Soccer or should we say, fútbol, is global. And some teams take winning to a spiritual level.It’s serious for some countries.

Concord, NH police investigating after credit card skimmers found in local stores

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

Police in Concord, New Hampshire are investigating after they said they found skimmers on credit card machines at checkout lanes in two separate stores last month. Concord police shared details about the case on Monday night. Weeks earlier, on Oct. 19, police said workers at the Walmart location on Loudon Road in town told authorities that a loss prevention associate had found a credit card skimmer attached to a self-checkout register. Police said a loss prevention associate at the Market Basket location on Storrs Street later reached out on Oct. 27, saying they had also found a skimmer on an express lane checkout.Concord police on Monday said investigators determined both skimmers were installed by the same two people on Oct. 17.  Asked how someone would get a skimmer onto a machine in a store with other people around, Concord Police Lt. Marc McGonagle responded.“I’m assuming they are practiced,” he told 7NEWS. “They work in a group and they pay attention a...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

Two of the state’s premier schools were on a collision-course for a showdown all season long. At the end of the day, one was able to continue a recent dynasty.Senior captain Madison Eddy sniped the game-winning goal off a corner kick late in the second half, as second-seeded Bishop Feehan clinched a trip to its latest Div. 1 girls soccer final with an epic 1-0 semifinal win over No. 3 Hopkinton at BC High.“It’s always special to get to this game,” said Bishop Feehan coach Phil Silva. “Special to win it, and special to play for a state championship again. I’m really proud of this group.”It is the first trip to a championship for Bishop Feehan (20-1-1) since 2019, when the Shamrocks last captured a state crown. However, earning the win was anything but simple as bitter wind chills encapsulated Morrissey Boulevard.The game itself played out as expected – a rock fight between two undefeated programs, and neither school was able to find twine until the late stages.As the second hal...

As the Chicago Bulls try to find their shot, continuing to convert turnovers can help jump-start the offense

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

Few NBA teams are better than the Chicago Bulls at capitalizing on opponents’ mistakes.Despite trailing their opponents in nearly every category on offense and defense, the Bulls (4-7) are second in the league in points off turnovers, generating 21.8 per game. They’re fourth in opponent turnovers (17.2 per game) and third in steals (9.5).For one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league — averaging 109.8 points to rank 23rd through Monday — this production is essential. Points off turnovers make up 19.9% of the Bulls’ total offense.It’s a rare bright spot in a season so far riddled with bleak statistics and results — including a 110.3 offensive rating, which ranks 20th in the league.“It’s hard to have a really good offensive rating when we shot the ball the way we did,” coach Billy Donovan said after Monday’s 118-109 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. “But the last five games, our offense has been 11th-best.“So ...

Mike Preston’s Ravens mailbag: Answering questions about Keaton Mitchell’s usage, special teams lapses and more | COMMENTARY

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston will answer fans’ questions throughout the Ravens season. Coming off Baltimore’s 33-31 loss in Week 10 to the Cleveland Browns, plenty of questions remain heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.Here’s Preston’s take:(Editor’s note: Questions have been edited for length and clarity.)Sad, sad, sad. The Ravens could easily be 10-0, but fourth-quarter meltdowns have been their calling card. Why do the Ravens fold in close fourth-quarter games, letting inferior opponents march up and down the field? Is it possible the team got caught up in the national press clippings before the game with the Browns? And what happened to Keaton Mitchell in the second half after an impressive first half? Either he was injured or he is in Harbaugh’s “doghouse.” Those are the only reasons I can think of. “It’s just kind of the way it went as far as the play calling” is a very poor ex...

Grape Street redesign would remove parking on busy Little Italy street

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- On any given day, Grape Street from Harbor Drive to Interstate 5 is very busy as cars speed up the one-way street from the San Diego International Airport through Little Italy. And during rush hour, traffic comes to a standstill.Plans to redesign the busy artery, adopted by the San Diego City Council in 2016, hope to address what is expected to be even more traffic with the completion of the Terminal 1 Airport expansion.The design calls for the removal of parking on both sides of the street and increase the number of lanes from three to four. A bike lane would also be installed on the north side of the street. For businesses in Little Italy, the concern is worsening traffic congestion and parking. Tyler Cervenka, manager of the family-owned Filippi’s Pizza Grotto, told FOX 5, “sometimes it gets a little chaotic down here.”Filippi’s is in heart of Little Italy on India Street and now owns its own parking lot. But even with that, it can be tough to acc...

More prevention needed: San Diego shares progress on 10-year homeless plan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:37:05 GMT

SAN DIEGO — On Tuesday, San Diego leaders shared a report on how the city is progressing in its community action plan to address homelessness.The sweeping 10-year homeless plan was unanimously adopted by the San Diego City Council back in October 2019. Its intent was to identify short-term goals, as well as serve as a guide for long-term plans to address the city's homeless crisis.In the update on Tuesday, however, the city said that more people are experiencing homelessness than the capacity that existing programs are able to help despite extensive efforts to expand them — a trend that the report says is made more complicated by a lack of safety nets to prevent someone from falling out of housing in the first place.San Diego leaders have long touted that they have doubled the number of housing and crisis response options, including adding 900 shelter beds and 2,545 emergency shelter beds since 2019. The number of permanent housing units have also more than tripled — increasing from...
