After three hurricanes hit the state in 2024 Florida lawmakers Friday gave final approval to a bill that would make changes involving issues such as debris removal and rebuilding storm-damaged homes The House voted 106-0 and the Senate voted 34-1 to approve the bill (SB 180) “This bill is meant to help those folks in the future that are going through their darkest hours because we know that we're going to continue to have hurricanes,” Rep would require local governments each year to set in advance at least one debris-management site; to develop plans for businesses and homeowners about post-storm permitting processes; to establish what are known as mutual-aid agreements to bring in help from elsewhere; and to set plans for staffing after storms Local governments also would be prohibited from increasing building-permit and inspection fees for 180 days after emergencies are declared for hurricanes or tropical storms The bill also would seek to prevent a repeat of an incident where a crane collapsed into a St Petersburg office building when Hurricane Milton slammed into the area last year The bill would require that 24 hours before anticipated hurricane impacts all hoisting equipment would have to be secured to comply with manufacturer recommendations laying down fixed booms and setting towers in a “weathervane position.” An earlier version of the bill also dealt with the authority of elections supervisors to make changes after storms but that issue was removed from the final measure said those issues could be addressed in the 2026 legislative session This year’s six-month hurricane season will start June 1 causing tens of billions of dollars in damage — A North Carolina Superior Court judge denied a preliminary injunction Wednesday that Legacy Motor Club sought to keep Rick Ware Racing from possibly selling the charter that Legacy MC states it purchased lasted nearly three hours before Judge Clifton H At issue is what charter Legacy MC purchased from Rick Ware Racing and when they would have access to it Judge Smith noted that Legacy MC purchased a charter from Rick Ware Racing for “roughly $45 million.” That makes it the highest price for a charter The agreement calls for Rick Ware Racing to sell Charter No Legacy MC’s attorney noted that the wording in the contract described the charter to be purchased as Charter 27 which also is owned by Rick Ware Racing but is being leased to RFK Racing this year for the No An attorney for Rick Ware Racing said two weeks after the agreement was signed the two sides met at Las Vegas where Legacy MC offered to pay RWR $5 million more than the orginial purchase price to purchase Charter 27 so it could have three chartered cars next season It was also noted in court that RFK Racing has an agreement with Rick Ware Racing to lease Charter 36 (the one being used by Cody Ware this year) next season Teams are allowed to lease a charter once every seven years A key issue Wednesday in court was the contract and the confusion created by it said in court that the wrong charter number in the agreement was a result of what Rick Ware told the attorney writing the contract said in court that Ware always intended to sell Charter 36 (being used by Cody Ware this season in the No 51) and didn’t intend to sell the charter used by RFK Racing “I don’t think this contract makes any sense,” Marcus said in court “ … It’s chalk full of mistakes.” Forst said the contract suggests otherwise “It is crystal clear that this purchase agreement covers (Charter) 27 and not 36 not withstanding the misidentification of the number,” Forst said in court “… We wanted the charter that is being currently leased (Charter 27).” Marcus went through a timeline in the court of key moments in the deal He stated that a text on March 3 shows Ware’s understanding that the contract is for Charter 36 and that the deal was signed Legacy MC went to NASCAR to inform officials they had an agreement to purchase a charter they knew that Charter 36 is the charter that was meant to be used by RFK Racing next year.” He noted the March 15 meeting in Las Vegas when Legacy MC upped its offer by $5 million to get Charter 27 to race it next year Marcus said that “selling Charter 27 puts Rick Ware Racing out of business,” noting that it would leave RWR without a charter for next season since there is an agreement with RFK Racing for it to lease Charter 36 next season The two sides were in court Wednesday because Legacy MC had a temporary restraining order granted but wanted to make it a preliminary injunction to ensure that Rick Ware Racing didn’t sell Charter 27 elsewhere Ware said in a statement: “RWR is gratified by the Court’s decision in this case said of Wednesday’s decision: “Part of the journey.” A Division of NBCUniversal DISCLAIMER: This site and the products offered are for entertainment purposes only and there is no gambling offered on this site This service is intended for adult audiences No guarantees are made for any specific outcome If you or someone you know has a gambling problem A tough start to the weekend for Cody Ware and Rick Ware Racing. The No. 51 Ford failed pre-race inspection twice. As a result, the team loses pit stall selection and their car chief for the rest of the NASCAR weekend at Texas This season has not been great for Cody Ware Rick Ware Racing has been doing a good job of pulling in sponsors for this season It is clear that the team doesn’t have the same speed they had at the end of last year In the grand scheme of things, this penalty isn’t going to matter much Ware is probably going to finish in that P25 to P35 finish The NASCAR Cup Series pre-race inspection is complete at Texas Motor Speedway.Th No 51 car chief Dave Jones has been ejected for remainder of this event and the 51 has lost pit selection for this event But that is how this NASCAR weekend has kicked off at Texas in the first place Rain has put a wet blanket on Friday’s plans Both the Truck and Xfinity Series have practice and qualifying canceled due to the weather today NASCAR fans are dying for an exciting race weekend Will Texas deliver that after a month of tough races The water just wouldn’t quit coming out of the walls. So, the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Texas will not have qualifying. Austin Hill, the winner from Talladega, will lead the field to green from the pole. Austin Hill has been doing great this season. He has three wins on the season, and a couple of them have been a bit lucky. Can he get his fourth win of the season at Texas?

