Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:32:06 GMT

A judge has not yet reached a decision as to whether Derek Rosa, a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering his mother, will remain at an adult jail facility or will be transferred to a juvenile detention center pending his trial. Rosa currently remains at Metro West Detention, an adult facility that opened a juvenile wing in October. He is one of 34 young inmates at the facility and is the youngest. The other 33 inmates are between 16 and 17 years old.During the hearing on Friday, Rosa’s attorneys made their case to have the teenager moved to a juvenile-only facility. His attorneys spend most of the afternoon asking questions about every aspect of his life while he was behind bars at the Metro West. On Tuesday, one of his attorney’s talked about their request to have Rosa moved out of the jail.“We don’t believe that Metro West has the capabilities to house Derek right now,” said Dayliset Rielo, a defense attorney. “Metro West is housing juveniles as...

Local researchers test high-tech barriers as new way to keep swimmers safe from sharks 

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:32:06 GMT

With the recent uptick in shark encounters along the coast of Cape Cod, a new device could soon be used to keep swimmers safe. “Exclusion Barrier” is a network of black plastic pipes that are supposed to keep people and sharks separate. 7NEWS recently spoke with Dr. Craig O’Connell, a shark researcher with the O’Seas Conservation Foundation, who said any measure to minimize risk is one worth trying.“It is the sharks’ realm,” O’Connell said. “It is their environment and we do have to enter with caution.”O’Connell said a large, visual structure such as the Exclusion Barrier system “works very well on visual predators like the great white shark.” “As those sharks swim closer and closer to the barrier, the electromagnetic field gets stronger and stronger and it basically gives them a little bit of a shock and they swim away,” O’Connell said. The barriers were tested in Chatham this past summer. Tuna bait was even used to tempt the sharks. “We had to ...

Rick Kogan | Chicago Tribune (TNS)CHICAGO — Here, ladies and gentlemen, is Bob Newhart:“Somebody called me up and they said, ‘Look, Don Rickles is looking for a best friend … and none of us wanna do it. Would you?’“And I said, ‘How long?’“They said, ‘A year at the most.’”Bob Newhart and Don Rickles were friends for nearly 60 years and that unlikely pairing has been captured, the above joke included, in the latest film from Judd Apatow, the acclaimed director/producer of such hit movies as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “The King of Staten Island,” and TV’s “Freaks and Geeks.”This movie, co-directed by Michael Bonfiglio, is titled “Bob and Don: A Love Story.” It is only 20 minutes long and playing not in theaters or on any streaming service.

New Red Sox hires have legend’s stamp of approval

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:32:06 GMT

The Red Sox are hoping that two blasts from the past can build a brighter future.In an endeavor to right the ship after three last-place finishes in four years, they fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom and pitching coach Dave Bush, and replaced them with Craig Breslow and Andrew Bailey.As pitchers, Breslow and Bailey shared the Boston bullpen (and the Oakland A’s bullpen before that) for a couple of seasons, including the 2013 championship run. Since retiring, they’ve found success on different tracks: Breslow as an executive credited with turning the Chicago Cubs into an impressive pitching development machine, Bailey as a coach who made San Francisco’s pitching staff one of the best in baseball over the last four years.Both hires have been met with overwhelming approval, including from a notable former teammate.“I think it’s a good idea,” David Ortiz told the Herald on Friday. “Hiring guys that are familiar with what we got going on i...
