60 percent of the country; most of the rural areas lack water and sanitation systems and have limited access to an adequate diet due to income restrictions. In rural areas, the minimum wage covers around 75 percent of the basic food basket. Poverty affects 51 percent of the population; extreme poverty affects 15 percent.
Guatemala is prone to natural disasters: droughts, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and frosts are recurrent events which affect livelihoods of population living in vulnerable areas. In October 2008, Tropical Depression Nº 16 affected four departments of the country. In 2009, a severe drought in the so called "dry corridor" affected mainly nine departments and in 2010 two major events --Pacaya Volcano eruption and Tropical Storm Agatha-- evidenced the vulnerability of the country by affecting 21 of the country's 22 departments. Floods caused the loss of lives, housing, crops and communication infrastructures, and severely affected more than 150,000 people.
An Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted in August by WFP, the Government and other humanitarian partners revealed that some 330,000 people will need food assistance in the coming months in order to subsist.
WFP Activities
WFP's presence in Guatemala responds to priorities identified in coordination with the government to benefit the most vulnerable populations. WFP's activities in Guatemala are geared towards reducing food insecurity, improving the nutritional status of mothers and children under 5 and living conditions of vulnerable groups by increasing agricultural productivity and farmer's marketing practices.
- Emergency Operation: WFP launched an Emergency Operation which distributes 12,675 metric tons of life-saving food to affected children and women of 40,000 families, from March to September 2010 in 50 municipalities, in coordination with the Government, the Humanitarian Network, EU and Private Volunteer Organisations supported by the US Agency for International Development.
- Mother and Child Vitacereal™: Supports the National Strategy to Reduce Chronic Undernutrition with the provision of Vitacereal™ (a locally produced, fortified and blended food) to 100,000 children aged 6 to 35 months and 50,000 pregnant or lactating women, in areas with more than 60 percent chronic undernutrition.
- Regional Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation: Provides assistance to food-insecure populations and particularly, 25,000 families whose livelihoods were affected by 2009 severe drought, following the Government of Guatemala's declaration of a "state of public calamity" on September 8, 2009.
- Country Programme: In order to reduce chronic undernutrition 45,500 beneficiaries will receive supplementary feeding and 12,000 subsistence farmers will be assisted to improve livelihoods starting 2011. The Country Programme will connect 3,000 small farmers to the markets.
- Purchase for Progress: Targets 3,700 members of 36 small farmers' organizations, aiming to build links between farmers and markets and encourage group marketing. Grain quantity and quality are improved through best practices and post harvest management. Training modules emphasizes marketing and management skills, strengthening of farmers' organizations, and women's participation in decision-making positions. Learn more
- Food Facility Programme: Seeks to improve agricultural production and the nutritional status of children and pregnant or lactating women. The Programme promotes good agricultural practices, technical assistance to small farmers and training on administrative aspects and markets, with the involvement of local authorities. It also promotes prevention strategies on malnutrition, and communication activities for behaviour change.
Beneficiaries include 4,000 organized farmers; 100,000 children and 50,000 pregnant or lactating women; and 8,000 subsistence farmers.

