A judge has not yet reached a decision as to whether Derek Rosa, a 13-year-old boy accused of murdering his mother, will remain at an adult jail facility or will be transferred to a juvenile detention center pending his trial.

The other 33 inmates are between 16 and 17 years old.During the hearing on Friday, Rosa’s attorneys made their case to have the teenager moved to a juvenile-only facility.

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:55:31 GMT

With the recent uptick in shark encounters along the coast of Cape Cod, a new device could soon be used to keep swimmers safe. “Exclusion Barrier” is a network of black plastic pipes that are supposed to keep people and sharks separate. 7NEWS recently spoke with Dr. Craig O’Connell, a shark researcher with the O’Seas Conservation Foundation, who said any measure to minimize risk is one worth trying.“It is the sharks’ realm,” O’Connell said. “It is their environment and we do have to enter with caution.”O’Connell said a large, visual structure such as the Exclusion Barrier system “works very well on visual predators like the great white shark.” “As those sharks swim closer and closer to the barrier, the electromagnetic field gets stronger and stronger and it basically gives them a little bit of a shock and they swim away,” O’Connell said. The barriers were tested in Chatham this past summer. Tuna bait was even used to tempt the sharks. “We had to ...

Rick Kogan | Chicago Tribune (TNS)CHICAGO — Here, ladies and gentlemen, is Bob Newhart:“Somebody called me up and they said, ‘Look, Don Rickles is looking for a best friend … and none of us wanna do it. Would you?’“And I said, ‘How long?’“They said, ‘A year at the most.’”Bob Newhart and Don Rickles were friends for nearly 60 years and that unlikely pairing has been captured, the above joke included, in the latest film from Judd Apatow, the acclaimed director/producer of such hit movies as “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “The King of Staten Island,” and TV’s “Freaks and Geeks.”This movie, co-directed by Michael Bonfiglio, is titled “Bob and Don: A Love Story.” It is only 20 minutes long and playing not in theaters or on any streaming service.
