It looks like Republicans in Richmond are bucking the national trend and supporting a pro-immigrant agenda. Now the question is how will Latino voters respond.
A bill passed the Virginia House Feb. 7 the proposal would prohibit a notary public who is not a federally accredited immigration representative from offering or providing advice on any immigration matter. The bill also prohibits a notary from assuming, using, or advertising the title of notario, notario publico, or licenciado, unless the notary public is licensed to practice law in Virginia.
A notary's first violation would result in a $500 fine and the second $1,000. Multiple violations could result in revocation of commission.
HB 492 was introduced by Del. David Albo (R-Springfield). Question: Why single out immigration? If the aim is to keep anyone other than an attorney from providing legal advice in immigration cases, why not just say so? If the law already prohibits anyone except lawyers from giving legal advice, why not enforce it?
Special law for special cases mean special problems in the long run. For example, will prohibiting professionals from advertising in Spanish become a First Amendment issue? The measure appears to be intended, but state laws should benefit all not just a few.
A similar bill has not been offered in the Senate. If a proposal is made, lawmakers would be wise to cover all laws, not just the issue du jour. An English only law would clear this up.

A woman who lived through two world wars and almost all of the 19th century celebrated her 102nd birthday at the weekend.
Working up until she was nearly 90 years old, Henrietta Harper was once a landlady of the Sportsman Inn and now lives in the Alexander Care Home at Elland Road.
When she turned 100 she told the Observer & Advertiser: "They all want to know how I have got to 100 and what I say is, there is no secret, it's good food and all my tablets."
Mrs Harper was born in Pontefract in 1912 and during the Second World War she worked at the Yorkshire Copper Works making bullets and bomb components.
Care home manager Wendy, said: "She is very young at heart and doesn't look much older in her face either. She has a very quirky sense of humour as well."
She married twice, the first time to William Smith and the second time to Bill Harper.
She has four children Ben, Bill, Pat and Naomi, nine grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
Mrs Harper ran the Sportsman Inn on Hunger Hill with her second husband after working in a number of other jobs including running a sweet shop in Beeston, working in a fish and chip shop and at Woolworths.
Even at the age of 71 she was still working at a bakery on Dewsbury Road getting deliveries ready for the next day. Eventually she did retire after 18 years, this was after she had retired form other jobs three times before.
One thing that has kept her healthy is she never smoked and rarely drank, sometimes having a small sherry despite being a landlady in a string of pubs in the Leeds area.

update- Last time I was doing a backhand style. That has given way to my current project- getting animations into the game without replacing them. I have been successful. By injecting lines into animation.2da and dialoganimations.2da I have managed to create new animations without replacing old ones. This of course is in ether late alpha or early beta stage. Unfortunately the ends of my finales are coming soon and that means I'll be playing skyrim and will have no time to dedicate to this project. Still I believe I have 98% of the steps down right. for the last few steps I'll need some scripting help. Right now I can inject new animations to any party member and maybe to the pc. I haven't tried with the pc yet as I am experiencing some problems with that. However that does not mean it can't be done. I have changed my pc's appearance to darth revan and the animations won't hold. It just occurred to me that if I add new animations to the main supermodel it should show on the pc regardless of outfit. Soooo.....I am going now to check that out.
It's just like chicken-only different.

1) An attitude of "It's you and me against the world."
This is created by talking about beliefs and how much you are alike on certain things, and even how different you are from others. Don't keep secrets or stay politically correct when speaking with your mate, as you should be able to say anything to your partner. Share things you love or can't stand, as this intensifies the bond. Even if you have huge differences, talking about them often helps you find certain areas you agree on. Keep a sense of humor when dealing with each other. To deepen the bond, reminisce about the good times you've had together. Keep reminding each other why you chose to be together. Remind your mate what it is you love and admire about him or her on a regular basis.
2) Be a partner to your mate, not a parent.
No one wants to be told what to do or what they did wrong. Couples like to fight about who is right and wrong and hold it over the other's head when they are right. Don't get on a high horse about anything, whether it's smoking or exercising or what someone eats. No criticizing, scolding, or talking bad about him or her. Never say something to others about your mate that you haven't said to him/her and tried to work through. Instead, focus on how much you are alike. Regularly say things like, "It's amazing that we both think that way."
3) Treat your partner with respect and humanness.
Each person is different from others and makes mistakes because of their own humanness. You know this about your friends, but need to also accept this about your mate. We think of our mates as a reflection of ourselves and want them to be perfect like we want ourselves to be. But it's not fair. Give each other a break. Don't assume that your mate is trying to hurt you when he or she makes a simple mistake. Give your mate the benefit of the doubt, the way you would a friend. Don't make him or her feel like they're a bad person because they are different than you. Overlook little things that bug you, and in fact embrace and accept their quirks. Don't try to change your mate, but on important issues, let them know what serious behaviors they need to change when they are around you. Work with your mate, not against them.
