- The Broward County School District has to trim $47 million from its budget, and a whole bunch of that is liable to come out of the construction department since the last thing the district needs are new buildings. [Sun-Sentinel]
- The bankruptcy proceedings related to Scott Rothstein are going to deal crushing blows to a pair of local jewelry stores, where the attorney spent some $20 million of his Ponzi-based fortune. [Daily Pulp]
- Boynton Beach celebrity Dalia Dippolito took the witness stand today in court proceedings by her husband Michael, who wants to take her name off the deed of their home.

- The Dolphins hired former Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Mike Nolan in hopes he can make the same quick improvements to a Miami defense that struggled mightily down the stretch of this past season.
