“Although there is now a growing class divide in who gets and stays married in America, there is virtually no divide in the aspiration to marry,” says W. Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. “It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, white, black or Hispanic. Most Americans are married or would like to marry. The challenge, then, facing the United States is bridging the gap between the nearly universal aspiration to marry and the growing inability of poor and working-class Americans to access marriage.”&nb...

The approach also would be contingent on Iraq’s consent, which it could withdraw,” former State Department lawyer and University of Virginia Law School Professor Ashley Deeks wrote on the Lawfare blog. “As a political matter, it seems doubtful that the United States would find this to be an appealing approach, particularly if it percei...

Companies that lack good procedures can grow themselves into failure, said Ed Hess, the Batten executive in residence at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. “Growth can create or destroy value,” he said. “Growth means more processes, more controls and more people.” In the restaurant industry, Hess said, stringent processes are critical to protecting quality.
A research team at the University of Virginia reports possible progress in fighting ovarian, breast, uterine, renal, head and neck and pancreatic cancers, and if you’re a taxpayer in Virginia, you’re an investor. Dr. John Herr is a specialist in human reproduction, and he’s identified a specific protein on the surface of mature human eggs. Search other places in the bodies of men and women, and you won’t find that protein – unless the individuals in question have cancer. Herr and Dr. Eusebio Pires report the protein, called SAS1B, shows up on many...
Visitors to the Crosspointe Rolls-Royce facility in Prince George County, Virginia, have to don safety glasses and steel-tipped shoes, just as they would at any traditional factory.
