A Virginia bill cracking down on distracted drivers has passed the General Assembly.
Once signed by Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, there will be tougher penalties if you text behind the wheel.
Currently, if you text while driving, you could face a $20 fine, but police have to pull you over for another violation first since texting is a secondary offense.
With the passage of this legislation, the fine would increase to $250 and make it a primary offense.
If you get ticketed a second time for texting while driving, the fine goes up to $500.
We've also learned, if a driver is charged with reckless driving as a result of texting, there's also a mandatory minimum $500 fine.

LaMarcus Aldridge to have surgery on hip, done for season
Apr 12, 2012, 4:00 PM EST
We thought this might be a possibility, but the fact he needs surgery kind of made the decision for everyone involved.
After having a specialist look at Aldridge's ailing hip and suggesting surgery after finding "slight abnormalities" the team announced Friday they are shutting the All-Star forward down for the season.
"In his most recent MRI, and following further evaluation, it's been determined that LaMarcus has a slight labral tear and will require arthroscopic surgery," said Acting General Manager Chad Buchanan in a released statement. "LaMarcus' priority is that he's 100-percent healthy going into training camp this fall and we all feel this is the best course. He's had an All-Star year and his long-term health is the most important thing to consider."
Aldridge has been one of the best power forwards in the game the past couple seasons, averaging 21.7 points and 8 rebounds again this campaign. Portland is in a position this offseason, with cap space and draft picks to bring their roster in the post Roy/Oden era. And Aldridge is at the heart of that. So get him right and bring him back next October.

Lawyers have squared off over US rules for granting patents for software, or if software should be patented at all, in arguments in a case closely watched by Google, Facebook and other technology companies.
The full US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard arguments in the case, which involves whether patents for a computerised system for exchanging financial obligations are valid. The case has drawn wide interest because it could help determine parameters for software patent protection.
Disagreement was apparent among the 10 judges on the panel, and experts said they expected a divided decision, which could land the case before the US Supreme Court.
The case began in 2007 when Alice Corp of Melbourne, Australia, sued CLS Bank International for patent infringement. Alice is owned in part by National Australia Bank Ltd.
CLS, which runs a foreign-exchange settlement system, argued that the Alice patents were invalid because they were nothing more than an abstract idea.
Under patent law, an abstract idea - such as the idea of a self-driving car - cannot be patented but the engineering that creates a self-driving car can be patented.
Mark Perry, the attorney who argued for CLS Bank, said that the US Patent and Trademark Office initially rejected one patent as too abstract but did approve it after Alice Corp re-wrote it to add the use of a computer.
But in the case of at least one of Alice's claims, an impatient Judge Kim Moore strongly disagreed. "Wow! This is so far from ... an abstract idea!" she said, referring to a portion of one patent.
Adam Perlman, the attorney who argued for Alice Corp, said that the patent should be held valid because a machine performs the function.
But Judge Timothy Dyk pressed on the question of whether the patent was abstract and whether it was obvious. An idea that is an obvious, small improvement is not considered patentable.
Referring to a system of tallying trades done over the course of a day, he suggested that it may be impossible to do such work without infringing a patent.
Patent experts at the hearing expected a divided ruling.
"I think everyone walked out of the room with the thought that there's a real difference of opinion from those judges," said Erika Arner, a patent attorney with Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP, who is not involved in the case.
In July, a panel of the appeals court agreed with Alice in a 2-1 decision.
Google, Dell and Facebook filed a friend-of-the-court brief criticising the decision, arguing that patents like Alice's do not innovate enough to deserve patent protection. LinkedIn Corp, Twitter and others agreed.
International Business Machines Corp, on the other hand, filed a brief saying most software inventions qualify for patent protection. IBM, which has topped the list of US patent recipients for 20 years, cautioned the court against creating a strict rule that would further limit protection.
The case comes after two Supreme Court decisions involving similar issues of patent eligibility.
In Bilski v Kappos, the high court found in 2010 that a business-method patent for guarding against investment risk was an abstract idea and could not be patented. Last March, in Mayo v Prometheus, the court ruled that a company could not patent a diagnostic process involving blood tests because observations about natural phenomena cannot be protected.
The case is CLS Bank International et al v Alice Corporation Pty Ltd, US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 11-1301.

The Bruins didn't have the fondest memories of Philadelphia as they entered Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night. Thought they couldn't erase what happened last May, a shutout victory over one of the Eastern Conference's top teams had to have been the best salve they could have hoped for.
