Dan and Pat review late-season Massachusetts high school baseball, projecting likely tournament tiers from MIAA power rankings. They discuss BC High as the clear Division 1 frontrunner, with teams like St. John's Shrewsbury, Taunton, Franklin, Natick and others chasing; Natick's 14-3 season, senior depth, and pitching highlights are noted. A major focus is Bishop Feehan's Brody Bumilia, whose starts draw huge crowds and 15–25 radar guns; Pat describes his elite velocity, pitch mix, mass scout exit after he was pulled, and his first earned runs of the season after previously allowing only two unearned. They cover Braintree's late skid, Division 2 contenders like St. Mary's and Walpole and debate the returning Super 8 format and margin-of-victory impact, with Hamilton-Wenham's 18-0 profile cited. They also preview Player of the Year finalist candidates and end with a minor-league team name trivia game.

This is the 2nd episode of a 2-part series about a case where security goons from eBay travelled across the country to stalk and harass a husband-wife journalist duo. If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, you probably should. We published it on May 19, 2026. For over two decades, the pair have been publishing EcommerceBytes, a respected trade publication for eBay sellers. But in 2019, someone started harassing them. It began with a spray painted fence, then quickly escalated to death threats and fetal pigs and a mysterious van outside their house. Eventually, they discovered that eBay's own security team was behind it all, with the campaign put into motion by then-CEO Devin Wenig. This bizarre and frightening story is a cautionary tale about the rise of private armies. It starts in San Francisco, takes us to the small community of Natick, Massachusetts, and ultimately takes TANGOTI listeners right back to Madison Square Garden. Buckle up. Let us know what you think by emailing hello@tangoti.com or leaving a comment on Spotify. Bridget's forthcoming audiobook with Simon & Schuster, Love At First Prompt, explores AI, sex, and intimate relationships.

