CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato says there are a few factors that could help a Republican carry the governorship in Virginia next year.
The political expert believes there is one major advantage the GOP has in the 2021 gubernatorial race that they havenât had in a few years: âThere is no longer a Republican president, or there will not be by June and November, so how President Joe Biden does will have an impact on the November election,â Sabato said.

But adverse events were frequent and persistent, trial shows
Focused ultrasound subthalamotomy improved motor function in Parkinson’s disease, but it also led to multiple adverse events that persisted in some patients, a small randomized double-blind trial found.
“Focused ultrasound subthalamotomy in one hemisphere improved motor features of Parkinson’s disease in selected patients with asymmetric signs,” wrote Raul Martinez-Fernandez, MD, PhD, of CEU San Pablo University in Mostoles, Spain, and co-authors in
. “Adverse events included speech and gait disturbances, weakness on the treated side, and dyskinesia.”
Patients with asymmetric Parkinson’s disease who had motor signs not fully controlled with medication and who were not candidates for deep-brain stimulation surgery were randomized to focused ultrasound subthalamotomy on the side opposite their main motor signs (n=27) or a sham procedure (n=13).

Voting in the 2020 U.S. Election may be over, but the misinformation keeps on ticking. Never stop fact-checking. Follow our post-election coverage here.
On Dec. 23, 2020, the hashtag #pencecard started trending on Twitter as social media users urged U.S. Vice President Mike Pence to use the power they claimed he had to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election:
Despite the popularity of this hashtag, there is no “Pence Card” to play.
For starters, this piece of copy-pasted text claimed that Pence had to act before the “3rd Wed. of Dec,” but this rumor didn’t go viral until the evening of December’s fourth Wednesday. Looking past this simple error, however, we find that this rumor is based on a genuine item in the U.S. legal code, although it doesn’t say what the “Pence Card” rumors claim.
To combat vaccine hesitancy in minority communities we must address past wrongs: Surgeon General Anjalee Khemlani
The coronavirus pandemic has laid bare health inequities around the country, with African Americans disproportionately affected by COVID-19. And studies show African Americans and people of color are leery of getting vaccinated against the disease as the result of past mistreatment, citing the notorious Tuskegee experiment that turned Black men with syphilis into medical guinea pigs.
“We know that a lack of trust has been a major cause of reluctance, especially in communities of color, and that lack of trust is not without reason as the Tuskegee study occurred within many of our own lifetimes,” Surgeon General Jerome Adams said last week.
2020 is finally coming to an end and it’s a year many of us would like to forget. The automotive sector may have been hit hard by dealerships closing, cancelled launches and a host of other unforeseen issues due to you-know-what - but there were plenty of headlines to keep us entertained in the meantime.
There was the announcement that the ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars would jump from 2040 to 2030, which sent shockwaves through the automotive industry. Mitsubishi’s plan to exit Europe was another surprise, while the ongoing furore around the impact of coronavirus and Brexit on the industry gripped us all.
