Kyle Cavanaugh, UF senior vice president for administration, will leave in January to lead human resources at Duke University.
America has voted. These long months of political tumult and impassioned debate have finally culminated into a moment of truth, reaching a climax of presidential proportions.
After Florida's 27 electoral votes went to President-elect Barack Obama, contributing to his road to victory, some may wonder how the peninsula turned so blue.
Crammed into Nick Greene's sound-proof bedroom, Boss Lady and the Company played a few of their original tracks Thursday night. Instead of awkwardly standing around explaining what they're about, the band members decided to show it.
In "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," lifelong friends Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) find themselves on the verge of bankruptcy and can't seem to make the awkward newly adult years work for them. Barely able to keep a roof over their heads, the two find themselves working minimum wage jobs just to cover expenses. Left without any other option, they decide to make, as the title would suggest, a porno. With the help of a strangely assorted cast and crew assembled from the bottom tier of society, the two set to work, finding out along the way that they might have feelings for each other beyond friendship.
Sitting on the floor against the wall in the Reitz Union Grand Ballroom, I had separated myself from the masses and slowly began to grasp what President-elect Barack Obama's victory meant to the black students at UF.
Going to overtime never crossed Becky Burleigh's mind.
You better hope Nick Calathes really likes to play point guard.
Via a lucrative contract, "Black Ice" sells exclusively through Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. No big deal - we already knew AC/DC was in tight with Satan. Of more importance, after an eight-year sabbatical, the Australian metal titans still rest their laurels on a time-tested principle as fundamental to rock 'n' roll as the band itself: play three chords and let the truth do the rest. "Rock 'N Roll Train" sounds like the classic here, aiming for and achieving a big thrills, no frills anthem best played loud. Likewise, the power-chord manifestos "War Machine" and "Rock N Roll Dream" reaffirm the Young brothers' status atop the riff-rock hierarchy. There are no variations, no pointless detours and, really, no need. The Highway to Hell is a one-way street.
Earlier this year, Rehab's "Bartender Song (Sittin' At a Bar)" made the leap from jukebox phenomenon to Hot 100 entry. Now Danny Boone, mastermind of the honky hip-hoppers, finds himself on the cusp of fame. On Nov. 8, Rehab will play alongside bands such as Hinder and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at the Planetfest, a music festival in Jacksonville. Has life changed? How could it not? Says Boone, "We've got more beer than we've ever had in our life."
The legendary reggae-punk band Sublime may have collapsed in 1996, but their legacy is far from dead.
Last week I think everyone had a WTF moment. Cold? In October? In Florida? No way! It was definitely a surprise to wake up and have it be 30 degrees outside. I mean come on, Mother Nature, we're not North Carolina. We're Florida - it shouldn't get cold here. Thankfully, it seems to have warmed up for now, but the cold weather got me thinking: Winter is approaching. And what better way to celebrate the upcoming winter season than discussing one of my favorite accessories: scarves.
She was on a new campus, in a new country, surrounded by strangers and not allowed to play the sport she's been playing since her early teens.
UF backup quarterback Cameron Newton is in a neck brace after his car rear-ended by a truck on Tuesday, coach Urban Meyer said.
UF coach Billy Donovan announced Wednesday that sophomore point guard Jai Lucas will be transferring from the program.
As a heterosexual female, facing my gay best friend after Amendment 2 declared him inferior ruined my post-election celebrations. What am I supposed to say, "Better luck next time"? Unfortunately, this isn't an Ole Miss game.
With No. 5 UF coming to Nashville on Saturday, Vanderbilt will take any help it can get.
While some may argue the terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice" are equally poor choices in rhetoric for how they describe abortion, I would like to go straight to the heart of the debate and shed some light as to why one expression makes more sense than the other. Abortion is about life and the value of it. While the issue certainly has social, economic and ethical components, none of this matters if a fetus is considered a life.
Lots of chatter coming out of Montreal these days. With Arcade Fire on hiatus and Of Montreal not actually of Montreal, Land of Talk now generate the most noise in this ice-cold indie hotbed with dense, groove-oriented music evocative of Neil Young in all his "Ragged Glory." On "Some Are Lakes," atop layers of distortion and heavy-handed drumming, Elizabeth Powell offers up cryptic poetry about the perils of darkness in a gentle, inflection-free tone. Perhaps her singing lacks emotional resonance, or maybe the pounding rhythms simply drown her out. In this case, it lacks volume, though she does speak up on "Young Bridge." Chiming guitars and harmony galore give way to the line "There's no light underneath you," another mystery phrase that deserves a follow-up question: Is Land of Talk in fact saying anything?
A group of University Police officers entered the Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity house Monday night to find 36 pledges kneeling shirtless on the floor of the basement.
