NEVER EVER defer your meal plan at UF. First off, it only says in very fine print that you don't get DB Bucks (money you can use at the fast food places on campus, so you don't have to eat the cafeteria food all the time) until your scholarship money comes in. Then, after UF releases your money (the extra money is in my bank account already!), it still takes like 2 weeks for the Dining services to get it in order to release the hold. So it takes almost a month to be able to spend the money you defered. Argh!!!!!!

Now this is cool for all the political junkies. This guy has made up a short article with links to all the various C-Span websites. So now you can not only watch all the House and Senate proceedings, but now all the Senate committee hearings. So if you're really hardcore, you can skip all the media spin, and go straight to the source. It's times like this that I LOVE the internet, because it's only though the net that this kind of stuff is possible.

Now this is really cool. Quantum gravity has been observed. To quote the article "An experiment with ultracold neutrons shows that their vertical motion in Earth's gravitational field come in discrete sizes." The article is pretty technical, but it's still an interesting phenomenon.
