By GABRIELA SÁ PESSOA and MAURICIO SAVARESE SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police have indicted former President Jair Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association in connection with undeclared diamonds the far-right leader received from Saudi Arabia during his time in office, according to a source with knowledge of the accusations.

Cole Swider not sweating higher math as he battles for Heat spot in summer league

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 5, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — This is about as simple as math gets in the NBA: — The league allows teams to have up to three players under two-way contracts at a time. — The Heat have three players already under such contracts at the moment. — Forward Cole Swider is coming off a two-way contract and has a qualifying offer in place for another Heat two-way contact, even with a no-vacancy sign out when it comes to such a Heat opportunity. So, no, the math doesn’t feel quite right, with the Heat essentially extending a promissory note to the second-year shooting specialist for something that doesn’t quite exist at...

By HILLEL ITALIE NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Towne, the Oscar-winning screenplay writer of “Shampoo,” “The Last Detail” and other acclaimed films whose work on “Chinatown” became a model of the art form and helped define the jaded allure of his native Los Angeles, has died. He was 89. Towne died Monday surrounded by family at his home in Los Angeles, said publicist Carri McClure. She declined to comment on any cause of death. In an industry which gave birth to rueful jokes about the writer’s status, Towne for a time held prestige comparable to the actors and directors he worked with. Through...

By MICHAEL R. SISAK and JAKE OFFENHARTZ NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked the New York judge who presided over his hush money trial to set aside his conviction and delay his sentencing, scheduled for next week.

The lawyers argue that the Supreme Court’s decision confirmed a position the...

Heat bring back Dru Smith on two-way contract; Delon Wright leaves for Bucks

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on July 2, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Amid the major NBA free-agency splashes around the NBA on Monday that included Paul George going to the Philadelphia 76ers, Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks and Chris Paul to the San Antonio Spurs, the Miami Heat sweated through the small stuff. That included losing veteran point guard Delon Wright to the Milwaukee Bucks and formally announcing the two-way contract of undrafted Florida guard Zyon Pullin, with similar expectations of finalizing a two-way deal with undrafted Arizona forward Keshad Johnson. Then, in somewhat of an expected twist, the Heat announced that guard Dru...