4) Resolve issues as quickly as possible.
Nothing tears a relationship apart more than a recurring unresolved issue. If you have an issue you can't get resolved, go see a therapist so you can move on and stop building resentment. Sometimes it's difficult for one or both of you to bring up issues. It's important that both of you communicate and be emotionally honest about what's going on. If you are the more outspoken one in the relationship, your mate probably feels controlled and is afraid to speak up. To change this dynamic, regularly ask him or her, "Are there any issues or problems in the relationship that you haven't told me?" Then be ready to hear their answer without getting defensive. To resolve issues, think as if you are two businesses that have to compromise to be able to move on and both succeed. Most issues can be resolved if both people say what they feel and want, listen to their mate's wants, and agree to compromise. Then make win/win deals with consequences. And after a fight, be sure to make repair statements like, "Sorry about this morning. I know we see it differently, but I really love you and am sure we can get this worked out. I feel like we're okay now, are we okay?"
5) Make romance a priority.
In a recent article in Closer Weekly (2/17/14, pp 23), Julia Roberts talks about her relationship with Danny Moder, saying, "Eleven years feels like 11 minutes. It's really only all these kids in our house that shows a lot of time has gone by. Otherwise it feels like...me buckling and swooning still." Many couples focus on the children and work, thinking they can pick the romance back up when there is time. And it's not true. Usually once the romance is gone, it's gone. It's not that you have to work at romance so much as you have to schedule in time for it. Make having fun together a priority as this and sex are the glue that hold together the relationship. In that same issue of Closer Weekly (pp 22), Felicity Huffman says that what she and William H. Macy do to keep their relationship fresh is, "We have frequent date nights and we find a hotel and we just get away for a weekend." Also in that issue of Closer Weekly (pp 30) a friend of James Brolin and Barbra Streisand says, "She's always the center of his attention and that makes her feel beautiful." And of course when a woman or a man feels loved, the relationship stays stronger.
6) Stay in control of your own life and happiness.
Couples often still believe that it's your mate's job to make you happy, that if each person focuses on the happiness of the other instead of themselves, that's the key to a good relationship. But it's not true. Instead, this belief only causes blame. When couples "sacrifice" for the other in the name of making their mate happy, they end up resenting and feeling ripped off by each other. And yes, couples need to coordinate with each other and agree on the rules of the relationship (like each has a night out with their friends once a week, we try to go to bed together 3 nights a week, etc.), but each person needs to be able to have their own space and own friends and hobbies and not feel pressured -- whether it's nights out taking a class or drinking with friends or it's having alone time in the same house, or both. Barbra Streisand says (Closer Weekly, pp 30) that while she's singing in her home studio, he's on his computer, and that's perfectly fine. "It's like we're in the same house or in the same room, and he does his thing and I do my thing." There still needs to be quality time together of course, as well as alone time. If each of you focus on making yourself happy, then there should be two non-resentful, happy people living in the house, honoring each other's dreams and aspirations.

The Gene Cauley Story, Part 1: The Bill Lerach Years
Prominent plaintiffs' lawyer Gene Cauley, as you may have learned here, landed in hot water last month when New York Judge Jed Rakoff learned that the attorney could not account for $9.3 million in settlement money he was supposed to have distributed to clients in a securities fraud class action against Bisys Group.
Cauley, 41, last month admitted misappropriating the money and agreed to plead guilty to two felonies, wire fraud and criminal contempt. (Click here for a Law Blog post on the plea). Today, he officially pleaded guilty in court. He faces a possible sentence, under the guidelines, of 78 to 97 months. Later, he called the hearing surreal and said it was more difficult than he imagined it would be. "I have never had a cavity or broken a bone before," he said.
Here's a WSJ story from Saturday that looks at Cauley's career arc, from no-name Arkansas lawyer to class-action maven, and his subsequent fall.
In this post and one to follow tomorrow, we offer a little more of Cauley in his own words. He agreed to an hours-long interview in which he sketched out his career, including his friendship with Bill Lerach, and explained what caused him "to take a shortcut" with his clients' settlement money.
Raised in Paris, Arkansas, Cauley graduated from the Univ of Arkansas and later from Vanderbilt Law in 1993. He promptly failed the bar, he says, and was forced to deliver pizzas to supplement his income. But things soon started looking up. At a barbershop in 1994, he says, he picked up Forbes magazine and saw a profile of Lerach; it was the famous article, where the attorney was quoted as saying, "I have the greatest practice . . . I have no clients."
