There was a buzz around the hallways of Rosenblatt Stadium. Coaches and members of the national media spoke in similar fashions, raving about how young Virginia’s baseball team would be in 2010.

... Reynolds' experience — and that of many others — is prompting researchers at institutions such as the University of Montreal and the University of Virginia to investigate the astonishing proposition that a person might have a consciousness — or (gasp) a soul — that can operate when the brain is off-line.
As in my last two columns, in this column, too, I am writing about an important process of a business school (B-school) that helps in faculty growth: international exposure through exchange programmes. ...

Baseball purists got a kick out of the University of Virginia’s team this season, from the opening games in early spring at Davenport Field to the team’s inspiring run to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb. The ball fans would tell you they loved how this group of Cavaliers could play “small ball” and win games with a 2-1 score in a sport so defined by the ting of space-age bats sending one home run after another into bleachers and parking lots.
WISE — A much-anticipated venue with the potential for economic returns for Wise County and the surrounding area is about to rise on the campus of the University of Virginia’s College at Wise. The college has announced a 1 p.m. groundbreaking ceremony on July 1 to celebrate the start of construction for a $30 million Convocation Center, the largest single capital project in the college’s history.
When you’ve had only seven presidents in 106 years, finding the right person for the job could take a little time and a lot of effort. University of Virginia leaders likely will use consultants, committees and a lot of Internet bandwidth tracking down a replacement for President John T.
