Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored another brace Saturday but Bayern Munich had to endure a scare before moving top of the Bundesliga with a 4-2 win over promoted Heidenheim.Kane, who scored twice in the Champions League on Wednesday and already had a record-equaling 15 goals in his first 10 German league games, needed just 14 minutes against Heidenheim to grab his 16th, then followed up with his 17th before halftime.“I had a couple in the second half I probably should have finished,” Kane said. “The two I scored were probably harder than the two I missed. But that’s football sometimes, that’s the way it goes. I’m just enjoying playing with this team.”Kane scored with his first real contribution to the game, taking Leroy Sané’s pass amid several defenders with his back to goal, then turning to unleash a shot inside the right post with his right boot.The England captain scored his second before the break with a header to Sané’s corner.But Kane missed two good chances in the second half ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

Over the past week, state agencies and small businesses across Maryland lit up with green lights to show their support for Maryland’s veterans as part of Operation Green Light, a national campaign to recognize veterans and provide educational opportunities highlighting the needs and well-being of those who served in the U.S. military.Hospitals and health care facilities across the state are also participating in the lighting campaign to raise awareness for the medical and mental health needs of veterans, which can be different from the general population.“Veterans, as a result of their serving our nation, have been exposed to different stressors than our civilian population,” according to Dr. David Marcozzi, chief clinical officer for the University of Maryland Medical Center.Operation Green Light runs from Nov. 6 through Nov. 12, and the University of Maryland Medical System health care facilities are participating this week, as well as Maryland’s VA Marylan...

Bo MacCormack, BB&N roll over host Lawrence Academy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

GROTON — In Saturday’s game at Independent School League rival Lawrence Academy, BB&N showed from the very outset that the Knights had a little something extra.Bo MacCormack returned the opening kick for a touchdown, and BB&N dominated every facet in a 52-21 win over the host Spartans.BB&N improved to 6-2 and looks like a lock to make a NEPSAC bowl. Lawrence fell to 6-2, but a NEPSAC bowl is not out of the question for the Spartans, either.That kick return set the tone. MacCormack bobbled it a little, then picked it up, broke a few tackles, and rumbled for a 100-yard touchdown. BB&N led 42-14 at halftime, and had a complete performance.“To be honest with you, I just dropped the ball at first,” MacCormack said. “I was kind of like, whatever. I picked it up. I’ve got to make something happen. I made a cut on one kid, then I made a stiff arm on another kid. There was some room out on the LA sideline. Just booked it out there, and there was ...

Div. 2 cross country: Marblehead sophomore runs down title

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

WRENTHAM — Marri O’Connell proved at Saturday’s Div. 2 State cross country Championships that she has mastered the Wrentham Developmental Center’s 5K layout.Racing in chilly conditions on the rolling, sun-splashed course, the Marblehead sophomore built a 50-yard lead with a 5:33 opening mile and was never challenged. She was alone at 2-miles (11:38) and cruised home for an easy 18-minute, 11-second win in the Div. 2A event. The race did lack the early drama of her race at the Kelley Invitational where she lost a shoe, but put it on quickly and ran away from the field for the win.Her shoes were double-knotted Saturday as she bolted into the lead 100 yards in. “I felt a little off,” O’Connell said. “I wanted to get out fast because of the narrow opening.”Walpole’s Ila Zollo also broke 19-minutes with her 18:52.8 second-place finish. Minnechaug’s Kay Dickinson copped the bronze medal in 19:23.7. Adeline Lawlor’s 10th-pla...

Massachusetts Senate to press for prescription drug cost relief

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

Patients would pay no more than $25 for certain name-brand medications to treat some chronic illnesses and face no costs whatsoever for similar generic options under the latest prescription drug legislation set to emerge in the Senate.Senate Democrats plan to release a revived version of a drug pricing reform bill they have approved in two straight lawmaking sessions without securing passage in the House, the News Service has learned.This time around, the legislation will feature new language aimed at reducing or eliminating cost burdens for Bay Staters with conditions like heart disease, asthma and diabetes, a push Senate President Karen Spilka forecast when she signaled plans to bring the bill to the floor before Thanksgiving.Sen. Cindy Friedman, the architect of the bill, said the latest addition would cap out-of-pocket costs for some widely used medications at $25 for name-brand versions and at $0 for generic alternatives.“We don’t know the specific drug because we&#...

Massachusetts rent control ballot campaign fails, organizer says

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:56 GMT

A campaign to place a rent control question on the 2024 ballot has failed, as it faced a near impossible task of collecting the required amount of signatures within the next two weeks.The initiative had collected roughly 10,175 signatures over the past six weeks, far short of the 74,574 required by Nov. 22 for the question to advance in the process, according to state Rep. Mike Connolly, who organized the effort.The Cambridge Democrat announced the development on Friday night, much to the delight of groups who argued that the measure shouldn’t be placed on the ballot.The proposal looked to allow municipalities to regulate residential evictions, rents and fees, broker fees, and the removal of housing units from the rental market.Connolly said his group, of more than 500 elected officials, individuals and organizations, suggested it band together with Homes for All Massachusetts, a statewide housing justice coalition, to collect the required signatures and then decide how the question...
