A story that appeared in Monday’s paper incorrectly identified Bethany Koch as the president of Shakespeare in the Park. Joseph Sweeney is the club’s president. Koch is one of the club’s directors.
If you're late, you're old news. Sorry, but that's just how a press release works.
I often experience what my dad refers to as “monkey mind.” When I try to focus on one thing, I become distracted by my thoughts or by something else that catches my eye. My thoughts shift around like a monkey swinging through a forest. While it would be easy to resign myself to poor attention skills forever, there are ways that people can change their behavior and habits, including their attention. According to research in the field of neuroscience, behavioral interventions can cause lasting changes within the brain.
TAMPA — After a year filled with clutch shots in big moments, there was little surprise when the Gators turned to Erving Walker with their season on the line.
After two consecutive dramatic comebacks and a gem featuring few offensive highlights, the top-ranked Gators won their eighth straight game Sunday, capping off a stellar week with a 7-3 drubbing of No. 5 LSU in Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
Instead of cats and dogs or stacks of money, it will be raining three-pointers tonight in Fort Myers.
Despite their best efforts, the Gators were unable to recapture last year’s glory.

First off, I must say I generally don’t read Tiffany Miles’ letters because, overall, I find their content to be dull and presented in a condescending manner.
There are moments in time when I am immensely proud to be a Florida Gator. Thursday was one of them. No, it wasn’t due to many students’ impressive performances on St. Patty’s Day. It wasn’t even due to our dominance in basketball. It was due to the sight I witnessed at the candlelight vigil in commemoration of the disaster in Japan. Hundreds of students sat huddled in the Reitz Union Amphitheatre. There were students from all communities and cliques. Unity prevailed as all the students joined in praying for those affected by the tragedy and committing to doing all they can to help. We heard emotional tales of those here who know individuals who lost their homes and even their lives. Though the words were in Japanese, the emotion transcended language and generated compassion from all in attendance.
The president must understand our fears about the situation in Libya. Why else would he stress his understanding of the risks of any military action? Why would he emphasize and repeat his intentions of keeping U.S. troops off Libyan soil? Obama is seeing what we’re seeing — a frighteningly familiar scenario of international forces intervening in a country on the brink, complete with the undertones of terrorism and the memorable words of a crazy dictator. We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it goes. Or do we?
While the Florida ticketing office may find it surprising that their 75 student tickets allotted for the UCSB and UCLA games didn’t sell out, I’m certainly not. Expecting students to pay $154 up front to watch the Gauchos and Bruins is asinine.