Installer des serveurs en pleine mer pour faire fonctionner des modèles d'intelligence artificielle… l'idée semble sortie d'un roman de science-fiction. Pourtant, la startup américaine Panthalassa veut en faire une réalité. Basée à Portland, elle vient de lever 140 millions de dollars pour accélérer son projet, avec le soutien d'investisseurs comme Peter Thiel ou encore John Doerr.Le concept est radical : déployer en mer des plateformes flottantes autonomes, capables de produire leur propre énergie et d'héberger des serveurs dédiés à l'IA. Ces structures, d'environ 85 mètres de long, exploitent l'énergie des vagues pour générer de l'électricité. Cette énergie alimente directement des puces informatiques à bord, tandis que les résultats sont transmis à terre via satellite.L'intérêt est double. D'abord, contourner les limites des centres de données terrestres, qui nécessitent des infrastructures électriques massives. Ensuite, résoudre un problème crucial : le refroidissement. Les serveurs chauffent énormément, et leur refroidissement consomme jusqu'à 40 % de leur énergie. Ici, l'eau de mer joue ce rôle naturellement. Panthalassa affirme avoir testé plusieurs prototypes entre 2021 et 2024. Une nouvelle génération de plateformes doit être déployée dans le Pacifique dès 2026, avec une commercialisation envisagée en 2027.Ce n'est pas la première tentative. Microsoft avait déjà expérimenté l'immersion de serveurs sous-marins avec son projet Natick, constatant un taux de panne bien plus faible que sur terre. D'autres initiatives émergent en Chine ou au Japon, avec des centres de données sous-marins ou installés sur des navires. Mais Panthalassa se distingue par son approche : des structures totalement autonomes, sans câble ni ancrage, capables de se déplacer vers les zones les plus favorables en énergie.Reste que les défis sont nombreux. La corrosion due au sel, la fiabilité des connexions satellites en cas de mauvais temps, ou encore la maintenance sans intervention humaine pendant de longues périodes posent question. Dans un contexte où la demande en puissance informatique explose, notamment avec l'IA, ces solutions alternatives ne relèvent plus de l'expérimentation isolée. Elles pourraient bien devenir une pièce clé du futur numérique… à condition de prouver leur robustesse sur la durée. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The Day Rhode Island GaspedColumbus Day 1910, the Fabre Line, and the Italian immigrants who transformed Natick and Pontiac.If you had stood along the main road through the villages of Natick and Pontiac in the early 1900s, you would have heard a medley of accents and languages. The British, the Irish, the Swedes, and the French-Canadians had all come before, each group finding its place in the textile mills that lined the Pawtuxet River. But by the dawn of the twentieth century, it was the Italians who were arriving in ever-growing numbers, and they were the latecomers. As many historians have pointed out, their experience followed a familiar pattern: they took the lowest-paying jobs, lived in the poorest housing, and clung fiercely to their ethnic identity. In the crowded mill villages of Rhode Island, this was simply what happened to each new wave of strangers. Of course, Italians were no strangers to the New World. Long before the mills of Natick ever hummed with machinery, Italian mariners had charted the very course to the Americas. Think of Christopher Columbus, Amerigo Vespucci, John and Sebastian Cabot—whose family name was really Caboto—and Giovanni da Verrazzano. Their ships had opened the Atlantic like a book. Even in the earliest colonial days, Italian families had found their way to what would become the United States. The Tagliaferro family, for instance, settled in Jamestown, Virginia, within just a year of Roger Williams founding Rhode Island. And when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, one of the men who put his name to it was William Paca, a Maryland delegate of Italian heritage. Later, during the Civil War, three Italian Americans rose to the rank of general on the Union side. So the Italian presence in America was nothing new. But the great tide of immigration that would reshape places like Natick and Pontiac was still to come. That tide began to swell in the 1860s, when the demand for labor to build the Transcontinental Railroad drew thousands of workers from southern Italy, Ireland, and China. One of those men was Carmine DiFranco. He came to help lay track, lived for a time in California, and eventually settled in Natick, where he opened a small grocery store that catered to Italian tastes and needs—a quiet sign that a community was taking root.Yet the major impact of Italian immigration in New England was not truly felt until the early twentieth century. Southern Europe's economy had soured, while Rhode Island's textile mills were desperate for cheap, willing hands. The pull was irresistible. Once the influx began, Italians arrived in numbers no one had quite anticipated. Charles Carroll, in his book Rhode Island: Three Centuries of Democracy, captures the moment of awakening perfectly. He writes that Rhode Island scarcely realized the volume of Italian immigration until the first observance of Columbus Day as a public holiday in 1910. What had been expected to be just another parade—in a city already known as "the paradingest city"—turned into something far larger. For hours, Carroll says, Italian divisions poured through the city streets in rapid succession. And then he delivers the unforgettable image: the whole state gasped at the discovery, rubbed its eyes to test the reality of what seemed plausible only as a dream. In a single day, Rhode Island became aware of its Italian population.But consciousness, unfortunately, soon curdled into fear. The migration continued at an unrelenting pace until 1921, when prejudice in Washington finally found its voice. Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act in 1921, followed by the National Origins Quota Act in 1924. These laws were aimed squarely at Italians, Jews, and Slavs, and they succeeded in slowing the flow from southern Europe. Even so, between 1898 and 1932, nearly fifty-five thousand Italians arrived at the Port of Providence alone. Read the Full Content

After initial feedback, the team spent the summer refining their concept and officially launched in August 2023. ServeNatick's primary goal is to connect volunteers with organizations that need them, fostering community engagement across various sectors including environmental projects, literacy programs, and health initiatives. The conversation then shifts to discuss the upcoming Natick Impact Collaborative (NIC) event, scheduled for Wednesday, April 2nd, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at Natick High School auditorium. This inaugural event aims to inspire attendees to take action in their communities, featuring four speakers from diverse backgrounds in community engagement. The event will also include a panel discussion with five panelists and an audience Q&A session, designed to explore various community-based topics and ways for people to get involved in community service beyond traditional methods.

