With Epstein dead and Maxwell in jail, who was paying these men? It could be any of the people who are not yet facing charges, says Osborne-Crowley when we meet. Firstly, they can afford it. The weekend I was in Miami, there was a person following me, a person following a survivor in South Africa who was in my book, and a person following a survivor in the UK.
When this came to my attention, we reactivated the files. So yes, that investigation will be ongoing. I can't really say too much more at this point, but we are going to continue this investigation. I know a lot of members of the state legislature and other people here in Florida would like to see some resolution and ideally account.
Last year, the city predicted a $28.5 million budget shortfall by 2030. Since then, the city has cut positions and tightened spending to reduce that number by more than half by 2030, and expects a slight surplus for the next year.
Francisco Javier Ravelo, 36, a former contractor for the U.S. Air Force in Florida, admitted in Miami federal court that he distributed videos over the internet that showed someone mutilating the private parts of primates for sexual gratification on at least 42 occasions between September 2024 and February 2025.
Two boys, ages 12 and 13, were charged by a grand jury as adults in the brutal rape of a 12-year-old girl in the garden area of a Miami apartment complex over the summer. Both boys were booked into Metro West Detention Center Thursday on charges including sexual battery with serious injury, false imprisonment and kidnapping.
This year, conference-goers traded pictures and videos of the US men's hockey party at the local club E11even on Monday night. The team flew in from the host country of the Winter Olympics, Italy, and left the next morning, providing a clean metaphor for the entire week: Miami is a getaway, not a home.
Inter Miami was playing Ecuador's Independiente del Valle in Bayamón when a fan ran to the center circle and grabbed Messi by the waist before both were pulled down by a security guard. Messi appeared to be unharmed. The Argentine star immediately got up and walked to another part of the pitch as security multiplied in a bid to prevent anyone else from reaching the forward.
Palantir Technologies Inc.'s surprise announcement that it's moving from Denver to Miami is even more surprising because, at least initially, it's going to be anchored at a co-working space. A regulatory filing lists the company's principal executive offices at an Industrious co-working location in Aventura, about 17 miles north of downtown Miami, suggesting the headquarters transition may be unfolding in stages as longer-term plans take shape.
The Angels announced that they have claimed right-hander Osvaldo Bido off waivers from the Marlins. Miami had designated Bido for assignment last week when they acquired Bradley Blalock from the Rockies. The Halos have an open 40-man roster spot for this claim but their agreement with infielder Yoan Moncada is not yet official. By filling up their last 40-man spot today, they will now have to make a corresponding move whenever Moncada's deal does become official. More to come.
The Miami Marlins acquired right-handed pitcher Bradley Blalock from the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in exchange for minor league right-hander Jake Brooks. Blalock was designated for assignment by the Rockies last week to open a roster spot after Colorado finalized an $8 million, one-year contract with right-hander Michael Lorenzen. The addition of Blalock adds depth to Miami's pitching staff after the Marlins traded Edward Cabrera to Chicago and dealt Ryan Weathers to the New York Yankees earlier this month.
"Myron is our energy. I don't know how to really describe Myron," Heat captain Bam said with a smile. "You just have to hang around him. He's the person that has this 'kid energy.' You know when kids that run around all day and you're always looking at them like, 'I wish I had that much energy.' He is that."
So you couldn't score a wildly expensive ticket to Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship game between the Miami Hurricanes and Indiana Hoosiers. Well, you're not alone, and so what? There are still plenty of ways to cheer on the home team, which last won a national title in 2002, at official CFP events and watch parties popping up at bars, clubs and restaurants throughout South Florida.
It's the number Miguel Cabrera wore for almost his entire Marlins career. So as we said at the top, obvious call. Cabrera made the switch to No. 24 after winning a World Series championship, evidently deciding the previous number was unlucky after he failed to win the NL Rookie of the Year award, and never looked back. Four years wearing it for the Marlins, four All-Star appearances, four years with MVP votes.
It looked improbable two months ago. Two years ago - impossible. But against the odds, Miami and Indiana have a date in the College Football Playoff final - a first-of-its-kind matchup on Jan. 19 in the second national title game of the expanded-playoff era. The Hoosiers (15-0), the top-seeded favorite in the 12-team tournament, stomped Oregon 56-22 on Friday night to reach the final. The Hurricanes (13-2), seeded 10th and the last at-large team to make the field, beat Mississippi 31-27 the night before.
Miami is a hotbed for avant-garde fashion, design, and art, which is why people flock to the tip of the Florida peninsula every year to navigate the crowds at Art Basel and Design Miami. History buffs can explore architecture from the 1920s at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, stroll the Deering Estate house museum, or study up on Miami's urban and environmental design at the Coral Gables Museum.
