Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:42 GMT

(CNN) — Los jugadores y aficionados del fútbol en Chile quedaron estupefactos después de que un árbitro y sus oficiales no concedieran un gol luego de que el balón cruzara la línea por cerca de medio metro.En los primeros 10 segundos del partido de Copa Chile entre Colo-Colo y Unión La Calera, el defensa de Colo-Colo Alan Saldivia dio un pase al portero Fernando de Paul.Algunos jugadores de La Calera empezaron a celebrarlo, pero se detuvieron rápidamente cuando se dieron cuenta de que el árbitro Víctor Abarzúa no había señalado el gol y Colo-Colo siguió jugando.Para colmo de males, antes de que La Calera pudiera reclamarle a los árbitros, Colo-Colo subió por el otro lado e inmediatamente anotó el 1-0.Las cosas no fueron nada bien para La Calera, puesto que Colo-Colo ganó el partido 6-1 y se clasificó para las semifinales regionales, mientras que La Calera terminó el encuentro con 10 hombres.Un arquero argentino marca un gol de saque de arco: podría batir el récord del gol con ...

STEAMY, STORMY AND SAHARAN DUST

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:42 GMT

Happy Friday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone has had a great holiday week!  Friday is finally here and conditions across South Florida remained the same through the entire week. Warm and muggy conditions in the morning have given way to steamy conditions each afternoon, as our feels-like temperatures have soared well into the triple digits. On Thursday, a few areas saw showers and thunderstorms, however, many areas also simply remained steamy through a big chunk of the day. This morning there were showers and thunderstorms over the Florida Bay lifting northward away from the Florida Keys but the storms fizzled before affecting any land areas.Unlike yesterday’s steering pattern out of the South, the weather pattern for South Florida will begin to change starting today. The wind direction across South Florida will veer out of the Southwest, which means showers and thunderstorms will favor the East Coast metro during the afternoon. With a warm Southwest wind flow in place, very...

Florida scientist utilizes high-tech solution to combat dangerous mosquitoes nationwide

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:42 GMT

TAMPA, Fla. (WSVN) — In the battle against mosquitoes, University of South Florida biologist, Ryan Carney, has employed cutting-edge technology to track and monitor these disease-carrying pests. Experts said malaria stands as one of the most significant health threats worldwide which emphasizes the urgent need to address the mosquito problem. “For malaria in particular, that’s only spread by anopheles mosquitoes as far as human malaria is considered,” said Carney.Recognizing the significant health risks posed by mosquitoes, Carney and his team have developed an innovative online tool called MosquitoDashboard.org. “So it’s basically an online interactive dashboard that maps the mosquito data and photos that citizen scientists take using one of our three partner apps,” said Carney.With mosquito-borne diseases resurfacing in Florida, this advanced tracking system aims to empower citizens and enhance public health efforts.

Heat On Repeat

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:42 GMT

Back to back 90 degrees for some inland communities are in the books. Today, we’ll add day 3 for some. Places like Norwood, Bedford, Fitchburg, and Nashua, NH will have their chance of clinching the heat wave today as highs soar to 90 or just above it inland. At the beaches, it’ll be another fun one in the sun as temps hover around 80 with a breeze bending in from the ocean. We look dry from start to finish as showers and storms stay northwest of Worcester County, keeping it quiet across Central and Eastern Mass. Tomorrow, we’ll knock off a couple degrees, but it’s an overall solid start to the weekend. While a few pop-up showers and storms are possible, most of the favor inland locations (mainly near and northwest of 495), and even there, much of the day is dry. Highs run 75-80 at the beach to 85-90 inland. Sunday has more clouds and a passing isolated showers/storm, but most of the rain holds off, to our west during the day. That wet weather does move in Su...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:25:42 GMT

In each of the five most-recent seasons through 2022 that Major League Baseball held its All-Star Game, the Orioles sent just one representative. But as the fruits of an arduous rebuild finally reach the majors, the club’s fortunes are beginning to change.The Orioles will have four All-Stars — catcher Adley Rutschman, outfielder Austin Hays and relief pitchers Félix Bautista and Yennier Cano — in Seattle in 2023, their largest contingent since sending four in 2016. Rutschman is the crown jewel of the organization’s teardown as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 draft, and his arrival has coincided with a return to competitiveness for a club that hasn’t reached the playoffs since that 2016 season.While the spotlight will be on Rutschman as he returns to the Pacific Northwest, there are plenty of other things for Orioles fans to keep an eye on during All-Star Week in Seattle.All-Star Futures GameFor those hoping to catch a glimpse of the next wave of...
