The health care system that American Indians rely on is a patchwork of half measures and empty promises.
In his Tuesday night speech, President Barack Obama outlined his strategy for the war in Afghanistan.
Carlos Dunlap, Gators star defensive end, looks sad, resigned, and a little pathetic in a mug shot taken early Tuesday morning after police arrested him on one count of DUI.
Your mother’s incessant nagging is no longer the best reason to get a flu vaccine. Now it’s grade concerns that will push students into the vaccine lines. (Let’s face it — health worries are never on the top of the list.)
It may be a little dark on Northwest Eighth Avenue today.
While Florida lawmakers and top state employees are criticizing Congress’ efforts to extend health care to more poor people, they have fought to protect an entitlement of their own: free insurance premiums.
If you’ve just been in a horrible car accident and you’re bleeding to death on a surgeon’s table, would you refuse a blood transfusion from a gay man?
The mass turkey exodus seems to begin earlier each year. Judging by the surprisingly low volume of angry letters in our inbox Tuesday, it looks like most of our faithfully vengeful readers have already flown the coop. We feel abandoned. Because campus is quiet enough to hear our hearts break at this shortage of students to enrage, we’re happy to present you with a we’ll-have-to-be-twice-as-offensive-to-make-up-for-the-difference edition of...
When the Dove World Outreach Center, a local church, chose its name, the story of Noah must have come to mind.
Last week, a federal judge in Tallahassee approved a settlement in an environmental suit that requires the EPA to set nutrient limits for lakes, streams and creeks in Florida.
It has been said that the Internet can take a person anywhere. However, for someone like Anesia Burns, an engineering major, the Internet offers a direct link to heaven.
Last week was unusually slow for the Department of Darts and Laurels. In light of this, we made a (desperate?) plea for Gators to go out and make some real news. While we doubt that the overwhelming response was due entirely to the public pity party we held for ourselves last week, we think it helped. So now, inundated with news, we would like to present you with a be-careful-what-you-wish-for edition of:
Tuesday’s Student Government vote on the proposed Reitz Union expansion has stirred up almost as much interest (and as many impassioned letters and Web site comments) as SG’s pending decision on a resolution denouncing the Goldstone report, the controversial UN report alleging Israeli war crimes.
Several weeks ago, I showed up to my friend Katie’s house to watch TV.
This week, Congress is taking up the issue of the Cuba travel ban, part of an embargo started against the communist country in 1960. For nearly 50 years, it has been effectively illegal for Americans to travel to Cuba.
Conservative horror stories about Obamacare run amok are finally coming true in the minds of some.
A recent study by UF professor Bonnie Morad, in cooperation with the RAND Corp., a nonprofit research institution, revealed that veteran support for the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy has fallen sharply since it was introduced in 1993. By 2006, only about 40 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans supported it — down from 75 percent in 1993.
The human cost of the Afghan war has risen sharply in recent months, as evidenced by the headlines that appear all too frequently. But the financial cost of the war, another mounting problem, has received less coverage.
This week the world celebrated momentous changes in history, and America celebrated some changes of its own. By contrast, things have been a little slow around the Alligator; the most noteworthy thing to happen this week is the mysterious disappearance of the friendly rats that live in our walls (if you’re reading this, we miss you). These epic world events only make the mundane state of affairs in Gainesville harder to bear. With that in mind, we are happy to present you with a don’t-let-the-small-town-blues-get-you-down edition of...
“They think Gainesville is their personal toilet... coming from behind shows what kind of garbage they are.” These are the words that Gainesville Police spokesman Keith Kameg used to describe five individuals arrested for attacking police at a Fest after party on Nov. 1.
