MBTA investigating after two more close calls between Red Line trains, workers

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

Two near misses between MBTA trains and workers along the tracks are coming to light, after the federal transit officials blasted the MBTA last week for a number of near misses over the past month and a half.The latest incident on Monday morning involved a Red Line train and a two-person crew inspecting the tracks between the Harvard and Porter Stations. The MBTA said “a flagger signaled for an approaching train to stop and it did not.” The MBTA said no one was hurt, and while the agency investigates, the train’s driver is out of service.During the investigation, one of the two track inspectors said a similar near miss happened a week earlier in the same area of the Red Line. The MBTA said this near miss, which was previously unreported, happened a week earlier on Sept. 11 and is now under investigation.The Federal Transit Administration criticized the MBTA over four near miss events since the beginning of August. “Based on these incidents, FTA has determined that a ...

Ticker: Mass picked for microelectronics hub; MGM back to normal after cyberattack

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

The U.S. Department of Defense on Wednesday chose Massachusetts to lead a regional microelectronics hub, positioning the state for growth in a burgeoning industry that the Healey administration hopes will reach a level of significance akin to the state’s life science industry.The federal government awarded $19.7 million to the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) — made up of more than 85 organizations across seven states and led by quasi-public agency MassTech — to go toward “a regional hub that will advance the microelectronics needs of the U.S. Department of Defense while spurring new jobs, workforce training opportunities and investment in the region’s advanced manufacturing and technology centers,” according to MassTech.The coalition submitted the proposal in March to the DoD’s Microelectronics Commons program, which uses funds from the recently passed CHIPS and Science Act to invigorate the country’s domestic semiconductor...

Fed holds the line on rates 

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

WASHINGTON  — The Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged for the second time in its past three meetings, a sign that it’s moderating its fight against inflation as price pressures have eased.But central bank officials also signaled that they expect to raise rates once more this year.Consumer inflation has dropped from a year-over-year peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.7%. Yet it’s still well above the Fed’s 2% target, and its policymakers made clear Wednesday that they aren’t close to declaring victory over the worst bout of inflation in 40 years.“The process of getting inflation sustainably down to 2% has a long way to go,” Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference. “We’ve seen progress, and we welcome that, but we need to see more progress” before concluding that it’s appropriate to end the rate hikes.The Fed’s latest decision left its benchmark rate at about 5.4%, the result of 11 rate hikes it unlea...

Brayan Bello allows career-worst eight runs as Red Sox blown out by Rangers 15-5

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

It started off as well as the Red Sox could have hoped. The offense crushed two home runs in the first two innings to take an early 4-0 lead, and with Brayan Bello on the mound it seemed like the club was sitting pretty.Then the Rangers got rolling, and Bello couldn’t do anything to stop them.The second-year right-hander endured the worst outing of his career Wednesday, allowing eight runs over three innings in Boston’s 15-5 loss to Texas. Bello first melted down in the second, allowing six runs before recording an out in the inning, and after eventually working out of that frame, allowed two more runs in the third, the last on a bases-loaded walk.All told, Bello allowed more runs in his outing than any Red Sox starter this season, and the most since Nathan Eovaldi allowed nine in last summer’s 28-5 debacle against the Toronto Blue Jays.“Not a good one,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “They put some good swings on pitches in the zone, the command...

Fed keeps rates unchanged and signals optimism about a potential ‘soft landing’

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve left its benchmark interest rate unchanged Wednesday for the second time in its past three meetings, a sign that it’s moderating its fight against inflation as price pressures have eased. The Fed’s policymakers also signaled that they expect to raise rates once more this year and envision their key rate staying higher in 2024 than most analysts had expected.But as their latest policy meeting ended Wednesday, the 19 members of the Fed’s rate-setting committee conveyed growing optimism that they will manage to slow inflation to their 2% target without causing the deep recession that many economists had feared earlier this year. It’s a hopeful scenario that economists call a “soft landing.”In a set of new quarterly projections, the policymakers showed that they expect faster economic growth and lower unemployment this year and next year than they had foreseen just three months ago. Even with solid economic growth in sight, they al...

Republican former congressman endorses Democratic nominee in Mississippi governor’s race

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The last Republican who lost a general election for Mississippi governor is endorsing the Democratic nominee in this year’s race.Democrat Brandon Presley’s campaign released a statement Wednesday from former U.S. Rep. Mike Parker, who said he is choosing Presley over first-term Republican Gov. Tate Reeves.“It’s a big deal for me as a former Republican member of Congress and as a former Republican nominee for governor to vote for a Democrat,” Parker said. “But I’m supporting Brandon Presley because he’s a good man, he’s a conservative, he’s pro-life, and he’s exactly what Mississippi needs at this point in time. Tate Reeves has failed Mississippi. Brandon will not.”Presley has been trying to appeal to voters across party lines.“I want to win this election with a bipartisan, biracial coalition — for Black Mississippians and white Mississippians, Republicans, Democrats, independents,” Presley said during an appearance last week in Summit.Parker was ele...

Trump launches his fall push in Iowa to lock in his lead before the first Republican caucuses

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

MAQUOKETA, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump began a fall press Wednesday to lock in thousands of Republican caucusgoers in early-voting Iowa, where the former president faces sky-high expectations in his campaign for a White House comeback.Having campaigned far less often in Iowa than many of his 2024 rivals, Trump was making his first of five Iowa visits planned through the end of October. The visits are aimed at converting what polls in Iowa show as a commanding lead into committed supporters and volunteers as Trump’s campaign tries to secure a massive victory that would deny his rivals momentum and effectively end the primary on caucus day.“In less than four months from now, we’re going to win the Iowa caucuses in a historic landslide,” Trump predicted as he addressed a crowd of more than 1,000 people in small-town Maquoketa and urged them to bring friends to the Jan. 15 caucuses.On display was his team’s promised commitment to better organize in Iowa than it did ...

Saudi crown prince says in rare interview ‘every day we get closer’ to normalization with Israel

Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:34:38 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says in an interview with Fox News airing Wednesday that ongoing negotiations over Israel means the prospects of normalized relations between both countries “get closer” every day but that treatment of Palestinians remains a “very important” issue to be resolved. Saudi Arabia is discussing a major agreement with the United States in which it would normalize relations with Israel in exchange for a U.S. defense pact and aid in developing its own civilian nuclear program. The Saudis have said any deal would require major progress toward the creation of a Palestinian state, which is a hard sell for the most religious and nationalist government in Israel’s history.Widely known as MBS, Saudi Arabia’s de facto leader was asked during an interview on “Special Report with Bret Baier” what it would take to normalize relations with Israel and answered that the Biden administration supports that happening.“For us, the Palestinian is...
