Use a former hotel to serve as temporary housing. Build small cottage homes, or even use shipping containers. Designate “safe parking lots,” where people living in their cars could park. These and many more ideas to help the homeless were raised for consideration in Palm Beach County on Tuesday as county officials brainstormed for much-needed solutions. Homelessness has remained a key issue ahead of a new state law kicking in. The law, which takes effect Oct. 1, will ban Florida’s homeless from sleeping in public spaces such as in parks, bus stops, on the beach and on sidewalks. “We as a...

Heat add Nassir Little in unanticipated move to 15th standard contract

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on September 24, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI — Instead of remaining at 14 players under standard contract for training camp, a total that had been expected due to the team’s position hard against the highly punitive second apron of the NBA luxury tax, the Miami Heat have reached agreement with forward Nassir Little on such a deal, the South Florida Sun Sentinel has confirmed. Ineligible for a two-way contract due to his five seasons of NBA tenure, the agreement with the No. 25 pick in the 2019 NBA draft out of North Carolina is believed to be a non-guaranteed one-year contract for the veteran minimum. While a seasonlong...

Hyde10: QB problems, defense’s first quarter, Titans loom again — 10 thoughts on Dolphins’ 24-3 loss at Seattle

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on September 23, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

There’s bad. There’s ugly. And there’s Seattle 24, Dolphins 3 on Sunday. The team knew it needed help with its starting quarterback out. But help never materialized until Seattle had built the kind of early, double-digit lead every opponent has this season. Here are 10 thoughts on the game: 1. The prime problem Sunday wasn’t Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion. It was the mega-drop in talent to Skylar Thompson. He was effectively given this start last winter when the Dolphins didn’t sign a better backup. Sure, he beat out Mike White. But there were growing questions in preseason. Still, nothing...

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Billy Napier didn’t sound like a coach who’s days at Florida are numbered. Napier was ready to get to work during the bye week as the Gators prepare for an Oct. 5 visit from UCF (3-0). A 45-28 win Saturday at Mississippi State was a start, but much ground remains to make up. “It’s good to win a game like that and go into the open date,” Napier said. “I told him in the locker room, Look, we’re going to rest and recover, but when you show up Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week, we’re working. “We have work to do to improve, and we’ve got to put all of our heads...

TAMPA — The Hurricanes took the Bulls‘ best punch on Saturday night, and they left Raymond James Stadium with their record unscathed. After a tug-of-war in the first half, No. 8 Miami (4-0) pulled away in the second half and notched a 50-15 win over upstart USF (2-2), which has proven its mettle in closely fought games against both UM and Alabama. The Hurricanes are 6-1 all-time against the Bulls. South Florida was arguably Miami’s toughest test through the first third of the season, taking the lead from Miami twice in the first half. But the Hurricanes battled back both times before...

Dave Hyde: Geno Smith, in his winning second act, takes on hometown Dolphins

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on September 21, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Dolphins, NFL, Sports.

Damon Cogdell hesitates to say it. “I don’t want to tell people, ‘I told you so,’” he says. The former Miramar High coach remembers saying to be patient more than a decade ago when his quarterback, Geno Smith, struggled in his opening NFL act. He said for everyone to wait, just wait, when Smith then played in just five games in six years with four teams. And now … “I told everyone so,’’ he says. Two quarterbacks come with stories to appreciate Sunday. The Miami Dolphins’ Skylar Thompson is writing his first act in the NFL, trying to step from the shadows in replacing starter Tua Tagovailoa...

It was almost time for happy hour, but the crowd was told there wasn’t much time. And the 75 or so people — including a member of Congress and three east Broward mayors — packed into the side room of a restaurant and bar Friday afternoon weren’t there for end-of-the-week libations. They were all about the work, specifically political outreach to voters between now and Election Day. With a little more than six weeks until Nov. 5, and with voting-by-mail about to begin, they were pushed to do more than hang out with other Democrats at the end of the work day. “These events are wonderful, and...

MIAMI — Shohei Ohtani became the first major league player to exceed 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season during the most spectacular game of a history-making career for the Los Angeles Dodgers star, going deep three times and swiping two bags on Thursday against the Miami Marlins.
