‘Smartphones’ for sharks: Scientists upgrade sensors to keep track of Cape Cod’s white sharks

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:40 GMT

Scientists monitoring the white shark population in the waters off Massachusetts’ Cape Cod are attaching improved sensors, including cameras, to the predators to help scientists keep track of their whereabouts and to keep beachgoers informed and safe, researchers said Tuesday.The program comes just as tourists are filling up hotels and rental properties on the Cape for the summer — and white sharks are returning in greater numbers to feed on the region’s abundant seals.Interactions between white sharks and humans are rare. But the risk is still there. There have been five in Massachusetts since 2012 — three of them classified as bites, one of which was fatal, said Greg Skomal, the state Division of Marine Fisheries shark expert.“So as a result, we’ve intensified our research off the Cape to study various aspects of white shark behavior,” Skomal said.For more than a decade, the fisheries division and the nonprofit Atlantic White Shark Conservancy...

Trump pleads ‘not guilty’ to 37 felony charges, slams ‘sham indictment’

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:40 GMT

The day started with a suspicious package alert, then a historic arraignment, a stop at a Little Havana eatery after and a rally at a New Jersey golf club where Donald Trump slammed what he called a “sham indictment.”It was an unprecedented day in American history.“Not guilty,” former President Trump said around 3 p.m. in answering to 37 counts leveled against him by the government he once led, before placing his immediate future into the hands of Judge Aileen Cannon in a Miami federal court. The 42-year-old has been a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida since 2020 when she was appointed by the former president.“This is a day that will go down in infamy … and threatening me with 400 days in prison” is a “heinous abuse,” Trump said at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ, just before 9 p.m.“I had every right to have these documents,” he added, citing former President Bill Clinton’s...

Ryan MacDougall once again found a way to save his best for last.MacDougall laced a tie-breaking three-run triple in the fourth to give the Tigers their first lead while Brady Morin fired 4.1 key innings of relief as Taunton earned a spot in the Div. 1 state title game in an 10-6 win over No. 6 St John’s Shrewsbury on Tuesday night at Holy Cross.The defending champion Tigers (20-4) will make their third state final appearance in four years.“Our guys just enjoy playing the game,” Taunton coach Blair Bourque said. “I don’t think anyone plays these games to win state championships. We play for our teammates, ourselves, our family, and our community. I’ve just incredibly proud of what these guys have accomplished so far.”St. John’s held a tenuous 3-2 lead in the bottom of the third, but a MacDougall’s two-out RBI single to center evened the score.One inning later, the Dayton signee who lifted Taunton to the state championship a year ago with a tie-breaking home run in the final ve...

Column: Can the Chicago Cubs awaken from a bad dream, or is this the new normal?

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:40 GMT

The mystery ailment to Seiya Suzuki remained a secret Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, though the Chicago Cubs right fielder was back in the starting lineup for the rain-delayed game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.“My body feels really good,” Suzuki said through an interpreter. “These past couple days I’ve just been dreaming. … I’ve been having those dreams of getting bullied. But I feel like I’m back.”That also sounded like a perfect explanation for what has been ailing the Cubs, who returned from a 4-6 West Coast trip nine games under .500 after starting the season 12-7.Maybe it all has been just a bad dream, and the Cubs suddenly will wake up against the division-leading Pirates, whom they play six times in their next nine games in home-and-away series.The Cubs have been pushed around since their hot start, posting a .347 winning percentage (16-30) and threatening to fall into sellers at the trade deadline for the third straight seas...

The team is wrapping up its offseason program with two more practices scheduled Wednesday and Thursday. As head coach Matt Eberflus continues shaping his team in advance of training camp, here are four things we learned Tuesday at Halas Hall.1.

Claypool has been off the practice field the past three weeks with what was originally described as an unspecified soft-tissue injury. Now, per Eberflus, there is more than one thing to keep an eye on. And Claypool’s missed practice time is significant as he tries to take a big leap forward in his first full season with the Bears, develop/ing timing and building rapport with quarterback Justin Fields.“Training ca...

Speedy Notre Dame Academy runs past East Longmeadow, 22-6

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:28:40 GMT

WALPOLE — To truly have a shot at beating Notre Dame Academy of Hingham’s girls lacrosse team, you have to prove that you can run with the Cougars, who possess uncommon team speed.For the first half of Tuesday’s Division 2 state semifinal, heavy underdog East Longmeadow did just that, and were within shouting distance.But after that, East Longmeadow found out what everyone who has played NDA already knows: running with the Cougars for 50 minutes is a different story.NDA pulled away with a dominant second half in a 22-6 rout that was on running clock for most of the second half. The Cougars are now 24-0 and advance to the state final, where they hope to repeat as D2 state champs.East Longmeadow’s season ends at 18-4.“Absolutely, I think, especially this team, I think that was why it was a tougher first half for us,” said NDA’s Emma Connerty, who scored four goals. “They kept up. They were keeping up. That threw us off, because we like our fas...