Intrigued, Cauley sent a letter to Lerach, saying he would like to work with the famed San Diego attorney. Incredibly, Lerach agreed to talk to him, and, even better, he later agreed to loan Cauley money to start a firm in Little Rock. "One of the most important people in my life was Bill Lerach," Cauley says. "He helped me when he didn't have to."
Cauley says he soon start joint venturing cases with Lerach. In 2000, when he was in his early thirties, Cauley says he earned $4 million and realized he had made it. "I thought I have just paid more in taxes than anyone in my family has made in all of their life."
The next year, Cauley hooked up with Paul Geller, one of the name partners of Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins, and the two built a securities class-action firm that grew to about 35 lawyers in 2004. There were a lot of huge-dollar settlements and recognition; NLJ in 2005 named Cauley one of the nation's top young attorneys.
In recent years, Cauley has expanded beyond the law, running a chain of car washes, buying commercial real estate, and co-founding a community bank and oil & gas exploration company.
But, beneath the surface, Cauley says, he has suffered from severe depression for years, which, until recently, he has not been able to adequately medicate. "My life has been characterized by parabolic advances followed by declines." But, he says, "I don't offer [my depression] as an excuse," for what happened in the Bisys case.
Tomorrow, we'll bring you Part II, and delve into greater detail on what happened in that case.

Lincoln of Troy and the Crittenton Foundation have partnered to raise money for Crittenton's latest patient care initiative – a new tower with 87 single patient rooms, space for medical and nursing education, centers for cardiac, orthopedic and family medicine.
On Tuesday, November 13, the Lincoln of Troy dealership will provide cars for community members, Hospital employees and volunteers to test drive. For each person who test drives a vehicle, Lincoln will donate $20 to the Crittenton Foundation for the tower project.
"We have supported the Crittenton Foundation for years and so have many of our clients," said Paul Sabatini, President of Lincoln of Troy. "As someone who lives and works locally, I am proud to help save lives and promote health care in our community. As a business owner, I also value the Hospital's role as an economic engine. It is a great cause for a great community."
"Drive for a Cause will make a big impact for our community, because proceeds will fund equipment and technology for our patients," said Melinda Conway Callahan, President of the Crittenton Foundation. The Crittenton Foundation is raising $20 million through philanthropy to implement smart room technology, pharmacy bar-coding, a healing garden and other patient-care initiatives in the new tower.
The event will be held at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center, 1101 W. University Drive, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm on Tuesday, November 13. For more information, call the Crittenton Foundation at (248) 652-5345.

"Meat to please you" is the slogan Avenue Deli has emblazoned across its awnings in Marda Loop. Granted, the phrasing's a bit peculiar, but the statement's true enough.
On a recent Saturday of errand-running, I happened to be in the neighbourhood with Mom, and as luck would have it, Avenue Deli was the only place that didn't appear packed to the brim. Turns out it was just timing, as the place filled up shortly after we were seated.
Avenue specializes in Montreal Smoked Meat and all of its various incarnations (Reubens, etc.) but also offers other sandwiches and soups. It's a traditional deli, offering a big cold crispy kosher pickle with each sandwich, and actual milkshakes (they even have a malted one!) In addition to the pickle, each sandwich comes with your choice of potato chips.
From the regular menu, we chose the tuna melt, and a sweet apple from the daily specials. That sweet apple sandwich, filled with Montreal smoked meat, cream cheese, Swiss cheese and slices of red delicious apple wrapped and grilled in a pita, was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. I know people who believe fruit and meat should not co-mingle (but I'm not one of them) and several of my favourite sandwiches actually incorporate fruit. This was no exception. The fact that it was warmed caused the cream and Swiss cheeses to melt into each other, making it just slightly gooey.
Our other choice, the tuna melt, was an upscale take on the sandwich. Though I'm a tuna fanatic, I generally prefer mine cold (salad, tartar, tataki, etc.) but this sandwich was an update on the typical tuna melt. It was made zingier by the addition of diced dill pickles and an artichoke jalapeno spread. The pita (again, wrapped around the filling and grilled) made this one of the more tidy tuna melts I've encountered, which is always appreciated, especially if you're headed back to work after lunch.
With fast, friendly service and reasonable prices (sandwiches are between $7 - 13), we'll definitely drop back in to Avenue when we're in the Loop.

Extra Point and Field Goal Protection*
From Complete Guide to Special Teams by American Football Coaches Association
Extra point and field goal protection is often overlooked. It is easy to neglect it since extra points are supposed to be automatic, right? We have all won and lost games because of an extra point or because our opponent blocked a field goal attempt and returned for a touchdown. When this happens, we look at the film to see where the breakdown occurred and why it happened. Often technique is the reason. At the University of Iowa, our head coach, Kirk Ferentz, is adamant about coaching the finer points of every position and every unit. He is about paying attention to detail, using perfect technique, and trusting the fundamentals. He takes nothing for granted, not even extra point and field goal protection.
