Bundesliga title race heats up with Dortmund top, not Bayern

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 15:09:31 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — Five matches for a “salad bowl.”The Bundesliga title race looks set to go to the final day of the season with only one point separating league leader Borussia Dortmund and 10-time defending champion Bayern Munich.The winner will receive the “Meisterschale” (champion’s bowl), which is commonly referred to as the “salad bowl” because of its appearance.In recent years, Bayern has usually had the bowl in the bag by now. With the exception of 2019, the title race hasn’t been this close at this stage since 2010, when Louis van Gaal’s Bayern team had just taken a one-point lead over Schalke with a 2-1 win over the then-league leaders in Gelsenkirchen.This time, the Bavarian powerhouse is in the unaccustomed role of being a point behind.Bayern enjoyed a 4-2 win over Dortmund in Munich on April 1 but has been misfiring since. It was one of only two wins Bayern has managed in seven games in all competitions since Thomas Tuchel was appointed coach.The decision to fire his predece...

Sign up for InsideNoVa.com’s free email subscription today.The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved the county’s fiscal 2024 budget Tuesday night, cutting the real estate tax rate to keep the average homeowner’s bill flat and approving major pay raises for county employees.After weeks of public input and budget mark-up sessions, supervisors cut the real estate tax rate to 96.6 cents per $100 of assessed value, down from $1.03 this fiscal year. Due to rising assessments, the average homeowner’s tax bill will be the same.At the same time, the board agreed to increase the so-called “data center tax” on business computer equipment and peripherals — a tax paid by all businesses but disproportionately by data centers — to $2.15 per $100, well above the $1.80 rate called for in an increase schedule approved by the board in 2021.The new fiscal year begins July 1.B...

DeSantis to address Israel amid the country’s tumult and rise of antisemitism back home

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 15:09:31 GMT

(CNN) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will deliver remarks in Jerusalem on Thursday, addressing officials and journalists there at a time of heightened tension between Israel and the United States and amid a rise in antisemitism within his home state.DeSantis is scheduled to speak at an event, “Celebrate the Faces of Israel,” hosted by the Jerusalem Post and the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem. The speech comes during the third stop on DeSantis’ worldwide tour that has already landed him in Japan and South Korea and will end with a visit to the United Kingdom.The event will thrust DeSantis, a likely presidential contender, into Israel’s national tumult, marked by sectarian violence and domestic uprisings over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to overhaul the nation’s judiciary. Those plans, temporarily on hold, led to rising tension between President Joe Biden and Netanyahu.DeSantis has not addressed Netanyahu’s proposal, b...

Scattered Showers, Cool

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 15:09:31 GMT

A copy and paste pattern continues as once again as we start the morning off in the 40s, cap afternoon temps in the 50s to near 60, and once again track some scattered showers. While the theme has been similar the last few days, there have been some subtle day to day differences. Once difference I see today is the chance for pop-up showers is early and farther east. That means inside 495, there will be scattered showers midday-afternoon. With that said, it’s not a washout of an afternoon, just an afternoon that features variable conditions that will include breaks of shower, to brief bursts of rain with passing showers. The pattern finally improves tomorrow as a beauty of a day settles in with partly to mostly sunny skies. Temps run in the low to mid 50s along the immediate cost to the low to mid 60s inland. Great for a round of golf or on the little league fields. Saturday starts dry, but the shower chances do increase in the afternoon from southwest to northeast. Those showe...
