His attorney argued the then-deputy for the Broward Sheriff’s Office didn’t enter the building where the carnage unfolded because he couldn’t tell where the shots were coming from.https://www.youtube.com/live/3eRQCffIpJk?feature=sharePeterson has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts, including seven felony counts of child neglect and three misdemeanor co...

FORT PIERCE, FLA. (WSVN) – Vanilla, a 28-year-old chimpanzee, has embarked on a remarkable journey of discovery after spending her entire life in captivity. Recently integrated into a large chimpanzee family at Save the Chimps sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Vanilla and her companion Shake now have the opportunity to explore a sprawling 3-acre island that has become their new home.The transition to freedom was not without its challenges. As Shake confidently ventured onto the island, Vanilla hesitated at the doorway, her apprehension evident. However, with the encouragement of Dwight, the alpha male of the family, Vanilla took a leap of faith and joined him, an emotional moment captured on camera.Vanilla’s earlier years were marked by confinement in a New York-based biomedical research lab, where she was housed in a small cage, suspended from the ground like a birdcage. In 1995, she was one of thirty chimpanzees relocated to the Wildlife Waystation, where she became part of a ...

Where’s the game? Shifting TV and streaming models frustrate Orioles fans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:51:41 GMT

Steve Weiner’s Orioles-watching routine was as predictable as the seventh-inning stretch. Or so he thought.In this most promising of seasons, the Pikesville retiree takes comfort in the summerlong habit of settling in to watch games on a known network with broadcasters as familiar as old friends. But this season, with a half-dozen Orioles games having shifted from the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network to streaming networks — and the traditional cable TV sports model in transition — Weiner and many other fans feel like the diamond is shifting under their feet.On a typical evening, Weiner will sit with his wife on their reclining love seat, turn on MASN and watch the games on their flat-screen TV. Except that on a recent Friday, Weiner learned the Orioles-Kansas City Royals contest was available only on the Apple TV+ streaming channel, while MASN showed kickboxing and other “fight sports.”In a fighting mood himself, Weiner, 71, dashed off a complaint to the Ori...
