El Milan va por la remontada ante el Inter, por un lugar en la final de la Champions League

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

(CNN) — El entrenador del AC Milan, Stefano Pioli, dice que su equipo cree que puede remontar la desventaja de dos goles contra el Inter de Milán en el partido de vuelta de semifinales de la Champions League de este martes.El Inter aprovechó un rápido comienzo para ganar el partido de ida 2-0 la semana pasada y es el equipo designado como local para el encuentro de vuelta, lo que significa que puede asignar más asientos a los aficionados a pesar de compartir el estadio de San Siro con su rival más acérrimo.Aunque el Inter cuenta con casi toda la ventaja, Pioli afirma que su equipo tiene lo que hace falta para superar los pronósticos.“Tenemos un objetivo claro, que es ganar la eliminatoria, por lo que aún podemos llegar a la final”, dijo a la prensa antes del partido.“Nadie predijo que estaríamos a estas alturas de la competición, y menos en la final, pero sé lo buenos que son mis jugadores. Se han conseguido hazañas extraordinarias; hay que creer y nosotros l...

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

The European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) on Tuesday said it was carrying out 40 house searches in Romania and France as part of an ongoing investigation into a €30 million fraud involving EU and national funds.“At stake is a suspected criminal scheme to provide false letters of guarantee to awardees of projects financed by EU funds, which claimed to insure the projects against potential damages,” the EPPO said in a statement.Searches were carried out in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a wealthy spot on the French Riviera, and in the Romanian cities of Bucharest, Alba, Arad, Cluj, Constanța, Hunedoara, Iași, Mureș and Olt. Seven law enforcement agencies are taking part in the operation, which is still ongoing.According to the prosecutor’s office, between 2020 and 2023 “several fictitious banks or dubious financial entities” issued letters of guarantees for projects benefitting from EU funding, without the necessary cash to cover the insured damages.

Marijuana harms babies in first trimester of pregnancy, study finds

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

(CNN) — If you are pregnant and use any form of cannabis product, consider stopping.That’s the takeaway from a new study that found a significant health impact of marijuana use on fetal development as early as the beginning of pregnancy.“That’s why these findings are especially important — people can often be well into the first trimester and don’t even know they are pregnant,” said lead author Beth Bailey, professor of psychology and director of population health research at the College of Medicine at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant.“Our study drills down to look very specifically at a specific time point in pregnancy — the first trimester. We found a significant decrease in birth weight of 154 grams. In terms of pounds, it’s about a third of a pound,” she said.While one-third of a pound may not seem to be much, such slight decreases in weight have been linked to health problems as children grow, Bailey said.“Low birth weight is one of the strongest predictors of...

Alcohol License Fight Returns To Legislature, For Now

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

Legislation that would establish a new class of alcohol licenses for convenience stores, supermarkets and other businesses may lead to another statewide ballot question, an opponent of the proposal testified Monday.Cumberland Farms and Market Basket, for example, could be eligible for an unlimited number of so-called food store licenses for wine and malt beverages under the Rep. Daniel Cahill bill (H 253) — unlike package stores and other retailers subject to stricter alcohol license caps under existing state law, warned Robert Mellion, executive director and general counsel at the Massachusetts Package Stores Association.“H 253 is a blueprint for a ballot question. Here we go again,” Mellion told members of the Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure on Monday afternoon.Package stores can have only nine licenses, but Cumberland Farms could theoretically control 206 licenses at all of its Massachusetts locations, he said.“I don’...

MLB’s new pitch clock may be leading to more blown saves

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The pitch clock has sped up baseball as hoped — and it might be leading to more exciting endings, too.A quarter of the way through Major League Baseball’s first season with the pitch timer, relief pitchers seem to be bearing the most stress from it, with save conversions dropping to 61.4% from 67.8% at a similar point last season.The save percentage is near the bottom range of the past decade, which averaged 65.1%, MLB said Monday. The high was 70% in 2015 and the low 61% in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.“Whenever relievers are coming in, it’s mostly a stressful situation,” said Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano, whose time between pitches dropped from to 14.8 seconds from 20.5 last season. “It was nice before when you did have those extra few seconds.“Now you’ve just got to get your thoughts together and go,” the 2022 All-Star added. “I haven’t noticed it too much but yeah, I guess in the times I’ve struggled, a couple extra seconds w...

Man sentenced to 22 years in prison for sexually abusing autistic girl, sharing images

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A former special education technician who sexually abused a 6-year-old autistic girl and recorded it was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison on Monday.Benjamin Conroy, who pleaded guilty last year to sexual exploitation of a minor, must serve 15 years of probation when he’s released from prison, the judge said.Conroy, 34, sexually abused the student at an elementary school in Portland and sent explicit images to a person who contacted the Portland Police Department, according to court documents.U.S. Attorney Darcie McElwee said Conroy sexually exploited a child in a place where parents should be confident in their children’s safety — a school — and “used his position as a school employee to victimize a young child with special needs.”The defense contended Conroy suffered sexual abuse as a boy, and had suffered from a head injury and from mental illness and addiction to painkillers at the time he perpetuated the abuse.Conroy was arre...

Chicago Bears and school districts tangle over taxes for potential stadium property in Arlington Heights

Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 08:43:52 GMT

The Chicago Bears and a trio of school districts whose financial resources stand to be impacted by the football team’s proposed redevelopment of Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights are deadlocked over how much the Bears should pay in property taxes for the site.Team President and CEO Kevin Warren said in a May 4 letter to three school district superintendents that their proposal of a $95 million valuation for the property is a “non-starter” and “not viable.” The valuation would result in the Bears paying $7.9 million in yearly property taxes.“This is an excessive sum for property that will sit idle and will have no commercial use for at least the next two years,” Warren wrote.The Bears countered by proposing annual tax payments of $4.3 million, and called for returning to the negotiating table.Warren’s May 4 letter, obtained by Pioneer Press, addressed collectively to the superintendents of Palatine Community Consol...

On Monday morning, several Jets fans panicked when they saw star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams’ Twitter profile.Williams changed his Twitter bio to say “Defensive Tackle for ………..” He also now has a photo from his college days at Alabama instead of a more recent one in a Jets uniform.It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Williams is unhappy with his contract situation with the Jets.
