He stayed in the game.“His hamstring is a little cranky,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “On the play by the wall, he grabbed it. I don’t think he thought it was that bad. He said that he felt a tug, but he was kind of, you know, he’s hot, heated up in the moment. Then this morning he woke up and it was a little more sore than what we were hoping for.”Siri is hitting .318 with two homers and eight RBIs in six games this season. He also has played strong defense in the outfield.Bruján has 62 games of major league experience, including 52 with the Rays in 2022. Two of his four minor league games this season came ...

As streamers like HBO and Showtime cut costs, TV shows and residuals vanish

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:52:08 GMT

Actor Diana-Maria Riva is all too familiar with one of her shows being canceled. For a performer, it’s a painful, unfortunate part of show business. But this was different.In December, Riva was floored when she found out that “Gordita Chronicles,” her recently canceled family comedy, would be removed from HBO Max’s vast streaming library — one of dozens of shows that HBO last year effectively wiped from existence for U.S. viewers. Among others: “Westworld,” “The Time Traveler’s Wife,” “Minx,” “Mrs. Fletcher” and numerous animated and reality series.For Riva, the developments were crushing. Over 10 episodes, the critically lauded series followed a plus-sized 12-year-old named Cucu as she and her Dominican family adapt to life in 1980s Miami.“It was as if somebody had broken up with you and then came back to remind you a couple of weeks later that we’ve broken up,” says Riva, who played Cucu’s mother. “It was already heartbreaking. But then it’s an ...

New bill would allow Massachusetts judges to order outpatient mental health treatment

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 06:52:08 GMT

When Ashoke and Vinita Rampuria’s son returned home after taking a year off from college, to complete his course work, he didn’t seem like himself.“He was unable to complete tasks. He was lying on the sofa,” said Ashoke Rampuria, a resident of Acton. “He took some jobs, but could not hold them.”In 2011, his son was diagnosed with what Rampuria described as a severe mental illness. He soon began cycling in and out of health care facilities, appearing to get his illness under control and then slipping back once released. In 2021, the couple said their son used a new medication and was able to hold a job for three months, but did not continue on the drug.All along, Rampuria said he and his wife lacked a crucial tool — the power of a judge to order their now 36-year-old son, currently at a psychiatric hospital in Lynn, into mandatory outpatient care.Massachusetts, along with Connecticut and Maryland, are the only states that don’t give courts that authority.“This is a revolving door.

Taiwan threat from China serious, House GOP chairman says

WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House Select Committee on China said Saturday the U.S. must take seriously the threat posed to Taiwan, as Beijing launched military drills around the island in the aftermath of the Taiwanese president’s meetings with American lawmakers.Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who attended the meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen in California last week, told The Associated Press that he plans to lead his committee in working to shore up the island government’s defenses, encouraging Congress to expedite military aid to Taiwan.“I think it all just points to what is obvious,” Gallagher told the AP, arguing that Chinese President Xi Jinping is intent on reunifying Taiwan with the mainland.“We need to be moving heaven and earth to enhance our deterrence and denial posture, so that Xi Jinping concludes that he just can’t do it,” Gallagher said.China conducted drills with warships and dozens of fighter jets around Taiwan on Saturday, the Tai...
