Supporters of alleged terrorist fill federal courtroom

By adamg - 7/21/10 - 7:26 am

J.M. Lawrence reports on a hearing in US District Court yesterday for Tarek Mehanna, a Sudbury man charged with terrorism:

... There were so many supporters for Mehanna, who is accused of providing material support to a terrorist organization, that an overflow courtroom was created where they could view the brief proceedings on closed circuit television.

Several young boys, who waved at Mehanna as he entered the courtroom, wore hand-me-down suits a few sizes too big for them. One woman wore a headscarf with another scarf covering her lower face as she tried to soothe a fussy infant. ...

The Globe reports on a Sudbury man who's now spent 10 years trying to find Babe Ruth's old piano in Willis Pond, overlooking which Ruth owned a home when he played for the Sox.

Ed. note: For readers who have just returned from a 20-year trip to Pluto, the Globe thoughtfully adds: "The piano has been elusive -- but not as elusive as the World Series championship that the post-Ruth Red Sox yearned for until 85 years after Ruth was sold to the Yankees. The Red Sox finally won championships in 2004 and 2007."

AOL looks to get micro-mini-quark-sized-hyperlocal in Sudbury

Patch, which is AOL's latest effort to blow through millions of dollars hyperlocal play, is looking to bust out of its current Tri-State playpen and move into the Boston area, starting with Sudbury. They're looking to hire somebody to compile descriptions of businesses and organizations in Sudbury, which is almost as affluent as Wellesley or Concord, just a lot quieter. Says you can make $400-$1,000 a week for up to six months doing this. They think it's going to take six months to do profiles of every business on Rte. 20? Huh!

Wait: Dan Shaughnessy runs Lincoln-Sudbury schools now?

By adamg - 6/6/08 - 12:17 pm

The blog-hating columnist has company in Lincoln-Sudbury School Superintendent John Ritchie, who warned graduating seniors last night not to "sink to the levels" of dangerous, foul-mouthed bloggers. Ritchie made the admonishment despite admitting that:

I never - believe or not — read any of these blogs and never will. But I have been informed of what is said: the tenor, the tone, the message.

Now, in that particular case, he's referring specifically to the comments Wicked Local sites allow on their blogs - even more specifically, about the way the local paper printed local teacher salaries - but still, Johnny, what sort of example are you setting for the kids by blabbering about things you've never actually seen?

Teen-ager stabbed to death - in Sudbury

Channel 5: Teen Dies After Stabbing At High School.
MetroWest Daily News: Students: 'Really creepy kid' at L-S High talked of murder and bombs.

Margalit says the news hits home:

... When I saw the "breaking news' and the story was revealed, my heart literally lept into my throat. Even though this isn't the school my kids attend, they know kids from this school through camp and social settings. It is the school my cousins kids attended. It is the school an old friend's daughters will attend. It is the school that I wanted to teach at before I quit that noble profession for a real paycheck in the software industry. ...

I weep for my own children who are so vulnerable and precious. I will hug them tight tonight and tell them how much I love them. Please do the same with your own children.