Honeywell CEO, a Manchester native, takes on deficit, Social Security crisisBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 11. 2013 8:06PM
MANCHESTER - As a young executive, David Cote, now chairman and CEO of Honeywell, was discussing the federal deficit with college students when he predicted that because of his income, he would not be collecting Social Security when he retired.
His income has grown considerably since then; the federal deficit looms larger than ever; but Cote will collect a monthly Social Security check when he retires, despite a multimillion-dollar nest egg.
At the time Cote made his prediction, New Hampshire Sen. Warren Rudman and other members of the Concord Coalition were warning that "means testing" for Social Security would be one of many steps necessary to save the program from insolvency as baby boomers retired in massive numbers.
After a speech before the same Concord Coalition on Monday at St. Anselm College, Cote recalled his prediction as a way of emphasizing how intractable the federal deficit has become.
High stakes
A Manchester native and 1976 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Cote has become one of the most prominent advocates for deficit and debt reduction. He was appointed by President Obama to serve as the CEO representative on the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, often called Simpson-Bowles from the names of co-chairs Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, and is now active with the Fix the Debt organization.
Cote stands behind the Simpson-Bowles recommendations, which combined spending cuts with tax increases and entitlement reforms, but did not muster enough political support to become law. With Simpson-Bowles on the shelf, Cote turned his energies toward Fix the Debt.
"Once I knew the size of the problem and how big an issue it was, I continued to stay very vocal about it," he said in an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader editorial board. "How do you walk away from this kind of issue when the stakes are so high?"
Encouraging compromise
Cote called Fix the Debt a successor to Simpson-Bowles. While Simpson-Bowles was specific in its recommendations, Fix the Debt is not offering solutions, just encouraging political compromise on taxes, spending and entitlement reform.
If politicians can't come to some agreement on long-term deficit and debt reduction, he said, they should allow automatic cuts to take place - the so-called sequester - which would indiscriminately cut $50 billion each from both defense and domestic spending every year for the next 10 years.
The deadlock in Washington has to be broken, he said, before the bond rating agencies downgrade U.S. debt and investors flock to alternatives, pushing interest rates up and creating the conditions for inflation and recession at the same time.
"We can address this thoughtfully and pro-actively, or we can wait for the bond market to do it," he said. "You can't predict when the herd will turn against you, and when it happens, at that point, it's too late."
Although the automatic cuts of sequestration would result in job losses, the alternative would be even more damaging to the economy, he said. "The short-term pain from sequestration is more than offset by benefits in 2014, 15 and 16."
Mobilizing voters
The main goal of Fix the Debt is to mobilize voters to demand both spending cuts and entitlement reform from politicians. Cote said the reluctance of politicians to compromise is due at least in part to the message they are getting from voters, and that message has to change.
"If you have people saying, 'Don't raise my taxes, but don't cut my benefits,' it makes it really difficult to get anything done," he said. "Washington is ruled by fear of voters ... and the three 'h's' prevail - hysteria, histrionics and hyperbole."
Cote experienced some of that hyperbole himself when a young protester at Monday's forum shouted out, "Don't take away my Social Security."
"Actually, I'm trying to save her Social Security," he said afterward, "because the way we are going, she isn't going to have any. The people who are going to get hurt the most if this debt keeps getting out of control are those most in need."

