BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles manager Brandon Hyde can now fill out a lineup with all sorts of different combinations.Lately, everything’s been working for Baltimore.“We just have a lot of options,” Hyde said. “When you have five guys on the bench and you have multiple switch-hitters and you have right-left situations, I have way more options than I’ve ever had before.”Gunnar Henderson homered to start a two-run seventh inning for Baltimore, and the Orioles rallied from an early four-run deficit to win their seventh straight game, 6-5 over the Miami Marlins on Saturday night.Anthony Santander put Baltimore ahead with an RBI single later in the seventh, and the Orioles are only two games behind Tampa Bay atop the AL East, even through the Rays swept a doubleheader at Kansas City.Baltimore has matched a season high with its winning streak, which is the longest active run in the major leagues.The Orioles are carrying only 12 pitchers at the moment, meaning there are five hitters...Reddy: Massachusetts can protect new mothers as maternity care shrinks
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:23:18 GMT
It’s common in an OB/GYN clinic to have a patient hand me a stack of printouts from her last doctor, a thick ream mostly littered with extraneous lab results and automated text. But to have a patient do so when she shows up in labor, breathing through contractions, is far more unusual, especially when their previous hospital is less than 30 miles away.But this past spring it became a routine occurrence at my Boston hospital; after a fire closed down Brockton Hospital in February, patients would arrive without warning or transfer, ready to have their babies at a place they didn’t recognize, with physicians and nurses unaware of their medical histories. That a patient had to travel 30 miles to find an available birthing hospital seemed strange to colleagues so used to having the nation’s best hospitals clustered within a couple miles, or just across the street. But for many New Englanders, the lack of accessible maternity care is a reality that stands to get worse.Despite the regio...Musician/photographer Andy Summers adds photos to new tour

Andy Summers spent the decade before joining the Police becoming one of the world’s greatest guitarists. In the years leading up to his colossal, world-conquering trio with Sting and Stewart Copeland, Summers logged time in blues bands and psychedelic outfits, and even earned a degree in classical guitar.By the time the Police went global, Summers was a musical heavyweight with long stretches of time that needed to be filled with something other than playing hit records.“I’m in the Police and we’re on the road all the time,” Summers told Herald. “We’re surrounded by photographers and it came to me, ‘I should do photography. I should become a very good photographer.”And so Summers became a very good photographer.He may be the rare example of somebody who could actually quit their day job, but instead of deciding between the camera and guitar, he recently combined the two. His current tour, The Cracked Lens + A Missing String, which stops at Beverly’s Cabot Theater on July 21, has him...Fill your summer with music at Boston museums

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:23:18 GMT
How your child reacts to your pet’s death will depend on their age and developmental level. When children display emotions like sadness, it’s important to validate them.During my own childhood, I remember when a pet died, my well-meaning mother told me I shouldn’t dwell on being sad. It’s natural to want to protect your child from unpleasant emotions. But letting children experience them helps them build coping skills for the future.Here’s what you can do to help your child deal with the loss of a pet.Explain your own sadness.If your emotion isn’t obvious, this may confuse your child. It’s OK to let them see you cry. Keep in mind, though, that not all children — whatever their age — express their grief through sadness. Anger is also a common way to express grief. Understanding this is important so you can help them learn to work through it.Remember, grief-related emotions can come and go, sometimes without warning. It may take longer than yo...Yankees Notebook: Aaron Boone sees Giancarlo Stanton ‘getting there’ at the plate
Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 00:23:18 GMT
DENVER — It’s taken some time, but Giancarlo Stanton is starting to look like the hitter he and the Yankees expect him to be.While the team’s offense is struggling mightily, Stanton crushed a two-run home run in the first inning of Friday’s loss to the Rockies. In doing so, the slugger gave the Yankees their only runs of the game.Entering Saturday’s game, Stanton had 11 RBI and 11 hits in his last 11 games. He also totaled seven runs scored, three doubles and four homers over that span while registering a .290/.386/.684 slash line and just seven strikeouts. The 33-year-old also torched an opposite-field three-run homer in Saturday’s matchup.“He’s getting there,” Aaron Boone said Saturday afternoon. “It’s timing. It’s rhythm. It’s that subtle load that he has within his legs and his hands. So he’s getting into that good position to make a good swing decision.”Stanton has appeared far more comfor...Older workers to fill 150M more jobs around world by 2030

NEW YORK — A global study from Bain & Company has found that 150 million jobs will shift to workers over the age of 55 by 2030. That figure is nearly equal to the entire working population of the US. In the Group of Seven (G7) countries, Bain predicts these experienced workers will comprise a quarter of the workforce by the end of the decade — nearly 10 percentage points higher than in 2011.This trend is most pronounced in high-income countries. In Japan, for example, workers 55 and older will approach 40% of the workforce by the end of the decade. In Italy and Germany, the number is around 30%. This shift is playing out in low- and middle-income countries as well. China’s population of individuals 65 and older is set to double by 2050, and Brazil’s proportion of workers over age 55 is creeping up to the midteens.Over the last two decades, fewer young people are entering the workforce, and a long-term trend toward earlier retirement is slowly going into reverse...Latest news
