(CNN Español) — El segundo partido del Lionel Messi por la MLS es este miércoles ante Nashville SC, rival al que ya enfrentó en la final de la Leagues Cup y con el que empató 1 a 1, aunque luego en los penales festejó el equipo del Inter Miami.Messi viene con una carga de partidos que llevó al director técnico Gerardo “Tata” Martino a dejarlo en el banco en el último encuentro ante New York Red Bulls, pero se espera que pueda jugar de entrada este miércoles. Su segunda presentación por la MLS será de local, en un DRV PNK Stadium con aforo completo, como ya es costumbre desde que el astro argentino arribó a la Florida, y con un deseo de festejar una victoria como local en la MLS después de 109 días.

Tan solo cinco victorias en 22 partidos para su...

$5.6 million bid for one offshore tract marks modest start for Gulf of Mexico wind energy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:28 GMT

In a first-of-its kind auction for the Gulf of Mexico, a company bid $5.6 million Tuesday to lease federal waters off the Louisiana coast for wind energy generation. It was a modest start for wind energy in the Gulf, which lags the Northeast in offshore wind power development. Only one of three available tracts received bids. And only two companies bid. The winning bidder was RWE Offshore US. The Biden administration said the tract covers more than 102,000 acres (41,200 hectares) with the potential for generation of 1.24 gigawatts, enough wind power to supply 435,000 homes. Analysts cited a variety of factors behind the current, relatively low interest in the lease sale, including inflation and challenges specific to the area such as lower wind speeds and the need for designs that consider hurricane threats. Washington-based research group Clearview Energy Partners said in a Tuesday analysis that Gulf states’ governments lack the needed offshore wind targets or mandates for re...

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell appears to freeze up again, this time at a Kentucky event

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:28 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell appeared to briefly freeze up and was unable to answer a question from a reporter at an event in Kentucky on Wednesday, weeks after he had a similar episode in Washington.According to video from a local news station, the 81-year-old McConnell was asked whether he would run for reelection in 2026. The senator asked the reporter to repeat the question before trailing off and staring straight ahead for about 10 seconds.A woman standing at the front of the room with McConnell asked him whether he heard the question and she repeated it. When McConnell did not answer, she announced to the room that “we’re going to need a minute.” McConnell eventually answered two additional questions — though not the one about a 2026 campaign — and was halting and appeared to have some difficulty speaking. The woman then ended the news conference and McConnell left the room, walking slowly.McConnell’s reaction was similar to the time when he...

Ex-Catholic cardinal McCarrick, age 93, is not fit to stand trial on teen sex abuse charges

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:50:28 GMT

DEDHAM, Mass. (AP) — The once-powerful Roman Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick will not stand trial on charges he sexually assaulted a teenage boy decades ago, as a Massachusetts judge dismissed the case against the 93-year-old on Wednesday because both prosecutors and defense attorneys agree he suffers from dementia.McCarrick, the ex-archbishop of Washington, D.C., was defrocked by Pope Francis in 2019 after an internal Vatican investigation determined he sexually molested adults as well as children. The McCarrick scandal created a crisis of credibility for the church, primarily because there was evidence Vatican and U.S. church leaders knew he slept with seminarians but turned a blind eye as McCarrick rose to the top of the U.S. church as an adept fundraiser who advised three popes.During Wednesday’s hearing, Dr. Kerry Nelligan, a psychologist hired by the prosecution, said she found significant deficits in McCarrick’s memory during...
