VALATIE, NY (NEWS10) -- If you were looking to describe Ichabod Crane's Emma Scheitinger, one word would rise above the rest: winner. That's just how she ended her career with the Riders softball team. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! "If you look at her five year career she's lost two games since 2019," said Ichabod Crane softball coach Tracy Nytransky. "I don't think a lot of people can say that."With just two career varsity softball losses, it was fitting that Emma Scheitinger's last game with Ichabod Crane was a state championship victory, as the Riders repeated in Class C as back to back state champs. "It doesn't get any better," said Scheitinger. "It feels like we've never done it before. We knew we have obviously but the feeling is all brand new again. After the celebration I fee like my adrenaline just kind of kicked out and all of the feelings came back. It was good to end on a win."Scheitinger helped the Riders win...

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) — The mascot for next year’s European Championship in Germany will be a teddy bear — and this time it won’t be naked from the waist down.The mascot made its first appearance Tuesday morning by surprising children at a primary school in Gelsenkirchen, where it was set to appear again later before the team’s friendly game against Colombia.The large-headed mascot with big eyes has shorts — in contrast to the 2006 World Cup mascot, a lion named “Goleo” that was widely ridiculed for not having pants.The as-yet unnamed teddy bear also has a soccer jersey, socks and boots. Fans were to help name it by choosing between Albärt, Bärnardo, Bärnheart or Herzi von Bär. “Bär” is the German word for bear.“As a parent, I know how important it is to stimulate children’s imagination,” Euro 2024 tournament director Philipp Lahm said. “With the launch of our tournament mascot, we hope to create a fun and likeable character that will inspire them to enjoy playing ...

Former employee living in S. Florida shares insights on submersible disappearance, highlights safety concerns

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:55 GMT

South Florida resident Eric Karman, a former employee of the underwater tourism company at the center of the recent submersible disappearance, has come forward to express his reaction and shed light on the safety procedures within the industry. Karman, who now ventures out to the water on a boat, used to pilot a research-based Ocean Gate submarine back in 2010. He reflected on the time he spent with the company. “If it wasn’t for them moving back to Washington, I wouldn’t have ever left,” he said, “But I did know what I was signing up for, dove pretty deep, so I knew the dangers associated with that.”A different submersible has become the focus of a massive international search effort. Karman emphasized the significant difference in diving depths between his former vessel and the one currently missing. “Our depth ceiling was 1500 feet,” he recalled. “They’re diving at deeper depths on the Titanic, I believe it’s 12,00...

NASA spacecraft captures image of ghostly lightning on Jupiter

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:09:55 GMT

(CNN) — A NASA spacecraft captured the eerie glow of lightning inside a swirling vortex on Jupiter.The green lightning bolt was seen inside one of the many vortices that cluster near Jupiter’s north pole.Scientists are still trying to understand many facets of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, including its massive storms and how lightning and lightning-like events occur on the gas giant.Lightning bolts originate from water clouds on Earth, and most of the strikes occur near the equator. But on Jupiter, the strikes emerge from clouds that are the result of ammonia and water, and they occur most frequently near the planet’s poles.The Juno spacecraft, which first arrived to observe Jupiter and its moons in 2016, captured the event during its 31st close flyby of the gas giant on December 30, 2020. The mission was about 19,900 miles (32,000 kilometers) above the cloud tops when it took the image.Using raw data from the spacecraft’s JunoCam instrument, citizen scientist Ke...
