Londonderry police propose changes to rules for sellers of used goods
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
LONDONDERRY - With thefts of auto parts and scrap metal on the rise in Londonderry, police are taking a closer look at the town's policies regulating businesses that specialize in the sale of secondhand goods.
According to Londonderry Police Detective Sean Doyle, the process of monitoring local business transactions is extremely time-consuming and isn't very cost effective. After looking into the matter further, police said purchasing a software system from Business Watch International (BWI) would be more efficient.
The system would require all vendors of secondhand goods to keep online records of their merchandise, including photos. Doyle said the police department would provide each business owner with a web camera, though proprietors would be on their own if they wanted to purchase an additional or replacement camera.
During a lengthy discussion Monday evening, Londonderry police officials discussed the legality of having the pawnbrokers report the same way as secondhand dealers.
According to Doyle, local police have already discussed the matter with town prosecutor Kevin Coyle as well as County Attorney Blanchard. He said both agreed the new software follows town and state statutes.
The Salem Police Department recently began using BWI, but Councilor Joe Green said some Londonderry residents still had many concerns on the matter.
"These are important questions: What are the initial costs? Is it cost prohibitive?" Green asked police.
Police officials said startup costs are roughly $3,000 to purchase the software that would be monitoring the town's dozen or so secondhand vendors.
The list of stores includes not only traditional pawnshops, but also jewelry stores selling secondhand items, consignment shops and businesses dealing with sales of scrap metal, and other recyclables.
According to Doyle, the updated ordinance also calls for an increase in licensing fees for applicable businesses.
As it stands now, it costs shop owners $50 for a new business license and $25 for an annual license renewal. Under the new ordinance, it would cost them $250 each year, with those funds to help pay for software costs.
The new ordinance would further shift costs to business owners by enacting a $1 per transaction fee.
Patricia O'Neil, who owns one of the stores that would be affected by the changes, said the changes could cost her around $10,000 and would add further challenges to a small business struggling in an already-strained economy.
"It's just affecting our livelihood," O'Neil told the council.
"Believe me, you wouldn't want to be a criminal and sit with me if you had a box of stolen goods," she added.
Councilor Jim Butler agreed that updates to the ordinance could, in fact, "pose undue burdens on small businesses."
"I think we still have a lot of question on this," Councilor John Farrell said.
The board unanimously agreed to continue the hearing until the May 6 meeting.

farmers market cardiThursday, February 04, 2010
I received a comment this week that said, "Interesting blog. I'll come back whenever I am in the mood for headless portraits and cookie pics". I laughed out loud!
I am SO happy this sweater is finished. I mentioned the finishing being a major problem for me with this project. I actually think that I would have mentally preferred if the shawl collar would have been in a category all to itself. You know what I mean? Because, by the time I make it to the FINISHING section of a pattern, I feel as if I am nearly finished. Not that I have another week (at least) to invest in a project. I know you know what I mean.
Of course, my favorite feature is the pocket. Keys, lens cap, phone. The yarn is seriously delicious and makes it super warm. I will get a lot of use out of it as a "coat".

