More than 1,000 people from across South Florida gathered at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood for the 10th Annual Broward Health Ball.At Saturday night’s gala, Broward Health celebrated 85 years of providing health care to the community.The event also honored Thelma Coates, one of their longest tenured employees, who has been with the county for more than 60 years.The night featured several live performances and a mouthwatering menu, but it was also an opportunity for the community to give back.“The real impact is the lives that we affect, so more money for [neonatal intensive care unit] children, more money for those that aren’t able to afford it, more money for advanced technologies and other new equipment that the organization needs,” said Broward Health CEO Shane Strum, “making sure that we’re recruiting the best and brightest. We’ve got some of the most spectacular physicians that are out there — neurology, o...

Heat bring 2-0 lead over Celtics home to Miami as East finals resume

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:51:25 GMT

MIAMI (AP) — Jimmy Butler is Miami’s leader this postseason in points, minutes, assists and steals per game. He’s the sommelier at team dinners. He’s the barista when it’s time for coffee.If all that wasn’t enough, he’s also the DJ.When music blares in the Heat locker room, Butler is almost always in charge. Could be gospel, could be Whitney Houston, could be Nickelback and — as it was after Miami’s 111-105 win in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals — it could be Morgan Wallen, whose song “Somebody’s Problem” has become a Heat anthem.Wallen’s song is not about basketball, though that’s completely irrelevant to the Heat. These days, Butler is Somebody’s Problem. In fact, he’s Everybody’s Problem. And the Boston Celtics are running out of time to find a solution.Game 3 of the East finals is Sunday night, with the eighth-seeded Heat leading 2-0 after stunning almost everyone but themselves by going into Boston and winning the first two games of the series — puttin...

By MARCOS ALEMÁN (Associated Press)SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — Fans angry at being blocked from entering a Salvadoran soccer league match despite having tickets knocked down a small access gate to the stadium, creating a crush that killed 12 people and injured dozens, officials and witnesses said Sunday. Diego Armando, 14, said he went with this father to watch Saturday night’s quarterfinals match between clubs Alianza and Fas at Monumental Stadium in Cuscatlan in southern San Salvador, the nation’s capital. He recalled being in the crowd when the tragedy struck. “There were so many people that the small gate couldn’t support them and it went down,” he told Channel 12 television. “I fell and my body from my waist to my feet was crushed. Five people pulled me free and saved me by a miracle. Two people in front of me died. I spoke to one and he didn’t move,” the boy said.His father, Hectór Rivas, said the crush occur...

By MARCIA DUNN (AP Aerospace Writer)CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Saudi Arabia’s first astronauts in decades rocketed toward the International Space Station on a chartered multimillion-dollar flight Sunday.SpaceX launched the ticket-holding crew, led by a retired NASA astronaut now working for the company that arranged the trip. Also on board: a U.S. businessman who now owns a sports car racing team.The four should reach the space station in their capsule Monday morning; they’ll spend just over a week there before returning home with a splashdown off the Florida coast.Sponsored by the Saudi Arabian government, Rayyanah Barnawi, a stem cell researcher, became the first woman from the kingdom to go to space. She was joined by Ali al-Qarni, a fighter pilot with the Royal Saudi Air Force.They’re the first from their country to ride a rocket since a Saudi prince launched aboard shuttle Discovery in 1985.

Orioles complete first sweep of Blue Jays in Toronto since 2005 with 8-3 win in 11 innings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:51:25 GMT

As the road team in extra innings, scoring one run is often not enough. Saturday’s win was the exception thanks to the heroics of Félix Bautista.Playing in extras again Sunday, the Orioles in the 10th scored just one — the automatic runner placed at second — and the Toronto Blue Jays did the same. Terrin Vavra wouldn’t let that happen again.After Austin Hays’ RBI single gave Baltimore another one-run lead, Brandon Hyde called on Vavra to pinch-hit, and he rewarded his manager with a two-run single amid the Orioles’ five-run 11th inning to beat the Blue Jays, 8-3.Vavra jumped on the first pitch he saw from Yimi García and lined the 95 mph fastball to center field to score Adam Frazier and Hays. Cedric Mullins, whose RBI single in the 10th was the reason the Orioles had another chance in the 11th, then put a cherry on top of the win with a two-run double to right-center field to score Vavra and Gunnar Henderson. Mullins went 5-for-6 with t...

Starling Marte bails out Mets after bullpen blowup

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:51:25 GMT

The Mets have suddenly found an extra gear when they need it most.After the bullpen blew a three-run lead in the top of the eighth, turning a 3-0 advantage into a 4-3 debacle, Starling Marte immediately answered with a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the inning, helping the Mets along to a 5-4 defeat of the Guardians Sunday afternoon in the first game of a split-doubleheader.Marte has struggled this season — .620 OPS on the season — however, his clutch 3-for-4 performance gave his club its fourth straight come-from-behind victory.Adam Ottavino gets most of the credit for making the Mets’ afternoon that much more difficult as he took the ball in the eighth with a three-run cushion. The right-hander allowed two runs on an RBI groundout by Myles Straw and an RBI single by Amed Rosario in which Buck Showalter immediately called for David Robertson with the score 3-2 and the Guardians’ biggest threat in the form of Jose Ramirez stepping to the plate.Ramire...

G7 ends with Ukraine in focus, Zelenskyy meets world leaders

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:51:25 GMT

HIROSHIMA, Japan — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy huddled with some of his biggest backers as the Group of Seven summit closed in Hiroshima on Sunday, building momentum for his country’s war effort even as Russia claimed a battlefield victory that was quickly disputed by Ukraine.The Ukrainian leader’s in-person appearance in his trademark olive drab underscored the centrality of the war for the G7 bloc of rich democracies. It also stole much of the limelight from other priorities, including security challenges in Asia and outreach to the developing world, that the leaders focused on at the three-day gathering.Hosting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the group was committed to “strong backing for Ukraine from every possible dimension.”Zelenskyy held two major rounds of meetings Sunday, one with G7 leaders and a second with them and a host of invited guests including India and South Korea. He also spoke one-on-one with several leaders.Hanging...