The placekick is crucial to success and often determines the final outcome of the game. We talk to our players about the importance of the FG-PAT (field goal-extra point) unit. We tell them that anytime we get within the 25-yard line, we have a great opportunity to score points. They should expect to score every time they take the field, but should not take it for granted. To be successful, the FG-PAT team must
- be disciplined in substitution;
- be disciplined in alignment and technique;
- have a great snap, hold, and kick;
- have confidence in our ability to execute the kick; and
- take pride in doing the job well.
This is how we coach the FG-PAT unit at Iowa. It isn't the only way to coach special teams, but it works well for us.
The center sets the huddle 8 yards from the line of scrimmage with his back to the line of scrimmage. He always sets the huddle on the right hash mark unless the ball is on the right hash mark; in that case he sets the huddle to the left of the ball. In the huddle, the offensive linemen face the holder, standing tall. The wings and the ends are in front with their hands on their knees, looking up. Everyone in the huddle must give his full attention to the holder. The kicker is not in the huddle; he is finding his spot.
The holder is the quarterback of this unit. It is his huddle. He needs to take control! His first responsibility is counting to make sure there are 10 men in the huddle and the kicker is on the field. His second responsibility is making all calls inside the huddle. He will tell the unit whether the kick is normal or a fake, giving the call twice. For example, he might call, "Field goal on center snap, field goal on center snap," or, "Fake right on center snap, fake right on center snap." After the second call, the center leaves the huddle. The holder says, "Ready, break." The unit claps their hands on "break" and sprints to the line of scrimmage.
The center leaves the huddle, approaches the ball, and gets into his stance as quickly as possible. The other players find their alignments based on the center. The guards take a three-point stance with the inside foot back and inside hand down. The guard to the center's right is in a left-handed stance. The guard's inside foot, the foot closest to the center, is directly behind the center's foot. Guards must be careful not to interlock with the center; that is a penalty. The guard's toes on the outside foot should be perpendicular to the center's foot. We want to create some vertical separation from the line of scrimmage. The guard must see the ball out of his peripheral vision.
Tackles base their alignments on the guards' alignment. Tackles take no more than a 6-inch split from the guards. Again, they use a three-point stance with the inside foot back and inside hand down. The tackle's toes on the outside foot should be perpendicular to the guard's foot. The tackle must see the ball out of his peripheral vision.
The ends take their alignments off the tackles. The ends align in a three-point stance with the inside foot back and inside hand down. The ends take no more than a 6-inch split from the tackles. The ends are different from the other interior linemen in that their outside foot is parallel to the tackle's outside foot. The ends should not create any more vertical separation from the line of scrimmage. Each end's helmet must be able to break the beltline of the center. If they do not break the beltline, there will not be enough men on the line of scrimmage. Ends also must see the ball out of their peripheral vision.
If you look at the FG-PAT unit's alignment from end to end, you should see a bow. This bow actually widens the corners for the rush unit. If you line everyone from end to end on the same plane, the rush unit has better angle coming off the edges to the block point. You must have seven men on the line of scrimmage, so make sure that your front seven are aligned so that their helmets break the beltline of the center.
Wings base their alignment on the ends. They use a two-point stance. Hands are on the knees, butt is down, and eyes are up. They align an arm's length off the end with the inside foot just behind the groin of the end. The wings face out at a 45-degree angle.
After breaking the huddle, the holder sets the spot for the kicker. The kicker should set his spot approximately 7 to 7 1/2 yards from the line of scrimmage. After the holder places his hand on the spot, the kicker can mark off his steps.
At Iowa, we use this alignment regardless of the hash mark the ball is placed on. If the ball is on either hash mark, you can use a tackle-over alignment. On hash kicks the flight of the ball often shortens the corner to the wide field. Some teams put the boundary-side tackle on the field. You only want to do this if you are kicking from the hash mark and are getting wide side rushes from the defense.
If you are kicking from the right hash mark, the wide side of the field is to the left. The right tackle aligns between the left tackle and the left end. The right tackle must now keep his outside foot parallel with the left tackle's outside foot. Again, his helmet should break the beltline of the center. If you were on the left hash mark, the left tackle would go to the right side.
The right tight end slides down beside the right guard. He can get some vertical separation from the line of scrimmage by moving his outside foot back to be perpendicular to the guard's outside foot. The techniques and footwork remain the same. By making these two simple personnel adjustments, you can take away the edge rushers' angle to the field.

Devotional Reading: I Kings 2:26 - 46, I Kings 3, I Kings 4
Memory Verse: Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 KJV
The Lord spoke to Solomon in a dream while he lay sleeping in Gibeon and God said, "...Ask what I shall give thee" (I Kings 3:5). The New Living Translation says, "What do you want? Ask, and I will give it to you!"