That sweater looks like it was worth it. Really nice!ReplyDelete
You did a great job! I always make baby sweater because I always seem to get the size wrong for me. So I have adult sweater envy!ReplyDelete
What a weirdo! Who doesn't like cookies? And you in great sweaters, headless or not?! What if you didn't have a head? Did he ever think of that? What if you were like, the headless horseman or something? It's very discriminatory is what it is. So rude. In this day and age, too. Hmph.ReplyDelete
Beautiful!! I thought that sweater was beautiful in the magazine and yours turned out even lovelier!ReplyDelete
i LOVE this. and i laughed at the headless photo comment -- most of mine are headless too, partially for anonymity, but mostly because we're knitters! the details we want to see are below the neck!ReplyDelete
and boy, is this sweater stunning. lovely knitting.
Beautiful sweater. I love the way the patterned collar comes down to trim the pockets. How many hand knit sweaters do you have now Leslie? Do you wear them all the time? I have one that I knit for myself and I wear it often. I hope to knit more sweaters because I enjoy knitting them and they are wonderful to wear.ReplyDelete
leslie, it is really beautiful! nice work.ReplyDelete
How beautiful! I love the detail! I'm sure this will end up being one of your "go-to" cardigans!ReplyDelete
You have a healthier outlook than I do - I got so tired of the wierd comments I disabled comments. Maybe I shouldn't take myself so seriously and laugh about it like you do and then move on!
*rolls eyes* at the comment left by the donkey.ReplyDelete
Love your cardi the yarn was a perfect choice.
The cardigan turned out just beautifully! I love the cable detailing, and it looks cozy.ReplyDelete
That comment is hilarious! I laughed out loud, too. Muggles...
BTW, how did the Green Line do when being washed? I had one of the early batches, and it bled and bled and bled, so I haven't gone back, even though I think Lorna's has reformulated it.
Yay! ! I love goo gone - so glad it worked for you! This might just be my favorite knit of yours -really beautiful - I love pockets, too. I am going to scratch over "finishing" on my pattern and write "collar" - maybe it won't be so intimidating. Ok, girl, what's next for you?? Can't wait to see.ReplyDelete
This is BEAUTIFUL! I am so envious of people who are able to knock off sweaters - I still haven't finished my first!ReplyDelete
This has turned out beautifully, and looks super comfy too. Enjoy wearing it, I know I would!ReplyDelete
Looks really beautiful, lovely colour choice - have had my eye on this pattern - if I do get round to it I'll try to remember that when I get to finishing that bit is going to take some time - given that I always underestimate it anyway in my hope that the FO is close - quite some time!ReplyDelete
headless and cookies... haReplyDelete
I really love the pockets on that sweater and I totally agree about a finishing section. I'm expecting to finish very quickly once I get there. It's a mental thing.
I love your blog!!!ReplyDelete
jen kolakowski
Congratulations on a gorgeous sweater!ReplyDelete
Is there some problem with headless pics?
You did a beautiful job. I had fogotten about that green line worsted. I did like it when we had it at the store. I hope you remember too that I'm one of your biggest fans - I love your blog!ReplyDelete
Adorable! The pocket is great. You are my knitting hero.ReplyDelete
It's gorgeous, Leslie!ReplyDelete
It's DONE! YAY! And looks so fabulous - isn't it fun to knit pockets?!ReplyDelete
I'll be back whenever I'm in the mood for some awesome knitting pics. With cookies. :-)
BEAUTIFUL!! And well worth the extra finishing effort. Just beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Those pockets are great! Another great knit.ReplyDelete
That is gorgeous. The collar is worth it!ReplyDelete
looks perfect, as do all your sweater projects!ReplyDelete
too funny!!! Someone stopped by a friend of mine's blog the other day to tell her 'the knitting is getting so much better than it used to be'. Is that a compliment?? lol!!ReplyDelete
love it! you did a fabulous job...the pockets are my favorite part too with that cable.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! The color is so wonderful. It looks as if it was totally worth the time and trouble!ReplyDelete
just like always, your sweater is gorgeous. i am SO happy that the silly putty came out (right on, jan!) and the finishing is finished!ReplyDelete
I love it for you!! It's always a great feeling to try it on and twirl around!ReplyDelete
The sweater looks great!ReplyDelete
Don't give the rude comment another thought. I'm pretty sure you're not, but it's annoying when people think that blogs are made to entertain ONLY THEM.
Ya know what I mean?
Keep the cookie recipes coming. :-)
Your sweater looks great and I like your headless shots, in fact I may just have to copy them for my sweater photos. I had this pattern in my Ravelry queue, in fact I just tried to cast on to make one, but got frustrated with the invisible provisional cast on that I'd never done before. I decided I was too tired to start something new.ReplyDelete
That is a gorgeous sweater! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Very funny comment. It's beautiful! Your sweaters always turn out so wonderful:)ReplyDelete
absolutely love it! just another in a long list of favorites you've created. and all the piecing was worth it!!ReplyDelete
This is fantastic! I love the detail around the collar! Great job! One day...soon enough...I will be knitting cardis galore...until then, you will be an inspiration!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure why people drift through blogs if it isn't just for a chance to peek into the inner sanctum of another's thinking process. Because that's what I view blogs as....a thinking process.ReplyDelete
And it's actually a very personal thing....our thoughts, ramblings, musings, concerns and contemplations.
So, with that....I enjoy your blog...it's a slice of life gone by.
The coat looks very delicate and stylish.Good to know that it is also sufficiently warm.ReplyDelete
I just discovered your blog too, and I must say I love your headless photos and all the cookie shots. Its exactly what I need to pep me up, keep up the excellent job - PS all your knitting makes me very jelous!ReplyDelete
Daniel, yea I can see what you did there. I actually liked that part, but hehe I'm not that harsh like my dad with these things. He at all times tells me crazy stories again in the day and calls me a loser. I assume it's time I transfer out of my parents' basement LOL. Aaanyways, what about you? what does your dad assume xD" Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good source like this.ReplyDelete
Great write-up, I am a big believer in commenting on blogs to assist the weblog writers know that they?ve added one thing worthwhile to the world large net! (source roblox-cheats.com). Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good source like this.ReplyDelete
Completely perceive what your stance on this matter. Although I would disagree on some of the finer particulars, I believe you did an superior job explaining it. Certain beats having to research it on my own. Thanks. Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good supply like this.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the wise critique. Me & my neighbour have been getting ready to do a little analysis about that. We received an excellent guide on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information. I am very glad to see such information which I used to be searching for a protracted time.This made very glad! Anyway, in my language, there aren't a lot good source like this.ReplyDelete
Please inform me it labored proper? I dont wish to sumit it again if i would not have to! Either the blog glitced out or i'm an idiot, the second option doesnt shock me lol. thanks for an ideal blog! Anyway, in my language, there are not much good source like this.ReplyDelete
Your weblog is fine. I simply need to comment on the design. Its too loud. Its doing method too much and it takes away from what youve got to say --which I feel is admittedly important. I dont know if you happen to didnt suppose that your phrases may hold everyones attention, however you have been wrong. Anyway, in my language, there usually are not much good source like this.ReplyDelete

Classes at local schools were canceled for another day Wednesday, but municipal and county offices re-opened after the area had been hit with the second major snow storm in less than a week.
Classes at local schools were canceled for another day Wednesday, but municipal and county offices re-opened after the area had been hit with the second major snow storm in less than a week.
This week's storm, which reached the area Monday evening, dropped more than 10 inches of snow in some areas of the county. Light snow continued to fall Wednesday morning.
"This one was challenging," said Mike Spickelmier, Leavenworth County director of public works.
He said the storm produced "heavy, wet snow." A few of the snow plow vehicles for the county slipped off the road and became stuck. He said there were no injuries or damage but "you lose time."
Spickelmier said roads in the county were "fair" Wednesday.
"We're actually getting some muddy roads," he said, which is something county workers haven't had to deal with in a while.
He said the muddy roads has slowed down county crews.
He said all roads were open and passable Wednesday. He said crews will be widening the clearance on the county's secondary roads. He said this work should be completed by the end of Friday.
In the city of Leavenworth, crews were pretty much done with their snow removal work. While Leavenworth Public Works Director Mike McDonald there probably would be a few odds and ends, Wednesday was mostly a maintenance day.
"It's always hard on the equipment," he said of snow removal.
He said crews would be removing snow from downtown Leavenworth Wednesday night. He said the snow would be moved to empty lots in the area of Second and Chestnut streets.
McDonald said the city of Leavenworth had used about 250 tons of salt and sand mix during the snow storms of last week and this week, but the city still has plenty of salt and sand.
Spickelmier said the county received salt shipments Wednesday and the county's stockpile was in good shape.
"We're very hopeful that this is the last snow event (of the season)," he said.
Local authorities didn't report any major accidents as a result of the snow storm.
Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department, said officers received a number of reports of stuck vehicles.
"Some were able to get out before we could get there to help them," he said.

