NEEDHAM – The title-hopeful Newton North boys volleyball team can usually shake off a sluggish start to make a strong bid for a win, on the road, against most programs.Two-time defending Div. 1 state champion Needham isn’t most programs.Using a combination of high-level serving and blocking, as well as another standout performance from Ethan McCarron, the unbeaten Rockets (20-0) took full advantage of an atypical start from the Tigers to end their Bay State Conference schedule with a 3-0 (25-15, 25-16, 25-23) sweep Wednesday night.Newton North eventually climbed out of the hole it dug by the third set, but Needham is as hard to rally against as they come. McCarron finished with 14 kills, Luke Lorence added nine kills, and the Rockets secured their 65th straight win.“We’ve been working on (maintaining early leads),” said Needham head coach Dave Powell. “I was glad with the way we came out. We were on the attack, serving tough and blocking well. … Ethan was (also) really effecti...

HONOLULU (AP) — As Typhoon Mawar aimed its fury at Guam, residents facing terrifying winds and crashing waves from the strongest typhoon to hit the U.S. Pacific territory in decades had identical twin meteorologists to keep them informed — and to provide the outside world with a glimpse of the chaos unfolding on the remote island.The National Weather Service’s Guam office employs Landon Aydlett as its warning coordination meteorologist. His brother Brandon Aydlett is the science and operations officer. Together, the 41-year-olds tag-teamed Facebook Live broadcasts watched by thousands as Typhoon Mawar approached with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (225 kph), wreaking havoc as residents lost power, internet and water service.
