Longtime Broward County firefighter and paramedic Eric DeLotta has spent his career rescuing people in trouble and helping to train his colleagues. Earlier this month, it was DeLotta, 57, who needed to be rescued, and now he’s leaning on Broward’s fire-rescue brotherhood for support during his long road to recovery from a debilitating health setback. The man who excelled in a job that requires peak physical conditioning and razor-sharp awareness now finds himself almost totally blind and unable to walk, get out of bed, or even dial a phone on his own, according to his wife, Renee DeLotta....

By LISA MASCARO, MARY CLARE JALONICK, ZEKE MILLER and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy reached an “agreement in principle” to raise the nation’s legal debt ceiling late Saturday as they raced to strike a deal to limit federal spending and avert a potentially disastrous U.S. default. However, the agreement risks angering both Democratic and Republican sides with the concessions made to compromise. Negotiators agreed to some Republican demands for increased work requirements for recipients of food stamps that had sparked...

BOSTON – Observations and other notes of interest from Thursday night’s 110-97 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics: – Erik Spoelstra doesn’t panic. – But he does read the room. – And the situation. – Unemotionally and detached when needed. – This is one of those times. – With all due respect to what Kevin Love has offered since his February arrival. – Heat-Celtics has become a scramble. – A scoring scramble. – And that requires mobility. – Something Caleb Martin offers in overdrive. – And something Love, at 34, lacks. – Before Love’s arrival, Martin was the starter. – With the Heat with...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 25, 2023. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

SUNRISE — The Panthers barely reached the postseason, clinching their playoff berth two days before their regular-season finale. The snuck into the bracket as the No. 8 seed and were the heavy underdog against the record-setting Boston Bruins in the first round. Florida shook off all those low expectations, and now the Panthers are four victories away from raising the Stanley Cup for the first time ever following a 4-3 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, completing a conference-finals sweep at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday and sending Florida to the Final for the first time since 1996....

MIAMI – Observations and other notes of interest from Tuesday night’s 116-99 NBA playoff loss to the Boston Celtics: – The Celtics looked like the Celtics. – Playing defense. – Making 3-pointers. – With Jayson Tatum scoring when needed. – The concern meter still is mitigated by the Heat’s 3-1 series lead. – But Boston finally has regained its stride. – This is a team that came back from 3-2 the previous round against the 76ers. – It would be that again with a Heat loss on Thursday night at TD Garden. – Panic? No. – Urgency? Yes. – Because this constant pushing of Jimmy Butler takes a...

Heat lose air of dominance with 116-99 loss to Celtics, series lead now 3-1

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 24, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – In a nothing-is-simple season, the Miami Heat were unable to push the easy button on Tuesday night against the Boston Celtics. So no sweep by the No. 8 seed in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals, just a 116-99 loss that sends the series to TD Garden for an 8:30 p.m. Game 5 on Thursday. Without a win there, the Heat would return home for an 8:30 p.m. Game 6 Saturday. With the opportunity to earn a week off before the June 1 start of the NBA Finals, with the Denver Nuggets already resting for that series after completing a 4-0 sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers in the West...

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 22, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — The improbable, seemingly impossible, is now one victory away from reality. The team that finished in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and entered the playoffs as the No. 8 seed is now one victory from the NBA Finals. All while doing it in emphatic fashion.