State Farm donations will outfit facility hosting STEM and feeding programs for Ionia and Montcalm counties.
The Ionia County Intermediate School District (ISD) and the Montcalm Area ISD recently received more than $20,000 worth of free office furniture and supplies from State Farm Insurance Company.
Donated materials will be used primarily to furnish the now-empty HO Steele Education Center in the Montcalm ISD, which will be the site of two new programs: the summer Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) leadership programs, and the I'M Kids Food Basket, a new feeding program serving both Ionia and Montcalm counties starting this fall.
The donation could not have come at a better time, said Deborah Wagner, director of grants and special projects in the general education department of the Ionia County and Montcalm Area ISDs. Wagner facilitates both counties' youth advisory councils and is the program director for the AmeriCorps VISTA program.
"These are brand new programs and the building is empty, so the furniture was this wonderful gift to us because the building has little to nothing in it," Wagner said. "Our summer STEM program needed desks, chairs and file cabinets; and our feeding program needed prep tables and a refrigerator. This was perfect timing."
State Farm recently relocated their Wyoming, Mich., headquarters, and invited the nonprofit organizations they support to take the office furniture and supplies left behind. State Farm has funded the Ionia County Youth Advisory Council's teen driver safety programs since 2008.
The closed State Farm facility had two floors of furniture and other supplies in it, Wagner said. Initially, she took a truck and trailer, and then returned Thursday with a rental truck with a lift gate. They brought back chairs, tables, cabinets, bookshelves, trash cans, recycling containers and more.
"Twenty thousand dollars might be underestimating what we got," Wagner said, adding that the chairs alone had a value of $7,500. "It was very nice to be able to get that."
The HO Steele building, which is in a central location between Ionia and Montcalm counties and sits on 58 acres, is "perfect for what we want to do," said Wagner. "When we approached Montcalm (Area ISD), Dr. K (Dr. Scott Koenigsknecht, superintendent) really wanted the building used."
The STEM program, which includes partnerships with local libraries, Grand Valley State University and Central Michigan University, will target sixth graders.
"A lot of the new common core standards are in engineering. We plan to bring in experts and do problem-based learning by looking at real local problems," Wagner said. "For example, windmills for electricity: we could maybe research the environmental impact or study how they are constructed, and then we could take research and send it or present it to the county commission or whoever is looking at that in the county and share the information."
A kick-off event for the STEM program is scheduled for May 14 at the HO Steele building.
The I'M Kids Food Basket program, which will launch in the fall, will select one school in Ionia County and one in Montcalm County from among schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates. Children will take home a sack supper.
Wagner said 10,000 people in Ionia County are food-insecure, and 3,400 of those are children. In Montcalm County, the numbers are even higher: 11,000 people are food-insecure, and 4,300 to 4,700 of those are children.
"They may go days without a meal," said Wagner. "This is a way to bridge that gap, to make sure kids come to school well-fed so their brains work, and that they are physically and mentally healthy."
"We've been partners with State Farm for quite a few years, and it's been a very good relationship with them," said Ionia County ISD Superintendent Robert Kjolhede. "This is just another example of them supporting our county, and we're excited to be a part of it."

It is not much more than a chicken wire cage, but the nicely named "seahorse hotel" is behind a population resurgence of Australia's endangered white seahorse.
One of the largest concentrations of seahorses in the world was once found at Port Stephens on the New South Wales coast, until wild storm seasons from 2010 to 2013 destroyed habitat and almost destroyed the population.
"If you wanted to see seahorses, you'd come to Port Stephens. You'd hop in here and you'd see 30 to 40 seahorses on every single dive, it was fantastic," said Dr David Harasti from NSW Fisheries.
"But in just a three-year period the population declined by 90 per cent. One site where I used to get 400 animals, I saw 10 there. On another site the population of 200 went down to about 20.
"The decline was quite dramatic and because of that decline the species became the second endangered seahorse listed in the world."
Dr Harasti said several large East Coast Low storms shifted large volumes of sand in the port which smothered the seahorse habitat of soft corals and sponges.
A number of poorly located moorings and anchor damage from boats also contributed to the habitat destruction and left behind vast tracts of barren sand.
Fortunately, Dr Harasti was struck with inspiration.
"I used to see old discarded crab traps underwater covered in sponges and algae and just by chance I'd see seahorses living on them," he said.
"So we decided to introduce our own artificial habitats and I've called them seahorse hotels.
"I've always got this whole concept underwater — if you build it they will come — so we've built the infrastructure for the seahorses, the hotels are there and now the seahorses are colonizing them."

The boys and I went to "Bach and breakfast" in the park on Sunday morning. As Charlie and I hung out listening, Andrew played with my camera.
Life through Andrew's eyes:

So cute!ReplyDelete
I see you've got Cosy's book in your basket. I love the book, and I love your basket! What a wonderful day.
Totally clear. I have to say my girls are quite adorable. I vote for a cockapoo - small, managable but fiesty enough to give Andrew a run for his money. They are by no means boring lap dogs.ReplyDelete
you know he wants a dog - you've said so yourself. :) maybe it's time.ReplyDelete
i think i see a new friend in the future! man's best friend that is! :) i love his views! and i love that bach and breakfast- how cool!ReplyDelete
that first photo with you and charlie lounging...your basket of books...the thermos...the knitting needles in your hand...the family quilt...ReplyDelete

awww that's so cute. we like to dog watch too :)ReplyDelete
I can recomment Cavalier King Charles Spaniels...ReplyDelete
looks like that boy wants a dog!ReplyDelete
mom, can you help a boy out?
love the first photo!
just what I would expect, a magazine worthy photo from a friend.
This is the cutest photo shoot ever! I just love seeing what kids focus on when they're behind the lens. Thanks for sharing :-)ReplyDelete
Adorable pics! You know, it's just the same here. Our kids want a dog and most of the photos my first born takes, are about dogs :)ReplyDelete
so fun! I think I know what's going to be at the top of his Christmas list! Glad you're having a fun summer. Sounds like a great park program you've got near you.ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing these!ReplyDelete
and go for it - you'll enjoy having a dog just as much (if not more than) the kiddos will. And if you get an adult dog from the humane society you won't have to deal with the housebreaking or constant chewing. we absolutely adore our two mutts. But I wish we had your park nearby!
That's pretty much life through my eyes as well. I'm always looking out for dogs as I walk and run around town. I just keep telling myself, soon! soon!ReplyDelete
Before I read your very last sentences, I was thinking the exact same thing. Mom, this boy seriously wants a puppy!ReplyDelete
The pictures are fantastic. I absolutely love how chilled and comfie you and your eldest are. And I love Andrew's perspective. Sometimes we're too busy looking up, in dreams and to a future, to see the small details right there within arm's reach. Awesome!
Sometimes a message is too clear to be ignored :) Love your quilt!ReplyDelete
Puppy Puppy Puppy!ReplyDelete
I love seeing Sunday morning through Andrew's eyes! :)ReplyDelete
Hey, do you live in Pittsburgh, PA? I lived there in the mid-1980s and loved it. I am so jealous!ReplyDelete
hmmm...what could possibly be on his mind? Adorable photos!ReplyDelete
Question… how can you keep that great figure when you eat so many great cookies?! ; )ReplyDelete