PTSD sidelines first-responder to shooting of Manchester police officerBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 19. 2013 7:28PM
MANCHESTER - Myles Webster didn't kill Dan Doherty when he shot the Manchester police officer on the West Side last year. But Webster did kill the career of Manchester police Officer Eric Beland.
Last month, Beland quietly took a disability retirement after 22 years with the Manchester Police Department, unable to work because of the post-traumatic stress disorder that followed Doherty's shooting.
Beland, 46, was one of three officers who first arrived at the shooting scene and worked to keep Doherty alive in those critical minutes. Beland returned to work the next day, determined to take the shooting in stride and assist the investigation.
Soon, the symptoms started, Beland said. When he closed his eyes, he saw Doherty shot on the ground. He could barely sleep, and when he did, visions of the wounded Doherty roused him. He thought and talked about Doherty nonstop.
And then came seizure-like episodes, when his eyes would go blank, he'd utter guttural noises, his arm would twitch, and he'd collapse. In fact, Beland collapsed in May 2012 when Mayor Ted Gatsas was giving awards to the drug unit, where Beland had worked for 12 years.
"I didn't realize at the time what I saw," Beland said about the wounded Doherty. "I just wasn't mentally prepared for it. It was horrifying to me."
Long associated with war veterans, PTSD is gaining a foothold among people with no exposure to war. The recently released fifth edition of the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" adds language that specifically mentions first responders and rape victims, according to the Vermont-headquartered National Center for PTSD, which is part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
It also adds a new diagnosis for children younger than 6.
Paula Schnurr, a psychologist and deputy director of National Center for PTSD, said the diagnosis of PTSD first appeared in 1980. It has grown in acceptance since then, especially after 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, she said.
"There's a greater recognition that PTSD exists and is something that can happen to anyone," said Schnurr, whose office operates out of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in White River Junction, Vt.
Between 6 percent and 7 percent of the adult population will have the disorder at some point in their lives, she said.
Emergency aid
Beland and two other police officers arrived seconds after Doherty was shot. Officers Brandon Murphy and Thomas Gonzalez worked on his legs, where five bullets had struck Doherty. Beland handled everything above the waist.
Beland talked to Doherty to maintain his consciousness; he tried to joke that it was only a flesh wound. He removed Doherty's shirt and vest while the officer screamed in pain. He looked into the eyes of a face that was turning color.
"'He's turning gray' ... 'He's passing out,'" the officers would tell each other.
At home that night, Beland said, he cried with his family and thought the trauma would work itself out. But he talked about Doherty nonstop and wanted to visit him frequently.
"Anyone else was nonexistent. This went on for weeks," said his wife, Selene Beland. "Myself, my kids and officers that worked with Eric knew something was wrong."
On April 16, Beland collapsed in his bathroom. The following month, he collapsed during the ceremony with Gatsas, and it seemed obvious his career was over. With one child in college and the other in high school, Beland said, he was not ready to retire.
Traumatic duty
A Manchester native, Beland joined the police department after graduating from St. Anselm College. He was one of the first on a bicycle patrol. As a detective, he worked the Mary Stetson murder, a case in which the victim's torso was found in a West Side river.
He also was a crime scene photographer, exposing him to blood splatters and dead bodies. And as a detective in the drug unit, he notified people when their loved ones died of drug overdoses.
"Every single case I looked at, I looked at in a clinical way," Beland said. His colleagues warned that he would take his work home with him, and he did. He brought files home to work late at night, but it never affected him, he said.
Police Chief David Mara said Beland did invaluable work in the drug unit, doing much of the behind-the-scenes work that takes place with prosecutors once an arrest is made. "He was one of three people who saved an officer's life. In my opinion, they acted heroically," Mara said.
He said police officers are more likely to suffer divorce, heart attacks, diabetes and suicide. In the past, the culture was to suck it up and deal with it, but that only made the problem worse, he said.
Now, the department has 15 officers who are trained peer counselors, he said.
"We recognize that police officers, firemen, first responders ... you think of what they do on a daily basis, it can have an effect on them," he said.
Settlement reached
Beland was on workers' compensation since his collapse, and last month the city made a $100,000 payment to settle any future claims, Beland said. The city remains responsible for any health care bills related to the PTSD, he said.
He now collects disability retirement, which uses a more generous formula than a standard retirement. His monthly pension is about $3,940, according to the state retirement system. He said the settlement will pay for health and dental insurance for his family. He noted his wife had to quit her job as a medial secretary to help care for him.
Beland said he is improving. He started out with 10 seizures a day; it's now down to a few a week. He knows what triggers them and tries to avoid them - bright lights, loud noises, large crowds.
"It has to stop on its own," Beland said about his seizures. "My brain has abnormal, unbalanced energy, and it has to get rid of it. It's like my brain throwing up."
For months, Beland fought the notion of PTSD, he said. He blamed his seizures on physical problems, and he believed he would quickly recover. But after reading about the ailment, he came to accept it. He said everyone in the police department and City Hall has been understanding.
According to records available at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration website, 1 out of every 20,000 full-time municipal government workers in 2011, which would include police officers, lost time at work because of PTSD. Across the country, that amounted to 530 workers, the OSHA statistics say.
Schnurr said some people still resist a PTSD diagnosis. "The message to get across is this is a normal reaction," she said. PTSD is treatable, and most patients improve over time, she said.
Beland remains on six medications and sees three clinicians: a neurologist, a therapist and an "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapist," who uses a treatment that teaches the brain to file away traumatic events correctly.
Beland said he can never return to police work, but he doesn't want to stay retired.
He wants to write a book about his experiences with PTSD as a police officer. He also is considering drug-and-alcohol counseling, a profession that would allow him to help out the kind of people he often arrested - street-level junkies who sold drugs to support their habits.
Recently, he went to New Hampshire Technical Institute to discuss the certificate program.
"It was so nice getting up to meet with them," Beland said. "I felt I had a purpose again."

'You lie!' Many can't keep their insurance
October 29. 2013 5:50PM
When President Obama said in 2009 that if you liked your health insurance, you could keep it, he was lying. This was no secret. It was pointed out repeatedly at the time. U.S. Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., an orthopedic surgeon and professor of medicine, did a whole Republican weekly radio broadcast on it back then.
Price and others pointed out that Obamacare created strong incentives for insurers to cancel people's coverage. That is exactly what has happened — just as the Obama administration knew it would.
As NBC News reported on Tuesday, "the administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them."
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson was right when he shouted "You lie!" during the President's 2009 State of the Union address, he just picked the wrong time to shout it. It's nice to see the media catching up four years later.