Hello to you listening in Natick, Massachusetts!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Recently I came across a question in a report about the thousands of federal workers who are being unlawfully and indiscriminately fired by an unelected businessman who seems to be running our government with his doggy team of similarly unelected high school graduates:Question: "Who's going to be brave enough to speak truth to power if speaking truth to power means you get fired the next day?"What if speaking truth to power means you not only risk getting fired, but harassed, spit on, ostracized, attacked, arrested, or even killed? What about your family being harmed? What about your loved ones?Am I brave enough to speak truth to power? Don't know.What I do know is just making phone calls, signing petitions, and writing emails is not going to get us what we want: FREE AMERICA from the hostile takeover of our government. I stand as one Ordinary Person inviting other Ordinary Persons to draw together - like filings to a magnet - building an Army of Ordinary Persons to FREE AMERICA. Be well, do good work, and keep in touch. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

Congregationalists--clergy and congregations—were the driving force in New England's Revolution. Interpreting liberty through their own religious framework, which included principles of autonomy, fellowship, and consensus, Congregationalists had much to say about liberty in church records, letters, and sermon literature. Kyle Roberts, Executive Director of the Congregational Library and Archives, and Tricia Peone, Project Director for New England Hiddien Histories, join us to talk about their new on-line exhibit Religion of Liberty, and what we can learn from the Congregational Library about the beginnings of the American Revolution.https://www.congregationallibrary.org/https://www.congregationallibrary.org/events/open-house-2024Tell us what you think!

On the morning of January 5, 1994, 27-year-old David Cox, a former Marine whose story inspired the movie A Few Good Men, was at home, anxiously awaiting news about a potential full-time job. But when his girlfriend, Elaine, returned home that evening, David was nowhere to be found. His truck was parked outside, with the keys in the ignition and an uncashed paycheck sitting on the dashboard. Despite these strange circumstances, police initially believed David had run off. However, nearly three months later, his body was discovered along a Medfield, Massachusetts riverbank five miles from his apartment. He had been shot four times. Despite a thorough investigation, no motive or suspects have been identified, leaving David's family desperate for answers. It's been over 30 years since David's murder, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible... On the morning of January 5, 1994, David Cox went missing from his apartment in Natick, Massachusetts. Almost three months later, on April 2, his body was discovered along the Charles River in Medfield, about five miles from his home.

Send a message to the showA few things to remember: John O'Keefe is dead. His family hasn't been able to properly mourn (nor has Karen Read) and this is a horrible place for a family to be.There are kids involved. John O'Keefe was the guardian and main caregiver to his niece and nephew that in no way asked for or deserved to be at the center of this nightmare. There is a lot of scrutiny surrounding the John O'Keefe murder trial.Karen Read is not a stupid woman. She's a member of the faculty at Bentley, in their Finance Dept for the last 16 years. She works (or worked) for Fidelity Investments in Equity Research and was a Financial Analyst. There has been so much pre-trial publicity that it may be impossible for her to be looked at fairly. This case is simply bananas. The more I learn about it, the more questions I have, beginning with What the hell happened at 34 Fairview in Canton in the early hours of January 29, 2022?We know eastern Massachusetts was in the grips of a major snowstorm. Turns out, it was a blizzard. Boston got 23.5 inches of snow that Saturday at Logan Airport, making January 29, 2022 the second largest January storm every recorded in the city. The seventh biggest snowstorm of all time in Boston's recorded history.The temperature dropped to 21 degrees. This had to have hampered the investigation. There were the red solo cups, the grocery bag, that leaf blower - very Tarantino. I watched some of the testimony this week and I checked in with Dubs, the True Crime Bloodhound, to help me out with this week's big happenings. --- Justice for Beth Brodie | Event linkHer killer is seeking parole, hearing is Thurs May 16 at the Massachusetts Parole Offices in Natick.