What they call weepers, water leaking out of the SAFER barrier walls and the cracks in the track, keep showing up.

Justin Allgaier, Jesse Love, Jeb Burton, Harrison Burton, Sheldon Creed, Sam Mayer, Matt DeBenedetto, Daniel Dye, and Anthony Alfredo make up the rest of the top-10 for tomorrow’s race. A few of these drivers would love to get a win at Texas. Despite the qualifying session being canceled, Katherine Legge made the race. She made it in while two drivers, CJ McLaughlin and Dawson Cram, had to go home with only 38 spots available. Now we get ready for the Truck Series race tonight. It should be a fun event to watch.

Elsewhere the U.S. Mint has revealed the final design of their 2025 Superman coin. The obverse (heads side) design of Superman was designed and sculpted by Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna  It depicts Superman flying over his family farm  The Sun not only nurtures the farmland where a young Clark Kent was raised by his adoptive parents but it is also the primary source that fuels his incredible powers Mint Medallic Artist Joseph V. Noorigian designed and sculpted the reverse (tails side) of the Superman coin and medals  This design explores the duality of identity inherent in the story of Superman and the concept of “the hero within.”  Clark Kent is shown as a young adult deep in thought as he watches a plane fly overhead and my first thought was the opening of The Simpsons The Superman/Batman bullion coins are both unnecessary and wasteful Gold is something like $3250/oz and the silver replica isn’t officially a coin and is being sold for about a hundred bucks a pop It reminds me of those pseudo-coins “issued” by tiny islands in the middle of the ocean featuring Harry Potter Commentdocument.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a4f3117fe259952d985d9421151da2c7" );document.getElementById("h28b51313a").setAttribute( "id" Get a daily recap of the news posted each day You have successfully joined our subscriber list NASCAR has hit a Cup Series team with two penalties ahead of the action at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend Taconic baseball players celebrate earlier this season Taconic coach Ben Stohr has his Thunder playing well late in the season It was a rare Sunday afternoon baseball game on Valentine Road PITTSFIELD — The Ware High School baseball team bused into town Sunday with a perfect record Quentin Christopher hit his second home run in as many games and drove in five while reliever Gavin Maffuccio set the side down in order in the seventh as host Taconic held on for a 6-4 win "It feels good when we have a good team win like that," Christopher said after the game The Thunder broke a 1-1 tie with Christopher's three-run home run in the third They added two runs in the fifth to make it 6-1 The Indians scored three times in the top of the sixth inning Maffuccio got Jack Gaudreau on a pop fly that he caught Then Logan Millett hit a liner right at second baseman Connor Paronto and Brodie Koczur ended the game when he hit a one-hopper back to the mound Maffuccio ran toward first and tossed to Kyle McGrath for the game-ending out "We knew that it was going to be a battle," first-year Taconic coach Ben Stohr said "[Taconic] is coming off of a big win at Wahconah last time I was pleased with the approach at the plate [Starting pitcher Chase] Wendling and Maffuccio did a good job of battling but it was definitely big for us to get back over .500." The Valley West team came into the game as the No 22-ranked team in the MIAA's Division III power rankings are members of the Suburban Central and came into the game as the No but more than 2 full power rating points behind No "It's always nice to be undefeated," Ware coach Scott Slattery said We don't have a lot of big game practice here That's why we took Taconic on last year because we knew we would be a little better the next few years "We came and competed and had a chance to beat them today." The Indians stranded 11 runners on the day leaving runners on in scoring position in six of seven innings whose single to left drove in Owen McKeever with the third run of the inning ended up on first to load the bases with two outs But Ware's Troy Dufresne hit an 0-1 pitch back to Maffuccio who threw to first for the final out of the inning There was plenty of free baseball at Taconic Thursday afternoon Camden Zerbato's infield single drove home the game-winning run The Thunder got on the board in the first inning on doubles by Evan Roccabruna and Eddie Ferris Ware tied the game on a run-scoring double by Kyle Kaczuwka Taconic took control of the game in the third inning Ferris struck out on a third-strike foul tip Then Ethan O'Donnell walked on a 3-2 pitch The next batter was Christopher and on the first pitch the Taconic shortstop drove the ball over the fence in center field for a three-run home run Christopher hit a two-run single in the fifth "He was swinging a good bat this last week Christopher said the home run pitch from Guimond was a fastball "I had my coach [Taconic assistant Austin Rachiele] taught me how to go middle and away with the ball and see it deeper into the plate," Christopher said My gameplan every game is always to be aggressive because the first pitch you see is always the best one you're going to get." The Thunder will be at Drury Monday at Joe Wolfe Field and then at Clapp Park on Thursday for the rematch against city rival Pittsfield.  