The state’s police chiefs do not support the Legislature’s efforts to strengthen Massachusetts gun laws — and it’s unanimous.Mark Leahy, former chief of the Northboro Police Department and the executive director of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, said his organization recently met and voted to come out against Bill HD.4607, or An Act modernizing firearm laws.The bill simply won’t reduce crime, Leahy said.“Earlier today our membership met.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:39:00 GMT

NEW YORK — The trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried took a star turn when his former fellow top executive, and girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, testified against him, saying he directed her to commit crimes before his cryptocurrency empire collapsed last November.The Stanford-educated Ellison, 28, testifying in Manhattan federal court throughout the afternoon, said she committed fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering along with Bankman-Fried and others.Asked by a prosecutor about Bankman-Fried’s involvement, she said: “He directed me to commit these crimes.”Repeatedly, Ellison made clear that Bankman-Fried was behind the biggest financial moves in his companies, to the point that bitcoins he created were sometimes called “Sam’s coins.”She described him as “very ambitious” and envisioning eventually leading huge companies and using his money influentially.He even thought there was a 5% chance he’d become president s...

Will the 'ring of fire' solar eclipse Saturday be visible in San Diego?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:39:00 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- A highly-anticipated solar eclipse will be visible from numerous U.S. states on Saturday, creating a "ring of fire" as the moon passes in front of the sun.Called an annular eclipse, the spectacle is different than other types of eclipses, as the moon will be at its farthest distance from earth on its ellipse-shaped orbit when it moves to block the light from the sun. When it is at this distance, known as the apogee, the moon's positioning blocks less of the sun, causing a bright ring effect around its shape."When an object is closer, it occupies a greater angle in the sky than when it's further away," explained Douglas Leonard, associate professor of astronomy at San Diego State University. "What you'll get is the moon blocking the sun, but there will be a ray of the solar disk around the moon that's still visible. It's called the 'Ring of Fire.'" Fall foliage is soon to arrive in San Diego County: When and where to see it However, the ring will only be visible in the...