Tim Thomas turned in what was arguably his best start of the season, stopping 41 shots and a buzzing Flyers offense that was truly relentless to lead the B's 3-0 win (for a complete recap, click here). Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin led the offensive charge with first-period goals, while Milan Lucic, whose play led to Bergeron's unassisted goal, added his 11th of the season on an empty netter late in the third period.
It was just about as big a win as the Bruins could get. Sure, they wanted to avenge a humiliating playoff collapse, but more than anything they just needed a win. That's what they got, and they did it against a team that is tied for the second-most points in the NHL (34).
It would seem the Flyers would be the opponent of choice if the Bruins wanted to shake a 5-6-2 slump with a big team victory. The question remains how they'll follow it up on Thursday, as they have Steven Stamkos and the Lightning waiting for them in Boston.
The Bruins have had home games the night after a road game three times this season, all of which came in November. They're 1-1-1 in those games, the most recent of which was a 4-0 win over the Panthers on Nov. 18.
Here's the Hat Trick:
It's crazy to think that -- assuming he gets the start on Thursday -- Tim Thomas, a former Vezina winner, will have the opportunity to set a career-high in shutouts… on Dec. 2. That's the type of season it's been for Thomas. Just when you think he's come back to earth, he goes out and silences a top-five offense.
The Bruins were the better team overall on Wednesday night, but the Flyers and Thomas deserve credit for how the game started. Philadelphia came out hard and gave Thomas all he could handle on the first shift, and, much like the rest of the night, he left them frustrated.
With Thomas continuing to lead the league in the three big stats for goalies -- goals against average, save percentage and shutouts -- he's putting together personal bests while also on pace to reach numbers rare for goaltenders. The shutout category in particular stands out.
If Thomas were to continue to start and blank teams as often as he has to this point, he would find himself with 18 shutouts at season's end. An excessive extrapolation? But of course. Still, he stands a good chance of notching the most shutouts by a goalie in a season post-lockout.
Steve Mason (2008-09), Henrik Lundqvist (2007-08) and Mikka Kiprusoff (2005-06) each had 10 shutout seasons, but Martin Brodeur's 12 shutouts in 2006-07 stands as the number to beat. For those wondering, George Hainsworth holds the single-season record with 22, a number he reached for the Canadiens in the 1928-29 season in just 44 games.
The idea that Tyler Seguin could take a break from the Bruins to go play in the World Juniors Championships is an interesting one for salary cap purposes. If Marco Sturm is ready to return late in the month, they could activate him and get a test of how well his knee holds up in real game situations without having to make some monster cap-saving move.
Yet with Seguin's goal on Wednesday night, the 18-year-old gave the latest reminder of his ability to go YouTube on opposing goaltenders. Michael Ryder's cool pass to him on a 2-on-1 in the first led to him sending a quick wrister top-shelf on Sergei Bobrovsky for his fifth goal of the season.
If Seguin did play in the tournament, he would be one of the big guns and would probably score more over in Buffalo (the site of the WJC) than he would with the Bruins from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5. Still, that can't really be too much of a confidence-booster for the 18-year-old, and it wouldn't teach him anything he doesn't already know.
Seguin knows he can score. He knows that, unlike last year, Team Canada would love to have him. Judging by his recent comments about his dream to help a team win a Stanley Cup, what he wants is to spend as little time away from the NHL as possible, regardless of how little ice time he gets on the B's at times. If Sturm's return matches up with the WJC, it might be an avenue worth exploring for the Bruins, but it would not be a win-win.
The penalty kill was bad last Friday, but it wasn't as dreadful as the Hurricanes' 3-for-3 day on the power play would suggest. As a result, the numbers were looking pretty awful for the Bruins entering the night -- they had allowed power play goals on four of their last six penalties -- and on Wednesday they helped repair the stats of a unit that had ranked among the league's best throughout the season.
The Flyers entered the game 12th in the league with a 17.1 power play percentage, before Thomas and the Bruins held them to an 0-for-4 mark. The Bruins are now fifth in the league with an 86.9 penalty kill percentage.
It could have been 0-for-5 (or 1-for-5), were it not for a penalty shot that was issued to Scott Hartnell. After Hartnell left the penalty box from a slashing call (Thomas received one as well, as he took umbrage to Hartnell's persistence after a play), Andrew Ference hooked him on a breakaway. Thomas stopped the penalty shot, seeing to it that both Hartnell's stats and his face took a hit Wednesday.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), U.S. Coast Guard and Walter Oil & Gas Corporation (Walter), through the Unified Command, continue to oversee and coordinate response efforts to secure the South Timbalier 220 natural gas Well A-3. Safety of personnel and protection of the environment remain the top priorities.