STOCKTON — Caroline Toe became visibly emotional Monday afternoon and couldn't bear to be standing in the spot in her laundry room where, just one week ago today, a man she rented a room to in her home allegedly pulled out a shotgun and started firing for no apparent reason, striking her and her husband.
STOCKTON — Caroline Toe became visibly emotional Monday afternoon and couldn't bear to be standing in the spot in her laundry room where, just one week ago today, a man she rented a room to in her home allegedly pulled out a shotgun and started firing for no apparent reason, striking her and her husband.
Toe, 32, the mother of three young children, came home from the hospital for the first time Monday after suffering two serious wounds to the left side of her abdomen and her left hip. Her husband, Marley Bah, 39, was treated and released that same day but still carries three shotgun pellets in his torso that doctors say would do too much damage to remove.
That double shooting brought out the Stockton police SWAT team to search for the shooter and closed down a portion of West Bianchi Road for three hours last Tuesday morning.
Dwight Smith, 25, identified by police as the fugitive they were seeking, turned himself in Sunday to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office and was transferred to the San Joaquin County Jail on Monday.
Stockton police reported Smith was concerned after seeing his photo on news reports multiple times. He has been booked on suspicion of two counts of attempted homicide and making criminal threats.
Police also reported Monday the shotgun he allegedly used was found later on the day of the shooting.
Toe, a native of Liberia, and Bah, a Comcast technician originally from Gambia, said they were not acquainted with Smith and had no idea he had a shotgun in their home. His room was a converted garage separated from the rest of the house by the laundry room that has access to the outside. He lived in the room with his wife, Carrie Smith, and a 6-year-old boy.
The Smith family was being charged $450 a month rent, according to Toe, but had only paid a $50 security deposit and indicated they would be moving to Oakland by March 1.
Toe gave this account:
The morning of the shooting, Toe said, she had just returned home from dropping her children off at school when she witnessed Smith and his wife breaking through the wood fence at the back of the property from the opposite side. She asked them what they were doing but didn't get a response. The next thing she remembers, she was in her laundry room when Smith came out of his room and, for reasons she can't explain, just started firing.
"I thought I was going to die. I don't want to die," Toe said, holding back tears while recalling her feelings. She said she pleaded with him: "I don't have no money. ... Who's going to pay?"
As Smith opened fire on Toe, Bah was standing in the kitchen on the other side of the laundry room wall. He was apparently hit with one of the same shotgun blasts that struck Toe.
Smith then entered the kitchen in what the family believes was an attempt to kill Bah, chasing him out the front door toward Bianchi Road while firing another shotgun blast. Meanwhile, Toe went outside through the laundry room door and collapsed on a neighbor's lawn as a passing motorist stopped to render aid and call 911.
While the couple can't explain Smith's actions, they were extremely thankful that no children were in the home during the shooting incident.
"God is good," Toe said, indicating that her family intends to move out of the home as soon as they can.

Mother of drowned baby gets prison timeBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
June 17. 2013 9:39PM
NASHUA — The Merrimack mother whose 8-month-old baby boy drowned in an unattended bathtub nearly two years ago was sentenced Monday to 5 to 10 years in prison.
In court on Monday, Melissa Gutierrez, 28, apologized for her negligence, saying she hopes to turn her life around so that her baby's death wasn't in vain.
"It is something that eats me alive every single minute of every day," Gutierrez said while taking the stand during her plea and sentencing hearing at Hillsborough County Superior Court.
In a negotiated plea, Gutierrez pleaded guilty to one count of negligent homicide, while additional charges of manslaughter, two counts of reckless conduct and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child were not prosecuted for the drowning incident Aug. 25, 2011, at 46 Wilson Hill Road in Merrimack.
Police alleged that Gutierrez left her two children, an 8-month-old baby and a 2-year-old boy, unattended in the bathtub for an extended period of time with the water running.
The youngest boy, Christian N'Tapalis, drowned as a result of her negligence, police said.
The older boy, James Blackington III, was placed in state custody after the incident because his father is deceased. He is now 4.
"I am sorry. I would tell him that I am sorry and that it wasn't supposed to be that way," said Gutierrez, apologizing repeatedly for the drowning. "I love him. I love him."
Following a lengthy and emotional testimony about Gutierrez's challenged childhood, life with drugs and the deaths of two men in her life, Judge Jacalyn Colburn sentenced her to 5 to 10 years in the New Hampshire State Prison for Women, with the possibility of one year suspended if she completes various parenting, substance abuse, wellness and life skills courses.
Court records indicate that Gutierrez may have fallen asleep on the couch while water overflowed the bathtub where her two children played during the summer of 2011, eventually flooding the bathroom and causing water to leak through to the basement ceiling.
Her defense attorney, Anthony Sculimbrene, argued that Gutierrez was exhausted on the day of the drowning, adding she previously took several precautions to prevent drownings in the tub, including removing the mechanism that plugs the drain.
However, during testimony on Monday, it was revealed that a washcloth likely clogged the drain on the tragic day two years ago, causing the tub to overflow with the two children inside.
Previously, a medical expert testified in court that Gutierrez has led a life surrounded with death and drug addiction, noting she previously had an addiction to crack cocaine, prostituted herself and was the victim of a gang rape.
Sculimbrene previously attempted to suppress statements his client made to police following the death of her son, maintaining the statements were obtained while she was hysterical over the tragedy.
A doctor hired by the defense also previously testified that Gutierrez was suffering from acute stress disorder the moment she found her baby unconscious and, with assistance from a neighbor, attempted to resuscitate the child.The baby's father, Peter J. N'Tapalis, was not forthcoming with police, according to David Tenzca of the Hillsborough County Attorney's Office."It is tragic," Tenzca said of the baby's death. However, Tenzca said the incident "was only a matter of time, unfortunately," elaborating on a previous arrest when Gutierrez allegedly left her older son unattended in parked vehicle for an extended period of time in the summer months with just one window cracked open.
"DCYF was very much a part of her life," he added, explaining that for two of her three children, they had warned her to take better of them.

