The Broward County Commission may have voted this week to trim its share of the annual property tax rate, but local leaders don’t deserve all the credit for tax relief, according to Florida’s chief financial officer. That credit, said CFO Blaise Ingoglia, goes to the state — specifically to Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Florida DOGE effort. In the name of cutting wasteful spending to provide tax relief for residents, a team with the state’s Department of Governmental Efficiency descended... Read More

Sugar-sweetened beverages and alcoholic drinks are associated with a higher risk of hair loss, according to research published in Nutrition and Health, which analyzed 17 studies on diet and hair. “When we consume high amounts of sugar, we get an insulin spike that promotes inflammation and can...

It’s fine and dandy for Tua Tagovailoa to stand up afterward and quarterback-splain the coverage and the intent on that godforsaken pass. It’s odder to also say, as he did, how he’d make that pass, “10 out of 10 times” and laud Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard for intercepting the ball thrown right at him. But what the Miami Dolphins quarterback needed to say late Thursday night was and didn’t was, “I blew it.” Or, “I cost us the chance to win that one.” Or even just,... Read More

One of the final songs Fort Lauderdale singer-songwriter Adam David performed on the live finale of NBC hit “The Voice” was the searing Brandon Lake anthem “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” a story of darkness and redemption that left the TV audience dazzled and David emotionally drained. “That song, man, I resonated with so deeply, with the choir behind me … I could cry talking about it. When I got off stage … I had to go sit in a room for a minute. And I just kind of bawled,” says... Read More

Today is Friday, Sept. 19, the 262nd day of 2025. There are 103 days left in the year. Today in history: On Sept. 19, 1988, Olympic diver Greg Louganis suffered a concussion after striking his head on the diving board during the preliminary round of the 3-meter springboard diving competition at the Seoul Summer Games; Louganis would recover from the injury and win a gold medal in the event the following day.

ORCHARD PARK, NY — One of the biggest tests for the Dolphins’ season and the coach Mike McDaniel era took place Thursday night at Highmark Stadium when Miami visited Buffalo.

But although they were 0-4 at Buffalo in the McDaniel era, three of those... Read More
