The anatomy of the state police overtime scandal – Boston Herald

Based on internal audits begun in 2017, state police referred 46 current and former troopers out of the departments 2,122 sworn personnel to the Massachusetts Attorney Generals Office and the U.S. Attorneys Office in connection with the departments investigation into overtime abuse at the now-defunct Troop E, the unit previously assigned to the Mass Pike. Of those 46:

‘The Irishman’ | Anatomy of a Scene – The New York Times

Im Martin Scorsese. And I made the movie, The Irishman. It is an honor for me to be here tonight to present this award to my dear friend, Mr. Frank Sheeran. Were talking about a sequence that takes place in the Latin Casino. You have this wonderful reception for Frank Sheeran, who, really, its a highlight of his life. All the representatives of the power structure of that part of the country are there to celebrate him, supposedly. And it really is obviously its for the union, its for Hoffa, and its to support Hoffa over Tony Provenzano. And its to show his support for Jimmy, and Jimmys support for Frank. [APPLAUSE] The highlight of my life. Thank you very very, very much. And this man, James Riddle Hoffa, is the guy that gets the job done. Underlying all that, you have the darker elements, which are the men who are in real control of the situation. Any case, from the deepest part of my heart, I thank you all. Because I dont really deserve all this. But I have bursitis, and I dont deserve that, either. The structure of the scene is all about the looks. The dialogue doesnt matter until you have this extraordinary moment, I think, between Russell and Frank, where Russell gives Frank this special ring that only three people have. And so for me, the playing of the scene had to be weaving all the sense of a celebration, so to speak, or family gathering, weaving all that around these beats, all strung together by the music: Jerry Vale. (SINGING) Please It has a very melodramatic tragedy to it. You know, a sweetness and a sadness at the same time. (SINGING) Say you and your Spanish eyes Its like you go to an event, and there are factions. There are factions. And one faction may be polite, but theyre not going to be smiling too much. But theyre there. During that time, certain things are said. Looks are given, which are harder than words. But the main looks Anna Paquin. A whole sequence revolves around Annas Peggy, that is picking up of the subtext of whats going on. There is trouble happening. There are problems. And she knows I mean, particularly even Anna Paquin said, when she did the dancing shot, and she looks over, and shes says, I never saw looks like that from people. She said it chilled her as a person. Only three people in the world have one of these, and only one of them is Irish. I have one, Angelo has one, and now you have one. So really its about the balancing and the editing of the frames, which encompass medium shots hardly any close-ups. Usually medium to medium close-up, like right below the shoulders up. That entails seeing a little more of the body language rather than giant close-ups. The reason for that is the atmosphere and the environment around them has to be present in the frame, because that affects them. And there you see them in that environment and that atmosphere. If its too close, I think you objectify it in a way. You push the audience away. But one of the hardest things to do was to get them in the frame in the wide shot, looking down, as Jerry Vale is singing in the background. Theyre like the gods overlooking this world that they created in a way. Theres one shot from their point of view, with a long lens of Jimmy walking around and suddenly saying hello to Angelo Russo, played by Harvey Keitel. The reason is a personal reason. And that was that Harvey Keitel and Al Pacino were never in the same frame together in any movie. Things have gotten that with our friend again. And some people are having serious problems with him. And its at a point where youre going to have to talk to him and tell him its what it is. Once I settled on the size of the frame and the size of the people in the frame, I know that, then, it was really myself and my editor, Thelma, in the editing room, playing with the dialogue and playing with the looks and the pauses the pauses and the silences. These are the higher-ups. Well, hes a higher-up, too. I mean, theres no one Not like this. You know that. Oh, come on, Frank. If they can whack a president, they can whack a president of the union. You know it, and I know it.

