Of the 1,400 heterosexual couples between the ages of 18 and 46 surveyed, married men and women who reported above-average bedroom action were 10 to 13 times more likely to feel content. Interestingly, however, generosity was found to directly influence this – the more generous the lover, the more sexually satisfied the participant. “What happens outside of the bedroom seems to matter a great deal in predicting how happy husbands and wives are with what happens in the bedroom,” said study researcher W. Bradford Wilcox, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Virginia.
As Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race heats up, incumbent Democrat Bob Casey features a Republican in his new ad, while the GOP candidate, U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, plans to play to his base this week, hosting a rally with President Donald Trump. Larry Sabato, a political scientist and founder of UVA’s Center for Politics, said in an interview Casey’s advantages in name recognition and money make the race an uphill fight for Barletta.
By improving the function of brain vessels, UVA researchers have found a way to control age-related memory loss and other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzeheimer's disease, according to a study of mice.
There are a lot of lessons to be learned from gonorrhea, and University of Virginia researchers are hoping one will lead to an effective treatment for the increasingly antibiotic-resistant venereal disease.
(Commentary by Adam Daniel, senior associate dean for administration and planning, and Chad Wellmon, professor of German language and literature) If the university is to flourish and continue to play a vital role in American life, it needs to reinterpret its democratic legacy.
At UVA, the sustainability team takes proactive measures to deal with what has become a routine waste problem. To manage the excess waste and dispose of it, the university runs Hoos ReUse, a move-out donation drive.
(Commentary co-written by Tim Laseter, a professor at UVA’s Darden School) Park yourself at a typical residential intersection in the U.S., and you’ll watch a parade of delivery vehicles pass by over the course of the day. Transportation companies are riding a powerful wave of new demand for their services. But all this growth brings some peril.
(Commentary by UVA President Teresa A. Sullivan and Donna Price Henry, chancellor of UVA’s College at Wise) Virginia’s rural communities face particular challenges that are more pervasive and more problematic than in Virginia’s more prosperous urban areas.

Teresa A. Sullivan’s books are still on their shelves at her Madison Hall office. Five days before she leaves that office one last time, the eighth president of Mr. Jefferson’s University hadn’t yet found time to pack. She plans to maintain a steady regimen of meetings and events until her final day in office on Tuesday.
Adam Haseley was well-regarded as a two-way baseball player at the University of Virginia. He’s even more well-regarded as a one-way player as a professional. Haseley, an outfielder/left-handed pitcher at UVA, was drafted in the first round (eighth overall) by the Philadelphia Phillies last summer. He’s been an outfielder exclusively while moving quickly through the Phillies’ system. Haseley, 22, was promoted to Double-A Reading 2½ weeks ago, in time to make a trip to The Diamond — where he played against VCU several times — on Thursday.
One of the last details Natalie Romero remembers, before a gray Dodge Challenger plowed into her at a white-supremacist rally in August 2017, was turning around. Then, she said, everything “went blank.”
The special election for the 12th Congressional District looks competitive. Democrat Danny O'Connor is making a run at winning the reliably Republican district against Troy Balderson. It's so close, political handicappers like Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics, think it's a toss-up. This week, he returned to the Ohio Matters podcast to talk about the dynamics of the race.
History suggests voters push against leaving the three branches of government in one party's hands. The University of Virginia's forecast says: "The President's party has lost ground in 36 of 39 House Midterms since the civil war with an average loss of 33 seats ... Since the end of World War II, the average seat loss is 26 seats, or right on the borderline of the 23 net seats the Democrats need to elect a House majority."
Virginia is a major focus. Some leading political odds-makers say one Republican-held seat, Rep. Barbara Comstock’s Northern Virginia district, is leaning Democratic. University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato calls GOP Rep. Scott Taylor’s Williamsburg-to-Virginia Beach district a toss-up, and thinks Henrico Republican Dave Brat’s bid for re-election is as well.
(Commentary by Karl Rove) The savvy “Crystal Ball” election prognosticators, led by the University of Virginia’s Larry Sabato, issued their latest midterm forecast Tuesday. It is sobering for the GOP. The UVA team increased Democrats’ odds in 17 House races and, for the first time this cycle, declared “Democrats are now a little better than 50-50” to flip the lower chamber.
(Commentary) Larry Sabato, a political scientist at the University of Virginia and a political prognosticator, recently suggested the possibility of a modest Democratic tilt — and even then was extremely cautious: Democrats are now a little better than 50-50 to win the House. This is the first time this cycle we’ve gone beyond 50-50 odds on a House turnover.
And so, authorization and fraud detection took place in the bank’s mainframes, while the reader and the card were basically dumb access devices hooked up to a network. This was convenient for customers, but if you were a merchant, not only did you need a special account with a bank that allowed you to transact with cards, but you also had to deal with the whole front-end to that system. As Lana Swartz, a media-studies professor at the University of Virginia and the co-editor of Paid, said to me, in the era before anyone was on the internet, accepting cards required “putting a modem in your sho...
More than 600 people die every year from heat-related illnesses that are preventable, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency estimates more than 65,000 Americans visit an emergency room for acute heat illness each summer. “I think people underestimate how quickly it happens. And when it starts to happen, if someone is progressing to heat exhaustion or heat stroke, you lose your self-awareness,” said Dr. Robert O’Connor, professor and chair of emergency medicine at the University of Virginia. “It’s important to keep an eye on those around you for heat-related pr...
Infants who die under the care of a nanny are also more likely to have objects, such as toys and blankets, in their crib, the research adds. Such items raise the risk of suffocation or strangulation. Study author Dr Rachel Moon, from the University of Virginia, said: “If someone else – a babysitter, relative or friend – is taking care of your baby, please make sure that they know to place your baby on their back in a crib and without any bedding.”
