First-responders carry a powerful, opioid-overdose reversal drug – known as naloxone – that can save lives when injected into a patient or sprayed into his nose.

Gainesville City Commissioners on Thursday unanimously voted to accept an eviction protocol for those in Dignity Village, a homeless camp near the northeast corner of the city.

The proposals would formally ban insurance companies and others from denying transplants for anyone with physical or mental disabilities.

Florida would become the second state to prohibit the procedure after New York, which banned it last summer.

New Jersey, the District of Columbia and civilian teachers in schools run by the U.S. Defense Department would continue to earn more than Florida teachers, even under the governor’s roughly $600 million proposal.

The Florida man killed in a bizarre attack earlier this year by one of the world’s deadliest birds suffered deep puncture wounds and slashing cuts from the animal’s sharp talons that severed a major artery in his arm, according to a newly released autopsy.

The trial will continue throughout Friday and into next week. The case as a whole is estimated to take 10 to 14 days in order to reach a verdict.