Anatomy of a smear: How John Bolton became a target of the pro-Trump Internet – Hot Air

The sensational headline mischaracterized the evidence presented in the post, which drew on a Washington Post story about how Bolton had earned speaking fees from Deutsche Bank, the British bank HSBC and a foundation operated by a Ukrainian steel magnate. All nuance was lost, however, when the blog post gained sudden traction on Monday, posted to about two dozen Facebook groups with a collective membership of more than 300,000. One of them was a group called Fox News Sean Hannity, described as a forum for all Sean Hannity fans. The blog post primed Fox viewers in the group which has no official links to the network or the popular Trump-friendly host for what they would hear when they tuned in that night.

Craddick bluntly assessed the motivations behind the renewed interest in his post, but he had little sympathy for Boltons boosters, either.

Now the Republicans dont like Bolton, so theyll take an article that makes him look bad and push it, he said. But if the Democrats werent getting something useful out of him, they wouldnt be fans either.

Anatomy of a very short weather balloon flight over MSP – Minnesota Public Radio News

Twice a day, meteorologists at the Twin Cities and other National Weather Service offices launch weather balloons into the sky.

The balloons carry an instrument package called a radiosonde several miles up into the atmosphere. The radiosonde beams back real-time data on atmospheric parameters like temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and pressure.

Michelle Margraf, from NOAA's Twin Cities National Weather Service, launches a weather balloon carrying instruments that measure atmospheric variables.

Thursdays 6 a.m. Twin Cities NWS weather balloon launch rose nearly straight up into the atmosphere. Light winds in the lowest mile caused the balloon to rise fairly close to the launch point.

As the balloon gained altitude, stronger but still relatively light westerly winds gently pushed the balloon eastward along Interstate 494 in the southern Twin Cities.

The balloon continued to gain altitude over Eden Prairie. By the time it reached Bloomington, it was more than 20 miles above ground level 108,675 feet above the ground to be precise.

Then it burst.

The parachute on the radiosonde slowed carried the unit gently back to earth. The instrument package began to descend as it drifted over Richfield, the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, Mendota Heights and West St. Paul.

Finally, the parachute guided the instrument package to a landing in Woodbury in the eastern Twin Cities.

Heres the map of the flight path from Thursday mornings launch.

Weather balloons launched front the Twin Cities NWS office in Chanhassen, Minn., typically travel 80 to 200 miles. But Thursdays morning flight was unusually short.

The light wind profile above the Twin Cities produced a flight of only about 30 miles. The NWS Twin Cities tweeted Thursday about the unusually short flight.

So, what did data the balloon launch gather? This is a little inside weather baseball geeky, but take a look at the sounding below. The left-hand image shows the temperature and dew-point profile with height through the atmosphere.

Thursdays launch occurred under nearly ideal conditions given the light surface wind. Thats not always the case. Check out this launch under extreme conditions during the April blizzard in 2018.

2020 NFL Draft: The anatomy of an elite safety prospect – With the First Pick

Use your (arrows) to browse

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA NOVEMBER 09: Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. #11 of the Minnesota Golden Gophers intercepts a pass intended for wide receiver KJ Hamler #1 of the Penn State Nittany Lions during the second quarter at TCFBank Stadium on November 09, 2019 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is one of the top safeties in the 2020 NFL Draft. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)

The safety position has become a role that is no longer just a role of sitting twelve yards deep. A safety in todays game has to do multiple things if they want to be considered the best. Having a good safety can change the way a defense is played. Safeties cant afford to stand back and watch things happen, they have to make things happen. Good news: there are a handful of great ones in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Your favorite safety now probably looks a little bit different than what your favorite safety was as a kid. The evolution from safety prospect to a starting safety is evolving. They look more versatile, theyre all shaped a little differently, and yet there are so many good ones without there being a true prototype.

Some of the most exciting players in todays game are safeties who roam around the back end while also contributing in every area. Not all safeties are built the same though and that is what makes the game so exciting today. We are seeing different breeds of safeties who are allowing the game to continue to evolve.

No matter how different they are though, the safety position comes with its own core traits. Imagine what your perfect safety would look like if you combined the best trait from each of the top safeties in the game.

Think about the versatility of a Derwin James that made him an All-Pro as a rookie. Maybe you like the versatility of Jamal Adams because after all the two are both versatile yet so different. Okay I see, you love to see a ballhawk like Eddie Jackson on the back end of your defense.

