ISLAMABAD (AP) — An investigation has been launched into the death of a Pakistani porter near the peak of the world’s most treacherous mountain, a Pakistani mountaineer said Saturday, following allegations that dozens of climbers eager to reach the summit had walked past the man after he was gravely injured in a fall.The accusations surrounding events on July 27 on K2, the world’s second-highest peak, overshadowed a record established by Norwegian climber Kristin Harila and her Sherpa guide Tenjin. By climbing K2 that day, they became the world’s fastest climbers, scaling the world’s 14 highest mountains in 92 days.Harila rejected any responsibility for the death of the porter, Mohammed Hassan, a 27-year-old father of three who slipped and fell off a narrow trail in a particularly dangerous area of K2 known as the bottleneck. In an Instagram post Friday, she wrote that she felt “angry at how many people have been blaming others for this tragic death” and that...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:36:49 GMT

State-wide shortage of school bus drivers for some districts is leaving a driver deficiency across the state struggling to fill the gaps. Executive Director Tom Hamilton of the School Transportation Association of Massachusetts said suburbs are mostly affected.“We’re seeing probably about a 10 to 15 percent shortage across the state in all the suburbs,” Hamilton said.Framingham needs 77 total drivers to accommodate all students but only have 57 drivers currently employed to start the year“That’s a lot of drivers to be sure, and if you have an injury or somebody’s out sick, it just compounds it,” Hamilton said.In Hopkinton, a bus in front of the high school was advertising for potential bus drivers to apply. The sign says “Drivers Wanted. Will Train.”Many districts are still trying to bounce back from the pandemic when some drivers had to get more consistent employment.“It was shaky because some districts were only going two days a week, some were going three, some were go...

Bill Madden: Time for Hal Steinbrenner to clean house in the Yankees’ failed analytics department

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:36:49 GMT

The Yankee legions are exasperated.They have seen enough of this aging, non-athletic, unexciting Yankee team that is about to miss the postseason for the fourth time in the last 11 years despite the highest or second highest payrolls throughout, and they want the principal architect, Brian Cashman, fired.They have looked up and down the lineup and what they have seen is the Orioles and Rays in particular have better, mostly younger, more athletic players on both sides of the ball at catcher, first base, shortstop, third base and left field. They see in Aaron Judge and Clarke Schmidt the only two homegrown players of consequence on this team and wonder why the Yankee player development department has failed so miserably for so long.Back in March Hal Steinbrenner said you shouldn’t have to spend $300 million to win a title and he was right. You shouldn’t have to spend $300 million (or in the Yankees’ case $280 million) to finish last (where they were entering the wee...