After an even first half, the Pratt Community College Lady Beavers basketball team was outscored 41-26 in the second half to fall to the Crowder (MO) College Lady 'Riders by an 80-67 count Tuesday night at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena.
After an even first half, the Pratt Community College Lady Beavers basketball team was outscored 41-26 in the second half to fall to the Crowder (MO) College Lady 'Riders by an 80-67 count Tuesday night at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena.
Hannah Mehl hit back-to-back shots to give PCC the lead, 12-10, at the 16:00 mark. Crowder regained the lead over the next several minutes largely due to Beaver offensive miscues and turnovers. At 4:26 it was 31-25 Crowder.
Ashari Broadwater then hit some tough shots in the lane to spark a PCC rally, and the Lady Beavers had it tied up at 39 apiece with 15 seconds remaining in the half. Lady Beavers head coach Stephanie Thompson drew up an out of bounds play that got Hayli Smith the ball. Smith was hacked and sank two from the charity stripe, sending the Beavers into the break with a 41-39 lead.
The early going in the second half saw the teams trading runs. Crowder opened the half with an 8-0 run, opening up a 47-41 advantage at 17:00. Pratt then came back with a 9-0 run that included put-backs by Tatiana Gant and Samantha Watson and an old-fashioned 3-point play by Broadwater. At 15:00 it was 50-47 PCC.
Over the next three minutes, careless PCC turnovers allowed the Lady 'Riders to retake the lead at 53-50. It was Pratt's turn to make a run, but unfortunately the entire team got the cold hand and a run never materialized. Over the next 8 minutes, Crowder hit some shots while Pratt struggled offensively and gradually the Lady 'Riders stretched their advantage to double digits, 73-62 with 4 minutes to go.
PCC attempted to rally late, but it was not to be and the Crowders closed out the Lady Beavers 80-67.
The difference in the game came from the free throw line. Pratt had a slight edge on the boards, Crowder had a slight edge in turnovers. Field goals and threes were close to even, but Crowder outscored PCC from the line by 8.
"We couldn't keep them off the free throw line," Coach Thompson lamented after the game. "In all of our losses, that has been a common theme-we have just fouled too much."
Another challenge for the Lady Beavers has been offensive inconsistency. "We seem to have scoring droughts in the second half too much of the time," Thompson commented. "It doesn't always cost us, but tonight it did."
Thompson had praise for sophomore Ashari Broadwater, whose aggressive and effective play in the offensive post gave PCC needed lifts at times. "Ashari had the best game of her career for us tonight," Thompson said. "She's super athletic and practices hard. She's just been inconsistent. If we can get her to play every night like she did tonight, she'll do some good things for us."
With the loss, the PCC women fall to 6-3 on the season. They have another home game this week, Thursday night against NW Tech, 6 p.m. at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena.

Prosecution, defense rest in Webster trial; defense calls only one witnessBy DALE VINCENT
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 10. 2012 10:26AM
MANCHESTER - Both prosecution and defense rested Monday morning in the attempted murder trial of Myles Webster, 23, in Hillsborough County Superior Court North.
Webster is accused of shooting Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty at Wayne and Rimmon streets after a foot chase March 21.
The final prosecution witness, Dr. Robert A. Catania, a surgeon at Catholic Medical Center, described the wounds Doherty sustained and said, "Nine out of 10 times the wounds would have been fatal."
Defense attorney Caroline Smith presented only one defense witness, Sgt. Michael Biron.
She asked him what Doherty said at the hospital immediatedly after the shooting. Biron said Doherty told him: "Hispanic male, heavyset, ponytail, black clothing. He shot me."
The defense claims Webster is a victim of mistaken identity and that police conducted their investigation in a way to ensure the conviction of Webster, the man they arrested the night of the shooting.
The defense then rested.
Abramson then sent the jury home and said closing arguments will be given Tuesday morning.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: It's the Red Sox's turn to honor heroesBy DAVE D'ONOFRIO
Special to The Sunday News
April 21. 2013 1:13AM
BOSTON -- It had been just 118 hours since barely a mile down Boylston Street twin blasts burned this city in such a way that scars will last forever. Ultimately leaving kids, cops, and good people dead or maimed, provoking a gunfight that was followed by a daylong manhunt, and effectively bringing a terrorized town to a standstill, an incomprehensible sequence of events all began with a couple of homemade bombs.
Saturday, though, David Ortiz ushered this enduring burgh back to normal with an all together different type of bomb.
An F-bomb.
"This is our (bleeping) city," the longest-tenured Red Sox player told a crowd of 35,152, "and nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong."
With that, Ortiz lowered the microphone in his left hand and lifted his right, pumping it skyward with a sense of triumph that captured the spirit of Fenway Park an afternoon after authorities apprehended the second of two suspects they believe detonated those bombs at last Monday's Boston Marathon.
Strength hasn't been hard to find in these parts since the instant the terrorists struck - though at that point the Sox had just wrapped a sweep of the Rays and were on their way to Cleveland, so Saturday marked the first time the organization had a chance to express its thanks to and solidarity with the community. And the club capitalized on the opportunity in a most poignant way.
In the wake of one of Boston's darkest days, the Sox put on a pregame ceremony that sent chills quivering as if it was one of New England's coldest nights. The goosebumps began with the first notes of Jeff Buckley's rendition of "Hallelujah," which played over a montage featuring pictures of athletes running the marathon - then, after the screen momentarily went black, resumed with images of people responding before the smoke had even cleared.
The photos showed cowboy-hat wearing Carlos Arredondo wheeling a bloody Jeff Bauman. It showed ex-Patriot Joe Andruzzi carrying a woman. It showed police reaching for their weapons as they scattered to cover the scene.
Soon, quotes from officials, from players, from the President of the United States began scrawling on the video boards that were left dark beforehand in deference to the situation. Finally the song and the video ended with a touching shot of people standing at the temporary memorial set up on Boylston Street, its corner featuring two women wearing yellow marathon jackets as they shared an embrace.
That brought the Red Sox and the visiting Royals on to the baseline - but on this day their appearance was secondary. The bigger applause was held for those who came next: the Boston Marathon volunteers; Lynn police officer Matt Harrison, who went from lunch in a restaurant to using a belt as a tourniquet; Steve Byrne, whose burly body was thrown over a fence by the blast; Dick and Rick Hoyt, the father-son marathon team who have become icons of that race; Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick; Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis, whose appearance on the field pregame elicited more requests for handshakes than most celebrities do in that spot; Richard DesLauriers, the FBI's special agent in charge of the case; and then other members of law enforcement joined all them around the mound, to enormous applause.
Following the Bruins' lead from Wednesday, rather than invite a performer to do so, the Sox asked the crowd to sing the national anthem - and what stood out most, at least from the grandstands on the third-base side, was how fans weren't screaming the words. They were singing them. It was as if, in this moment, being loud was much less important than being good.
And whether or not that was actually the intent, the result was beautiful.
The crowd sang together again in the seventh inning, belting out God Bless America. Then in the eighth, Neil Diamond was summoned for a live performance of "Sweet Caroline," which played in stadiums across baseball this week as a tribute to Boston.
Ultimately it was Daniel Nava and his three-run homer who ensured they played "Dirty Water" at the end of a 4-3 victory, though three batters after Diamond sang, Ortiz actually stepped to the center of the spotlight again - this time with a bat, instead of a microphone, in his hands. With two on and the Sox trailing by a run, he had a chance to play hero. Instead, he grounded into a double play.
But that was okay. There were already enough heroes at Fenway Park on Saturday. And Big Papi, a Dominican by birth but a Bostonian by choice, had already made his statement.
His bleepin' city had long since proven itself plenty strong.
- - - - -
Previous to his speech, Ortiz was activated from the disabled list, and the designated hitter played in just his second major-league game since last July 16. To make room on the roster, rookie outfielder Jackie Bradley was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket.
After earning a roster spot with a torrid spring training, and opening the year as the club's starting left fielder, Bradley finished his initial big-league stint at 3-for-31 with 12 strikeouts and a .392 on-base plus slugging. That performance, and the need it shows for Bradley to fix the holes in his swing, almost certainly ensures he'll spend at least 20 days in the minors. If he does that, his contract will remain under team control for another full season, through 2019.
- - - - -
The game originally scheduled for Friday but postponed because of the manhunt for the bombing suspect will be played tonight at 7 p.m. It will be the second half of a separate-admission doubleheader, following the regularly scheduled 1:35 contest with the Royals. Tickets for Friday are good for entry to the nightcap.
- - - - -
STAT OF THE WEEK: The Red Sox are 10-0 when scoring first this season. It's the first time since at least 1918 that the club has won its first 10 games when scoring first.