If youre more of an underdog type of guy then maybe you love the tenacity and beautiful recklessness that guys like Tyrann Mathieu and Budda Baker bring to the game in a small frame as the underdog. Wait I know now your style is more of a sure open field tackler like Jamal Adams that will get you off the couch in excitement. Unless you prefer your safeties in the box and delivering big hits like a Landon Collins.

This draft class has its own set of unique talents at the safety position despite the feeling it isnt a deep prospect group. An elite safety can be built based on some of the best traits from each safety prospect. The anatomy of an elite safety using this draft class looks a little something like this

‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Richard and Catherine’s Marriage Is On the RocksHere’s Why Fans Are Happy About It – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Its no secret that most fans are annoyed with Debbie Allens character, Catherine Fox, on this season of Greys Anatomy. However, in her defense, Richard Webber (James Pickens, Jr.) did have some shady business going on with his friend from AA. Lets take a look at why fans think their relationship is about to crumble, and why fans are ecstatic about it.

[Warning: Greys Anatomy Season 16 spoilers ahead]

Although Richard was in a good majority of scenes this week, Catherine only made a quick appearance in the last two minutes. She took that time to grill her husband on where he was all day. The only Catherine we see this season is the jealous one.

The entire episode, Richard was consoling his daughter, Maggie Pierce (Kelly McCreary), and trying to get her to come back to work. However, Catherine doesnt think that should have taken him all day.

Catherine, this isnt going to work if you dont trust me, Richard tells his wife.

Who said this is working? she responds. Richard, I think its time for us to have a much bigger conversation.

By the way she is looking at him, we know that this is not going to go well. Next weeks promo for Greys Anatomy reveals that it is Richard and Catherines anniversary. We are in for a snarky dinner party.

Does anyone really care about Catherine and Richards marriage at this point?one Reddit userposed the question. Out of all the relationships, this one annoys me the most. Its either arguing, or shes out of town. I just felt his relationships with Adele and Ellis were way better and worth being invested in.

After the fan complained about the couple, several other viewers joined in. They feel that Richards relationship with Adele (Loretta Divine) or even Merediths mother, Ellis (Kate Burton), was better than this one. Thats saying a lot since Richard had an affair with Ellis and cheated on Adele.

The last season she has been on the STUPIDEST jealousy-trip, another Redditor added. And she becomes such a bitch. Its really annoying. She always demands to be so POWERFUL. Yes, she is strong and has been through a lot, but that DOES NOT mean she can bulldoze through everyone else just to fulfill her demands.

There are many instances where Catherine dismisses others feelings. She does not seem like the right fit for Richard, with how demanding she is.

Viewers of the show are calling for the couple to break up. Some fans are asking for worse than a breakup.

Well, its been a while since a major character death, her cancer might come back soon, one fan pointed out. Or they might break up, and one or both of them end up retiring. Because yeah, the relationship sucks.

Whether Catherine dies or they break up, it sounds like fans will be happy about it.

I get that shes a powerful, strong woman and is a leader, another fan added. But she acts like she is the end all be all of the relationship. I feel like Richard has consistently lessened himself just to give her her own way. Every once in a while, he stands up for himself, but she basically whaps him with a newspaper. I dont like what their relationship has done to Richards character.

Viewers are ready to see Richard without Catherine. He is an original character to the show and deserves a better storyline without her destructive personality.

Find out what happens with the couple when Greys Anatomy returns on Feb. 6, 2020, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Should Grey’s Anatomy Fans Be Worried About Jackson Avery? – E! NEWS

Grey's Anatomy said goodbye to Justin Chambers' Alex Karev (sort of), but fans don't have to worry about another exityet.

Jesse Williams, Jackson Avery on the show since season six, will make his Broadway debut in the revival of Take Me Out in the spring of 2020. But that doesn't mean Williams is leaving the show or Jackson is leaving Grey Sloan Memorial.

