Tim Ajmani The Corsair Before the 2011 NBA season began, all of the talk and focus was on the offseason events surrounding the Miami Heat’s coup of snaring three free agent all-stars. The trio of Dwayne Wade, Lebron James, and Chris Bosh was being hailed as the next superpower of the NBA. People were proclaiming...

Tim Ajmani The Corsair The famous philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli once discussed a concept whether it is better to be feared than loved regarding a leader in power. Machiavelli’s ideas mostly come up when discussing political polices like dictatorship, or when something is accomplished through whatever means are deemed necessary. It is interesting, however, when the...

Tim Ajmani The Corsair The very first thing that I talked about when I joined the Corsair was about how political parties are separating and tearing the United States apart. I said Americans weren’t concerned about Americans; they are concerned about Democrats and Republicans. While this likely won’t change any time soon, at least we...

Dylan Threadgill The Corsair My first thought after I was told that the college was implementing a Bright Ideas Week at Pensacola State College was ‘what about the students?’ After hearing of little feedback from staff I decided to ask students that exact question. “What do you think would make Pensacola State…better?” Holly Dunn, a...

WILLIAM BEARD – The Corsair You don’t have to live in Silicon Valley to start and grow a successful tech startup. Boston, New York, Austin, and even our neighbors over in Tallahasse, at Silicon Tally, are all trying to incubate the latest and greatest ideas in technology. Recently, I sat down with a local developer...

The months between January and August are terrible for the majority of us sports fans. We rely on football, either pro or college, to give us our entertainment on the weekends, after a long week from work or school. We miss the thrills of week to week drama (and joke) that is the BCS in...

TIM AJMANI – The Corsair Florida state senators made a critical decision this past Wednesday to kill the proposal for firearms on college campuses. That is definitely good and all. But the bigger issue is this – why was this even necessary in the first place? Common sense should have prevailed here. To the normal...

TIM AJMANI – The Corsair The earthquake was bad enough – a 9.0, one of the strongest in Japanese history. But the tsunami and the 7.1 quake in aftershock that followed were even worse. Now, Japan is dealing with potential problems in the future with nuclear meltdowns, and radiation following a couple of explosions at...