How many times have you read "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Matthew 7:7), or "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15:7)?
Solomon asked for an understanding heart (I Kings 3:9) to help him fulfill his charge from God as judge over Israel. Thus, God gave him wisdom. What? The world is rich in wise men who live or have lived in poverty? Wisdom? You can not eat it. You can not wear it... or, can you? Solomon was given a blank check from God. God would have given Solomon wealth if requested, since He had already sealed the petition with His word. Yet, Solomon considered his responsibility above his power. God was pleased by Solomon's humble response to a tremendous opportunity.
Wisdom is more than knowing right from wrong. The Bible says that wisdom is a defense and a life giver (Ecclesiastes 7:12). Mathew Henry's Concise Bible Commentary says, "Wisdom is as good as an inheritance, yea better."
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17 KJV
I Kings 3:10-14 (KJV) reads, "10 And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
Solomon's request for wisdom opened the door to longevity. Would you say that wisdom is a fountain of youth?

Off the Practice Field...Texas Tech Head Coach Spike Dykes
(On Nebraska): "Needless to say that was a tough loss Saturday. When you play a great football team there's a few things you can't do, a few things you have to do. Going into that game the one thing we felt we couldn't do was give 'em anything big and certainly give 'em anything big and quick. We about shot that theory in the heart right off the bat. I don't think anything any bigger any quicker could've happened. At this stage of the game that's when you have an honest to goodness, true gut check. I know when that happened I had a lump in my throat about the size of a grapefruit.
"The amazing thing about it was our guys really did hang in there well. The crowd hung in there well. Before long we had that negated and it was back to a 0-0 contest. I thought that showed a lot of guts.
"Going in at the half we were on even terms with those people and felt like we had a chance to win the football game, full well knowing that when you play them they're going to figure out a way and you've got to counteract that.
"The defense I thought played a great football game. They didn't have exactly million mile drives for those touchdowns. The defense really gave us a chance to be in the ball game the whole way.
"We were just a hair away from breaking a big play at times and couldn't quite get it done.
"When you are emotionally involved in anything and you lose it takes a lot of the wind out of your sails unless your abig person and even if you are it takes a while to overcome that."
(On Texas A&M): We've lost some close games down there against some good football teams. It will be a game that will be very crucial to the remainder of our season.
"They (the players) know what's staring them in the face. I think when you've lost a heart breaking game like that its got to be a spur of positiveness that there is even a chance of playing them again.
"They've got great players. They're as proud of their quarterback as they've been in years. Brandon Stewart was the number one player in the state when he was a senior. I think he'll come out for the draft after this year. I think he has told people he probably would.
"They've got the best wide receiver I've seen in a long, long time, better than the one they've got at Kansas State in my opinion in Connell. He is really a good player
"They've got fast backs. They're young, they're good runners. The offensive line is big and strong so they've got a lot of weapons on offense. The strength of their football team is their defense as it always has been. Tremendous defensive football players. They've got great team speed, they're a lot like Nebraska as far as size, speed, quickness and ability.
"They've had a strange year. They've had untimely penalties. They've had untimely great plays against 'em. They've had untimely dropped balls. Its just one of those deals, you can't win for losing, but they've got a good football team. They're certainly sound and they're certainly playing hard. Those kind of teams scare the dickens out of you. If everything gets to going in the right direction for them. They make up for lost time.
"Kyle Field is a great atmosphere. It's a good place to play. There's always a big crowd. That's the only place that we go that there is really obviously crowd noise. They get involved. They really make it hard on you. You have to really be disciplined on offense or you really get a lot of penalties.
"When a guy jukes you and makes you miss him, there's not a whole lot you can do. They just made some plays that we didn't. The general state of affairs in athletics now is when you lose you gotta blame it on somebody. That's the change in athletics in the last 15 years. That amazes me a little bit. You win for so many reasons when you win and you lose for so many reasons when you lose. Its not one play or thing, its a combination.
"It never has been hard to get up for A&M and I think the players will handle it very well."
(On the home crowd): "I don't think I can ever remember a crowd in this stadium that was like that crowd was. They came early and stayed late and were very vocal. Our people stayed to the bitter end and boy we do appreciate that...Usually a deal like that (Terrel Farley's 21 yard touchdown on a fumble recovery), but after the shock of the thing they got right back into it.
"We remember the last three times we've been to College Station. We've lost some close games down there against some good football teams. Every one of those three years they were the Southwest Conference Champions and we finished second all of those years. That tells you just how important that football game has been.
"The reason they threw so much against Colorado is that they got behind so fast in that ball game. I think they would like to have a balance. I don't think there's any question, they're proud of their runners and they've got a good offensive line. I would look for a regular run of the mill game from them as far as pass to run ratio."