President Obama's return to the mountains Wednesday will bring out protesters and stop traffic temporarily along area roads. But many local Democrats say they won't be lining the motorcade route.
President Obama's return to the mountains Wednesday will bring out protesters and stop traffic temporarily along area roads. But many local Democrats say they won't be lining the motorcade route.
"Once everybody found out it was a closed meeting, we kind of forgot about it," said Rose Stone, treasurer of the Henderson County Democrats.
Party Chair Shelly Kingsley thinks Obama's fourth visit to the Asheville area is "very exciting," but said the local party had no plans to greet the president.
Both the president's arrival at Asheville Regional Airport and his remarks at the Linamar Corporation in Arden are closed to the public, the White House press office said.
On the heels of his State of the Union address, Obama will travel to Linamar's plant to discuss "strengthening the economy for the middle class and those striving to get there," the White House said.
Linamar announced in June 2011 that it was reopening the shuttered Volvo Construction plant in Arden to produce engine blocks and axle components for use in manufacturing heavy-duty construction equipment, creating 400 jobs and investing $125 million by 2020. A second phase is expected to add another 250 jobs, according to AdvantageWest, a regional economic development partnership.
Members of the Asheville Tea Party and affiliated groups plan to stage a protest near the entrance to Linamar's entrance on Hendersonville Road from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Picketers with signs will call attention to the president's stance on guns, health care and other issues, a Tea Party action alert said.
Other groups representing environmental and animal rights concerns are also planning to set up protests near Linamar's entrance, including members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who want Obama to close a captive bear park, and a coalition of green groups called Asheville Beyond Coal.
Neither the N.C. Highway Patrol nor the White House would confirm the travel route taken by Obama's motorcade, but security vehicles will block traffic en route between Linamar and the airport sometime between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The two most likely motorcade paths are from Airport Road to Hendersonville Road and along Interstate 26 to Long Shoals Road.

PETALUMA, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California company has recalled more than 40,000 pounds of meat products because it was produced without a full federal inspection.
The United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday that Rancho Feeding Corp. of Petaluma, Calif., recalled 41,683 pounds of meat products. The items, which were produced Jan. 8 and shipped to distribution centers and retail stores in California, include beef carcasses and 20- to 60-pound boxes of beef feet, oxtail, hearts, liver, cheeks, tripe and tongue. They were recalled because without the full federal inspection, they are considered unfit for human consumption.
The carcasses and boxes bear the establishment number "EST. 527" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Each box bears the case code number "ON9O4."
There have been no reports of illnesses.

