... Can we agree that it's silly to speculate about a full-blown crisis of the Republican party? ... In a year when the Democratic candidate had all the wind at his back that history plausibly had to offer - the economy, the media, the unusual charisma so many perceived in him, a clumsy GOP campaign - Obama won a smaller share of the vote than George H.W. Bush did in 1992 and a full 6 percentage points less than Ronald Reagan did in his true landslide four years before that.
It's important to properly care for your newborn's umbilical cord to prevent infection and related complications. Here are warning signs, courtesy of the University of Virginia Health System, that should prompt you to contact your doctor: ...
The next generation of voters also gave Barack Obama a landslide victory. A mock election involving one million of America's youth–the vast majority of whom are too young to vote–went 60%-36% for Obama. It was also a record turnout for the online, K-12 student-only election hosted by the Youth Leadership Initiative of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. The polls were open Oct. 20-30.
A so-called "anti-frailty" drug has shown promise in a small study, increasing muscle mass in the arms and legs of healthy older adults without causing side effects. ...The study, by researchers at the University of Virginia Health System, involved 65 men and women ranging in age from 60 to 81.
...In today's show, we will relive and reflect on the events of this year's Virginia film festival.
... James W. Ceaser, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, writing in the Claremont Review of Books, notes that, contrary to conventional understanding, the Constitution created not three but four 'national institutions.' They are the Congress, the Supreme Court, the presidency-and the presidential selection system, based on the Electoral College. 'The question of presidential selection,' Ceaser writes, 'was just that important to the Founders.' ...

As the University of Virginia Medical Center continues to expand in order to meet the growing health-care needs of our community, decisions made 20 years ago dictate that we stay at our current location in the heart of Charlottesville. ...there are actually many advantages to us staying in our current location. In summary...
...The scene at UVA echoed efforts by the Obama campaign at college campuses nationwide. Election Day culminated a youth-voter-outreach strategy that began as early as the primaries, and has focused on combining on-the-ground campaigning with technology applications such as the online social network Facebook and text messaging.

Law student who was first in line at the local Venable School polling place
...Around 10 this morning, University of Virginia students streamed in sweatpants along the sidewalk to Venable School, a polling location in the heart of the so-called student ghetto.
... Jason Hogan, a 22-year-old University of Virginia student, said foreign policy also tops his concerns. 'I don't want people to hate me because I'm an American.' The economy comes next for him, and more importantly, Obama's 'spread the wealth' vision. 'I think it's something that needs to happen,' Hogan said. 'Everyone's so proud to be an American but you're not proud to take care of your own.'

This year's Virginia Film Festival may have been the best ever. And we're not just saying that to suck up to festival artistic director Richard Herskowitz, whose imminent departure lent a certain poignancy to the four days of moviegoing.
An oral drug that mimics ghrelin, an appetite hormone, reverses the normal age-related decline in growth hormone and fat-free mass in elderly adults, according to an article in the Nov. 4 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
