“You have to offer hope to donors,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of the Crystal Ball, a website of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “For an incumbent, his numbers are dreadful.”
Whether or not the U.S. Supreme Court accepts Utah’s efforts to uphold the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, it is clear, in the words of University of Virginia professor Douglas Laycock: “The conflict between religious liberty and gay rights is bad for both sides and dangerous for the American tradition of individual liberty.”
The World Vision memo will be helpful, though religious organizations would be better protected if the forthcoming executive order included a religious exemption, said Douglas Laycock, a professor of law and religious studies at the University of Virginia.
“This is the closest thing to a Greek tragedy that we’ve had in Virginia politics,” said Larry Sabato, head of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. “The man was talked about as a presidential and vice presidential candidate. He had high popularity in Virginia. For a while, he was seen as potentially one of Virginia’s great modern governors,” Sabato said. “And it’s all evaporated.”
The Democrat’s name brand and deep pockets give him a significant advantage over Gillespie, said Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. “Warner is a known quantity and something of a comfortable shoe for many Virginians and key state interest groups; Gillespie is known only by a relative handful of GOP activists at the state and national level,” Sabato said.
Some marriage experts don’t agree that polyamory’s impact on children is neutral, though. "We know that kids thrive on stable routines with stable caregivers,” said W. Bradford Wilcox, a sociologist and the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. Polyamory can be like a “marriage-go-round,” Wilcox said. “When kids are exposed to a revolving carousel of spouses, that experience of instability and transition can be traumatic.”
What was also obvious in the report was the dissatisfaction marketers feel about their overall financial entitlements. Less than half of all those surveyed, in fact, believe they are fairly paid. “This high degree of dissatisfaction suggests that either CMOs are actually underpaid relative to key benchmarks identified in the report, or that CMOs just believe they are underpaid,” commented report author, Dr. Kimberly Whitler of the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia.
Raygan Batton was only 21 months old when she was first diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a tumor in her brain. The procedures she needed were complicated and expensive. Pediatrics Professor Brian Belyea said "The treatment for high risk Neuroblastoma is complex. It involves high dose chemotherapy, bone marrow transplant, radiation, multiple surgeries, and then finally what she's doing now, immunotherapy." So they turned to the community for help in the form of a festival, and the result was overwhelming. This Sunday was the second "Ray of Sunshine" festival. This year, Ray...

U.Va. engineering professor Andres Clarens is studying how companies could capture carbon dioxide from power plants and transport it back to depleted shale gas wells that have been hydraulically fractured.
The title of The Triumph of Improvisation reflects that Wilson is writing against the backdrop of studies in “Grand Strategy”, as typified by Yale’s popular programme. The author seems surprised that leaders do not operate according to a “master plan”. But he describes artfully the practitioner’s reality of how policy is devised, tried, questioned, reconsidered, adjusted – and continually reargued. Moreover, it is encouraging that Wilson – and his mentors at the University of Virginia – are reviving the discipline of diplomatic history and ...
By Gosia Glinska, a senior researcher at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business. The “Case in Point” was adapted from an original Darden case by Gosia Glinska and Gregory B. Fairchild, an associate business professor.The big idea: In recent years, some tribes have reaped huge profits from their gambling operations. Most American Indians, however, are still mired in poverty, unemployment, addictions, ill health and hopelessness. Is there a way to create a better future in Indian Country? The Citizen Potawatomi Nation found the answer in strong leadership, self-rule and...
In 1654, scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote: “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” Now, there's some science behind that statement. A recent study in the journal Science found that many people choose to self-administer an electrical shock rather than sit quietly in a room alone with their thoughts. Erin Westgate, a PhD student in psychology at the University of Virginia, says she hadn’t seen Pascal’s quote before she and her colleagues conducted the study. But when she first heard it, she laughed hy...
The University of Virginia Medical Center and Martha Jefferson Hospital are among the best hospitals in the state and the region, according to an annual nationwide ranking published recently by U.S. News & World Report.
When the Culpeper Regional Hospital initiated the partnership with the University of Virginia Health System in 2009, Culpeper gained access to resources that have proven essential for community health.

The first place one would expect to see higher wage growth would be in cities and states such as Charlottesville and Virginia, which are economically healthy with unemployment rates well below the national average of 6.1 per cent.
A protracted feud at the University of Texas at Austin seems to have a refrain similar to the 2012 leadership crisis at the University of Virginia.
Graduation rates are a function, in part, of selectivity in college admissions. Rates at the University of Virginia, the College of William and Mary and other elite schools exceed 90 percent no matter how they are analyzed.
