But out of the blue on Wednesday afternoon, the Red Sox and manager Alex Cora agreed on a three-year, $21.75 million extension that will keep him in Boston through the 2027 season.

Healing Arts Center is very happy to announce the return of a program designed to offer our treatments to low-income members of the Orcas community. Many of you may recall this popular program as S.O.S. (Spirit of Service) which successfully ran from 2014 – 2019. The Healing Arts Center has gone through monumental changes since then: surviving the pandemic, undertaking years of major capital improvements, and undergoing a huge shift in membership.

As we explore situations where we no longer need police and transition away from the failed drug war, we do well to remind ourselves what benefits remain having police around.

AMHERST — At the start of summer practice, Amherst football head coach Vinnie Guiel approached his quarterback, NeNe Fernandez, and told him what he needed out of him this fall for the Hurricanes to have the success they wanted.

The SPHERE (spectro-photometric exoplanet research) extreme-AO planet hunter saw first light at the VLT observatory on Mount Paranal in May 2014 after ten years of development. Great efforts were put into modelling its performance, particularly in terms of achievable contrast, and to budgeting instrumental features such as wave front errors and optical transmission to each of the instrument's three focal planes, the near infrared dual imaging camera IRDIS, the near infrared integral field spectrograph IFS and the visible polarimetric camera ZIMPOL. In this paper we aim at comparing predicted performance with measured performance. In addition to comparing on-sky contrast curves and calibrated transmission measurements, we also compare the PSD-based wave front error budget with in-situ wave front maps obtained thanks to a Zernike phase mask, ZELDA, implemented in the infrared coronagraph wheel. One of the most critical elements of the SPHERE system is its high-order deformable mirror, a prototype 40x40 actuator piezo stack design developed in parallel with the instrument itself. The development was a success, as witnessed by the instrument performance, in spite of some bad surprises discovered on the way. The devastating effects of operating without taking properly into account the loss of several actuators and the thermally and temporally induced variations in the DM shape will be analysed, and the actions taken to mitigate these defects through the introduction of specially designed Lyot stops and activation of one of the mirrors in the optical train will be described.

Christopher, I think you're suggesting that there is no zero to press/dial? My take on this was you just need to press button 1 to get through 101.

In our constant focus on Black males with guns shooting other Black males, what gets under the glove and too unnoticed is the most deadly disaster in the county: drug overdose deaths.

Parents, grandparents, family all help to defray the cost of approximately $200 for cleats, uniform and etc. for football players at Easthampton High. Additionally, players are ask to sell 15 gift cards at $10 each to raise $150.

The Doctors surgeries are already inundated, and can hardly cope with more patients, it is difficult enough to get an appointment as it is, and to be able to discuss your symptoms with a Doctor in a reasonable time frame, we have been with our surgery for 30 years and have noted with dismay, the increase in the number of patients, it has to stop at some point, and the housing explosion won’t help!

"During public events (which are good for police to do), police need to soften the look and stand down a bit where the goal is to meet the public, not
