Lee Habeeb is showcasing compelling stories of the American people from his radio program’s headquarters in Oxford, Mississippi. The New Jersey native [and UVA Law graduate] built an immense national following of listeners. Whether his focus is best-selling author Stephen Ambrose, a memorial service of a lawman broadcast during National Police Week or a profile of the late NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant, his stories shine.
According to Brad Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, it makes sense that celibate couples would value a more expeditious wedding than their non-celibate counterparts. Overall, the number of couples waiting until marriage to have sex has declined in recent years, Wilcox said, and many who value celibacy or abstinence do so in response to modern dating culture and its dating apps, casual hookups, and indecisive singles. There are "folks who I think become disillusioned with the character of romantic relationships and sexual relationships today an...
Matt Olsen, Uber Technologies Inc.’s chief trust and security officer and a veteran of Washington’s national security circles, is expected to be nominated to serve as head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, according to people familiar with the matter. In addition to his job at Uber, he is also currently a lecturer at Harvard Law School and an adjunct professor at the University of Virginia School of Law.
In the modern era, third parties have never been able to do more than act as a “spoiler” in presidential elections by siphoning off votes from one of the two major parties and have sent only a tiny number of lawmakers to the House or Senate in the past 70 years — never achieving significant levels of power. “The history of third-party movements in the United States is that usually, they end up just getting absorbed into one of the two major parties,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “That, or they’re essentially made ...
Previous evidence of the prevalence of this in children and youth with a seizure disorder have yielded mixed results. On one hand, some studies have suggested that CBD use in youth can delay the start of puberty or lead to pubertal arrest. Other studies have indicated that it elevates testosterone levels in male users in the long-term. “This boy undoubtedly had central precocious puberty by clinical and laboratory findings,” said Dr. Alan Rogol, a professor emeritus of pediatrics and endocrinology at the University of Virginia. He added this is “quite uncommon in boys.”
“Ti Liv Kreyol” was created by Mayeux, educator Herbert Wiltz, and University of Virginia linguistics lecturer Nathan Wendte. An expanded second edition came out in 2020 with the help of an additional co-author, Adrien Guillory-Chatman. While Wendte was not directly involved with Woolaroo, he praised the app as a vital tool for preserving the Louisiana Creole language. “One of the most important parts of revitalizing a language is expanding the domains in which it can be used (e.g., apps and social media),” Wendte said. “This makes a statement that this language is not dead. … It is not just o...

Their research is already receiving high praise. “I fervently hope that Southwestern archeologists will adopt this approach and do so quickly. It just makes so much sense,” said Stephen Plog, emeritus professor of archaeology at the University of Virginia and author of the book “Stylistic Variation In Prehistoric Ceramics.” “We learned a ton from the old system, but it has lasted beyond its usefulness, and it’s time to transform how we analyze ceramic designs.”
“The degree of sheer violence has become extreme,” said Robert Fatton, a professor of government and foreign affairs at the University of Virginia. Fatton, author of multiple books about Haiti, said the unresolved political and economic crisis that has plagued Haiti in the post-Duvalier period since 1986 has fostered insecurity. “We’ve had moments like that, but I think we have a more intense moment of state incapacity to do anything about it,” Fatton said.
Louisiana is at the heart of a United States Supreme Court decision where the justices ruled 6-3 Monday that prisoners convicted by non-unanimous juries before the practice was barred do not need to be retried. The ruling is impacting roughly 1,500 inmates who had been hoping for a new trial. “One of the points we were hoping the Supreme Court would recognize is that this isn’t just a racist relic of the Jim Crow past that hurt black defendants, but it was also one that hurt black jurors,” said Thomas Frampton with the University of Virginia.
Rajkumar Venkatesan, a professor of business administration at the University of Virginia, who focuses on analytics, said the consolidation is part of a natural cycle. Streaming platforms offered an unbundled experience that could deliver on-demand content in a better way than cable packages. But now that those experiences are becoming commoditized, they're starting to rebundle. Along the way, some media companies once seen as major players — NBC and CBS among them — can no longer rely on their size. "These are big brands in the old world but they are smaller than Netflix and Disney in the new...
With consumers figuring out which streaming services they use regularly and which they can give up, that depth means a better chance they will use this new one regularly, said Raj Venkatesan, professor of business administration at the University of Virginia. The average U.S. household spends $40 a month on streaming services.
(Commentary by Christoher J. Ruhm, professor of public policy and economics) More than 840,000 Americans died from drug deaths in the past two decades, and 60 percent of those deaths involved opioids. One recent study estimated the societal costs of opioid use disorder and fatal opioid overdoses at over $1 trillion in 2017 alone.
