Things To Do In SW Florida

NEW YORK (AP) — Most U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday and carried the market back to where it was before last week’s swoon.

The S&P 500 added 0.2% after erasing a loss taken during the morning. It’s been bouncing around lately, coming off Monday’s vigorous rebound following its first losing week in four.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 559 points, or 1.2%, to a record, surpassing its prior all-time high set two weeks ago. The Nasdaq composite lagged the market, though, as Nvidia got back to falling amid continued concerns that stocks caught up in the artificial-intelligence frenzy may have become too expensive. The Nasdaq dipped 0.3%

Helping to lead the market was Paramount Skydance, which jumped even though the entertainment giant reported revenue and profit for the latest quarter that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.

Work takes up a big chunk of our lives. In an ideal world, all of the time and energy we spend working would be met with riches and endless satisfaction.

But in reality? Burnout and job fears are rising. Between a slew of layoffs, a government shutdown, a changing economy and a shift toward artificial intelligence, it’s no wonder people are feeling uncertain.

Trust me, I get it. I’m a writer. I’d be lying if I said I’ve never worried about being replaced by AI.

So how do we overcome these work-related challenges? I asked career coaches for their advice.

Protect your time

As a full-time employee and parent of two young kids, I know how quickly the day can disappear — and how hard it is to feel like you’re making progress on an endless list of tasks. Structure helps.

Using your time intentionally is a “superpower,” says Ally Meyers, a certified executive and positive psychology coach in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The public counsel who was appointed by the Florida Legislature to represent utility customers eviscerated a deal proposed by Florida Power & Light and mostly big-business interest groups to settle the utility’s rate case, saying Monday the proposal would result in an “unconscionable” rate of return for shareholders and “unfair, unjust, and unaffordable” rates for residents.

The proposed settlement “is in the special interest of a few,” Walt Trierweiler wrote in new filings, in which he repeatedly referred to the settlement as the “Special Interest Parties’ Proposal.”

It’s also not legally valid, he argued, because it doesn’t represent a compromise between parties that were genuinely at odds and is therefore “against public policy, and against the public interest.”

Trierweiler’s statements came in paperwork that essentially represents the closing arguments in Florida Power & Light’s historically large rate case, which began early this year.

Regulators on the Florida Public Service Commission, who are all appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, will soon decide how the case will end — a verdict that will affect the monthly bills of roughly 12 million Floridians for the next four years. The utility commission is scheduled to meet Nov. 20 to vote on whether to approve the deal. read more

ByHeart, a manufacturer of organic baby formula, recalled all of its products sold nationwide Tuesday, days after some batches were recalled in an expanding outbreak of infant botulism.

At least 15 babies in 12 states have been sickened in the outbreak since August, with more cases pending, according to state and federal health officials. All of the infants were hospitalized after consuming ByHeart formula, officials said. No deaths have been reported.

ByHeart officials expanded the voluntary recall from two lots announced Saturday to all products in consumers’ homes and in stores. That includes ByHeart Whole Nutrition Infant Formula and Anywhere Pack pouches of powdered formula. The company sells about 200,000 cans of infant formula a month online and in stores such as Target, Walmart, Albertsons and Whole Foods, according to Dr. Devon Kuehn, chief medical officer.

Parents and caregivers who have the formula in their homes “should immediately discontinue use and dispose of the product,” Kuehn said. read more

The government shutdown’s strain on air traffic control has not only led to limitations on airlines, but spaceflight too.

The Federal Aviation Administration implemented space launch restraints so commercial launches have to fall between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. as of Monday.

That has led to a pivot from SpaceX for several of its planned launches on the Space Coast including a record-setting one knocked out Monday night.

A Falcon 9 on the Starlink 6-87 mission carrying 29 satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 10:21 p.m.

That fell within the new FAA limits, although the original launch window had been planned for earlier in the day.

This was the third flight of the first stage booster, which made another recovery landing downrange on the droneship Just Read the Instructions stationed in the Atlantic.

The launch was significant as the 94th orbital mission on the Space Coast from all launch providers, one more than the record 93 flown in 2024. SpaceX’s early Sunday launch, also for Starlink, matched last year’s total. read more
