By LOLITA C. BALDOR and TARA COPP (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has decided to keep U.S. Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a last-ditch decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama. The choice ended months of thorny deliberations, but an Alabama lawmaker vowed to fight on.U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Monday that Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, Gen. James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardize military readiness. Dickinson’s view, however, was in contrast to Air Force leadership, who studied the issue at length and determined that relocating to Huntsville, Alabama, was the right move.The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details of Biden’s rationale for the decision.In announcing the plans, Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, said the decision was based on an “objective and deliberate process informed by dat...

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:20:47 GMT

Gas prices jumped a dime in Massachusetts during the past week, driven higher by increases in the price of oil, experts say.The average price at the pump hit $3.67 in the latest survey, according to AAA, a full ten cents higher than a week ago and 12 cents higher than a month ago,“Gas demand, meaning people fueling up, remains tepid. It’s lower now than at this time last year and in 2021,” said Mary Maguire, AAA Northeast’s Vice President of Public and Government Affairs. “But while the heat may be keeping some folks home, it also suppresses refinery production, according to experts. Constrained supplies and a higher cost of oil are tipping the balance toward rising pump prices for now.”Gas prices in Massachusetts remain lower than the national average, which hit $3.75 in the most recent survey. The national average jumped 16 cents in the last week, according to AAA.Fuel prices are still lower than last year, however. The price at the pump on July 31, 2022 was $4.47, 90 cents higher...

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:20:47 GMT

FOXBORO — Bill Belichick huddled the Patriots around him near the end of practice late Monday morning. He delivered a simple message.Be physical, but stay on your feet. Let’s get out of here without anyone getting hurt.The injury bug had already bitten the Pats throughout their first padded practice of the summer, temporarily taking out left guard Cole Strange, his backup, Chasen Hines, one tight end and a defensive back. The next few minutes of low red-zone plays followed by goal-line work would bring increased injury risk. The live goal-line period would also be a first at Patriots training camp in two years, another change against the backdrop of a lost 2022 season.Moments later, the ball was placed inside the 2-yard line.

First came newly converted fullback Jahlani Tavai, then Kevin Harris, a bowling ball of a runner at 5-foot-9...
