Fighting breaks out inside Russia as Prigozhin’s rebellion menaces Moscow

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Russian forces on Saturday appeared to bombard the southern city of Voronezh in an attempt to extinguish a rebellion by mercenary troops loyal to the embittered warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is now posing one of the gravest threats to President Vladimir Putin’s nearly 25-year rule. Putin had earlier raised the specter of civil war after Prigozhin, furious over the Kremlin’s bungled invasion of Ukraine, seized key parts of southern Russia — most crucially the major strategic city of Rostov-on-Don — and threatened to march on Moscow. In a sign that fears of internal conflict are not far-fetched, Chechen strongman and Putin loyalist Ramzan Kadyrov vowed to throw his fighters behind the president and take on Prigozhin’s Wagner Group in Rostov. “The rebellion must be crushed, and if this requires harsh measures, then we are ready!” he said. Images of shelling in Voronezh, some 500 kilometers south of Moscow, could not immediately be verified, but the governor...

Who You Gonna Call?: New Bedford fan recreates ‘Ghostbusters’ Ectomobile

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

While cars of all kinds come and go in New Bedford, Ethan Tripp’s ride is unique to say the least.Because propped on top, with proton packs in the back, almost every angle of his Toyota Rav has been converted into a more modern-day replica of the infamous Ecto 1 from “Ghostbusters.”“This is my everyday car,” Tripp said. “Something about that just said yep I can make this work. The array on top helps them hunt ghosts.”“I think of it more as my own Ecto so it’s the Ecto 84.”Born on June 8, 1984, Tripp said his dedication to fictional fun was undeniably destiny.“That is the day that “Ghostbusters” was also released in theaters,” he said, “so the running joke is instead of celebrating my birthday I like to celebrate ‘Ghostbusters’ release day.”Having been a fan all his life, he had every toy made from the movie. Not only does he enjoy the costume for cosplay but as an adult, he decided to take things a step further.“It just see...

Boys lacrosse year in review: SJP officially a dynasty

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Entering the season, John Pynchon wasn’t exactly too sure what to make of his group.Sure, St. John’s Prep was coming off back-to-back Div. 1 boys lacrosse championships, and he knew there was potential. But the Eagles had lost so many key pieces he worried if a three-peat was truly possible.Turns out it was. St. John’s Prep (22-1) is now officially in the midst of a dynasty, having knocked off BC High to win the crown again.The latest title bout between the two Catholic Conference foes proved to be the most epic, as Johns Hopkins commit Jimmy Ayers (five goals, assist) and junior star Jake Vana (four goals, two assists) combined to rally the Eagles from a four-goal fourth quarter deficit to an unforgettable 16-14 victory. In doing so, St. John’s Prep avenged its lone MIAA loss of the season, and added another piece of hardware to the trophy case.Most pundits were saying that if there ever was a year for Reading to win the Div. 2 title, it was this one. The Rockets (22-1) delivered o...

Volleyball year in review: Needham writes chapter in record books

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Preaching his famous “corner our performance” response throughout, what’s proved almost as rare as Needham’s 73-game win streak is head coach Dave Powell acknowledging it – let alone opening up about it to reporters.Yet, in the moments after the Rockets realized a third straight perfect season by beating Newton North in the Div. 1 state final at Worcester State, becoming just the third MIAA boys volleyball program to three-peat, he had much more to say in reflection of a challenging year.The picture that opposing coaches painted in the preseason suggested that this season – of all three since the pandemic – presented the best chance for a different team to raise the championship trophy. They said the Div. 1 state tournament was wide open for the first time since 2019, and they weren’t wrong.In turn, the target on Needham’s back was larger than ever. Constant updates of the growing historic mark served as a daily reminder of exactly what the Rockets tried not to focus on. Every set o...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Once again, Taunton is the rule of the roost.For the third time in four years Taunton captured the Div. 1 state championship as it rolled past BC High, St. John’s Shrewsbury, and Hockomock Kelley-Rex league rival Franklin to capture the title.The Tigers are just the fourth Div. 1 team since 1990 to win three state titles joining New Bedford, BC High, and Xaverian.While Taunton won the crown, Methuen stole a lot of hearts and minds as the No. 21 seeded Rangers defeated No. 12 Andover, No. 5 Xaverian, and No. 4 Central Catholic to reach the state semifinals. Matt Pappalardo asserted himself as one of the state’s best.Brendan Morrissey’s Milton crew won their second straight title, again defeating King Philip in the season finale. Owen McHugh and Scott Longo formed one of the premier 1-2 combinations in the state while Tommy Mitchell provided key relief in the postseason.Whitman-Hanson showed it may be primed for contention for the foreseeable future.

One year later, the Supreme Court’s abortion decision is both scorned and praised

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:06:25 GMT

Activists and politicians are marking the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that overturned a nationwide right to abortion by both bashing and celebrating it.Rallies on both sides were scheduled for Saturday in Washington and across the country.In a statement, President Joe Biden pledged to protect access and decried the court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The court’s conservative majority on June 24, 2022, overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, which had been in place for nearly a half-century.“States have imposed extreme and dangerous abortion bans that put the health and lives of women in jeopardy, force women to travel hundreds of miles for care, and threaten to criminalize doctors for providing the health care that their patients need and that they are trained to provide,” Biden said.Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel praised the ruling, which was made possible by former President Donald Trump&...
