OCALA, Fla. — Fire Capt. Jesse Blaire steered his SUV through the mobile home park until he spotted the little beige house with white trim and radioed to let dispatchers know he’d arrived. There, Shawnice Slaughter waited on the steps, wiping sleep from her eyes. “Good morning, Shawnice,” Blaire said. “How are you feeling today?” “I’ve been good, I’ve been good,” Slaughter said. “Much better.” Three days earlier, Blaire — a paramedic who leads the fire department’s emergency medical team — met Slaughter at a nearby hospital. She had overdosed on opioids. It took four vials of an overdose rever...

Jupiter (United States) (AFP) - As the northern hemisphere edges toward spring and millions flock to the beach, headlines have dubbed the southeastern US state of Florida the world's most likely place to be bitten by a shark. They're right, but, at the same time, shark bites are exceedingly rare overall -- a fact scientists wish more people knew, especially amid declining shark populations desperately in need of conservation. "When the sharks in the water are targeting the fishes that they normally feed on, once in a while, people get in the way and the sharks make a mistake," said Gavin Naylo...

Trump, 77, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, pleaded not guilty in June to federal charges of unlawfully retaining national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements. He kept the classified files -...

Miami Beach (United States) (AFP) - College students usually turn Miami Beach's main drag into a huge street party at this time of year -- blocking traffic as they drink and dance to thumping reggaeton music. But strict new measures mean the American ritual, known as Spring Break, is a much quieter affair this year. The city in south Florida is enacting rules to stamp out partying which has gotten out of control -- and even violent -- in recent years, with two killed in shootings last March. As the sun went down on the weekend, Ocean Drive -- typically the party hub for the thousands who desc...

Nach mehreren Stunden Überlebenskampf ist ein vor der Golfküste von Florida gestrandeter Pottwal gestorben. Das berichteten mehrere US-Medien am Montagmorgen (Ortszeit) unter Berufung auf die zuständigen Umweltbehörden des US-Bundesstaats. Der Meeressäuger war am frühen Sonntagmorgen (Ortszeit) im Wasser nahe dem beliebten Touristenort Venice entdeckt worden.

Das Vorhaben, ihm von einem Boot aus ein Beruhigungsmittel zu verabreichen, wurde aufgrund der Bedingungen auf dem Wasser als zu gefährlich eingest...

Margaret Parsons, one of three dermatologists at a 20-person practice in Sacramento, California, is in a bind. Since a Feb. 21 cyberattack on a previously obscure medical payment processing company, Change Healthcare, Parsons said, she and her colleagues haven’t been able to electronically bill for their services. She heard Noridian Healthcare Solutions, California’s Medicare payment processor, was not accepting paper claims as of earlier this week, she said. And paper claims can take 3-6 months to result in payment anyway, she estimated. “We will be in trouble in very short order, and are ver...

Palm Beach (United States) (AFP) - Under the chandeliers and gilt ceilings in the ballroom of his palatial Mar-a-Lago home, Donald Trump was feted by family and would-be courtiers Tuesday as he moved ever closer to clinching the Republican presidential nomination. The audience at the Florida residence-turned-private-club was rapt as the former president took the stage, with Trump focused on his impending coronation as the man to take on Joe Biden in November's general election. "This is an incredible group of people," he told the crowd of supporters, donors and party officials. "We have some t...

TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — Andrew McClave Jr. loved to lift weights. The 6-foot-4-inch bartender resembled a bodybuilder and once posed for a photo flexing his muscles with former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan. “He was extremely dedicated to it,” said his father, Andrew McClave Sr., “to the point where it was almost like he missed his medication if he didn’t go.” But the hobby took its toll. According to a police report, a friend told the Treasure Island Police Department that McClave, 36, suffered from back problems and took unprescribed pills to reduce the pain. In late 2022, the friend discovered Mc...
