Editorial Fightin’ Florida: We’re taking down Russia or something old onto your seats, folks. Florida might have just done something awesome. It’s at the expense, though, of Russian lawmaker Vladimir A. Pekhtin. H“A senior lawmaker from Russia’s ruling party, who was also the chairman of Parliament’s ethics committee, resigned from the legislature on Wednesday over revelations that he owned more than $1.3 million worth of luxury real estate in Florida that he did not list on required disclosure forms,” reported The New York Times. The ethics committee he was in charge of was part of the State Duma, a lower house in Russia’s parliament. “The Duma has been a hotbed of passionate anti-American activity recently, passing laws forcing organizations that receive funds from abroad to register as foreign agents, banning adop- tions by Americans and fl irting with limiting such Western in- fl uences as foreign fi lms,” according to an article by The Wash- ington Post. The fact that the dude in charge of something pretty anti- American owned a whole bunch of luxury property in Florida makes him look so, so bad. He left his position over this whole issue, all because a blogger from the opposition made allega- tions toward his property-owning status. “Last week, Alexei Navalny, an anti-corruption activist, posted compromising photographs and property records show- ing Pekhtin’s name on the deeds to two condos in Miami Beach Column and another in Ormond Beach,” reported The Washington Post. “Pekhtin said the real estate was owned by his son, who lives in the United States, but both names were on the deeds.

And when Georgia Southern “You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.” Florida fell behind by five runs early but fought its way back to grab a late lead. After their rally, the Gators had three chances to win their fourth-straight game. Closer Johnny Magliozzi was one strike away from his third save of the season. He had been unhittable in his previous two outings. “We didn’t play well at all. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.” Kevin O’Sullivan UF coach

The sophomore had cleanup hitter T.D. Davis down in the count 0-2 with a runner on second. Davis sawed off a signature Magliozzi curveball in be- tween third base and shortstop for the game-tying RBI. Ramjit could have been the hero in the bottom half of the inning. The bases were loaded with two outs and a tied score in the bottom of the ninth. The senior struck out on an inside curveball to bring the game into extra innings.