They had neither spirit nor wisdom, and no recollection of their constructors, of their creators. ... They remembered nothing of the spirits of the sky; and that is why they came to nothing. Popol Vuh, the Mayan creation myth
If you can read this, the prophecies were false. Doomsday, ostensibly predicted by the Mayan calendar to occur on the 2012 winters solstice, passed unnoticed. Life goes on for a while, at least.
Of course, only a few people seriously believed that the so-called Mayan Apocalypse would coincide with the end of the 5,126-year Mayan calendar cycle. I was not one of them.
And neither were the Mayans, say most of the professional Meso-American anthropologists who study their ancient culture. They claim that the Mayans believed that their calendar cycle would end, perhaps with some disturbance in the cosmic order, but then a new cycle would begin, bringing joyous renewal to the world.
Thus I wrote in my Jan. 1, 2012, column, No apocalypse, no drama its unlikely that a single cataclysmic event will instantly change history. You, and the world, will probably still be here on New Years Day, 2013.
However, I went on to say, environmental degradation would continue apace in 2012, but its effects would probably be hidden from us at least in the developed world where living is relatively easy as they continued to degrade the environment upon which civilization rests. The real effects would be felt in the coming decades.
Perhaps I spoke too soon, for 2012 has been packed with one dramatic climate event after another, many of them rare or even unprecedented, and many beating their anticipated arrival by decades. Cumulatively, these events can be seen as a consistent pattern of climate destabilization. Indeed, 2012 may well be remembered as the year that marked the beginning of the end of the relatively stable climate humans have enjoyed since the dawn of civilization.
A chronological list of the dozens of major events in North America alone starting with massive tornado outbreaks and thunderstorm fronts in the spring; wending through this summers droughts, wildfires and record heat waves; and ending with Hurricane Sandy and Decembers ongoing drought would take far more space than is allotted for this column.
Such a list could also belie the significance of each event in the overall climate destabilization picture. So heres my take on some of the years major events in order of relative importance:
The great Arctic meltdown. A mass of Arctic sea ice the size of the continental U.S. melted into the ocean this summer. As that event transpired a cyclone the size of the entire Arctic Ocean struck the region, the entire surface of Greenlands vast ice sheet melted briefly, and Greenlands Petermann glacier calved an iceberg twice the size of Manhattan.
The extensive sea ice loss was predicted to occur around 2070, and the ice is not expected to recover; in fact many scientists now think the Arctic will be ice-free in summer by the end of this decade. Arctic ice acts as the planets air conditioner, and its loss will affect the climate throughout the Northern Hemisphere by raising temperatures and possibly slowing the jet stream, exacerbating droughts and flooding everywhere.
Record heat waves and droughts. Thousands of temperature records were set around the world, notably in the U.S. interior where a sudden-onset drought ruined billions of dollars worth of corn and soy crops. Long predicted by climate scientists as an effect of global warming, the drought has led to record federal crop insurance payments and affected food prices worldwide.
Storms and floods. Third place in the weather from hell contest goes to droughts evil twin, unprecedented flooding resulting from severe, unpredictable hurricanes, tornados and rainstorms. As well as damaging cities, immense storms and floods, like droughts, can also destroy crops.
Wildfires. The worst forest fire in Colorados history and the second-worst wildfire season in American history darkened Western skies. Along with destroying forests and homes, fires turn carbon sinks forests into atmospheric carbon sources.
So maybe it wasnt the full Mayan apocalypse, but weve certainly had a year of climate drama. Unfortunately, it was probably just a foretaste of things to come. Could be, 2012 will go down as the year we passed the point of no return or the year nature sent us a message we cant afford to ignore at our ecological house.