Contact the showEpisode 63 is a walk through the frenzy that is called "The Canton Cover-up" by some, others see it as a national spectacle. Canton, the small town 15 miles south of the city of Boston, is no stranger to tragedy. Three and a half decades ago, sweet, trusting 14-year-old Shawn Ouillette was lured into the woods, beaten, and left for dead. His 14-year-old schoolmate and eventual killer said no one would miss him. He wanted to know what it was like. To kill. That was 1986. Shawn is still missed by all who love him. His killer, Rod Matthews, remains in prison. Fast forward to present day. The events surrounding John O'Keefe's death have split this same small town in two. The case of a 46-year-old surrogate father to his sister's orphaned kids and 16-year veteran of the Boston Police Department is a shit show to no fault of his own. Lost, as is always the case, is the victim themselves. John O'Keefe was so beloved that a GoFundMe fundraising page set up for his niece and nephew after he died, had raised more than $245,000 within its first 24 hours. Karen Read, 44, who was John O'Keefe's longtime girlfriend, was arrested within days of his death and charged with drunkenly backing into him in her SUV in a snowstorm and leaving him to bleed out and freeze to death. Read has amassed a group of supporters in what some locals refer to as a "frame job" against her by a bunch of dirty townie cops, staties, FBI agents, and DAs. The cases I refer to in this episode include: Jeffrey Curley, Cambridge, Mass, he was 10 when he was taken by a neighbor with the promise of a bike, abused and killed in 1997, his murderers were put away by then-prosecutor, David Yannetti, who is now defending Read.Beth Brodie, Groveland, Mass, 1992, she was 15 when a boy who demanded her affection planned an attack with a bat and killed her in a neighbor's bedroom. Visit JusticeforBethBrodie.com - her killer is up for parole, the hearing is Thurs, May 16 in Natick. Write the parole board and tell them No Parole for Richard Baldwin, W56202 Molly Bish, Warren, Mass, 2000 - she was 16 when she disappeared from her lifeguard job at Comins Pond. Her remains were found 3 years later in nearby Palmer. The Bishes began Missing Children's Day to honor Molly and other missing kids. We meet on Fri, May 17 at Massachusetts State House in Boston.

Kerri from Natick joined us in the Good Vibe Tribe to tell us some amazng news!
Eric Bashor, CS, from Natick, Massachusetts, USAHear more of Eric's story on this week's episode of Sentinel Watch.
Chad just wanted to see a movie. He sat next to his wife, Nicole, as the previews rolled. When Chad pulled out his cell phone to check on his toddler, another moviegoer angrily told him to put his phone away. What happened next is the subject of some debate. One thing is for sure: Chad threw popcorn at the man who scolded him, and in response, that man – Curtis Reeves Jr – shot Chad in the chest. Then Kristin tells us about a couple in Natick, Massachusetts, who found themselves the victims of intense harassment and stalking. Ina and David Steiner weren't entirely sure who sent them cockroaches in the mail, or who tailed them when they left the house. But they knew that their harassers were angry with Ina's reporting on the couple's website, EcommerceBytes. They never would have guessed just how powerful their attackers were. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: Segment of 60 Minutes, titled “Silicon Valley Scandal” “‘Take her down': Inside eBay's stalking campaign against a Natick couple,” by Mike Damiano for Boston Magazine “Inside eBay's cockroach cult: The ghastly story of a stalking scandal,” by David Streitfeld for The New York Times “Couple harassed by former eBay employees sues company and former executives,” CBS News “Couple still haunted by eBay stalking scandal years after campaign of terror,” CBS News “Ex-eBay employees charged with mailing spiders, cockroaches and pig mask to critics,” by Irina Ivanova for CBS News In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Widow of man shot in theater pushes beyond anger to make love his legacy” by Anastasia Dawson, Tampa Bay Times “The Movie Theater Shooting (Curtis Reeves Trial), podcast episode, Court Junkie “A Movie Date, a Text Message and a Fatal Shot” by Frances Robles, The New York Times “He shot a man over tossed popcorn, prosecutors say. His defense: Stand-your-ground.” by Hanna Knowles, The Washington Post “Trial of Curtis Reeves underway 8 years after deadly shooting inside Florida movie theater” by FOX13 News Staff, Fox13 News “Widow describes moment her husband was shot in movie theater after argument over texting: "I see his eyes are just glazed over”” CBS News “After 8 years, a retired Florida police captain is standing trial for killing a man in an argument about texting in a movie theater” by Dakin Andone, CNN “Curtis Reeves trial: Moviegoers recall what they saw in theater shooting” by Anastasia Dawson and Chris Tisch, Tampa Bay Times “After acquittal, Curtis Reeves renews freedom; Chad Oulson's widow grieves anew” by Dan Sullivan and Michaels Mulligan, Tampa Bay Times YOU'RE STILL READING?
