After a cocktail party last Wednesday, Chi Zhang stabbed Dr. Morpho in the neck with a pair of scissors.
It is clear that Chris Moody, despite his attempts to seem educated and informed, is exactly the opposite. Like most opponents of Arizona’s new immigration law, SB1070, he has clearly never even read the actual bill.

For the last two weeks, I have given advice for incoming UF students to use as they acclimate themselves to university life.

When Mike Strother was a kid growing up in the 60s, he wanted to be so many things. He liked science. He pictured himself as a biologist, a chemist, an astronomer and finally an astronaut.
In a quarter swarming with high-profile sequels like “Red Dead Redemption” and “Super Mario Galaxy 2”, it may have been easy to overlook an original game for something flashy, familiar and safe. To overlook “Alan Wake,” however, is a fool’s mistake that should be rectified immediately.
Singers and guitarists Brian Cag, right, and Anthony Li, left, both of Action Item, a five-piece pop band from New Jersey, belt it on stage at 1982 on Saturday. Avenue writer Alex Orlando interviewed the band and had his own opinions of the show. "Gainesville's a hard nut to crack for out-of-town performers. Action Item stood out in the way it interacted with the crowd because of its teen pop sound. The band typically opens for thousands of screaming girls at Justin Beiber concerts, so it seemed out of place playing in front of 30 beer-drinking college kids. Sweat-drenched and tired, they returned to the tour van with disappointed looks on their faces." Action Item's new album, "The Stronger The Love," is set to be released on Aug. 2.

Like an episode of “Deadliest Warrior,” Florida saw its own battle between two epic foes Tuesday, this one during a special legislative session called to pass a measure that would put the question of banning oil drilling on the November ballot. In The Florida Legislature vs. Charlie Crist, I have to give this one to the Legislature, and a quick kill it was—about 55 minutes, to be exact.
Rum. Australians overthrew their government for it. The Royal Navy got a daily ration of it until 1970. George Washington demanded it at his 1789 inauguration. Although it’s been around for 100 years, we still drink it like there’s no tomorrow.
The second half of the alligatorSports’ preseason top 10 poll begins with our No. 5 team, the Nebraska Huskers.