All available options to safely secure the natural gas well remain under consideration. Work is moving forward on all approaches. Gas detectors and high-capacity water jet fire monitors have been installed on board the Hercules 265 rig; this is for the safety of the rig and the well intervention operations which will be conducted from a nearby barge, Superior Derrick Services' Performance.
Walter's application for permit to drill a relief well was approved Saturday by BSEE. The Rowan EXL-3 jack-up rig, contracted by Walter, is on location at South Timbalier 220 and crews are preparing the rig for drilling. The crew is expected to begin drilling the relief well early Thursday. It is anticipated that it will take approximately 35 days to intercept the original well bore. Many factors can affect the expected schedule including weather and the intricate work of locating the target well bore at the end of the drilling process. A relief well is drilled to intercept the target well. Once intercepted, drilling mud followed by cement will be pumped into the well to secure it.
From visual observation, a sheen is no longer present in the area of the well. The Coast Guard continues to maintain a 500-meter safety zone around the site. Firefighting and other marine vessels remain onsite with personnel from Walter, Hercules, and other professional engineering contractors, and relevant federal agencies.
BSEE's investigation into the cause of the loss of well control continues in coordination with the Coast Guard.

The building , atmosphere , location , service , every thing .
Nothing as my room was spacious for a single occupancy .
beautiful old world charm. restaurant was excellent
air condition and other functions of room did not work the were no english speaking employees. communication was difficult
Excellent Breakfasts Location
Lack of an itemized bill Charging the equivalent price in Canadian dollars but in Euros Lack of proper lighting outside our room (we had to use our own flashlight at night) Having a music concert outside of our room whithout telling us, so access to our room was not possible during the concert Lack of basic English to deal with situations such as billing item listed above Lack of elevators
Laguardia was cosy but small, ont något was enough. Hotel was a nice charmy old buildning, lot of stairs and old furneture
It was like being in a 14th century town in the 21 century. Very friendly staff, especially the little old lady at the front desk. We were greeted with a small gift for my wife, and a gift upon checking out. Very good restaurant !!
A little hard to find at first ! I guess because I was expecting to drive up to a "hotel ", when it was located with in the confines of the little town which can only be accessed by foot. ( not a bad thing) My GPS brought us to the town and was searching for the hotel, but could not find it. We figured it out ..
Staff and owners friendliness. Food was excellent at restaurant and bar. Laguardia is a perfect base for exploring the La Rioja Region. Flamenco group Sunday night was a highlight.
Limited access to their wine cellars on days we were there (Sun/Mon).
Beautiful old building, lovely staff
No outside space.
Great restaurant/bar, flaminco musicians twice a week
Small bed
Charming old worldliness of the hotel. Staff very helpful. Location great but very quiet for a good nights sleep.
No WiFi available.
Welcome as a guest sharing a beautiful, historic family hotel. Character and charm throughout. Great restaurant and breakfast
No wifi
Lovely hotel in a beautiful village - a place to be remembered forever - highly recommend.
Parking a bit tricky but hotel staff sorted with no problems.
Location, the wine cellar, the family atmosphere
No wifi in pensione but not a big problem
Fantastic location in the walled city of La Guardia (parking facility is beneficial given the limited capacity within the walled perimeter). Staff very helpful (whilst language was a challenge) even provided a personal tour of the cellar which was brilliant. Beautiful premises with homely rooms and good bathroom facilities. Dinner in the dining room is recommended.
Beautiful walled town Free Wine tour below hotel Comfortable sitting areas Nice restaurant Character, character....
Javier was wonderful! Food was the best we had in Spain during our 16 day visit.
The only thing negative to say is that the tarp covering the rooftop terrace was quite noisy because of the wind.
Great position to explore a very interesting town.
Place is a little tired.
Centrally located, clean, neat and tidy. Staff are very friendly.
the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is a lovely well kept old building, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel.
very cold, restaurant not open would have been a fine hotel once but has ton to seed
Beautiful hotel, beautifully located in this charming walled town.

The Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the largest breast-cancer charity in the United States, announced that it will end its partnership with Planned Parenthood affiliates. This will prevent Planned Parenthood affiliates from receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars to conduct breast cancer screenings annually. According to Planned Parenthood, its clinics received $680,000 last year alone from the Komen foundation.
