A UF professor was arrested and charged with sexual assault, stalking, unarmed burglary and burglary with assault or battery Sunday night after allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriend.
Just so you know, "Up" is a play based on the life and family of a man who tied balloons to a lawn chair and ended up 16,000 feet in the air, not a stage adaptation of the 2009 Disney-Pixar cartoon with the same name. As long as you know this, you probably won't be confused for the entire first act by the lack of old men, little boys and flying houses. Not that I was. I can just imagine the confusion it might cause.
When it comes to playing time, one player's setback is another player's opportunity.
In regards to the "Twilight" article, I agree that the series has no literary value. But then again, I have heard no one in my daily travels claiming that it is of literary merit. To attack something that isn't even claimed to be "literary" seems like too much wasted effort to me. I read the books when I was a freshman here, and I thought they were very entertaining. That was the goal, right? They had the same effect on me that "Harry Potter" did, to be perfectly honest, mainly because I didn't think "Harry Potter" was high-quality writing either. And although "Wuthering Heights" may be great writing, when was the last time anyone lost themselves in that book?
Breaking up has never looked so damn good.

There won't be any tailgating. There won't be anyone scalping tickets. There won't even be alcohol, much less drunk fans playing beer pong along University Avenue with ESPN blaring from a TV in the background.
In a few years, Sarah Palin will be a hot forty-something with her own little media empire. The thing we may remember most about Sarah Smile, though, could be the way she hijacked the multifaceted debate about end-of-life care and turned the whole thing into a screaming match about government "death panels."
Zach Mayo's column in Tuesday's Alligator, "UF should keep cheap food options," should set off a firestorm of protests and lead to the canning of whoever is responsible for these exploitive food prices. There is no reason for the prices they gouge from students at UF, except greed.
The Gators' new no-huddle offense could win them the national championship.
Gators can shop 'til they drop without dropping serious dough this evening at Fashion's Night Out.
It is not difficult to describe the palpable excitement of a Gators game day here in Gainesville. Imagine the day you were born and the first time you looked into your mother's eyes. The true and immediate comfort. The sense of belonging. Game day is like that, but with more orange.
Police resumed the search this morning for a driver who was ejected into Paynes Prairie Wednesday afternoon after a crash.
Nail me to the cross because I'm about to say something not exactly flattering to the vast majority of the Alligator readership.
Instead of working odd jobs, getting an internship or taking classes this summer like a normal college student, I decided to go to the Middle East. I spent the majority of my time in the West Bank, even though the U.S. Department of State advised to stay clear of the Palestinian territories. What I saw has completely changed my views and understanding of American foreign policy in the Middle East.
