Right whale sighting in Cape Cod Canal a positive sign for future of species, scientists say 

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:39 GMT

A recent right whale sighting provided hope over the weekend as a mother whale and her calf were seen feeding in the Cape Cod Canal. The right whale is one of the most endangered whale species in the world. This weekend’s sighting, scientists said, is a positive sign for the species’ future as whales reproduce.“Even if we stop killing the whales, if we don’t give them enough of an opportunity to bulk up and get pregnant and half calves and do what that animal was doing — No amount of effort will make a difference if we can’t also get them healthy enough to make more calves,” Dr. Michael Moore of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution said. “So, it’s really good to see a calf there.”Officials temporarily closed the Cape Cod Canal on Sunday to make way for the whales as they moved through the area. The sighting, in turn, followed other right whale sightings in recent weeks and months as officials and scientists keep close watch on local w...

Yankees Notebook: Rob Thomson returns to the Bronx

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:39 GMT

Rob Thomson thought the chance to manage had passed him by when the Yankees hired Aaron Boone in 2017.Thomson spent nearly three decades with the organization, most recently as bench coach from 2015-2017. The loyal pinstriper interviewed to succeed Joe Girardi, but the Yankees plucked the inexperienced Boone out of the broadcast booth instead.Having already interviewed for a few managerial openings at that point, Thomson figured he would never get another shot in the majors. So he stopped thinking about it and became the Phillies’ bench coach — first under Gabe Kapler, and then under Girardi.But when the Phillies fired Girardi last season, they turned to Thomson, who led them to the World Series. Philadelphia lost to the Astros, but the franchise rewarded Thomson with a two-year contract and removed his interim tag prior to the Fall Classic.“When I went to the Phillies, I sort of shut down the idea of managing,” Thomson said Monday, when he visited Yankee Sta...

Ban on mini bottles of booze returns to City Council for debate

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:40:39 GMT

A proposal to ban mini bottles of alcohol took a lurching step again in City Council chambers with both strong support from some public officials and opposition from local business owners.“I think that this is one of those issues where we get the ability to do some good,” said Councillor Ricardo Arroyo, the sponsor of the hearing, referencing the bottles’ connection to issues like alcoholism and littering. “I think that the public safety, public health, public good is worth whatever that trade-off is financially.”The discussion, introduced a couple of weeks prior, could lead to a ban of the sale of 50 ml and potentially 100 ml bottles of liquor — the more colloquial name for the bottles was nixed from the meeting due to its alternative meaning as a slur used against Japanese people — in the city if it were reviewed and approved through Boston’s Licensing Board. If it moves forward, the proposal will face several more hearings.Proponent...
