By JAKE OFFENHARTZ and MICHAEL R. SISAK NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ federal corruption trial will begin next April, a judge ruled Friday, right in the thick of his promised reelection campaign. U.S. District Judge Dale E. Ho set the trial date as Adams returned to Manhattan federal court for a hearing on his bid to eliminate a key charge in the indictment that threatens his political future. Ho said he’s confident the April 21, 2025, date will hold, “assuming... Read More

Florida voter turnout hits 50%, with Republicans running well ahead of Democrats
Florida turnout in the presidential election hit 50% of registered voters on Friday, with about 7 million votes cast. Republicans are outvoting Democrats. If that trend holds through the final day of voting on Tuesday, that portends Florida victories for former President Donald Trump and U.S. Sen. Rick Scott. As of early afternoon Friday, Republicans had cast 3.01 million mail and in-person early voting ballots — 808,000 more than the 2.29 million votes cast by Democrats. Republicans have... Read More
Slimy substance on soda-gun holster & a nose tissue incident : 8 South Florida restaurants & 1 food truck shut
More than 80 rodent droppings, a “slime-like substance” on a soda-gun holster, and an employee seen wiping his nose with a tissue and continuing to prepare food were among the violations that forced the state to temporarily shut nine South Florida eateries last week. The South Florida Sun Sentinel typically highlights restaurant inspections conducted by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation in Broward and Palm Beach counties. We cull through inspections that... Read More
Chris Perkins: Dolphins should stand pat at Tuesday’s trade deadline, focus on final title run in 2025
MIAMI GARDENS — Two years ago the Dolphins made a dramatic move at the trade deadline. They acquired edge rusher Bradley Chubb from Denver in a high-profile move. Don’t look for similar results from the Dolphins by Tuesday’s 4 p.m. trade deadline. The Dolphins (2-5) shouldn’t be buyers at the trade deadline even if, by some miracle, they win at Buffalo on Sunday. Similarly, I don’t think the Dolphins should be sellers at the trade deadline if they lose at Buffalo and fall to a... Read More
World-premiere music, inspired by Parkland shooting, lets youth speak
After 17 people were killed at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 2018 — the deadliest mass shooting at a U.S. high school — producer Portia Kamons and composer Ron Ramin felt called to action. “We set out to create something to soothe America’s collective grief,” Kamons said, “but as we met the young people leading the charge for meaningful change, we chose to make this project about them.” The result was “Seventeen,” a 25-minute musical work in four parts...

ASK IRA: Do the Heat need to take two more often when it comes to their offensive identity?
Q: Wasn’t this the year they fixed the offense? You wrote they were 29th in pace, but they’re also 27th in scoring, 25th in field-goal percentage. That’s worse than last year. – Eddie. A: But you’re also talking small-sample-size theater, just four games in. Still, as the slow pace shows, this team in many ways is what it is, that you can’t teach a returning roster new tricks. At this point, it would seem to make more sense to allow Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler to get back in... Read More
Daily Horoscope for November 01, 2024
General Daily Insight for November 01, 2024 A reasonable amount of transformation may sound like an oxymoron, but that’s the highlight of today. When the regenerating New Moon strikes in profound Scorpio at 8:47 am EDT, we’ll probably be excited for a fresh start — even the part of it that means shedding whatever isn’t working!
