Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 10, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Uncategorized.

By MEAD GRUVER (Associated Press) The human species has topped 8 billion, with longer lifespans offsetting fewer births, but world population growth continues a long-term trend of slowing down, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday. The bureau estimates the global population exceeded the threshold Sept. 26, a precise date the agency said to take with a grain of salt. The United Nations estimated the number was passed 10 months earlier, having declared November 22, 2022, the “Day of 8 Billion,” the Census Bureau pointed out in a statement. The discrepancy is due to countries counting people differently...

After a brief pause of activity in the tropics late in the hurricane season, forecasters are now watching for a possible system to develop in the southwestern Caribbean Sea. The National Hurricane Center said Thursday night that a broad area of low pressure could form by the middle of next week and slowly develop as it moves over the southwestern Caribbean. As of 7 p.m. Thursday, forecasters gave the system low odds of developing in the next two to seven days. There have been 19 named storms this Atlantic hurricane season, seven of which were hurricanes. Three of them were major hurricanes,...

Monsters descended on Israel’s southern border on October 7. While Israeli and international families mourn the horrifying torture and murder of their loved ones, university students blame Israelis for the atrocities committed against them and university presidents have lost their moral compass.

Florida braced to face LSU star QB Jayden Daniels when Gators visit Tiger Stadium

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 9, 2023. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

Florida football’s struggling defense will likely have to face LSU star quarterback Jayden Daniels, after all. After three days in concussion protocol, Daniels was set for a non-contact practice Wednesday, coach Brian Kelly said on the SEC teleconference. Barring any setbacks, Daniels would practice at full capacity Thursday. Kelly did not commit to starting Daniels, the nation’s top-rated passer, over Garrett Nussmeier, the son of former Gators’ offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier. But while younger Nussmeier is capable, Daniels is a Heisman candidate. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound senior leads...

By ANDREW DALTON (AP Entertainment Writer) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood’s actors union reached a tentative deal with studios Wednesday to end its strike, ending months of labor strife that ground the film and television industries to a historic halt. The three-year contract agreement must be approved by votes from the union’s board and its members in the coming days, but the leadership declared that the strike will end at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday. At nearly four months, it was by far the longest strike ever for film and television actors. More than 60,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild-American...

How can UCF contain Oklahoma State’s Ollie Gordon? | Analysis

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 8, 2023. Posted in College Sports, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports, UCF Knights.

There’s little doubt that UCF’s Achilles’ heel has been its run defense. The Knights are No. 127 out of 133 Football Bowl Subdivision teams after allowing 211.8 rushing yards in their nine games. A closer look shows those numbers grow exponentially against Big 12 competition, with the team allowing 259 yards through six games. Much of those yards have come on plays of 10-plus yards in which UCF has allowed 65. Twenty-two of those runs have been explosive plays (20-plus yards). In the win against Cincinnati last week, the Bearcats had five explosive plays, with one coming in the second half....

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 8, 2023. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, News.

A 19-year-old man is facing a second-degree felony charge seven months after he allegedly hit a pedestrian near the Nova Southeastern University campus and drove away before officers arrived, police said. A probable cause affidavit was written in May for the arrest of Vincent Walla, of Staten Island, N.Y., for charges of failing to stop or remain at an accident involving serious bodily injury. The warrant was served Monday, according to court records. At the time of the crash in March, Walla was an NSU student, according to the affidavit. On the evening of March 30, a pedestrian was hit in the...

Winderman’s view: Jaquez, Robinson provide Heat needed support system against Lakers, LeBron

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 7, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, Miami Heat Blog, NBA, Sports.

Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 108-107 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers: – Perhaps it meant more against his hometown team. – But Jaime Jaquez Jr. could not have proven any better that he belonged than a pair of early steals when matched up against LeBron James. – Jaquez continues to inject life into the second unit. – But the first-round pick also is best when active. – Not when parked in a corner as a 3-point spacer. – That’s not who he is. – The expectation might have been Jaquez as a placeholder for Caleb Martin, when Martin pushes past his knee issue. –...

Adebayo paces complete Heat effort, even with heartstopping finish in 108-107 escape over Lakers

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on November 7, 2023. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Heat, NBA, Sports.

MIAMI – This was a night the Miami Heat needed, a night to see the possibilities, even while tested at almost every turn by LeBron James. Perhaps not the finish – as heartstopping as it was – but certainly the entirety of the night. So it was Bam Adebayo in all his versatile glory, closing with his seventh career triple-double, with 22 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists. It was Jimmy Butler emerging from an early-season malaise with 28 on 9-of-15 shooting. It was Tyler Herro judicious with his play even while scoring 22. And it was Duncan Robinson providing ongoing sixth-man spark. Most significantly,...
