Meaders and Dunne met in Brevard County after Dunne moved back. They've found the hospitality of everyone in their community much improved, noting that many people in her small Missouri city recently moved from California.

He acted out, showing up to the "Drake & Josh" set late and hungover. "If I'm going to tell my story, this is how it was supposed to be told," Drake Bell, pictured here at his studio in Mexico City, recently told BI. In the second season, Brian Peck (who is unrelated to Bell's "Drake & Josh" costar Josh Peck) joined as a dialogue coach. Bell told BI that Nickelodeon "was a factory," treating child actors like kings one day only to throw them to the curb the next. Bell told BI that, in some ways, his music and the docuseries serve the same purpose.

In 2022, the City of Miami Beach similarly imposed a midnight curfew after two spring break shootings left five people injured on Ocean Drive. The area seemed tame, she said, compared to previous “crazy” spring break stays in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 miles north.

More than two decades ago, Wayne Jones traveled to Daytona Beach, then Florida’s spring break mecca, not to party but to study. Maybe Miami Beach, which had its own unruly scene every year over Memorial Day weekend, could learn a thing or two. Officer Jones is now Chief Jones of the Miami Beach Police. Last year, the police made more than 500 arrests and confiscated more than 100 guns over the spring break period. “This is going to be the best spring break ever,” he said in a recent interview at his South Beach office.

☆ Why checked bag fees are at record highs
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-02 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Checked bag fees are hitting record highs as airlines up the ante. So an airline can save $75 million in tax fees off its $1 billion revenue in domestic checked-bag fees. The introduction of bag fees was also a response to the rise of low-price carriers like Spirit in the United States and Ryanair in Europe. But airlines kept the bag fees in place and even raised them in an effort to make up for the lost revenue from change fees. Bag fees have been a political punching bag.

CNN —Intuitive Machines’ IM-1 lander, also called Odysseus or “Odie,” is on the lunar surface after experiencing unexpected issues hours prior to landing. “Intuitive Machines made the decision to reassign the primary navigation sensors from Odysseus … to use the sensors on NASA’s Navigation Doppler Lidar,” according to the webcast. With its landing legs and sensors pointed toward the lunar terrain, Odysseus relied on the Lidar payload to locate a safe landing spot. The IM-1 mission comes amid a renewed international dash for the lunar surface. Odysseus passes over the near side of the moon following lunar orbit insertion on February 21.

But the Toyota's lacked speed Wednesday night in time trials and Johnson failed to earn a guaranteed spot in what will be his 21st Daytona 500. It meant that he had to beat J.J.

After burning through its fuel, the rocket will detach from Odie, leaving the lunar lander to fly solo through space.

The device is set to pop off of the lunar lander as it approaches the surface and capture images of the vehicle’s descent.

“This experimental graphic will help better convey wind hazard risk inland in addition to coastal wind hazards,” the center said in the post. Heavy rains and strong winds can be deadly and cause significant damage inland, which happened in 2022 with Hurricane Ian, when 149 people died in Florida. The goal of the expanded forecast cone is to make sure people who don't live along a coast are aware of the dangers they could still face, said Jamie Rhome, deputy director of the hurricane center. Ian produced between 10 and 20 inches (51 centimeters) of rain across much of central Florida, the hurricane center reported. Only Hurricane Idalia struck the U.S., coming ashore in the lightly-populated Big Bend region of Florida's Gulf Coast but also causing significant inland flooding.

Midway through his second season, Ganassi said he'd picked up the option on Palou's contract for 2023. McLaren is now suing for an exorbitant figure Palou certainly can't afford, and Palou in his legal response admitted to breach of his McLaren contract in a bid for the legal wrangling to focus only on actual damages Palou owes McLaren. So he sat before AP smiling and totally unbothered by this nearly two-year Ganassi and McLaren tug-of-war over his employment.
