WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Someone apparently saw Carlos Alcaraz’s dad filming Novak Djokovic during practice at Wimbledon. So Alcaraz was asked if that did, indeed, happen — and he said he wouldn’t be surprised if it did.That’s because Alcaraz’s father is a big fan of tennis. Spends all day at the All England Club, even, watching plenty of players other than the No. 1-ranked 20-year-old known as “Carlitos.”Dad keeps an eye on matches. On practices, too. And so, sure, maybe he pulled out his phone and snapped some video of Djokovic, the son said.“To be able to watch Djokovic in real life, yeah, probably it is true he’d film the sessions,” Alcaraz said.The practice courts at Wimbledon are accessible to reporters and a limited number of fans, who often line up to watch the sport’s biggest names during their sessions and then record some footage as a keepsake.Players practice on adjacent courts that have no walls or barriers between them, so they can keep t...

The searches came just before his wife, Angela Craig, made repeated trips to hospitals in March complaining of symptoms including dizziness, vomiting and confusion that puzzled doctors, Arapahoe County coroner Kelly Lear said during a hearing to determine if Craig will stand trial for first-degree murder.Police believe Craig, 45, laced his wife’s pre-workout protein shakes with poison so he could pursue a relationship with another woman, according to court documents. He has yet to be asked to enter a plea to the charge.Lear determined through...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:34:46 GMT

The Boston Police Department announced Wednesday their participation in the 30 x 30 pledge – a national pledge to increase the number of women in police recruitment classes to 30% by 2030.The BPD is one of more than 325 departments across the country who have taken the pledge. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said this will help the police department represent the community it protects.“The fact that nationwide, women make up just 12% of active duty officers and just 3% of leadership of departments is not only an equity issue, it is a public safety issue as well,” Wu said at a press conference Wednesday. “When it comes to assuring our residents are and feel safe in our city, those who serve must reflect the people in the neighborhoods that we serve.”

Another Hot, Humid Day On The Way

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:34:46 GMT

Editor’s Note: Tonight’s weather blog was written by meteorological intern Tyler Hughes.Today proved to be a classic hot New England summer day, with mostly sunny skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 80s and low 90s in the region. A few lingering spot showers are sticking around, but these will die off as the evening goes on. Although not all of us saw a high temperature above the 90 degree mark, the weather station out at Logan Airport reached 90 for the first time this year, climbing to a high of 91 this afternoon. As I mentioned briefly in the blog yesterday, the average first 90 degree day in Boston rolls around at the beginning of June. As a matter of fact, July 12 is the fifth latest first 90 degree day recorded at Logan Airport. The most recent later date in memory was the summer of 2015.Tomorrow is, for the most part, a rinse-and-repeat day, but we’ll turn the temperature down a few degrees and turn up the humidity. Although dew points will only r...

If state wildlife officials had the final say, Southie residents could now be cooling off at the L Street Beach behind the renovated Curley Center.But even with MassWildlife determining last week that beach access would not harm the threatened piping plovers, the city still has to complete its own review.“They don’t need any extra permissions because we have already issued our determination,” a MassWildlife spokesperson told the Herald on Wednesday. “As long as they follow their beach management plan, there is no other review on our end.”City officials say the Conservation Commission is scheduled to vote July 19 on the beach management plan, which outlines conditions the city needs to take for access not to have an adverse effect on the piping plover.One condition features “a qualified shorebird monitor” regularly monitoring the presence of the piping plover from April 1 through Aug. 31, with the areas of habitat delineated with fencing and warning signs by April 1, according to the...

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unconstitutional, legal group tells high court

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:34:46 GMT

Bay State Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s brainchild is coming under attack.A Massachusetts-based civil rights organization has filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is unconstitutional as established, too powerful, and must be reined in under congressional control.According to an amicus friend-of-court brief filed by the New England Legal Foundation with the high court, the fact that the agency wields such “extraordinary” power without needing to go through Congress for funding is plainly at odds with the law.“If there is an agency with such extraordinary power, they should be subjected to a higher level of judicial review, and where Congress has less of a role the judicial branch should have more of a role,” Dan Winslow, NELF president, told the Herald. “This agency has an extraordinary concentration of power without the usual congressional checks and balances.”The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is Warren’s ...
