Following the lead of a couple other big universities, UF will soon be getting its own signature scents.
In the spirit of the holidays, President Bernie Machen has chosen to donate $285,000 - the amount of his annual bonus - to a scholarship program.
Ever since the U.S. - err, George and Dick - strong-armed its way into the Middle East under the guise of the tragically flawed Bush Doctrine, Blackwater has reaped the vast financial benefits of government contracts.
