We generally use Google as a search engine. We look for things such as, "how to get a six-pack like David Beckham." We may scan the list of results and try, try, try to find the key to landing Posh Spice. Google handles that moment in our lives incredibly well, but that's not all it offers. Because Google is a research tool, a place to find information about anything and everything that will help us pass our papers, it has naturally got a few tricks up its sleeve to help us in our quests. Actually, one of the best research strategies is not to use the front page of Google at all.

Earlier this month a friend of mine e-mailed me a link to activities at the International Center, and I jumped at the chance to cook something for my column.
The corridors of Maury Hall are filled with photos capturing University Reserve Officers Training Corps students from years past.
As a U.Va. student, I have always felt fortunate to go to a large school that still has the close-knit feel of a much smaller one.
Phil McGraw, Maury Povich, Judy Sheindlin together seem to preach one thing: honesty. Honesty in work, honesty in relationships, honesty to ourselves.
The Oscars are less than a week away, and as a pop culture fanatic, I couldn't be more excited. Whenever I turn on the TV, I feel that every preview brags about Oscar-nominated actors, screenwriters and costume designers.

After the devastating attacks Sept. 11, 2001, New York City felt different. The World Trade Center had collapsed, about 2,750 citizens had been killed and the dynamism of individual businesses and the labor market had been virtually suspended.
