Lakeland linebacker Charles Calhoun aims to make statement in playoffs

LAKELAND — If defense indeeds wins titles, Lakeland senior linebacker Charles Calhoun couldn’t be happier with that responsibility. He certainly knows what it’s going to take on his part and his defensive teammates as the postseason run begins, especially beginning against Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas on Friday. “We got to come out, dominate,” Calhoun said. “We got to hit them in their mouth first. You can't let them hit us in the mouth. This whole week we've been practicing hard, you know what I'm saying, working hard, getting it in, so we got to come out, hit them in the mouth first, play 48 minutes of tough football.” Lakeland renews its rivalry against St. Thomas Aquinas in the first round of the Open Division playoffs at 7 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale. Lakeland has the overall edge in postseason matchups, but the Raiders have won the last two meetings with shutout wins in the championship game. For Calhoun, it’s his first time facing the Raiders as he transferred from Auburndale to Lakeland for his senior season. With Lakeland graduating its top three linebackers from last season, there was a void to be filled at that position, and Calhoun stepped into

The world's economic rules are changing. What's at stake for Miami? | Opinion

At a moment of significant geopolitical and economic realignment, the question facing investors, business leaders and policymakers is no longer simply where capital will flow, but what conditions will allow it to succeed. Shifting trade relationships, geopolitical tensions, technological advances and growing energy demands are reshaping the global investment landscape. Financial returns remain essential, but so do political stability, reliable infrastructure, access to energy, skilled talent and international partnerships. For 15 years, the International Economic Forum of the Americas has chosen Miami as a meeting place for conversations about the forces shaping the global economy. With its deep connections to the United States, Latin America and beyond, Miami offers a setting for international leaders to exchange perspectives, explore shared challenges and identify opportunities. Long recognized as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, Miami has evolved into an international destination for finance, real estate, technology, hospitality and major global events, including Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup. Its growing relationships with investors from the Middle East and other markets reflect the international nature of its economy. But attracting capital and international attention is only part of the equation. The greater challenge is translating that momentum into sustained economic
