BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — During a recent team trip to Melbourne, Tony Gustavsson, head coach of Australia’s national women’s soccer team, called a meeting. Instead of leading the Matildas through a tactical discussion, he told the players he had different plans for the evening.“They played about a three-minute highlight reel on YouTube of the moment of Cathy Freeman’s race,” Matildas defender Aivi Luik recounted Tuesday in Brisbane, where the Matildas are finalizing preparations for the Women’s World Cup. “And by the end of it, there was a lot of emotion going around in the room.“And when they turned the lights on, we turned around, and there she was.”If any Australian knows how to handle pressure in the sports arena, it’s Freeman.

Steamy and Stormy

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:08:36 GMT

Today is the 15th day in a roll that parts of South Florida have been under heat alerts and the hotter than normal temperature stretch continues. An upper-level disturbance keeping plenty of moisture in the air will help fuel along the daytime heat scattered showers and storms early afternoon. Some of the activity that forms could produce heavy rainfall and gusty winds. By Wednesday, steering winds veer out of the East-Southeast and a tropical wave tracks to our South (we will probably get some of its moisture). However, this onshore flow won’t be enough to keep sea breeze driven storms from pushing well inland.More Saharan dust seems to settle into the region for the weekend and that could bring down rain chances.  Today in the Tropics: Don is a tropical storm likely to strengthen slightly more remaining over the Central Atlantic.Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one!

On Tuesday, she’ll hear from the lawyers hoping to influence her as she decides how and when former President Donald Trump will stand trial on charges that he amassed classified national security secrets at his private home.The hearing, set to take place at Cannon’s home courthouse in Fort Pierce, Fla., is the first one she’s held in the case that began when federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump last month. Earlier court sessions were held in Miami by federal magistrate judges.Tuesday’s session was originally billed as the first chance for the attorneys to discuss how they intend to handle the voluminous classified material expected to be evidence in the case. But Cannon recently signaled she will also address the broader trial schedule — one that pits Trump’s demand for a delay until after the 2024 presiden...
