By Teresa Wood | February 28, 2005

Doesn't Charlottesville in February sound like the perfect place for summer vacation? For José Luis Incio, a fourth-year Law student at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru, it's just that -- except this vacation is of more significance than most, because Incio is at the University to discuss his experiences with terrorism in Peru. The University is presenting a series of events about the 20 years of violence and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación.

Giving bikes, getting smiles

By Demetra Karamanos | February 24, 2005

For some University students, bicycles arouse feelings of envy. As bikers whiz by them, students may wonder why they can't ride a bike to Cabell, thus cutting their walk time to class in half. Yet bikes may arouse feelings of envy in the hearts of some Charlottesville residents for other reasons: They don't have the means to buy or repair a bike.

By Mary Griffin | February 21, 2005

This weekend, the Virginia Poker Association convened for its first annual Virginia Poker Championship, a two-day tournament of Texas Hold'Em.