Animal rescue group encourages pet owners to include animals in disaster planning.
Pet owners, animal lovers, or anyone who is concerned about the welfare of animals when disaster strikes are invited to a Paw Festival from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Pratt Area 4-H Center.
Animals are welcome to come for fun and games, but for everyone's safety, dogs must be carried or on a short leash and cats and small pets must be in a carrier.
The fun part of the afternoon includes games such as doggie musical chairs, stupid pet tricks, bones in a haystack, rubber ducky dunking, tug of war and a potato race. Animals can earn prizes and points their owners can use to purchase pet-related items from a gift shop. Photo identification of pets can be made for $5. Activities are also available for kids, without pets.
The Rev. Karen Lemon, vicar at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pratt, will perform a blessing of the animals for anyone who is interested.
The afternoon is sponsored by the Kingman/Pratt Area Animal Response Team, with help from local 4-H members enrolled in the dog project. Coordinator Carolyn Jergenson promises the festival will be a "whole lot of fun," and also serve to let people know about the organization and how they can be of service.
Animal response teams were formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when so many people lost their pets or refused to evacuate without their animals, according to Jergenson. Katrina demonstrated that a significant number of people would choose to risk their own lives in order to remain with their pets.
In 2006, a Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act was passed, requiring that city and state disaster plans include information about how households with pets or service animals will be accommodated, in order to qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funding.
In short, people have to be allowed to take their pets when they are evacuated, and shelters must be provided.
"It's about how to respond better to the needs of people. They're more likely to leave if there is a safe place for their pets," Jergenson said.
The Greensburg tornado of 2007 sparked an interest in establishing response teams in Kansas. At least 20 teams have been established in the state.
Volunteers are trained to set up and operate shelters for pets and other domestic animals, Jergenson said. Working with county emergency managers, credentialed volunteers can set up a complete animal shelter within 24 hours.
The festival provides the area response team an opportunity to encourage and educate people to make their own family disaster plans that include their pets and to let them know that can take their pets if ordered to evacuate and a shelter will be provided.
Plan for pets
• Make sure pets are wearing up-to-date ID; better yet, have them microchipped
• Evacuate with your pets. If it's not safe for you, it's not safe for them.
• Make and practice a disaster plan for the household.
• Keep a weather radio on hand. If your area is under watch or warning, keep pets indoors and confined.
• Keep carriers and leashes accessible.
• Plan ahead for an alternate location for people and pets.
• Contact hotels outside immediate area and ask about pet policies.
• Keep a list of local vet clinics and boarding facilities which may provide emergency sheltering.

Sol 158 Update on Curiosity from USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: An Exciting Sol14 January 2013
I was SOWG Chair for Sol 158 planning, and it was an exciting sol. On Sol 156, there was a minor problem with the arm that caused the team to preclude more arm contact science until the anomaly was better understood. Fortunately, good work in the testbed at JPL yesterday verified that the problem was well understood, and we got the go ahead for contact science on Sol 158 just in time to make it happen. This includes APXS and MAHLI observations of two targets, plus a nice MAHLI mosaic of the rock ledge in front of the rover.

Sometimes taxonomists create new names for groups that already have a name. They may do this because they are unaware of the original name, or they may think the organism before them belongs to a different group when in fact it does not. If two or more names are found to apply to the same group, they are considered synonyms. In most cases, the first name takes priority and is considered to be the valid or accepted name. However, there can be exceptions, and it's not always easy to determine which of a series of synonyms should be considered valid or accepted. Here we list the synonyms provided to EOL by our classification partners. We also include other versions of the name that most likely refer to the same group, for example, misspellings in the literature or different variations of the authorship associated with the name.

Search for illegal immigrants angers advocates for reform
By MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
Federal immigration enforcement officials took four illegal immigrants into custody on Sunday, arrests that an angry immigration reform advocate said involved two people who attended a reform rally in Nashua the day before.
The arrests took place in Manchester and Nashua. A spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said three of the four were quickly released from custody and given a date to appear before an immigration judge.
The fourth - Rigoberto Obregon-Perez - was jailed on a warrant for failing to appear in court on a charge of drunken driving, and ICE has placed a hold on him, said Manchester police Lt. Maureen Tessier.
ICE said Obregon-Perez has a record that includes convictions of drunken-driving and disorderly conduct.
The arrests angered immigration reform advocates, who held a small protest outside the federal building in Manchester Monday afternoon.
A "prayerful protest" is scheduled for 4 p.m. today outside the federal building.
Eva Castillo, director of the New Hampshire Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees, said the two people arrested in Nashua attended a rally of about 100 faith, labor and community activists in Nashua on Saturday.
"Now, I'm scared for the people who spoke at the rally," she said.
She said the two who attended the rally are Edgar Granados-Torillo, 29, and his uncle, Arnulfo Granados-Torillo, 56. Both are Honduran. The senior Granados-Torillo has been in the country since 1997, and they only have a traffic violation between them, she said. Castillo questioned whether ICE spied on the rally in Nashua on Saturday; only immigrants with proper papers will attend today's protest in Manchester, she said.
"I don't want to run the risk of having anyone identified by these jerks," said Castillo, who is also a Manchester police commissioner.
ICE spokesman Ross Feinstein said the arrests had nothing to do with the rally, and the Granados-Torillo men were released from custody.
Feinstein said the arrests are part of an on-going enforcement action that involves at-large criminal aliens who pose a threat to the community.
"No one is being targeted indiscriminately," Feinstein said. "This is a very targeted immigration action. It's being done to people who have certain criminal convictions that fall into our priorities. We can't deport every person in the country illegally."
In Manchester, about 20 ICE and Manchester police showed up at a private party at El Mexicano Restaurant about 10 p.m. Sunday, said co-owner Lidia Rodriguez. She said agents pushed through the door, gave her sister a hard time when she started photographing them, and threatened to visit her restaurant continuously, a tactic that would scare away her customers.
"This is no good for my business," she said.
The other person who was detained, Ruben Mendez, 19, has been in Manchester for four years, Rodriguez said. He moved to Manchester to make money and send it to his family in Mexico, where his parents are in ill health, she said.
When ICE agents entered her restaurant, Rodriguez told Mendez not to answer their questions, she said. But he became nervous and admitted he is not in the country legally, Rodriguez said.
Feinstein said ICE priorities also involve people who have re-entered the country after deportation and recent arrivals. According to Arnie Alpert of the American Friends Service Committee, the Nashua raid may have violated an April 4 federal court order that said that ICE must no longer conduct warrantless searches in the homes of immigrants suspected of being in the country without authorization.

