Florida isn’t spending too much time worrying about the garnet-and-gold monkey on its back.
The Florida women’s cross country team achieved its preseason goal Monday but left the NCAA Championships less than satisfied.
It may be early in the season, but the Florida women’s basketball team is using its performance in Pittsburgh, an 81-58 loss on Friday, as a wake-up call.
This past weekend, Florida battled seven teams in the three-day Georgia Tech Invitational. The Gators left Atlanta with a bitter taste in their mouths when both men’s and women’s teams came up short behind Florida State.
With the economy in shambles and unemployment rates at their highest since the early 1980s, the face of hunger is changing in Alachua County.
UF's Levin College of Law ranked eighth nationally and fourth among public schools in a recent law school ranking based on the number of high-caliber lawyers, or Super Lawyers, produced.
Under the colored lights of the Orange & Brew stage, Nilson Ramirez told a crowd of about 50 that he still loved his second-grade teacher.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a federal lawsuit Monday on behalf of the Dove World Outreach Center claiming the Alachua County school district’s policy against anti-Islamic T-shirts intrudes upon the wearers’ freedom of speech.

When the Dove World Outreach Center, a local church, chose its name, the story of Noah must have come to mind.
HUDSON LEARNED TO CARVE WHEN HE WAS A MERCHANT MARINER.
This is in response to Monday’s article, “UF study shows religious left more active.” I am glad that someone has finally said something. I have been waiting to hear this for a long time. It is true that not all Christians are Republican. Many of the Christian students I know are conservative when it pertains to issues such as abortion and gay marriage but are as interested or more in historically liberal-leaning causes, such as better health care and education for this nation’s poor. One of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shall not kill.” I believe there are other ways to kill that are just as important as the abortion issue, ways that are completely ignored in the Republican arena.
This letter is in response to Dayme Sanchez’s recent opinion piece, “Cuban embargo should remain in place.”
This is in response to Monday’s editorial about the Environmental Protection Agency and nutrient limits for Florida’s rivers and lakes. In case you didn’t know, FDEP (the Florida Department of Environmental Protection) has passed down this year nutrient limits for nitrogen and phosphorus present in Florida waterways like the St. Johns River.
In response to Nicole Martingano’s letter yesterday, I can only say that I wholeheartedly agree that anyone can be a drunken driver. After all, the first thing you learn in driver’s ed is how the immediate effect of alcohol is not the slight dizziness so many students seem to enjoy, but the lack of judgment. (Drunken texting, anyone?)
With the current stimulus plan showing few signs of creating real economic stability, maybe the leaders of the free world should take a look back a few centuries.
Thank you, Editorial Board, for writing the “Party Poopers” editorial in Monday’s paper. You were dead on. Those stupid, cautionary senators, Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman, need to keep their mouths shut so we liberals can ram through health care legislation we think is appropriate. If any Democrat questions whether it’s financially sound, screw ‘em! They can join those loser Republicans, who for eight years got to be fiscally irresponsible. Well, now it’s our time, damn it. Who cares if we’re in a recession?
For many first years, the Thanksgiving holiday is the first real opportunity in the semester to go back home. And thus, it’s often the first real opportunity to have what I call a “Garden State moment.”