"I've known since the beginning of the season and I've been able to plan [Jackson]'s storyline [accordingly]," executive producer Krista Vernoff told TVLine about any possible scheduling conflicts. "Jesse is able to fly back one day a week; we're just making it work [because] this was important to him."

Typically, Broadway shows are dark (meaning they don't run) one day out of the week. Rest easy, Grey's Anatomy fans. Jackson is sticking around...for now.

Meanwhile, the show has yet to fully explain Karev's exit aside from the fact that he's still visiting family. His character's last episode aired in November. Chambers has been with the show since the start.

"There's no good time to say goodbye to a show and character that's defined so much of my life for the past 15 years," Chambers said in a statement. "For some time now, however, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices. And, as I turn 50 and am blessed with my remarkable, supportive wife and five wonderful children, now is that time. As I move on from Grey's Anatomy, I want to thank the ABC family, Shonda Rimes, original cast members Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens, and the rest of the amazing cast and crew, both past and present, and, of course, the fans for an extraordinary ride."

What happens to Karev remains to be seen. As of now, his wife, Jo (Camilla Luddington) is still at work in Seattle and he's still visiting his mom out of state.

Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays, 9 p.m. on ABC.

Grey’s Anatomy Round Table: The Crossover Flopped, But Chandra Wilson Delivered! – TV Fanatic

The special two-hour Station 19/Grey's Anatomy crossover took place, but all of our favorites survived the ordeal.

On Grey's Anatomy Season 16 Episode 10, there was an engagement, another lawsuit, and a rite of passage for the latest residents.

Join TV Fanatics Meaghan Frey, Paul Dailly, Jasmine Blu, and Grey's Fanatic Berea Orange.

Did the crossover event live up to the hype, and would you consider it a success?

Berea: It didnt live up to the hype. It was okay, sure, but not as epic as they advertised it to be. I think it was a success in that it boosted Station 19s ratings.

Meaghan: I'm going to be honest; I didn't watch the first half of the crossover event. I have never been able to get into Station 19, and it felt like I could get the gist of what happened by just watching Grey's.

However, even just looking at it from a purely Grey's perspective, it was a little bit of a letdown. It was a good episode, but not over the top amazing.

I am worried that with Station 19 being pushed into the 8 pm time slot, they are going to push more of these events on us to try to get more viewers to Station 19.

I understand that the One Chicago block has successfully been able to do this, but Grey's was an established show on its own for far too long to be able to try to switch up the approach now.

Paul: It was a failure. The Grey's Anatomy cast is being used to prop up Station 19, and I'm tired of it. Let Station 19 stand on its own two feet. If it can't, it shouldn't be an ongoing series.

Jasmine: It did not live up to the hype at all. And Meaghan, you didn't need to watch the Station 19 part to understand the Grey's part of everything. I found the first half very disappointing.

They are trying to make it a thing, but it's not working. They can't pull off the Chicago Universe crossovers.

It was designed to help Station 19 only, but it backfired, since the Grey's characters outshined on Station 19, and then none of Station 19 showed up in the Grey's part, so it wasn't a full-blown crossover.

Of all of GSM's own in peril, who were you most concerned about? Which person/case were/are you invested in the most?

Berea: I was most concerned about Helm. They made it seem like there would be a big death, and I thought it would be someone we cared about. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed there wasnt a big death.

I was very interested in Parkers PTSD episode. Ive been dying for some good Parker content.

Brody: I'm okay. I want to help.Bailey: Brody, those are your friends.Brody: That's why I want to help.

Meaghan: I too thought that we were going to get a death. The interns haven't suffered a major blow yet like the past intern groups. I feel like they are due for something, so while they might have all made it out of this one alive, I think something is coming soon for them.

In general, I was most concerned about Parker because of the PTSD aspect of things. A catastrophic event like this is a huge trigger, and I wasn't sure if Parker would recover as easily as he did.

I also really enjoyed all the newer cast coming together at the end. The new cast have all felt very expendable up until this point. It is nice for them to start developing them as more than just the annoying interns that are a thorn in the sides of the core cast.

