GAINESVILLE — Coach Todd Golden’s Gators have been unbeatable at home, but no Florida team for decades had any trouble against Auburn in the O’Connell Center. Until Saturday. The Tigers stunned the Gators 76-67 for Auburn’s first win in Gainesville since 1996 and Florida’s first loss at home after 16 straight wins. “Disappointing,” Golden said. “We had been playing really well. I don’t think we played great, but I want to credit Auburn. I thought they took the fight to... Read More

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Malik Reneau had a 20-point, 11-rebound double-double, Tre Donaldson and Shelton Henderson each added 16 points, and Miami defeated Syracuse 85-76 on Saturday. Reneau picked up his sixth double-double of the season, and was 8-for-12 shooting from the floor and 1 for 2 from beyond the arc. He also dished five assists to tie Donaldson for a team-high. The Hurricanes (16-4, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a two-game skid after winning their first four games of... Read More

It’s a shame Miami Dolphins owner Steve Ross quit reading newspapers out “frustration,” as he said this past week, over reading about his losing team. My business needs every available subscriber these days. Maybe we could send him coffee with the paper to start up again? Ross could be selective in his chosen articles, too. He could, for example, just read entertaining advice columns like Miss Manners or Asking Eric. They’re terrific for knowing if gifts cards are necessary for... Read More

Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed every year on Jan. 27. While Florida has mandated Holocaust education since 1994, the state took the step of labeling the date a “legal holiday or special observance,” effective July 2025. This new legislation makes Jan. 27 permanent on government calendars and explicitly requires schools to teach “anti-semitism and contributions of the Jewish community” on that day. The fact that legislators felt the need to expand these protections last... Read More

Two years after setting up their French-style brunchery on the picturesque banks of Fort Lauderdale’s New River, young Parisians Estelle Bellegy and Benjamin Amsallem are betting they can deux it again in west Broward County. Café Bastille, their casual breakfast-lunch spot at 1660 Market St., debuted in the Weston Town Center on Friday, Jan. 16, with 54 seats indoors and 18 more on the patio. At 2,200 square feet, it occupies a high-traffic storefront in the open-air mall’s northwestern... Read More

The governing board of Tri-Rail, South Florida’s publicly subsidized commuter line, took a step toward making the railroad’s fares a stronger revenue contributor Friday by greenlighting a potential increase by August. No hard dollar amounts were proposed. But Tri-Rail’s fares — between their rock-bottom levels and a convoluted zone system —  have been a nettlesome issue for a management that has been traveling over dual tracks during the past year: Working to restore some or...

A Live Local lawsuit making its way through the courts could bring dramatic change to the Hollywood beach skyline, potentially paving the way for taller towers far north of Hollywood Boulevard if the developer wins. And if the city wins, the case would shed light on the limitations of the state’s controversial Live Local law. In late 2024, Hollywood rejected a developer’s plan to build a 17-story tower several blocks north of Hollywood Boulevard on the barrier island, a section of the... Read More

Today is Saturday, Jan. 24, the 24th day of 2026. There are 341 days left in the year. Today in history: On Jan. 24, 2011, a suicide bomber attacked Moscow’s busiest airport, killing 37 people; Chechen separatists claimed responsibility. Also on this date: In 1835, a major slave rebellion began in Bahia, Brazil, leading to the deaths of dozens of enslaved people in clashes with troops, police and armed civilians in the provincial capital of Salvador. The uprising was seen as influential in... Read More