Representatives from the Komen foundation indicated that they ended the partnership with Planned Parenthood because the Komen foundation recently adopted a policy, which states that grants may not be given to organizations that are under investigation by local, state, or federal officials. Leslie Aun, a spokesperson for the Komen foundation, indicated that because Planned Parenthood's spending on abortion services is the subject of an investigation initiated by Representative Cliff Stearns (R-FL), the Komen foundation has elected to end its partnership.
Officials from Planned Parenthood have indicated that they believe that the Komen foundation was motivated by pressure from anti-abortion forces. Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, stated, "It's hard to understand how an organization with whom we share a mission of saving women's lives could have bowed to this kind of bullying. It's really hurtful. Until really recently, the Komen foundation had been praising our breast health programs as essential. This really abrupt about-face was very surprising. I think the Komen foundation has been bullied by right-wing groups."
Planned Parenthood health centers across the country conduct over one million cervical cancer screenings and 830,000 breast exams yearly. Its clinics also provide contraception to approximately 2.5 million women per year.

Maine GOP Still Officially Opposes Marriage Equality
BY Michelle Garcia
April 28 2014 2:52 PM ET
The Maine Republican Party updated its platform over the weekend to reiterate its opposition to marriage equality, even though the state has had legal marriage rights for same-sex couples for more than a year.
In addition to declaring its aim to put an end to Common Core education standards, the state's GOP also said it viewed a marriage as strictly a union between one man and one woman, the Associated Press reports. The platform states that the family "is the foundation of a stable society, therefore the government should not interfere, but rather support and protect the integrity and rights of the family."
In 2009, Maine's government enacted a law that would establish marriage equality, signed by Gov. John Baldacci. However, the law did not go into effect, as a voter initiative to repeal it won 53 percent of the vote. But a pro-equality coalition put the question back on the ballot in 2012, and voters approved a new law to reestablish marriage rights for same-sex couples. A month after voters approved the law at the ballot box, a poll showed that 78 percent of respondents said allowing same-sex marriages had no effect on them, according to Freedom to Marry.

News Analysis: The killer protein
Charles Arthur traces the discovery of the agent that is accused of spreading BSE from cows to humans
Wednesday 27 March 1996
Prions are "rogue" forms of normal proteins. They defy conventional scientific knowledge. We know that they work to terrifying effect on the brain, eating it away and turning it into sponge. What we cannot explain yet is how they work.
Prions act in the place where chemistry and geometry intersect. Many scientists now think that CJD and BSE diseases are not triggered by a conventional infection caused by a virus or a bacteria. Instead it seems they are set off by an entirely new infectious mechanism: a protein that abruptly changes shape, like a child's bendy toy, which then sets off a disastrous chain reaction in other cells.
BSE, CJD and scrapie - the form of the disease takes in sheep - differ significantly from the sorts of diseases we learn about at school. Conventional thinking says infectious diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses - living agents with their own genetic instructions encoded in DNA (or its chemical and genetic relative, RNA). They invade a host cell and their genetic material sets that cell to work making copies of the invading cells, which then infect more host cells.
The first step in the discovery of the entirely different infectious mechanism came in 1957, when two scientists studying tribes in Papua New Guinea noted a disease that the natives called kuru, or "the laughing death". It was a disorder in which loss of co-ordination was rapidly followed by dementia and death. It was spread because the tribespeople indulged in ritual cannibalism. But the scientists' research found no infectious agent to explain the disease. The first clue that something else was at work was a strange sponge-like appearance to the victims' brains.
That same sponge-like appearance is found in cows that die of BSE. Here too the infectious agent is elusive - yet incredibly hardy. You can do a lot to infected tissue samples: douse them in antiseptics, boil them in water, shine ultraviolet light or even high-energy gamma rays on them. Any one of those would destroy a bacterium or a virus. But not BSE, CJD or scrapie.
The turning point in the understanding of these diseases came in 1972. Stanley Prusiner, a neurologist at the University of California's school of medicine in San Francisco, watched one of his patients die from CJD. Upset, but intrigued, he began reading the scientific literature on CJD and related conditions - which he found electrifying. Finding the infectious agent became his life's work.
After setting up a laboratory in 1974, it took Prusiner and his colleagues eight years to established two facts: the infectious agent involved in these diseases was unaffected by any process that would destroy DNA or RNA, yet it lost its effect when treated with substances that broke down proteins.
In his first significant publication on the topic, in 1982, he dubbed the agent a "prion" (he pronounces it "pree-on", though most people find "pry-on" easier on the ear), for "proteinaceous infectious particle". His research team subsequently established that the scrapie prion contained only one protein, which they dubbed PrP - for "prion protein".