Paul: I cared for Helm the most. There was a lot of foreshadowing, and her admission of love certainly made it seem like she was going to die.

I felt like all of the cases were interesting. However, I think I would have liked a death. We need some conflict, you guys!

Jasmine: I was expecting someone to die, and we didn't get it. I mean, you don't wish death on a character, but it was set up to kill someone off, and they didn't do it. Why tease it that way at all?

I also think it's unfortunate that all the characters in peril were those who were shoved to the background for so long. Did anyone remember or care about Blake?

I was most concerned about and interested in Parker. He was always one of my favorite of the new interns, and I loved him getting more exploration, especially with his PTSD.

Owen finally proposed to Teddy. React.

Berea: I. Do. Not. Care. This is so stupid to me. Sure theyve known each other forever, and shes pined for him forever, but I dont think they should rush into marriage.

If I were Teddy, Id want to wait and make sure hes not just dating her because she gave him the child hes been so desperate for, for years. I will say I hope she goes back to Tom because I just think he deserves everything. And Jackson is the last person to give someone advice on committing.

Meaghan: I'm happy for them. The other day I was looking over old reviews I wrote for my blog and found one from when Teddy made an appearance when Megan Hunt came back.

That storyline was when I finally was able to see Teddy and Owen together and really root for them, so watching them finally take that next step was nice to see.

The problem is that it is tainted a little bit by the looming possibility of Owen being the father of Amelia's baby. For the sake of all couples involved, I hope it's Link's baby.

Owen: Teddy, this ring is my mom's. She gave it to me the day Alison was born, and I've been carrying it around in my pocket ever since. And I love you, and there is no perfect moment, and I am not a perfect man, but you are the perfect woman for me. So, Theodore Grace Altman, will you --Teddy: Owen, no.Owen: No? Is it Tom?Teddy: Owen, stand up. Listen to me. You are not obligated to marry me. You do not have to do this. I want you to break the patterns not reinforce them. Owen: I'm not repeating a pattern. I'm staring a new one. Loving you. Loving our family, with my whole heart every day. That's my new pattern. I love you. I love you. Tedd. Marry me. Marry me. Marry me, Teddy.

Paul: It was about time. The showrunner wanted them together from the get-go. That much was clear, but I am glad there is a progression for Owen. This proposal felt different.

Jasmine: Meh. I mean, I remember feeling that way about them too, Meaghan, back when Megan returned. I was rooting for them in Germany too.

Now, I just don't care anymore. Good for them, though. Hopefully, it's drama-free, so please, end this baby daddy thing.

On a scale of 1-10, how emotional was Bailey's breakdown with Richard?

Berea: A solid 10 across the board. Chandra Wilson is so good. This brought me back to the hospital shooting when she broke down at the elevators. She is so good at those scenes. Im glad we got to see her and Ben feel and cope with this loss.

Meaghan: 10. Chandra is an incredible actress, and I love getting to see her shine. The moment of her, Meredith and Richard coming together was also a moment I loved.

They are officially the final three, so it is more important than ever for them to support each other.

I am hoping now that Bailey has opened up about her loss, that we have avoided the downward spiral that I feared she was heading into.

Richard: Bailey, everyone is fine.Bailey: Everyone. Everyone. Everyone I touched today. Everyone I held in my hands, I gave to another surgeon to put back together again. Fine. To lose you, and Grey, Hunt, and Karev. Fine. I made that work. But this. This I --I am not fine. She isn't fine. And I can't even hold her in my hands or put her in someone else's hands or put her back together again, and she just was, and now she just isn't, and I can't do anything but stand here. Stand here and lose her.

Paul: 10. Chandra delivered the best performance I have ever seen, and I could feel the emotion there. It was heartbreaking, and I want her to get awards for that scene.

Jasmine: 10. It was the best moment of the entire two hours. It made the entire crossover worth it. Chandra Wilson is a powerhouse, and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves for her performance. I got choked up.

Should Amelia have told Link about the baby? How are you feeling about this "baby daddy'" arc?