Catholic Schools Week continues with open house
Saint Ann School showed parents and community members how it is raising the standards Tuesday during an open house.
"Catholic Schools Raise the Standards" is this year's theme for Catholic Schools Week.
Visitors were treated to performances by the kindergarten class, the fourth-grade class and the school band during the opening assembly in the parish hall.
Following the assembly, everyone visited the classrooms.
Principal Mary Little addressed the assembly.
"Catholic schools teach academic excellence and high moral standards," she said.
Little said the theme "Catholic Schools Raise the Standards" celebrate the constant attention Catholic educators pay to increasing the learning and growing in faith of their students.
"The 2013 logo of National Catholic Schools Week is drawn from the national standards and benchmarks for effective Catholic education in elementary and secondary schools," she said. "It is to ensure that consistent high standards at Catholic schools across the country. The National Catholic Schools Week logo illustrates and charts the steady growth culminating in the highest achievement of all — a cross representing the faith that underscores all Catholic education."
She said Catholic schools educate the whole child.
"Our education does not stop with academic achievement," Little said. "It continues with the physical, social and spiritual development of the child. Our curriculum starts with a strong foundation in the basic skills, the three Rs — reading, writing and arithmetic. There is also a fourth R, religion."
She said the Catholic faith is taught in age-appropriate ways every school day to give students a strong, moral underpinning to each child's personal development.
"We at Saint Ann School are blessed to offer even more Rs — the fine arts," said Little. "Students have weekly art and music lessons and have the opportunity to participate in band, choir, even private music lessons. The high standards of Catholic schools are proclaimed and maintained by our faculty."
She said the teachers open the gates of knowledge and love — skills that bring out the potential in each child.
"The many staff, parents and volunteers in our schools fill in wherever they are needed, giving their time and talent to serving God by serving our young people," she said. "The recent tally for parent-participation hours for the first half of the school year shows more than 4,000 hours logged in volunteering in the classrooms, on field trips and working fundraisers."
Little said the school's benefactors, the pastors and parishioners of Saint Ann Parish and Our Lady of the Desert, make possible a Catholic education for any practicing Catholic family in the community that could not afford it.
"Because of all these groups, we can indeed say Catholic Schools raise the standards," she said.

Former Plaistow Fish & Game Club treasurer set to be sentenced
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
BRENTWOOD - A former treasurer for the Plaistow Fish & Game Club is expected to learn his punishment this week for stealing roughly $200,000 from the nonprofit group.
Alan Colby, 52, will be sentenced Friday afternoon on six counts of theft by unauthorized taking. He could face up to 7½ to 15 years in state prison on each of the charges.
A jury convicted Colby in January.
Prosecutors say Colby took the money over a three-year period beginning in July 2008 to shore up his failing construction business, Senter Brothers Inc., and returned roughly $96,000 before drawing the attention of police.
Prosecutors will recommend a punishment for Colby at Friday's hearing, but the decision will ultimately be left up to a judge.
At trial, Colby claimed he had no intent to actually steal the funds, and got caught up in a piecemeal scheme to borrow and return money.
Public defender Anthony Naro told jurors that Colby's financial woes were the result of a foundering economy and being victimized by a number of burglaries.
Club members realized their books were off when they began to ask Colby about handing over records needed for an audit around late 2010, according to court testimony. Before going to police, the club's then president, John Poole, realized Colby had been transferring thousands of dollars electronically to his construction business, Senter Brothers, from the club's accounts.
Colby returned about $96,000 during the three-year period, but the club was left with a $104,000 deficit, prosecutors said.
Assistant County Attorney Stephanie Johnson argued that Colby only stopped taking money from the account when the bank barred his access to it.
A review of court documents show Colby had filed for Chapter 11 and was being scrutinized by the IRS related to his construction business months after he began siphoning money from the game club.
The Chapter 11 filing by Colby was related to rental properties he owned, but a judge ultimately dismissed the request because Colby did not complete all the paperwork required for the claim.
In 2009, the IRS was investigating Senter Brothers Inc. for its tax liability between tax years 2003 and 2008, Stephen Jerome, an IRS revenue officer, said in a court declaration. Jerome had summonsed Colby on July 22, 2009, to testify and provide records regarding the construction business, but Colby failed to appear for the hearing, according to court records.
That prompted the IRS to ask a judge to enforce the summons.
Colby is currently free on bail.

In a statement released today, Apple announced it is suing HTC, claiming the Taiwanese phone maker infringed upon 20 of Cupertino's patents related to the iPhone. After Nokia and Apple suing one another a number of times over the past couple of months, this is the next high-profile patent lawsuit in the mobile phones business. Engadget has the filings, and it seems that Apple wants to avoid angering Microsoft, but has no qualms about taking on Google. Update: Engadget analyses every single patent in the claim.

The cupcake police: Stop! In the name of lard!
May 15. 2013 8:54PM
Here is a question for the Manchester Board of School Committee: What children are becoming obese on birthday party cupcakes?
The school board's Coordination Committee on Tuesday approved revisions to the district's nutrition guidelines. Some of the revisions make sense. Serving sizes for high-calorie beverages (fruit juice, yogurt drinks, etc.) are reduced to age-appropriate portions, for instance. But the committee got carried away when it went about trying to micromanage in-class birthday celebrations.
The new policy recommends to teachers that they hold only one class birthday party per month "unless nutrition standards for healthy snacks are followed." If parents want to send apple slices to school with their little darlings, then it's birthday parties galore. If they want to send cupcakes, it's one treat per kid per month.
"If there were three birthdays in a week, a student could have cupcakes three times," Sue Sheehy, the school district's consultant dietitian, said.
Oh, NO! Not three cupcakes in one week!
The most sensible comment on the matter was from school board member Debra Gangnon Langton, a sixth-grade teacher. "I don't think we should be the food police," she said. "I don't want to hear that can't happen. It's a child's special day."
It will not be so special after it is micromanaged into a dull, gray, joyless, politically correct lesson in good nutrition.
This is not about making sure the school cafeteria serves healthy lunches. It is not really about obesity. It is about the desire to dictate choices down to the very snack foods children can enjoy on their birthdays. If this policy passes, it is a small step to dictating the contents of brown-bag lunches and mom-packed mid-morning snacks. Let the children enjoy their birthdays, cake and all.

