I would like to publicly thank UF President Bernie Machen for moderating the Jewish Awareness Month and Accent show featuring Alan Dershowitz event this past Wednesday evening. UF is lucky to have someone like Machen at the helm of our institution who shared, “If you have not been to Israel, you have not seen the world.”
It’s been a pretty sobering week for us. We’ve been bombarded with stories of budget cuts and constantly reminded of how much money the university, the state and the nation need to stay afloat.
Starting in August, there will be a bus route from The Hub to the apartment complex The Estates.
For the latest frills, flair and everything fashion, check out what our lens caught this week.
Danielle has waited all week to gussy up and get herself ready for her hot night.
A number of meditation centers call Gainesville home. And as meditation becomes more popular as a way to ward off stress, the Avenue wanted to find out the story behind a few of the centers in town.

It’s a weird day in political La-La Land when the Tea Party members and Democrats agree on an issue.
When UF alumna Alexandra Schotanus started doing yoga in 2007, she never thought the hobby would lead to a career in design.
By the time you have read this column, I will have left Gainesville, curled up on my couch back home and put myself into a video game coma. Instead of catching up on new releases during my time off, as I assume many will do, I like playing my favorite games during breaks. I feel as if I’m returning to a time of innocence before papers, projects and deadlines consumed my life. In my opinion, new releases — even the ones your friends rave about — are way too expensive to risk buying. However, if you do happen to have $60 burning a hole in your wallet and want to try something new, here are two new games you should play during your week of freedom.
In the Tuesday editorial, “Surgical Cuts: Proposed budget targets most vulnerable,” you stated that Florida shouldn’t be paying for dentures, eyeglasses or hearing aids because “they don’t support life itself.”
Instant Photoshop is one step closer to reality, but hold off on the celebration.
Geneva Jarvis hasn’t missed a day of work in 25 years.
When we first heard about the 8-1 Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, we were confused.

Whether you're going on a fabulous vacation or just relaxing poolside in your hometown, let's face it: Spring break has finally arrived. Whatever your plans may be, soak up the sun and look great doing it by trying one of these hot swimwear trends:
Although cruising the Caribbean or fist-pumping on the shores of Panama City Beach may sound like a blast — and we’re not saying either isn’t — those staying in town next week don’t have to go far or spend a lot of money to be entertained. Gainesville and its nearby cities have plenty of fun activities to keep you busy during spring break. Check out the Avenue’s top picks:
I see you every day as I commute to school on my bicycle. You’re waiting for the bus. You’re sitting in traffic. You’re driving around in circles looking for a parking space. You’re pumping gas at more than $3 a gallon. You know what I do when I see you? I laugh. And then I get to class on time, without fail.
"Eventually, it snapped in me one day: I gotta record this album, get on the road and play it for people."
It’s one year later, and the Student Body still does not know all the facts behind the Kofi Adu-Brempong incident. But what we do know stinks to high heaven.
