Some Mid-Week Rain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:17:25 GMT

Patchy fog and patchy mist kick off this Monday morning as many of us head back to work, and some of us back to school! For the start of school in Worcester, today looks pretty quiet with temps running into the mid to upper 70s this afternoon under a partly sunny sky. That’ll generally be the theme across much of the region as partial sunshine wins out and temps hold in the low 70s at the coast and run 75-80 inland. Low clouds and patchy fog reform tonight, yielding to a few breaks of sun mid to late morning tomorrow. We’ll likely track some scattered showers tomorrow afternoon, especially south of the Mass Pike. Scattered showers and storms run through tomorrow night into Wednesday, with some localized bands of heavy rain possible Wednesday morning/midday. Wednesday afternoon, the rain chances start to drop off and by Wednesday night, lower humidity and dry skies come rushing in. That’ll set up a fantastic Thursday. As high pressure settles in to end the week, ver...

Orioles reset: John Angelos should stop talking. Here are 3 ways he can get his critics to do the same. | ANALYSIS

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:17:25 GMT

Before Félix Bautista’s elbow, the main disruptor of the Orioles’ good vibes this season was John Angelos’ mouth.Numerous times this year, the club’s CEO and chairman has needlessly turned the spotlight on himself with both his actions and words. The trend began in January — when he derailed his own news conference by breaking into a rant about Martin Luther King Jr. while making his first fraudulent offer to publicize the Orioles’ finances — and has carried into last week, with an article from The New York Times in which Angelos took center stage amid his team’s success and squalled about its economical capabilities of retaining its young stars without raising the prices fans pay at Camden Yards.Between, during a nearly 40-minute media session in February at the team’s spring training complex, he noted the Orioles were “lucky” with the timing of the coronavirus pandemic and unnecessarily doubled down on his offe...

Throwing out the first pitch to David Ortiz at Fenway Park is something most people never have the opportunity to experience.For Middleborough’s Dominic Driscoll, taking the mound ahead of Saturday’s game between the Red Sox and Dodgers was part of an unforgettable day en route to his goal of being a professional baseball player.Even more impressive than Driscoll’s nationally recognized talent entering his eighth-grade season is his unwavering work ethic despite a congenital heart condition. His efforts were recognized and rewarded during the April Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island 40th Anniversary Gala.Ortiz, recognized during the gala for his contributions to the Make-A-Wish organization, announced his 40th wish granted would be to spend a day with Driscoll and his family. Driscoll told the Herald when you’re in Boston with Big Papi, it’s a surreal experience.“I would definitely say I was starstruck,” Driscoll said. “It’s like walking around with the President.

Lucas: Prigozhin’s death reveals dark side of power, politics, and Russia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:17:25 GMT

Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin never read Machiavelli.Or Ralph Waldo Emerson.Otherwise, he might still be alive.It was Italian diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1532) in his famous treatise “The Prince,” which is a dark study about obtaining and keeping power, who wrote that when you strike an opponent or an enemy you must kill him, or else he will seek retribution and kill you.Emerson (1803-1882), a well-known philosopher from Concord, reworked that to mean, “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”Prigozhin, head of a mercenary army called the Wagner Group, which fought unhappily fought for Putin in Ukraine, led a short-lived mutiny against Putin in June. Prigozhin, in a march on Moscow, sought the ouster of several of Putin’s generals and perhaps even Putin himself.Prigozhin struck but failed to kill the king.Putin called the failed coup treason and accused his former friend of stabbing him in the back.Days later Putin appeared to have forgiven him and allowed ...
