State-owned Citizens Property Insurance Corp. may continue to process more than 400 claims through an alternative dispute system that critics say produces rulings favorable to the insurer. A circuit judge from Leon County, Jonathan Sjostrom, signed an order on Friday saying that state law authorizes the company to send pending lawsuits to the Department of Administrative Hearings rather than the court system. The ruling requires DOAH to move forward on more than 400 pending arbitration cases... Read More

CORAL GABLES — The Miami Hurricanes may have to go without key starter Keionte Scott for the remainder of the season, coach Mario Cristobal said Monday. Scott, who missed UM’s win over N.C. State with an apparent foot injury, may return this season, but Cristobal said it does not appear likely. “I don’t know,” Cristobal said Monday. “Like we mentioned, it is a more significant injury. You certainly hope and pray for (him to come back). But it doesn’t look like it’s very... Read More

A controversial redesign of Fort Lauderdale’s Galleria mall that calls for nine 30-story towers can move forward as planned by the developer, according to the state. A recent opinion from the Office of the Attorney General says the developer can indeed build to a height of 300 feet and include plans for residential housing and a hotel. Critics have objected to the height and density of the Live Local project. “I’m not surprised by the decision,” Commissioner Steve Glassman said on... Read More

Out on his farm in Dundee Township, Cliff McConville sees geese landing in the fields where his turkeys and chickens graze. It’s a sight that often unnerves poultry producers, as migratory waterfowl carry and spread a highly infectious strain of bird flu that has been resurging in the United States for the last three years. So far this year, McConville’s farm and most turkey farms in Illinois — of which there are more than 400 — have not been affected by the disease. Eight farms in... Read More

OXFORD, Miss.  — When DJ Lagway entered the media room after Saturday’s 34-24 loss at No. 6 Ole Miss, the quarterback looked dejected. A gray Gators beanie was pulled almost down to his eyebrows, and Lagway, who completed 16 of 31 with one touchdown and one interception, shrank in his chair, staring at the floor as linebacker Myles Graham took the majority of the questions.​ Even when Lagway was asked, he murmured his responses in a monotone voice, staring at the bricks on the...

JACKSONVILLE — Alex Condon scored 19 points, Thomas Haugh added 17 and No. 10 Florida held on to beat rival Miami 82-68 on Sunday night. Condon and fellow big man Rueben Chinyelu fouled out with more than five minutes to play, but the Gators (3-1) had enough cushion to close it out with the two starters on the bench. It didn’t help that backup center Micah Handlogten took a shot to the head in the first half and did not return. Chinyelu finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds for the... Read More

For the second consecutive week, I couldn’t be happier for the Miami Dolphins’ players. Those guys earned Sunday’s gritty, hard-fought 16-13 overtime victory against the Washington Commanders in Madrid, one week after earning an unlikely 30-13 win over the Buffalo Bills, through sweat, commitment and belief. I’ve always pointed out that this Dolphins team has an unbreakable fighting spirit. I admire that quality. These guys won’t quit, they won’t tank, and they won’t give up.... Read More