Prusiner's iconoclastic suggestion that something without any genetic element could cause an infectious illness "evoked a good deal of scepticism", he observes. There was also the question of where PrP came from in the first place. That was answered when scientists discovered several animals - hamsters, mice, cats, elk, mink, sheep and humans - have genes that control the making of PrP.
But if we all produce PrP, why doesn't everyone die of CJD? "One interpretation was that we had made a terrible mistake and that PrP had nothing to do with prion diseases," Prusiner said later. But then he recalled that the biological action of most proteins depends on their physical shape - the way their molecular constituents are folded together. (Why proteins, which start as long, simple chains of amino acids manufactured by genes, spontaneously fold into the shapes they do remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in modern biology.)
Prusiner's next step was to suggest that there could be two shapes of PrP: the normal form found in healthy mammals and the diseased, "scrapie" form. This was confirmed by experiments with enzymes called proteases, which break down proteins found in cells as part of the body's self-regulation. Enzymes are like locks: only the correct shape of protein fits them. Experiments at the University of California showed that "scrapie" PrP resisted being broken down by protease enzymes, while normal healthy PrP did not. Chemically they were the same protein; but geometrically they were different shapes. A build-up of diseased PrP proteins, then, would throw a body's self-regulation out of kilter because they are immune to enzymes.
What Prusiner could not explain was why the "scrapie" PrP had a different shape, and more importantly why it seemed able to encourage other proteins to change shape as well. Prusiner decided to investigate other "prion diseases" in humans.
In 1988, he obtained copies of a PrP gene from a man with a disease, known as Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, which resembles CJD. Prusiner's team found a tiny mutation in the man's gene. Out of 750 "instructions" - called base pairs - on the gene's DNA, a single one was unusual. This meant that instead of making the amino acid proline, as a healthy PrP gene would, it made one called leucine. That, in turn, meant that the PrP protein was a different shape. As long as your PrP proteins retain the correct shape, you will remain healthy.
But even after painstaking research over many years, there were still the twin questions of how the infection was spread and how it worked inside a body. Why could "scrapie PrP" easily infect some animals, such as mice, sheep or cows, yet be hard to pass to others, such as hamsters?
Prusiner, with fellow researcher Michael Scott, found that the amino acid sequences of cow and sheep PrP proteins are relatively similar. Prusiner suggests that "the more the sequence of a scrapie PrP molecule resembles the PrP sequence of its host, the more likely it is that the host will acquire prion disease."
Human PrP genes and proteins differ quite substantially from those of cattle, but not by so much that it rules out BSE passing from cows to humans.
The key to the way the disease spreads through the body is the way PRP changes shape and induces other proteins to follow suit. Experiments at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have shown that when diseased PrP and normal sheep PrP are mixed in a test tube, the normal form converted to the diseased form. There might then be a cascade effect as more and more proteins change shape.
It is known that they become concentrated in the spinal cord and the brain. This concentration of the diseased protein causes cells to die slowly. The collapse of the cellscreates the spongy appearance of the brain in post-mortem.
But how many "diseased" proteins are needed to set off the cascade? How long does it take? Can the "flipped" BSE prion induce the normal human prion to flip? To these vital questions, even the crusading Prusiner does not have the answers, yet.
Prions: When changing shape means death
The prion is a standard protein that changes shape - apparently spontaneously - and then causes brain degeneration and death.
1) The normal form of the PrP protein exists in the "folded" shape in many cells of the body. Its exact function is unknown.
2) Somehow, the protein "flips" to a stretched form. Because it originates in the body, the defence mechanism of the white blood cells does not break it down. The "flipped" PrP, or prion protein, now begins to affect the normal version in other cells in the body.
3) "Flipped" copies of the PrP protein gather in brain cells, where they cause fibrous deposits - "plaques" - which cause the cells to die and collapse.
4) Post-mortem examination shows how the collapsed cells leave the brain with a sponge-like appearance, shot through with holes.
How we might catch CJDfrom BSE
1) Meal infected with prions from a cow with BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is eaten.
2) Prion proteins that cause BSE in cattle are absorbed through the stomach wall.
3) Over a period of time - which may be between 10 and 30 years - the prion protein spreads throughout the body and "encourages" normal copies of the same protein in the body to change shape to the diseased form.
4) Diseased forms of the prion protein begin to gather in the brain and spinal tissues, where they lead to degeneration of the grey matter. Eventually CJD sets in, leading to dementia and death within a year or two.
