Portsmouth firefighters saved a man Thursday morning after he became trapped in a cherry picker, a hydraulic crane with a raised platform, at Clements' Market in Portsmouth.

Imagine being a Giants' fan and being surrounded by Patriots' fans at work? It's a reality for one local manager.
Imagine being the only New York Giants' fan in your workplace during the week before the Super Bowl? For Clements' Market store manager David Perry, this has become reality. Perry, one of only a few Giants' fans at Clements' Market, has heard a few jokes and comments against his favorite team, but that hasn't stopped him from keeping his Giants' helmet in his office this week leading up to the big game. We spoke with Perry this week about his team and why they have a shot at a Super Bowl win. A fellow co-worker might have played a little trick during the filming, which can be seen in the video above. Perry had no idea what was behind him during filming. The Patriots will take on the New York Giants at Super Bowl XLVI this Sunday, Feb. 5…

Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Jack Reed spoke Friday morning about extending unemployment benefits and the expiring payroll tax cut.
