By no means did he say that an individual cannot make it; just that it is necessary to acknowledge that the government and taxpayers’ money pay for the infrastructure and the assurance of political stability necessary for businesses to emerge and grow.

Brian Steele: After working at the Alligator for nine semesters, I can confidently say that this student-run paper has the most passionate, dedicated, and hardest working staff I have ever seen, and that includes the organizations I have worked for post-graduation. We worked for less than minimum wage, but we did so because we cared. A lot. I will be very disappointed in my alma mater should this go through. What is to gain from this? Limiting the voice of students? As a top-notch university, which I believe UF is, is this really the way to develop young minds to go into their chosen fields? Diversity should be clear for all to see, not hidden in the corner.
While the Alligator certainly has problems of its own at the moment, they obviously pale in comparison to the horrible incident at “The Dark Knight Rises” premiere in Aurora, Colo., last week. That brings us to this week’s our-thoughts-go-out-to-everyone-affected-by-this-tragedy edition of...
This week, I am so sickened and saddened by the cinema shooting in Aurora that it’s difficult to navigate my thoughts on the matter in a coherent fashion. Senseless acts like this boil down to something that not all psychologists and sociologists will admit exists: genuine evil.
Tune into a family sitcom, and I guarantee you will catch that scene at some point. It’s the job of sitcoms to portray everyday struggles and to teach us how to deal with them.
Several minutes after midnight on July 20, the premiere of the film began. In Aurora, Colo., moviegoers’ viewing was cut short when James Holmes, dressed in what looked like SWAT team armor, allegedly burst into a theater and let loose rounds of ammunition into the crowd.
In a July 9 article in the New York Times, Scott Shane reports that amid the chaos of the Arab Spring and the ascent of the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt’s presidency, the United States now finds itself contemplating new friendships in the region. What those friendships will now entail, according to Shane, are newly brokered relations between the U.S. and hard-line Islamist regimes in the area.
President Barack Obama made that statement at a speech in Roanoke, Va., last week. This quote is making the rounds on conservative blogs and on social media websites.
As a passionate, self-proclaimed feminist, I have a problem with the recent uproar resulting from Daniel Tosh’s decision to respond, rather menacingly, to a female heckler at one of his shows.
The 2012 presidential election is coming up soon and both sides are gearing up for an all-out battle. President Obama and the Democrats have been working overtime to win over groups like the LGBTQ and immigrant communities, while the Republicans have been tirelessly working toward systematic voting purges.
This is what stand-up comedian Daniel Tosh allegedly said to a woman during a show last week, according to an anonymous friend of Tumblr user “breakfastcookie.”
The Iranian economy and the Iranian government’s finances have been suffering under the most crippling economic sanctions of Iran’s post-revolutionary history.
Is anyone else counting down the release of “The Dark Knight Rises”? If you aren’t excited about what will likely be the most epic movie of the year, we hope you enjoy our oh-well-that’s-cool-I-guess-hope-you-enjoy-Adam-Sandler’s-”That’s My Boy” edition of...
After reading the response column by UF alumnus William Deich maintaining that President Obama was not responsible for the state of the economy, I wanted to make a few things clear.
On Monday, United States Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), officially won his battle against the now-infamous synthetic drug bath salts — the substance that supposedly caused Rudy Eugene to eat a man’s face on a causeway in Miami back in May.
Self-image and self-esteem are two incredibly important qualities that need nurturing basically forever. But it is much harder to keep a positive outlook on those traits when you’re a girl.
In a study by Dr. Daniel Klein at the Kaiser Permanente in northern California, higher rates of coronary heart disease have been found in patients with HIV. With already-high rates of heart disease, more research and policy must be directed toward these health initiatives.
We hope you enjoyed the fireworks and Fourth of July celebrations as much as we did. Unfortunately, we have no fun holiday to look forward to until Halloween.