Three of Taconic's final four pre-Western Massachusetts Tournament games are on the road The only home game for the Thunder is Monday gets back on the bus Monday for a long ride to Great Barrington where the Indians will play Monument Mountain Howard Herman can be reached at  hherman@berkshireeagle.com or 413-496-6253.  The Allied Association opened its season with 88 teams making the trip to Connecticut on Saturday.

The first is the highly publicized court battle between 23XI Racing, Front Row Motorsports and NASCAR as the teams seek to the challenge the terms of the 2025 Charter Agreement focuses on the ownership of a single charter The suit was filed in Mecklenburg County Clerk of Superior Courts and claimed Rick Ware was attempting to wrongfully back out of a signed agreement to transfer a charter from RWR to Legacy for the 2026 season After allegedly signing an official Charter Purchase Agreement on March 3rd Legacy claims RWR is trying to renege on the deal they filed a motion for a preliminary injunction asking the courts to prevent Rick Ware from doing anything with the disputed charter while the case is ongoing the team asserted that they risk immediate and irreparable harm without the help of an injunction However, a North Carolina judge ruled against them following a hearing on Wednesday morning, decided not to grant the preliminary injunction. Previously, Legacy was able to acquire a temporary restraining order, which prevented RWR from encumbering the disputed charter until a decision made regarding the injunction. Rick Ware reacted to the news with the following statement: "RWR is gratified by the Court’s decision in this case Legacy is aiming to expand to three full-time entries for the 2026 season as they already possess two fully chartered teams Rick Ware Racing also possess two charters but they are currently leasing one out to RFK Racing's No This charter sale is said to be worth $45 million dollars which would be a new record if it goes through From Formula 1 to MotoGP we report straight from the paddock because we love our sport In order to keep delivering our expert journalism we want to give you the opportunity to enjoy an ad-free and tracker-free website and to continue using your adblocker Miami Heat big man Kel’el Ware burst onto the scene in his rookie campaign 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game across 64 games There were some inconsistencies along the way including in the Heat’s first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers who turned 21-years-old earlier this month earned some recognition Tuesday for being one of the NBA’s top rookies While he wasn’t a finalist for the Rookie of the Year award 15 overall pick in last year’s draft tallied four third-place votes for the award A global media panel of 100 voters selected the winner of the 2024-25 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award.The complete voting results ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/VrvxR9N4tT He finished 12th among rookies in total points fifth in win shares per 48 and tied for first in value over replacement player (0.7) I was oftentimes critical of the rookie’s strength (or lack thereof) and body positioning but he showed a fairly good motor throughout the season–which was a pre-draft red flag last year–with very strong hands good shooting touch inside 10 feet and rim protection Though he showcased encouraging flashes on both sides of the floor alongside Bam Adebayo despite their offense being a little funky together The spacing and functionality weren’t always there though it’s unfair to pin those solely on those two who’s hoping to parlay his first taste of NBA basketball into something greater in future seasons and what are you expecting him to improve heading into next year To check out our other content, click here Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Twitter/X here Follow Hot Hot Hoops on Instagram here Subscribe to our YouTube channel here He should come back a little bigger and more focused on what he has to do to elevate his game It’s a process (especially for centers) that doesn’t happen overnight If he works hard and learns and gains skill and confidence along the way he has the potential to be an all-star or make the all defensive team one day Copyright © 2025 Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog | Powered by Hot Hot Holdings Inc This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Elizabeth Marie “Lisa” (Sears) Ware of Davenport unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday  A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m Visitation will also be held from 4:00 p.m Halligan-McCabe-DeVries Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.  