Health systems nationwide have begun implementing a growing array of artificial intelligence tools across clinical care, administrative operations and research. The pace and scope of AI adoption has varied across regions of the United States, with some states moving more aggressively than others.
Opportunity is a word many throw around when referring to college athletics. It's your shot, your chance to make a name for yourself, a name for the school you wear across your chest. As an athlete, you never know when that opportunity might arise — you just know that you must seize it when it does.
Former associate head coach Trevor Dunbar will take the reins of Virginia’s track and field and cross country programs, as announced Friday by Director of Athletics Carla Willliams. A national search will commence to find the next permanent head coach.
Congressional Candidate Tom Perriello (D) and Congressman John McGuire (R) will both cruise to victory in their respective primary elections, and will face each other in the fall General Election Nov. 3.

The AP called McGuire’s race at 7:41 p.m. with 19 percent of votes counted — he had 85.4 percent of votes in CD-5.
During the summer — when free time abounds — the time is ripe to reconnect with family and friends. Baking is one of my favorite ways to bring loved ones together, and these blueberry and raspberry lemon cookies are my go-to treat to bring to any barbecue, pool party or movie night. Easy to bake and packed with flavor, these cookies will leave all of your friends asking for the recipe. Though this treat will be a hit no matter the time of year, it’s especially perfect in the warm months when blueberries and raspberries are conveniently in season.

As the fall term kicks off, one can expect more than the Lawn settling back into its familiar hum or the Bodo’s Bagels line wrapping around the Corner on a Sunday morning. As students return to Grounds, shop for classes and reconnect with their peers, another task is seemingly becoming routine — applying for disability accommodations through the Student Disability Access Center.

The article has been updated to reflect these changes.
As the feverish thrill of the 2026 FIFA World Cup fades into the warm summer air, it is naturally accompanied by the desire to recapture the spectrum of feelings that only sport can create. From the vomit-inducing adrenaline of watching one’s team defend a one-goal lead, to the seemingly inescapable despair of a late equalizer, or the ebb between dread and euphoria as players step up in a penalty shootout, music can remind one of a stadium’s magic if just for a moment.
Virginia’s Dominion Energy and Florida’s NextEra Energy have announced a merger. The proposed electricity behemoth would host 110 gigawatts of power, making it the largest regulated electricity utility company in the nation. This deal has yet to be sanctioned by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as well as federal antitrust agencies, and NextEra Energy has a history of thwarted acquisition efforts. The level of scrutiny exhibited by these previously failed efforts is entirely necessary for this merger. The rise of megawatt-guzzling data centers to support artificial intelligence presents a motive for the ambitious Florida energy company merger, which may result in higher energy bills for consumers and drastic environmental consequences. While there are sophisticated legal efforts to mitigate these concerns, any real examination into the merger reveals a taste for profit at the detriment of Virginians. While Dominion Energy is certainly not the gold standard for energy companies, state regulatory agencies need to halt this merger before Virginians, and others, suffer the effects of a malevolent monopoly. Private companies are not required to look out for Virginians — regulators need to.

Lauded director Christopher Nolan released his 13th feature film, “The Odyssey” July 17. Since the first teaser dropped, this film has been a hotbed of discussion, drawing reactions across the spectrum from excitement to criticism, primarily over certain casting choices. However, with a career-best global opening weekend at the box office for Nolan and overwhelmingly positive critical and audience reception, it looks like smooth sailing for “The Odyssey” into award season — though whether Nolan has fully earned those laurels is less certain.
