Odell Beckham Jr. said he didn’t get any assurances that Lamar Jackson would be the Ravens’ quarterback this season, but the wide receiver acknowledged the “possibility” of teaming up factored into his decision to sign with Baltimore.“The goal was to come here and have the possibility of playing with him,” Beckham said at his introductory news conference Thursday at the Ravens’ facility. “I was just excited about the possibility of that. My thoughts would be that he would be here.”General manager Eric DeCosta said that he hasn’t spoken with Jackson since Beckham signed with the Ravens earlier this week, but that he has talked with the star quarterback since Jackson revealed three weeks ago that he requested on March 2 to be traded. DeCosta added that he’s optimistic the 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player will be the Ravens’ quarterback this season.“Lamar is in our plans,” DeCosta said Thursday. “We&...

Hot Property: Have the whole thing in Woods Hole

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:30:58 GMT

There’s a glittering contemporary home perched on nearly two acres at 77 Fay Road in Woods Hole that stands apart from the traditional coastal architecture — in the most spectacular way.Built in 2000, the seaside retreat sits right on Vineyard Sound and calls on elements of mid-century modern architecture — sloped ceilings, clerestory windows, walls of glass, and warm wood paneling.Clean lines, design simplicity, and Shoji-like accents recall a Japanese sensibility. The result is a home that feels peaceful and serves as a natural extension of its surroundings. And yes, there are water views for days, plus a private beach and jetty for the ultimate summer headquarters.A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, modern corner fireplace, and tall ceilings make for a dramatic great room. Opening to both the elegant and functional kitchen space and a window-wrapped sunroom, this corner of the sprawling 6,780 square-foot home is naturally stylish and unfussy, just what you’d want in a beach house...

Stocks gain ground on Wall Street as inflation slows further

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:30:58 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is gaining ground Thursday following the latest sign that inflation continues to cool.The S&P 500 was 1.3% higher in afternoon trading after a report showed inflation at the wholesale level slowed last month by more than expected. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 340 points, or 1%, at 33,986, as of 2:27 p.m. Eastern time, while the Nasdaq composite was 2% higher.Thursday’s report showed that prices paid to producers last month were 2.7% higher than a year earlier, the lowest inflation level there in more than two years. The hope on Wall Street is that easier inflation on the wholesale level will not only support profits for companies but also flow through to cooler inflation for consumers. A day earlier, a separate report said inflation for consumers slowed to 5%. Inflation and how high the Federal Reserve will hike interest rates to tame it have been at the center of Wall Street’s struggles for more than a year. The Fed has hiked rates at such...

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Four Native Americans who say they were abused by three Roman Catholic priests on their reservation in Maine are the latest to bring lawsuits since the state fully lifted the statute of limitations for child sex crimes.The Penobscot Nation members contend the abuse started when they were 7 to 16 years old at St. Ann Parish on Indian Island, just north of Bangor. The oldest abuse dates to 1972, while the most recent happened in 1987, according to the lawsuits.Michael Bigos, a lawyer representing the members, filed the lawsuits in Penobscot County Superior Court, despite potential legal roadblocks by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland. More than two dozen lawsuits brought by Bigos’ law firm are currently on hold while the diocese challenges the 2021 law that repealed the statute of limitations.“Let us find out what the diocese knew and when they knew it, so they can be held fully accountable, and we can keep our communities safe for survivors,” Bigos told repo...