they shared over 46 years of marriage.  Lisa could be found watching Lifetime TV or the movie Steel Magnolias She enjoyed the traditions of the Triple Crown Horse Races with her family.   She served as a member of many not-for-profit boards including St Lisa provided generous support to these and other causes.   She enjoyed spending time up north at Deer Lake in Grand Rapids making lasting memories with family and friends at the cabin and took great care to encourage and support them She cherished the time she spent with them One of her favorite yearly events was to take all of them back to school shopping  Lisa dedicated more than 50 years to the company she loved where she held the positions of Vice President and Treasurer She was an instrumental part of the company’s success She served as a board member of Sears Manufacturing Company and Sears GSK Asia She was a pivotal part of the Sears family  Those left to honor her memory include: her husband Richard; children Christopher (Jessica) Ware Beth (Kyle) Elliott and Sarah Warner; grandchildren Kyle McClure Dayne Ware and Greyson Ware; great grandchild Leila McClure; and siblings Jim (Melissa) Sears Stephanie (Ryan) Boldt and Stephen (Beatrice) Sears  She was preceded in death by her parents  Memorials may be made to https://4hcm.org to help fund research for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy San Antonio Spurs' forward Stephon Castle was named 2024-25 Kia NBA Rookie of the Year Award winner this week.

Watch All Subscriber Events NASCAR SERIES Cody Ware has been named the full-time driver of Rick Ware Racing's No. 51 Ford in 2025. Ware will be joined by veteran Rick Ware Racing crew chief Billy Plourde who will remain with the team heading into the new season expressed gratitude for the elevation to full-time racing in 2025 and vows to make the most of the opportunity “The NASCAR Cup Series is where every driver wants to be and I’m grateful to be back fulltime,” Ware said “I’ve improved as a driver and RWR has improved as a team I aim to make the most of it and earn the respect of my competitors.” A big part of why Rick Ware Racing opted to name Ware the full-time driver of the No 51 entry for the 2025 season was how the driver performed during his nine races with the team a season ago “Cody made a lot out of the nine races he ran for us last year and proved that he was deserving of a fulltime opportunity,” said team owner Rick Ware “Running a part-time schedule isn’t easy because it’s hard to develop consistency when you’re out of the car for weeks on end But Cody made it work and he and crew chief Billy Plourde developed a good rapport It made sense to see what could come of their collective efforts when they’re working alongside one another week in and week out A full season together provides the best chance for everyone to succeed.” Ware secured his career-best finish (fourth) at Daytona International Speedway nabbed a 12th-place run at Talladega Superspeedway and had a top-20 finish (18th) in the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway Heading into the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season Ware has 106 starts with one top-five and two top-10 finishes The fourth generation race car driver will look to pad those stats this season in a full-time campaign Photo Credit: Craig White | TobyChristie.com This story originally appeared on TobyChristie.com NASCAR Cup Series B'laster Joins McDowell at Spire Motorsports for Two-Race Primary Sponsorship Zep Joins Forces with Front Row Motorsports, Noah Gragson in 2025 Anthony Alfredo to Attempt Daytona 500 for Beard Motorsports Game Recap: Men's Basketball | 3/1/2025 4:34:00 PM ARLINGTON, Texas - Forward/Center Lance Ware notched a double-double with 24 points and 11 rebounds on Senior Day but UT Arlington men's basketball fell to the Abilene Christian (15-14 falling behind 14-3 in the opening minutes and despite pulling even multiple times in the second half the Mavs were unable to overcome ACU on Saturday Abilene Christian kept widening its lead after intermission constructing a 37-23 advantage before UT Arlington went on a 10-0 run to shrink the deficit to 37-33 with 15:16 to go in the contest Abilene Christian responded and outscored the Mavericks the rest of the way Thanks for visiting
