We welcome you to your new home, Paul D'Anieri. When others dropped out of the dean search after an administration shake-up and pressing budget problems, you decided to remain in the running to be at the helm of the biggest college on the UF campus. Congratulations on your selection. We're glad that you're here.
Members of the mainstream media in this country have been engaged in a nauseating love affair with Sen. John McCain ever since his failed presidential campaign in 2000. During that campaign, the Arizona senator swept the press off of their collective feet with his brash "straight talk," his disarming charm and his self-deprecating sense of humor. Many so-called "journalists" labeled him a "maverick" because he occasionally refused to toe the line of his intellectually and morally bankrupt party. However, this, in and of itself, does not a maverick make. Simply repeating something over and over again does not mean that it's true.
As an adoptee, active in adoption-law reform efforts since shortly after I graduated from UF, I am disappointed that UF would extend an invitation to Diablo Cody to speak at my alma mater.
A federal investigation into the 2006 crash of a private plane that killed three people in Gainesville has determined the cause of the crash to be inconclusive.
Just a few years back, Clifton Hicks was an M1 Abrams tank operator almost 7,000 miles away in Iraq. As an active Army squad member, he'd seen buildings packed with families crumbled and burned. Watched women and children bleed and die. Killed insurgents and civilians alike.
UF football coach Urban Meyer appeared on the Mike Tirico show on ESPN Radio today with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit (yes, I know it's called the Mike Tirico show, but Tirico's out at Augusta covering the Masters for ESPN).
If it is indeed true, the story of the College of Medicine's dean allegedly admitting a student based not on his academic merit but on his connections is dangerous and offensive to College of Medicine students and faculty.
Decked in their drag-queen best, local amateurs and professionals shook their stuff Monday night for a crowd of about 100 in honor of Pride Awareness Month.
After waiting out weather delays on Sunday, the UF men's tennis team fell behind to Alabama early in Monday's match and was unable to recover from the deficit.
Whenever Urban Meyer was asked about Joe Haden, Major Wright or the Pouncey twins last season, he couldn't help gushing like a school girl.
A bill that passed through the Senate Transportation Committee last week would prohibit drivers under the age of 18 in Florida from using a cell phone while driving.
"You need to be fired."
Paul D'Anieri, a University of Kansas official, has been chosen as UF's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences next dean, UF President Bernie Machen announced Tuesday.
UF center Marreese Speights will enter the NBA Draft, coach Billy Donovan said in a statement Tuesday. Speights, a sophomore, will not hire an agent which means he can come back to school if he does not believe he'll be picked high enough or is not comfortable with his situation. Speights was second on the team in scoring and first in rebounding. With several big-man recruits coming in, the Gators would've had decent depth at their bigs, but without Speights that has become much more difficult now.
This isn't the average protester-president square-off.
The scariest part of Dominic Palvisak's Monday letter on the abortion bill came at the end when he disclosed he was a second-year law student. I can understand how the emotion surrounding the abortion issue can lead many to support laws requiring women to seek ultrasounds before obtaining abortions, but this person is studying to be a lawyer.
At a time of the season when the Gators' pitching staff was looking tired and thin, a hurler with a familiar name will join the team.
Jewish and Muslim scholars and religious leaders spoke to UF students and faculty about the need for discussion between religious communities on Monday night.
"You know how proud you were when your wife had that baby girl?" Frank asked.