Spike Dykes On Sunday's Press Conference
(On the Nebraska game): "I don't know if you can start a football game any worse than we started yesterday. My gosh, you talk about devastating. I am really, really proud of our guys getting our composure back. I thought our guys did a good job of getting their heads back up. I thought the defense played outstanding football on many occasions. They certainly got us back into the game. It was a very physical game.
"Offensively, we had to make some first downs. We really had to control the football some. The people that lose to Nebraska generally are the people that get three downs and punt. We had 17 first downs against them. That's a credit to our offense.
"The only thing we didn't do is really take advantage of the breaks we got offensively. We did run some time off the clock, we did make some big plays. We dropped six passes in the ballgame. Those six passes were very, very, very critical. That's an area we've got to improve on. We cannot fumble the football. You cannot turn the ball over and win close football games.
"We are still in the football game until we get the punt return. The punt return is the straw that broke the camel's back You have to give the guy (Benning) credit. He just made a fantastic return, just an outstanding effort. We had some people that had him dead-to-right. I'm not sure we didn't let up a little bit.
"Our crowd was fantastic. They were here to the bitter end. They were here to the last drop. I do appreciate them for that. I think they saw a good ballgame. I think they saw a physical football game.
"I am proud of our guys for hanging in there. It's just unfortunate that you have to lose. You put so much into games like that. Darn it. When you lose, it takes a lot of wind out of your sails.
(On Texas A&M): "The big thing we've got to do is we've got to go to A&M this Saturday. We've got to get our chin up off the floor, got to quit feeling sorry for ourselves. Absorb the loss and go on down the road. You don't have time to dwell on that game. What we've got to do is try and correct the mistakes we made in that ballgame, try to keep from making them again and go from there. We were very fortunate we didn't get many guys hurt.
"Anthony Armour got his knee reinjured a little bit. Rob Peters came down on his shoulder. I don't know to what extent. That seems like the only two guys that are in a position that might not be ready this week."
(The A&M series): "We haven't beaten them a whole lot since I have been the head coach. Probably the most significant win was a year ago. We were 1-2 and had stunk it up pretty bad coming off a heartbreaking loss to Baylor. It looked like the sharks were about to get us. Of course, that's when Zach (Thomas) made the big play late and intercepted the pass late in the ballgame. We were able to win it. We've had some real close encounters with them. We've lost on the last play of the game. We've had some real, knock-down drag outs with them. They've gotten the better end of the stick the last few years. They've been awful hard for us to beat.
"That's a very unusual place to play in. The mystique of going to College Station. When you think about, it's one of the hardest places to play. All the traditions they have. They have a highly partisan crowd. It's more of a traditional football crowd than you see in most places. It's a heck of a deal. They've got a lot going for them. They are hard to beat in College Station. We will have to be at our very, very best to have a chance.
"We've been close down there quite a few times. We've had some real, real, real close football games down there. We've had a hard time getting a hammer on it. Finishing up with a win down there.
"It's significant for us. We are in a position right now that if we win the rest of our football games we'll play the winner of the North in St. Louis. If that's the case, it's extremely significant for us because that's what the battle is all about any way. I would think, there's no game of any more importance than this one for us in the remainder of our season.
"Our players know A&M. They know their players. They know what they've got. Honest-to-goodness, that's one thing about our traditional opponents, Baylor, A&M and Texas, there is no selling that needs to take place. They know all those guys. They remember all their players. A&M has great players. There is no question about that. They've had a couple of screwy deals to be 3-4. Everbody understands that. They've got a great football team. I don't think anybody in Lubbock doubts that. Our guys know what the Aggies got. They know they are good players. They've got an abundance of good players. They won't under sell them, believe me."
(On being in the South Division race with two losses): "It really got that way in the Southwest Conference the last two years. There seems to be more teams capable of winning games. There are just more losses taking place. I think it gives you a great shot in the arm and gives you a lot to play for. Right now we don't have to depend on anybody. We really control our own destiny. We've got a lot to do to get it done, don't get me wrong. At least, it's black and white on what needs to be done and what has to be done. I think it's fantastic."

Major clinical portions of the protocol will be conducted at the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH), the Rocky Mountain Region's only academic medical center and one of America's Best Hospitals. Within this hospital, members of the Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Division have a long history of successful basic and clinical sciences research funding, and as such, the division is consistently ranked among the top in the country. Research subjects with AUDs and controls will be admitted and cared for at the UCH - Clinical and Translational Research Center (UCH-CTRC) that will provide the infrastructure and expertise to facilitate this research. The UCH-CTRC is one component of the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI). The UCH-CTRC inpatient unit is located on the 12th floor of the hospital. It includes 4 ICU rooms and 9 step-down or medical/surgical patient rooms. In addition to providing inpatient and outpatient facilities and staff support, the adult unit supports an array of specialized resources for investigators, including: bionutrition core, metabolic kitchen, and core laboratory. The UCH-CTRC inpatient unit provides 24 hour staffing, and all registered nurses on the UCH-CTRC are required to have ACLS and BLS certifications. The UCH-CTRC has the experience and monitoring equipment to manage simple pharmacokinetic studies to complex ICU studies.
