Both coaches also received red cards in a chaotic last few minutes.Monza’s lack of goals is a problem for a club already punching above its weight. The club has performed creditably well in its one and half seasons in the top tier but Friday’s game was the first time in its Serie A history that it has failed to hit the net in three consecutive matches. It remains in 11th place.Napoli’s barren run, meanwhile, has seen it win just 28 points from a possible 54. It was in seventh place.Goals were not much easier to come by in Florence but a late header from defender Lucas Ranieri — his first of the league season — earned a 1-0 win against Torino.The win extended Fiorentina’s unb...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:14 GMT

The feds are shellin’ out millions of dollars to the Bay State for new lobster fishing gear in the hopes of protecting North Atlantic right whales.The Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Marine Fisheries on Friday announced that it will receive more than $4.6 million from a congressional appropriation to boost DMF’s conservation program for the endangered North Atlantic right whale.DMF will use part of this funding from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to provide new lobster fishing gear that’s designed to protect right whales.Massachusetts near-shore waters host up to 80% of the total population of North Atlantic right whales in late winter and early spring — as the whales migrate north and feed in the nutrient-rich waters of Cape Cod Bay and Massachusetts Bay.

By JT Genter | NerdWalletAlthough U.S. airlines this year hadn’t experienced the kinds of mass cancellations and operational breakdowns that plagued the industry in 2022, carriers continued to struggle.