High-end auto export scam sending NH-titled cars to China smashed
April 29. 2013 5:28PM
CONCORD - Federal and state law enforcement, homeland security and customs authorities have shut down an elaborate auto-export scam that saw 93 luxury vehicles from 16 states illegally sent to China for resale at exorbitant prices, perhaps as much as twice their original retail value.
Two naturalized U.S. citizens, Frank Hsiao Chien Ku, 31, of San Gabriel, Calif., and Danny Chin Hao Hsu, 33, of West Covina, Calif., pleaded guilty last year to mail fraud and violation of U.S. Customs laws as the operators of the scam. The charges were unsealed Monday, and the two will be sentenced in U.S. District Court at 10 a.m. Tuesday, said U.S. Attorney John Kacavas at a news conference.
Kacavas said 11 of the 93 illegally exported vehicles were illegally titled in New Hampshire, although, he said, only one was actually purchased in the state, at BMW of Stratham. The scammers unsuccessfully attempted to title three others in the state, he said.
New Hampshire was among the involved states because it has neither a sales tax nor a compulsory auto insurance law, allowing the scammers to increase their profits when they sold the vehicles overseas, said Kacavas.
Under U.S. Customs laws and regulations, the export of new motor vehicles is prohibited. The scammers utilized straw buyers? throughout the country, including two to three?from New Hampshire, who were promised money to help them.
Ku and Hsu, Kacavas said, obtained fraudulent title applications in the name of those straw buyers and other agents in order to then obtain documentation required by U.S. Customs to make it appear that the vehicles were actually used and thus legal for export.
Kacavas said the charges, while felonies, will not warrant incarceration
"Incarceration is not our goal here,"? Kacavas said. ?"Our goal has been to recoup what we can in terms of the cars and those are being forfeited under forfeiture procedures being pursued by U.S. Customs."? He said the probe began in October 2009 and ended in March 2012.
The 93 vehicles had a total value of more than $5.5 million, said Kacavas. He said 14 vehicles seized at the Port of Long Beach, Calif., before being exported had a value of $750,000, he said. The rest of the vehicles, he said, are "gone."?
Kacavas, flanked by federal Homeland Security officials, state Commissioner of Safety John Barthelmes, Col. Robert Quinn of the New Hampshire State Police, and state Division of Motor Vehicles director Richard Bailey, said while the scam was squelched, others like it are under way in New Hampshire and around the nation.
"This is just a fraction of what's going on," said David B. Cushman of the Holloway Motor Cars Mercedes Benz dealership in Manchester.
"It's a way for a quick buck," added Paul Holloway, who owns that dealership and several others in the state and who attended the news conference along with Cushman and other dealers.
"We were very fortunate," Holloway said, hailing the "unbelievable" cooperation among the various law enforcement agencies involved.
Holloway said that while his companies were not directly involved in the Ku-Hsu scam, over the past three years he has lost "in the six figures" in charge-backs from manufacturers and missed commissions as a result of similar scams.
According to Kacavas, dealerships are often subject to financial penalties imposed by the manufacturers if they allow sales of new vehicles for export. But he said the scam announced Monday was broken early enough that "there have been no charge-backs to dealers that we know of."?
Ku and Hsu paid straw buyers to use their addresses to title vehicles or to actually purchase the vehicles, using funds from Ku and Hsu's California firm, CFLA, Ltd., through a New Hampshire bank account.
Kacavas said there were "two to three" straw buyers involved in the Ku-Hsu scheme, who allowed them to establish fraudulent addresses in Farmington and Stratham. He said these buyers could have been subject to criminal charges, "but we elected not to charge" them.
"They cooperated fully with us and helped us uncover the scam,"? said Kacavas, who also credited town clerks and state Division of Motor Vehicle personnel for their "vigilance" in helping to uncover the scheme.
Straw buyers, he said, were approached at "random, no pattern."
He said Ku and Hsu would "scan Craigslist, looking for someone not of means who is looking for a roommate or something like that, and say, 'In lieu of actually moving in, we'll pay your rent, but we need to use your address.'?
"And they'd say, 'We'll pay you so much money to use your address and in fact if you want to make a little more money, you can be a straw buyer for us and we'll send you to dealers in New Hampshire and elsewhere to buy a car in your name, and we'll pay for it,'"? Kacavas explained.
That is how the two scammers were able to use false addresses in Farmington and Stratham, obtain driver's licenses, certificates of title and register the vehicles.
"Town clerks in Farmington, Stratham and other town clerks around New Hampshire were so key in uncovering this," Kacavas said.
The two admitted scammers never lived in the state but visited the state and employed "agents" to come to the state to purchase vehicles, Kacavas said.
Kacavas said that although New Jersey was the site of the higher number of purchases illegally exported vehicles in the Ku-Hsu scam, "This is a far-flung enterprise that was uncovered in the state of New Hampshire."
He said all agencies have pledged cooperation "so that scammers understand that you're going to get caught, your going to be charged and you're going to be sentenced as federal felons."?