Berea: Yes, she should. But Im sure she will soon enough. This paternity issue is actually pretty annoying for me. Amelink was the only bright spot in this season so far, and they have to ruin it with Owen.

Link: So you had something you want to tell me?Amelia:Uh, I didn't want to know, but, um, it's a boy.

Meaghan: She really needs to. Of course, it is going to be a major blow to him now that he has come to terms with the idea of being a father, but he is a great guy, and he will be understanding about this.

It isn't like Amelia cheated on him. It was just potentially awkward timing. The longer Amelia waits to tell him, the worse it is going to be.

I need this storyline to be over and have a resolution one way or the other, hopefully with Link being the father.

Paul: Yes! That was such an annoying scene. She clearly changed focus when she heard about Teddy and Owen. I dont actually mind the plot, but we need some movement in it.

Jasmine: I'm in denial, so I would rather pretend it isn't happening, and that includes telling my precious Link that the baby he's looking forward to may not be his.

I'm so sick of this contrived, redundant, cheap storyline. It's stupid.

Amelia and Link are what I have consistently loved about the season, and they won't let them be happy. If they already gave Bailey a miscarriage, why couldn't they leave Amelia's pregnancy complication-free?

Burn it with fire.

Do you think Jo will want to pursue motherhood after her time spent with the baby? How do you think they'll carry on with her storyline in Alex's absence?

Berea: Im sure Jo has some baby fever, so Im very interested to see how Alex will get written off, and what theyll do. They might kill him offscreen and send her back into a depression.

Meaghan: You would think the answer will be yes, but with the uncertainty surrounding Alex and how he will get written out, I'm not sure where this storyline is going.

I need them to let us in on how Alex is going to be "officially" written out. Right now we are stuck in limbo, and it doesn't feel right.

Paul: She wants a child, for sure, but Im not sure where her head will be at. Alex is out of town, and shes going to feel like shes alone if he doesnt arrive off-screen to, you know, leave for good.

Jasmine: I have no idea what's going on here anymore. What will they scramble to sort out? I don't know how they plan to resolve Alex's disappearance, but I can envision an adoption arc for Jo.

It's something about it coming full-circle that makes it potentially interesting, even if she does it alone.

Who was the MVP of the hour?

Berea: Miranda Bailey easily. End of discussion.

Meaghan: I'm with Berea, Miranda. She was incredible.

Paul: Its a full house, er, table. Miranda Bailey was outstanding.

Jasmine: Miranda motherf*cking Bailey.

I'll give an honorary mention to Teddy for how she handled the Casey situation, too.

What was your favorite scene/moment/quote?

Berea: Richard: Are you okay?

Warren: No. But Miranda comes first.

Warren: Thanks for coming.Richard: Thanks for calling. Well, she seems okay.Warren: She's not. She says she is, but she's working through a miscarriage. She hasn't had time to break yet. I can't be there in that OR with her, so someone else who loves her needs to be there. In case she breaks.Richard: Of course.Warren: Thank you.Richard: Warren are you okay?Warren: No. But Miranda comes first.

Ben Warren is the best man who has ever graced the halls of Seattle Grace Mercy West Grey-Sloan, and Ill stand by this statement until my dying day. Benley was the only inter show romance we ever needed.

Meaghan: I loved that moment too, Berea! It made me so mad that they took him away from Grey's. I have always loved Ben. Can they please cancel Station 19 and bring him back, or just have him be written out and go back to starring on Grey's?

I also loved Helm declaring her love for Mer.

Paul: The interns chatting in the aftermath of the accident. They all survived the night. It was very reminiscent of early Greys.

Jasmine: Yes, Meaghan and Berea! I got a little emotional when Ben said that. Honestly, for as much as we raved about Miranda, I have to acknowledge that Ben Warren was the MVP of the Station 19 hour, and Jason George was amazing too.

But yes, aside from that, and Bailey's breakdown, I agree with Paul, I loved the final moments with the interns/residents. It did have the old-school Grey's Anatomy vibe, I love.
