Un hombre guatemalteco está de luto después de que su padre murió tras ser atropellado cuando un auto chocó contra su edificio y entró a su apartamento en Laurel. Según las autoridades, Fredy Tenas Silva, de 56 años, estaba dormido en su cuarto cuando un vehículo impactó su pared. Cuando los oficiales llegaron para investigar la colisión, encontraron que el edificio en la cuadra 800 de Kay Court había colapsado, informó la policía de Laurel. Ahora, Edgar Tenas González dijo que el enorme hueco resultado del accidente mortal no se compara con el vacío que queda en su corazón. En un instante, la vida de su padre cariñoso y trabajador llegó a su fin.“Me siento todavía en shock por el trágico accidente que sufrió mi padre”, le dijo a Telemundo 44 al exterior de las oficinas del consulado de Guatemala en Rockville, Maryland. Todo el día estuvo ahí trabajando en el proceso para repatriar los restos de su padre a su país natal. Estuvo acompañado de su hermano, Juan, quien también se e...

Wyatt's Towing under investigation by state attorney general

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:57 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — After a Colorado state senator had her car towed, it raised questions about what rights people have when paying for a tow bill.This comes as the Colorado Attorney General's Office confirmed one of the largest tow companies in the state, Wyatt's Towing, is under investigation. Can you be towed without notice in Colorado? State Sen. Julie Gonzales said her car was towed by Wyatt's Towing last week. It turns out that was a mistake, and her car has since been returned to her and the fees refunded.Gonzales said she was parked legally at a business in the city when her car was towed.She said when she asked a Wyatt's employee if her tow bill could be paid in installments — a right guaranteed to Coloradans by a law she helped pass last year — they said "I would have to fill out some paperwork and that my paperwork would need to be approved by a Wyatt's manager.""Sure enough," Gonzales said, "it was about 40 minutes before they ultimately did release my vehicle."Gonzales wa...

Editorial: Councilor Fernandes Anderson learns first-hand Boston cops are vital

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:57 GMT

Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes-Anderson was mugged by reality over the weekend.What was taken: her phone, and any pretext for portraying Boston Police as anything less than vital to public safety.As the Herald reported, Fernandes Anderson was robbed during a Mass and Cass walkthrough early Saturday night.According to a redacted Boston Police report, an “unnamed victim” approached a police officer around 7:43 p.m., and reported that an unknown white man stole her phone. The victim was Tania Fernandes-Anderson.Why the redaction? As Fernandes Anderson posted on X Monday: “I asked that I remain anonymous on the police report. Somehow information always gets leaked. How is this keeping victims of worse crimes safe? Then the Media writes their version. Stop your propaganda. I have children for crying out loud. Front page for a stolen cell phone?”No, not for a stolen cell phone. Front page for a Boston City Councilor who proposed sweeping budget cuts to the B...

King: AI already beginning to take jobs – control is needed

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:57 GMT

The conventional wisdom — don’t you love it? — holds that artificial intelligence won’t cost jobs. But it will. The evidence is mounting.I say this after doing my best to divine the thinking of the AI community on jobs in my reporting. I have made three television programs on AI and conducted one press briefing, and I have talked to experts at four universities and four AI companies.All these savants directed me to look at what happened with automation. They pointed out that it was feared that automation — the industrializing of production — would cost jobs, but it had the opposite effect. It created new work since the first steam engine was deployed in England in 1712.Trade unions have fought every advancement in automation in every industrial sector when they have feared jobs would be lost. Jobs have been lost, but new avenues of employment have emerged.But AI is different and will likely subtract jobs without producing new ones.All the indicators are that jobs will disappear. So ...

Treat Her Right fans treated to a reunion, and then some

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:57 GMT

When the now-legendary Boston band Treat Her Right did its regular shows at the Plough & Stars in Cambridge or the Rat in Kenmore Square, there would inevitably be a few female admirers dancing upfront. When the band plays a one-off reunion at Sally O’Brien’s Thursday, the “Treat Her Right Dancers” will take their rightful place onstage.A local favorite in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, Treat Her Right opened punk-trained ears to the blues and R&B that they loved. Two of its members, guitarist Mark Sandman and drummer Billy Conway, went onto national success with Morphine. Both are now deceased, but cofounders David Champagne (vocals/guitar) and Jim Fitting (harmonica) have remained fixtures on the rock and roots scene. They’ll take a rare spin through the Treat Her Right catalogue, with the core band completed by drummer Jerome Deupree (Conway’s friend and a fellow Morphine alum) and Russ Gershon (the local jazz saxophonist, here taking a rare turn on bass guitar). And the “dance...

Dear Abby: DIL uses false charges to cut off grandma visits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:57 GMT

Dear Abby: I have had a wonderful relationship with my only grandson for nine years. Since I retired, he visits every other weekend, which makes me so happy. He has autism and didn’t speak for the first six years, but now he talks constantly. It’s wonderful. I’m very close to my son as well.I guess you know what’s coming: My daughter-in-law cut my grandchild out of my life four months ago. She says he was molested in my care by my husband. I took my husband of 13 years, who has never been alone with my grandson, ever, to the police station. He passed all lie detector tests, and the police said they believe my husband.My grandson didn’t say a word; only my DIL spoke. I had CPS come out and they did a thorough investigation. They said that, in their opinion, she was making this up. She hasn’t spoken to her family in 12 years. She cuts everyone off if they upset her.My grandson needs me. What can I do? My son says if I move and live next door to them...