At the UCD site, subjects with AUDs will be recruited from Denver Comprehensive Addictions Rehabilitation and Evaluation Services (Denver CARES), a 100-bed, non-medical, clinically managed residential detoxification facility affiliated with Denver Health and Hospital System. Its mission is to provide safe detoxification for public inebriates and to provide assessment, education, and motivational counseling. It operates 24 hours, seven days a week, with a staff of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, psychiatric technicians, addiction counselors and social workers. There are 24,000 admissions to this facility annually (Table 1). Control subjects may be recruited from the Denver VA Medical Center's smoking cessation clinic. This clinic meets monthly, and is led by nurse practitioners in an outpatient setting. Approximately 20 patients per month attend the clinic and weekly classes.
Research subjects with burn injury will also be enrolled from the UCH Burn Intensive Care Unit (BICU), the only Burn Center in Colorado to be verified by the American Burn Association. The BICU is located on the 3rd floor of UCH, and includes 11 fully equipped inpatient ICU beds. Specialized resources provided for this unit include 24 hour staffing with either a 1:2 or 1:1 nurse: patient ratio; expertise in burn wound care; ACLS/BLS certification by nursing personnel. The average yearly census is 166 patients, with an average age of 44, who are 74% men. Approximately 17% have a history of AUDs, and 9% present acutely intoxicated.
Research subjects will also be recruited from sites associated with Emory University. Members of the Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Division at this site have significant experience in the conduct of human subjects' research, with a lengthy funding history. Research subjects with AUDs and matched controls will be recruited from the Atlanta VA Medical Center's Alcohol and Drug Detoxification Clinic, as well as its smoking cessation clinic. Both clinics meet monthly (in separate locations), and have approximately 30 patients that attend each clinic. The Atlanta VAMC has a fully staffed bronchoscopy suite where subjects can be scheduled as outpatients to perform research protocols. Nursing and other personnel are well-educated in the conduct of research protocols related to the subject matter of this proposal. The Atlanta VA Medical Center is a 350-bed acute medical-surgical VA hospital located in Decatur, GA, less than 1 mile from the EUMC campus where samples will be processed. Subjects with AUDs may also be recruited from the Grady Memorial Hospital's Emergency Department, a large, urban, level I trauma facility operated by the City of Atlanta in conjunction with Emory University. There are approximately 250 patients seen in the Grady ED each day, of which ~20% have a history of AUDs. AUD subjects and healthy controls (other than the Atlanta VA population) will be admitted for research purposes to the ACSTI Clinical Interaction Network Site at Grady Memorial Hospital to undergo protocols related to this proposal. This research unit is located on the 12th floor of the hospital and is staffed with experienced nurses who will be educated regarding protocols in this population.
Healthy control subjects will be recruited from the general medicine and pulmonary clinics at Medical Center of Louisiana-New Orleans (MCLNO). There were 94,712 outpatient visits at MCLNO in 2008, which represents a 61% increase compared to the previous year. Currently, 81% of patients are African-American and 69% female in the medicine clinics (75% and 55%, respectively, in the pulmonary clinics). The clinics serve a population that is at or below 300% of the federal poverty level (97% of patients). All clinical testing will be performed in the LSUHSC/Tulane CTRC. This CTRC involves extensive interdisciplinary cooperation between the three local major medical institutions: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, Tulane University Health Sciences Center and the Medical Center of Louisiana whose facility is shared for teaching and service purposes with both Medical Schools. The Centers all form what is known locally as the New Orleans Medical Complex. The LSUHSC CTRC is located on the fourth floor of the LSU Interim Hospital. These rooms will serve as outpatient exam rooms when not utilized as inpatient rooms. The physical facility provides the appropriate space and capabilities necessary for the implementation of any approved protocol utilizing CTRC services. Respiratory tract sampling will be performed in the Bronchoscopy Suites at the Interim LSU Public Hospital, New Orleans. These suites contain the full armamentarium of equipment required for conducting the proposed studies. Tulane University Hospital and Clinic (TUHC) is located directly across the street from Tulane University Medical School. The CTRC is presently located on the second floor of TUHC in the Reilly Pavilion area of the facility and adjacent to the Laboratory Department. All ancillary services are within walking distance of the CTRC. The physical facility of the present CTRC outpatient clinic provides the appropriate space and capabilities for the implementation of all approved research activities. Moreover, LSU is home to its own NIAAA-funded Alcohol Research Center.
