No dream return for Sociedad in Champions League as Martínez scores late to rescue draw for Inter

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:42:49 GMT

SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (AP) — Lautaro Martínez’s scoring streak continued as he helped Inter Milan snatch a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on Wednesday and prevent what would have been a dream return to the Champions League for the Spanish side.Brais Méndez’s early goal looked set to see Sociedad mark its first match back among Europe’s elite in a decade with an impressive win over last season’s runner-up.And the 36,000 Sociedad fans in the stands were reveling in the occasion as their team played with relentless intensity, excitement and eagerness to dominate its more illustrious opponent. But in the end it was made to pay for its profligacy as Martínez pounced with three minutes remaining, netting his sixth goal of the fledgling season.“I’m not satisfied because we did not play well, we didn’t do what we had planned,” Martínez told Amazon Prime. “We started the first half badly, we were in a lot of difficulties so we have to improve a lot.“It was important not to lose because the group w...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:42:49 GMT

In the summer of 2021, some teachers in Loudoun County, Virginia, reported major gaps in students’ skills after pandemic-induced school closures.At the same time, a significant amount of research detailing the benefits of the Science of Reading, a literacy approach that emphasizes phonics, was released.Before the 2021-22 school year started, first grade teachers at Catoctin Elementary School in Leesburg spent hours collaborating to determine how to best meet students’ needs, according to Jennifer Hartmann, the school-based instructional facilitator, and created a plan for how to approach teaching reading.Kindergarten, first and second grade teachers were “astounded” by the progress students had made after the switch to a phonics program, Hartmann said. Last spring, the school reported a 15% decrease in students flagged by the county’s diagnostic literacy assessment, compared to fall 2021.Now, all Loudoun County elementary schools are using University of...

ANÁLISIS | La contraofensiva de Ucrania puede ser dolorosa. Pero su éxito es vital para la seguridad europea

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 11:42:49 GMT

(CNN) —  En los sótanos de Orikhiv, las tropas ucranianas no se mueven de los muros. Aunque están bajo tierra, las potentes bombas rusas que caen a diario podrían derrumbar todo lo que hay sobre ellos, por lo que los bordes de su mundo subterráneo son más seguros.Piensa en este riesgo, y en los hombres y mujeres que lo soportan cada noche, cuando oigas hablar de los avances de la contraofensiva ucraniana. Es lenta, peligrosa, sangrienta y más dura de lo que nadie esperaba. Pero no nos equivoquemos: quizá sea el momento más importante para la seguridad europea desde la caída del Muro de Berlín, o incluso desde 1945.Las fuerzas ucranianas no están ni de lejos donde esperaban estar a medida que se acerca el otoño boreal. Los meses de verano en torno a Robotyne, al sur de Orikhiv, y al norte de Mariúpol, han estado marcados por un espantoso arrastrarse sobre hectáreas de campos minados, con las tropas luchando durante semanas por minúsculos asentamientos que pueden contarse en cal...

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — The trial of two Aurora police officers opened Wednesday in the killing of Elijah McClain, a Black man put in a neck hold and injected with a powerful sedative whose 2019 death later became a rallying cry for nationwide protests and spurred police reform in Colorado.It's the first of several trials stemming from the death of McClain, and lawyers for the two sides are expected to paint contrasting pictures of the deadly struggle between the officers and the 23-year-old massage therapist. McClain was stopped by police in the city of Aurora while walking home from a convenience store carrying only a plastic bag and his phone. Man arrested in deadly double shooting on Welton Street One question jurors could be asked to decide is whether it was lawful for officers Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt to detain and use force against McClain, who a 911 caller reported as suspicious. If prosecutors can convince jurors the stop was unjustified, that would undermine any...
