Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:55:52 GMT

(CNN) — Un niño de 12 años de Milwaukee podría ir a la cárcel el resto de su vida tras ser acusado de matar a un adulto para robarle sus armas. La policía afirma que el acusado urdió el plan después de que la víctima, Brandon Felton, de 34 años, se negara a venderle sus armas, entre las que se encontraba un rifle AR-15.El acusado, cuyo nombre no se ha revelado debido a su edad, fue vinculado al caso después de que la policía encontrara un recibo de pizza de la noche del asesinato que había sido encargado utilizando el teléfono móvil del niño, según una denuncia penal. Los investigadores dicen que el niño hizo una serie de declaraciones incoherentes a la policía antes de reconocer que estaba allí en el momento del asesinato, pero dijo que sólo estaba allí para jugar a los videojuegos y culpó del homicidio a otra persona.Sin embargo, la policía dijo que los textos obtenidos del teléfono del chico mediante una orden de registro mostraban que estaba haciendo planes con otras dos p...

Edmunds: BMW-X1 vs Mercedes-Benz GLB

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:55:52 GMT

Extra- small luxury SUVs are a great way to cruise around in luxury without paying an excessive amount. As an example, check out the Mercedes-Benz GLB. It has been one of Edmunds’ top performers in its class since it was introduced in 2020. It sports distinctive boxy styling, excellent technology and a comfortable ride. But in today’s highly competitive market, there’s always a new model aiming for the top spot. The GLB’s main rival, the BMW X1, was redesigned for 2023. The little Bimmer received updated styling, a roomier interior and many of BMW’s top-notch technology features. Which one is the better buy? Edmunds’ experts compared them to find out. POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines power both luxury SUVs. The X1’s 241-horsepower powerplant is not only more powerful than the GLB’s 221-horsepower mill, but it’s also more fuel-efficient. With all-wheel drive, the X1 delivers an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in combined city/highway driving, 3 more than the a...

De la Fuente under pressure early as Spain’s new coach

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:55:52 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Two games in, and the Luis de la Fuente era in Spain is already being questioned.A lackluster win and a disappointing loss were enough to put the new coach under the spotlight.Spain needed two late goals in a hard-fought 3-0 win over Norway to open its qualifying campaign for the 2024 European Championship on Saturday, then fell 2-0 at Scotland on Tuesday after another poor performance.De la Fuente’s Spain showed some of the same problems from the past — lots of possession and few scoring chances — leaving the coach under pressure to show some significant improvement the next time the team plays in June in the Final Four of the Nations League.“It was a painful loss,” De la Fuente said after the Scotland match. “Analyzing the game now, we feel like we did enough good things to deserve a different result, but there is a lot to improve.”The 61-year-old De la Fuente replaced Luis Enrique after the team’s elimination by Morocco in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar. ...

May Madness: This March, FAU coach has Owls on cusp of title

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:55:52 GMT

Dusty May’s March Madness run with FAU likely was one few saw coming.May had, to be fair, not much better than minimal name recognition when he took the Florida Atlantic job five years ago. That wasn’t the case with almost all the other FAU coaches over the years, names like Mike Jarvis and Matt Doherty and Michael Curry and Sidney Green and Rex Walters.Curry had been an NBA coach and played for years in the league. Green was an NBA lottery pick. Doherty coached at North Carolina, his alma mater, and Notre Dame. Jarvis had been at three other schools and coached a high schooler named Patrick Ewing. Walters was a Big 8 star at Kansas and played in the NBA.And their FAU resumes don’t compare — some don’t come even close — to what May has done.A school that used to be known for coaches looking to rebound now has a team headed to the Final Four, led by a coach whose claim to fame when he entered coaching was that he was a student manager for Bob Knight at Indiana.“I think Coach Ma...
