The Miami Hurricanes are on their way to Houston, Texas where they will compete in the Final Four. Also joining them in the finals is Florida Atlantic University. On Wednesday, the Hurricanes were given a send-off by fans as they continue to look for a magic run during the NCAA tournament. Hurricanes Coach Jim Larrañaga gave the team a pep talk before their 40-minute practice. The team advanced after beating Texas and overcoming a 13-point deficit in the Elite Eight.

House Chair: Carve Commuter Rail Out Of MBTA

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:04:44 GMT

The eastern Massachusetts commuter rail network and its hundreds of thousands of riders would no longer be the responsibility of the MBTA under safety and management reforms targeted by the House’s transportation chief.Rep. William Straus of Mattapoisett, who co-chairs the Transportation Committee that last year held oversight hearings examining the widespread problems at the T, filed legislation that would scale back the agency’s scope with a goal of tightening its focus on core subway and bus service.His proposal has already drawn muted reviews from public transit advocates, who argue that Beacon Hill’s focus should be on resources made available to the T instead of the transportation governance flowchart. The transit agency is in the midst of a major hiring effort, but has had trouble filling positions.In Straus’s view, the deteriorating conditions at the MBTA in recent years — which range from persistent service cuts prompted by staffing shortages t...

Richard Tribou | (TNS) Orlando SentinelThe powers that be for the big cruise lines have been handing off the reins since steering their companies through the pandemic with new CEOs in place, but while they are still chasing prepandemic profits, a future with net-zero emissions by 2050 remains a specter that doesn’t have an obvious solution, yet.“After three very long years, it’s so great to be making money,” said Jason Liberty, who took over as President & CEO for Royal Caribbean Group when Richard Fain stepped down last year. “It’s been an incredible journey, last year to stand up our entire fleet, getting our occupancy back to where we are making money again.”Liberty was among the leaders on stage for the State of the Global Cruise Industry presentation during the Seatrade Cruise Global conference held at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Tuesday.He was joined by conference newcomer Carnival Corp.

It was a hard impact and it was like, ‘Oh, something’s not right,’ ” said Lauko.At first he appeared to be badly injured as laid face down on the ice, but he eventually got up and was able to skate off the ice with some assistance.After two days off the ice, he skated with the team on Wednesday at the Garden and has a chance to get back in the lineup on Thursday against Columbus.Lauko suffered a left knee ...