True Dat
Over the past few months anything that I sew or quilt that includes my True Colors fabrics jumps right up to the top of my personal favorites list. Like of all time personal favorites. True Colors has proven to be my little dream come true fabric haul. I can barely plan anything that doesn't include a bit or a lot of it. Which is just exactly what I hoped for when designing it. Anyhoo. Here is the quilt that I have been asked about a whole lot. Color Dive. The Color Dive Quilt was inspired by my True Colors collection and is my newest video class on CreativeBug. I am also working on a PDF version of the pattern that we should have listed in the shop for sale soon, and I'll be sure to letchya know about that. When it's published, we'll have some kits ready for you too. We're like that.
Here's the preview for the Color Dive class:
The quilt uses every print in my Dowry collection + every print in my True Colors collection + a handful of solids. In case you'd like a chance to land an extra little pile of fabrics on your sewing table, you should follow along with the True Colors blog tour that is starting Monday at Sew4Home. There will be plenty of chances to win fabric + thread prizes and get loads of sewing inspiration along the way. Here's a scheduled list of the talented folks that are sharing their True Colors projects using my group (highlighted in pink) as well as Heather's, Joel's and Jenean's. Enjoy! xoxoAnnaMaria

And the mystery surrounding Andrew Bynum and his knees continues.
Bynum met with the media a couple of minutes ago and said:
"I had a little bit of a setback. Just working through some issues with the right knee I kind of have a mirror thing going on with the left knee. I don't know what's going on. The doctors are saying it's a weakened cartilage state so we kind of wait, I guess. We can't do anything. I just have to wait for the cartilage to get strong."
"It's the same exact spot (as the right knee) with the cartilage. Just doing routine things and it started swelling up. No blunt force injury or anything like that. It's the same timetable still."
The team announced earlier this week that Bynum would hopefully be back on the court around December 10 and then have up to a month to get himself in shape and then return to the club. Whether this latest setback hinders that, Bynum would not say that, more because it seemed he just doesn't know. He will continue with swimming and other low impact excersizing.
"Both knees are swelling, but we've got it under control. (The pain is ok when doing) every day activities. The more I do the higher it is. Actually this is a weird issue. I've never had any cartilage issues. I had a meniscus thing but that's fine, we don't know what's going on. It's just from running and playing basketball (for years). I didn't twinst my knee or anything like that."
(UPDATE 6:56 P.M.:) From Tony DiLeo:
From our point of view it's a situation where we have to continue to be patient. We want to be cautious. We're looking long term not short term and big picture. We're going to do what is best for Andrew and best for the organization and try to get him as healthy as he can be and try to get him back on the court when he is ready.
His body will be the indicator, when he's feeling good, when that pain subsides from his knees when he can step up in his rehab and do more strenuous activities, that will be the indicator. A date is very difficult, as you know. We just want to get him healthy and get him out there when he's ready. We think we have a good team now and when he's ready to get out there we'll have a better team. In the end we want to see our complete team with Andrew out there.
Plain and simple we're trying to rehab his knees so they're healthy and he can get out there and play like he did last season. That's our goal. When he's ready, and it's hard to predict when he'll be ready, hopefully sooner than later. Main concern is Andrew's health. Main concern is big picture. We want to have a long relationship with him.
I think it's the same time table because both knees have to heal. That's what we're going with. When the pain subsides, when he can do more strenuous activities, when we can get him out on the court to basketball activities we'll know a lot more.
He'll be reevaluated in mid-December, he'll have another MRI and we'll see what the progress is. The players have to be confident that they can play. You cannot ask a player to play injured. Whenever he feels confident that he can get out there and he's healthy and he can help the team, we both want the same goal. We don't want a player going out there injured and maybe creating more injury or more damage. This is a situation when he feels confident, when the doctors feel confident that everything's OK, that's when he'll be back on the court.
He saw his doctor a couple of days ago. He had an MRI on his left knee.