Engine Control Module (ECM) Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is an engine computer (ecm/pcm)?
The engine control management computer, also called the engine control module (ECM) or the powertrain control module (PCM), is a modern computer that receives inputs from nearly every system on the vehicle, and instantaneously uses that information to deliver appropriate engine power for operating conditions.
How does the engine computer (ecm/pcm) work?
Battery power is supplied to the ECM, or PCM, and the ECM is programmed to send that electricity at regulated voltage to engine sensors, other control units, other devices on the network, and every system in the vehicle that depends on information from the PCM to function properly. Information is simultaneously passed back into the ECM from all of these locations, allowing the PCM to monitor conditions, and be monitored for conditions at all times.
Find a Certified Mechanic
What are the symptoms related to a bad engine computer (ecm/pcm)?
When the ECM fails, being one of the more important computers on the vehicle, the ECM may make erroneous calculations, fail to connect, fail to operate, or fail to interpret data correctly. This leads to constant malfunctions in most systems in the vehicle, as every system dependant on ECM data have improper signals from the ECM. This will trigger the check engine light, and the possibilities of on-board diagnostic (OBD) trouble codes stored are endless. However, in many situations, a computerized scanning tool, or a handheld scanner will fail to connect to the vehicle. The symptoms of the vehicle depend on which systems use the portion of the PCM damaged, but, generally, when the PCM fails, the vehicle does not start and run.
Can I drive with a engine computer (ecm/pcm) problem?
In most situations, driving a vehicle with a failed ECM is impossible, as the systems needed to run the vehicle are not being instructed any longer. The ECM/PCM is a vital computer, and with this component sending erroneous signals, the vehicle will most likely never start, or the engine will randomly shut off. If a vehicle is responding very strangely to driver inputs, the vehicle should be towed to a repair facility.
How often do engine computers (ecm/pcm) need to be replaced?
The engine control module, or powertrain control module, is known to fail frequently in small groups of vehicles, however, failure in most vehicles is not extremely common. Most vehicles will be crushed with the original ECM in place. That is not to say it cannot happen, in fact, as early as 75,000 miles, up to 125,000 miles is the most common range for ECM replacement for several popular vehicles.
Costs for related repairs
How are engine computer (ecm/pcm) issues diagnosed?
When the ECM is suspected of failure, the particular specifications of that unit must be referenced, so the technician knows what the correct readings should be. The ECM will be tested by comparing actual readings to specified readings, following any specific diagnostic steps for that ECM, and confirming diagnosis after each pin has been tested for all necessary parameters. Since there are so many possible failure symptoms, it is not possible to speculate which pin to check, but reference materials will guide the technician through the process of locating the pins/wires that correspond to the issue they are chasing.
How is a engine computer (ecm/pcm) replaced?
Replacing the ECM is normally easy, since diagnostics will require the ECM be accessed for diagnostic testing, prior to replacement, and the process of replacement actually starts there. The technician may need component location reference material to find where the manufacturer installed the ECM. In most vehicles, the ECM is in the engine bay, but a few manufacturers place the ECM inside the vehicle. In some vehicles, the ECM is even located in the trunk. Once the PCM has been located, any obstructions to testing and replacement must be removed, and testing begins. If the ECM fails diagnostic testing, the PCM will be unplugged, replaced, and reconnected to the vehicle prior to final assembly and testing.
RepairPal Recommendations for engine computer (ecm/pcm) issues
Electrical diagnostics in general can be problematic, and there are many variables to account for. When electrical problems arise, diagnostics may take several hours to complete, or just a few minutes. This will significantly impact the cost of repairs. Choosing a facility with proper equipment and training for their staff may significantly reduce diagnostic time needed.
What to look out for when dealing with engine computer (ecm/pcm) issues
The battery connects directly to the engine, meaning it is grounded to the same point as many engine sensors. If the battery is incorrectly installed in a vehicle, such as installing or jump-starting the battery backwards, the ECM can be destroyed, along with some sensors and wiring. In many occasions, the ECM/PCM connector, harness, or pins inside the connector socket fail, and cannot make a proper connection to the ECM. Except for a broken or missing pin, these items can be replaced, and the vehicle retested.
Can I replace the engine computer (ecm/pcm) myself?
Replacing the ECM on most vehicles is fairly easy, but accessing the control module usually requires searching behind panels if the component cannot be identified through a vehicle repair database. In many cases, the ECM looks much like a few other computers that are mounted in the vehicle, and removing a few panels to find the wrong module will quickly become frustrating. If proper experience, and reference materials are available, the ECM can be replaced, but many will need to be calibrated by the manufacturer. If this process is understood, and the ECM is adapted to the vehicle, this is a money saver, however, if diagnostic procedures are not fully understood, this should be trusted to a professional.

I have a bumper sticker that reads "Don't believe everything you think." I love that sticker and mentally I add to it and say "Don't believe everything you think or feel." It kind of goes along with a quote I heard that went something like, " I used to think that my brain was the most important part of my body. Then I thought 'WHOA! Who is telling me that?'"
Our emotions and intellect are pretty incredible features of being human and they are what makes each of us unique and interesting and provide our ability to enjoy life. However, they are not failsafe and, quite frequently, our ideas get developed within the isolation of each of our own existences. Ever get upset or angry at a situation and then later on you figure out "the rest of the story"? Either you calm down or you learn something new that changes the whole picture and you can see the situation from a different, better angle. There is so much more to us and the world around us than our initial thoughts and reactions allow for.
So this New Year, I would challenge us all to make this resolution: I will not believe everything I think or feel. I will slow down, and I won't react right away. Experience what your brain has to say and then be quiet for a while. It might help us all to keep the anger out of our relationships, keep the politics at a less shrill level and help us view the world through both our own brain but also the world around us. It is a beautiful world if we choose to believe in it.

Police at first thought victim was the driver, but now say his brother was behind the wheel in alcohol related crash
The man injured Sunday evening in a car crash on Highway 119 has died and police say the driver who could face felony vehicular manslaughter charges is the victim's brother.
The name of the dead man has not been released.
But the man believed to be the driver has been identified as Leobardo Lopez-Martinez, 23.
He is the dead man's brother, Taft Police Lt. Pete Aranda said, and being held on felony drunk driving charges as police continue their investigation into the crash
There were beer bottles in the car and some scattered in the grass near where the car came to rest after impacting the tree. Officers said the crash is definitely alcohol related
The crash took place about 7:30 p.m. on the west side of Highway 119 just north of Kern Street.
Witnesses said the car was northbound on the highway when it started sliding and went off the roadway before crashing into the tree.
Two victims, believed at first by Taft Police to be passengers, escaped with minor injuries.
But the third victim was unconscious and not breathing when passers-by arrived on scene.
Two, Curtis Ashmore and Chaney Burris, began administering rescue breathing and CPR and revived the victim.
He stopped breathing a second time but was again revived with the help of a Kern County Sheriff's deputy.
The victim was airlifted to Kern Medical Center but died overnight from his injuries.
Taft Police officers at the scene were at first were told the critically injured man was the driver, but subsequent investigation led to the arrest of Lopez-Martinez.
Kern County Superior Court records show he was charged with drunk driving in November 2011 but failed to appear for his arraignment.
Records also show he was convicted of driving without a license in August 2010 and fined $700 and placed on 3 years probation.
