Three-goal second period gives Bruins Game 1 win over Panthers

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 7, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

SUNRISE — Last time the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers faced off in the postseason, Florida was the scrappy underdog — the eighth seed who came back from a 3-1 deficit to send the Bruins — who notched a record-setting 135 points in the regular season — home earlier than anticipated. This season, the Panthers were the No. 3 team in the Eastern Conference, one spot ahead of Boston. That made no difference on the ice Monday as the Bruins started this series the way they began last year’s — with a series-opening victory. Boston took a series lead with a 5-1 win at Amerant Bank Arena in...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 7, 2024. Posted in Education, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

Judith Marte is retiring early as deputy superintendent of operations for Broward Schools, the latest in a string of high-profile departures from the school district. Marte, who has worked for the district during two stints since 2017, sent a letter to Interim Superintendent Howard Hepburn on Monday saying she planned to retire June 30. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our students, families and community,” Marte wrote Hepburn in a letter dated Monday. “It has been an honor to serve alongside such talented colleagues, and a privilege to lead an amazing group of hardworking...

By MICHAEL WAGAMAN (Associated Press) OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Nick Gordon had four hits, including his first home run in three weeks, and the Miami Marlins beat the Athletics 12-3 to end Oakland’s six-game winning streak Sunday. Josh Bell had a pair of RBI singles and Jonah Bride drove in two runs as the Marlins won for the third time in 12 games and avoided a series sweep. Miami got 14 hits and had eight players with at least one RBI, a stark difference from a day earlier when the Marlins’ bats were mostly muffled in a 20-4 loss to the A’s. “Super big,” Gordon said. “After last night, to...

Lando Norris earns 1st career F1 victory by ending Verstappen’s dominance at Miami

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 6, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

By JENNA FRYER (AP Auto Racing Writer) MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Lando Norris should take a lesson from his last big party and perhaps tone down the celebration for his first career Formula 1 victory. His reaction following the Sunday victory in the Miami Grand Prix showed the British driver probably doesn’t plan to miss a beat. “Tonight’s going to be a great time,” Norris promised. “I’m just really proud. A lot of people, I guess, doubted me along the way. I’ve made a lot of mistakes over my last five years, my short career, but today we put it all together so this is all for the...

Miami Grand Prix delivers on star power and race drama, and, shockingly, not in that order

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 6, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

MIAMI GARDENS – A sun-splashed weekend of fun, star-gazing and Formula One racing culminated Sunday in a stunning finish at the Miami Grand Prix. In a F1 shocker, Lando Norris, the 24-year-old British-Belgian driver for McLaren, won Miami Grand Prix 2024 at the International Miami Autodrome (Hard Rock Stadium) for his first-ever title. “What a race,” Norris said. “Finally, I managed to do it; I did for my whole team.” And in showing there’s something for everyone at this Miami event, there was even some pre-race news for Miami Dolphins fans. It was presumed that Max Verstappen, the...

FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi scored a goal and had five assists as Inter Miami trounced the New York Red Bulls with the club-record six goals on Saturday night.

Dave Hyde: No-risk move for Odell Beckham Jr. gives Dolphins some good Plan B options

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 4, 2024. Posted in Dave Hyde columns, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

Say this for Odell Beckham Jr.: He makes everything more interesting. He gives this Miami Dolphins offense added options. He doesn’t have the electricity of his New York Giants youth. Nor does he come with the burdened payday he had last year in Baltimore. But his no-risk signing Friday with the Dolphins provides some interesting thoughts toward solving their primary problems last season: 1. Having a Plan B against good defenses. 2. Managing Tyreek Hill’s workload so he’s healthy in December and January. There’s Beckham Jr.’s role. There’s how he succeeds as a third receiver. There’s what...

DeSantis opposes plan to move Florida guard unit to Space Force

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 4, 2024. Posted in Florida News, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday objected to a proposal by the U.S. Air Force that would transfer a Florida Air National Guard squadron to the U.S. Space Force. DeSantis sent a letter to leaders of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, the U.S. House Armed Services Committee and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and said such proposals need the approval of governors. “If adopted, the proposal would flout more than a century of precedent and undermine federal law protections for state control of their National Guard,” DeSantis wrote. The Air Force’s legislative proposal has raised questions...

Winderman’s view: A sobering, empty feeling at the end for Heat, but not unexpected

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

BOSTON — Observations and other notes of interest from Wednesday night’s 118-84 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics: – So what did we learn about the 2023-24 Heat? – Not nearly enough. – If anything. – Be it because of Jimmy Butler’s indifference to the regular season. – Or be it because of the injury-depleted state of the roster in the playoffs. – Yes, there were a few feel-good stories along the way, from the development of Jaime Jaquez Jr. to the emergence of Nikola Jovic. – But in the end? Only questions. – And an empty feeling. – What Boston showed is that no matter the state of...

Heat season ends with a shorthanded whimper in 118-84 loss in Boston

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

BOSTON – No, they didn’t have enough. No, there wasn’t a next man up. And perhaps most significantly, there was no Playoff Jimmy. So, in the end, a playoff crash and burn for the Miami Heat, their season coming to an end with Wednesday night’s 118-84 loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. In retrospect, coming away even with their single win in the best-of-seven opening-round Eastern Conference playoff series probably was a degree of overachievement. “We’re not going to put this on the fact that we had some injuries,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “Let’s not take anything away from...