A special meeting of the Measure L Citizens Oversight Committee is set for Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. to foster a discussion between the city attorney and the committee.
A special meeting of the Measure L Citizens Oversight Committee is set for Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. to foster a discussion between the city attorney and the committee.
The lone agenda item, "Discussion with City Attorney: Measure L Citizens' Oversight Committee Process," is expected to establish dialogue over a heated item that has carried on for three weeks — an idea by Mayor Dan Clark for "re-visioning" of the committee.
Clark's directive intended to set the committee to reporting on Measure L expenses only and reduce city staff support to the committee to once a quarter, among other issues.
The committee views its duties as an advisory capacity set on actively reviewing the data as it came in, in addition to forming a thorough budget baseline that tracked expenses related to street maintenance and public safety.
A decision by the city council to pull a discussion item addressing the re-visioning at the Jan. 23 special council meeting drew sharp criticism. Members from every sector of the community expressed their concern by stating the committee should stay intact and be allowed to continue what they were doing.
At its Jan. 28 meeting, the committee voted 3-2 to table a meeting to submit a rebuttal to Clark and meet with Keith Lemieux, the city attorney.
Committee members Scott Garver and George Anderson voted against the idea, stating the letter, drafted by committee member Michael Petersen, should be sent.
Petersen, Committee Chair Eddie Thomas and vice chair Phil Salvatore voted to meet with the city attorney to hear what Lemieux might have to say.
The Measure L committee meets Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. in City Hall's Council Conference Room Area "B.

Atop Market Basket: A successful and beloved CEO
What is striking about the company feud over the executive leadership of the Market Basket supermarket chain is not the length of the dispute or the passion of the warring factions. Such emotional and bitter fights are common in family-owned businesses. What stands out is the flood of genuine and deeply felt affection for CEO Arthur T. Demoulas from employees and members of the communities served by Market Basket stores.
When word got out that the Arthur S. Demoulas faction had managed to schedule a board of directors' vote on removing Arthur T. Demoulas as CEO, employees swiftly organized a campaign to intervene on behalf of their boss. They collected 35,000 signatures on a petition to keep Arthur T. (The company has fewer than 22,000 employees.) An estimated 2,000 employees rallied at the Andover, Mass., site of last Thursday's board meeting to express their support for him.
Among those attending the rally was John Conway, 56, the manager of the Portsmouth Market Basket. "They treat you like family, so we're treating him like family and supporting him," he told the Boston Herald.
Employee turnover is extremely high in the supermarket industry. Yet go into just about any Market Basket and you will find employees who have worked there for years, even decades. Conway, the Portsmouth manager, has worked for the company for 35 years. It is not unusual to find assistant managers who have been with the company for a quarter-century.
Demoulas offers his employess profit-sharing and gives them the opportunity to build real careers. While many retail chains hire managers straight out of business school, limiting promotion opportunities for lower-level employees, it is common to find Market Basket managers who started as baggers or cashiers and worked their way up.
Steve Paulenka, who works at the company's offices in Chelmsford, Mass., arrived in Andover with some co-workers before 5:30 a.m. on Thursday. They wanted to be sure their support for their boss was not missed. "It was like a papal procession," Paulenka said of the CEO's arrival for the board meeting.
Support for Arthur T. goes beyond employees. James Cook, executive director of the Lowell Plan, a nonprofit economic development group that has 80 member businesses, told the Lowell Sun that Arthur T. was so beloved and such a positive force in Lowell, where the Market Basket chain originated, that he would be "impossible to replace."
Whatever the merits of the family complaints against Arthur T. Demoulas' management (and the merits are questionable, based on reporting to date), it is undoubtedly true that the company's top executive has earned the loyalty and trust of his employees and has put the company in a tremendous economic position. That is a remarkable combination for any business leader.
