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

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:10:22 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...

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 14:10:22 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...