The Burn Unit at Loyola University Medical Center will be another location for the clinical component of the research. The Burn Unit has 21 beds with 10 ICU beds and an 11 bed step down unit. It is located in a building that is directly attached to the Burn Shock Trauma Institute (BSTI). Presently, the research group is providing educational and research experience for 8 graduate students, 6 post-doctoral fellows, 4 surgical residents through funding from 2 NIH training grants. Staff members in the burn unit are experienced in the conduct of human subjects' research in patients with burn injury. Specimens will be collected in the Burn Unit and transported to the laboratory in the BSTI, located within the EMS building for processing and cellular analysis.
Our site has a strong interest in how alcohol intake impairs airway epithelial innate immunity. Our site will measure alcohol's effect on the innate immune functions of ciliary beat frequency, toll-like receptor expression and signaling, as well as scavenger receptor function. These investigations will help us to understand how alcohol impairs pulmonary innate immunity and will allow us to develop better treatments for pulmonary disease related to alcohol use disorders.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) CEO Larry Page recently claimed that the fear of data mining of health-related data could cost as many as 100,000 lives per year.
That bold statement, which Page made in a New York Times interview during the I/O developers conference, was made in response to concerns that Google was mining too much data from its users. While Page's claim wasn't backed with any real examples, it raises interesting questions about Google's ambitions in health care and the ethical challenges of mining personal health information.
About that data...
It's stunning how much data Google gathers about its users. Through Google search, it remembers what you are looking for. Through Android and Maps, it knows where you live and the places you go. Newer projects, like Google Glass, driverless cars, smart homes, drones, robots, and artificial intelligence, all offer glimpses into Google's true goal -- total control over the Internet of Things.
Google has a similar vision for the health care industry. Google Health, its attempt to unite the fragmented world of personal health records (PHRs), failed due to a lack of participation from doctors as well as privacy concerns. Google fiercely bounced back by promoting Helpouts as a telehealth platform, launching a biotech subsidiary known as Calico, and signing new partnerships for the use of Google Glass in hospitals.
Android Wear, a slimmed down version of Android for wearables, could unite the fragmented smartwatch market as it did with smartphones and tablets. Google will also tie together all the fitness apps, medical devices, and wearable devices on Android into a single platform known as Google Fit -- its answer to Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) HealthKit.
When we put these pieces together and consider Page's belief that Google needs to mine even more data, is it actually wise to trust Google with our personal health care information?
The difference between Google and Apple
The problem with allowing Google unrestricted access to our health care data is simple -- the majority of its revenue comes from advertisements.
By comparison, Apple doesn't generate significant revenue from ads. Instead, 86% of its revenue comes from sales of iPhones, iPads, and Macs. Therefore, there's no conflict of financial interest in offering the Health app to users -- Apple simply wants to sell more hardware which serves as central hubs to their fitness apps, medical devices, and wearables. Google, on the other hand, mines data to create targeted ads based heavily on user interests, which generate higher ad revenues.
This means that if Google gains full access to personal health records, a diabetic Google user might start seeing online ads for new insulin products, while an obese user could start seeing ads for weight loss drugs. That would raise questions about who benefits more from shared health data on Android -- patients or Google?
Easier said than done
Google's plan to collect more health data is ambitious, but it faces major hurdles. Apple is already partnered with Epic Systems, a major electronic health record (EHR) company which covers half of all patients across America. Google doesn't have any EHR partners for Fit yet, although Glass has generated some interest among EHR companies.
Without backing from a major EHR provider to tie its health ecosystem together, it will be hard for Google to "mine" deeper health data beyond scattered readings from apps, devices, and wearables. All that information must be collected in an EHR for medical professionals to truly matter. In other words, what shows up on the doctor's screen at the clinic must be the same as what the patient sees on the smartphone. That's what Apple is succeeding with Epic while Google is (so far) coming up short.
Services like Apple's HealthKit and Google Fit also need users to voluntarily submit the health data via wearable devices. Although Android controls 62% of the U.S. smartphone market, Android Wear is only compatible with 25% of all Android phones due to its steep Android 4.4 requirement. That doesn't bode well for Google's dream of dominating wrists and phones everywhere with a single operating system.
The Foolish takeaway
If Google fails to secure an established EHR partner for Google Fit, and Android Wear fails to spread across smartwatches as Android did on smartphones, Google's health care ecosystem won't be much more than a neat way to view some accumulated personal fitness data within a single app.
For now, I don't think Google's plan to mine health-related data will save 100,000 lives per year, but it could generate plenty of ad revenue with better targeted ads. And with any luck, there will be some useful health applications in the long term.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!
