We are here in a building called Parkland Hall.
Tonight we dedicated a historic marker that commemorates the start of the medical school on the campus of Old Parkland.
It is a remarkable evening of dignitaries and supporters who have helped to make this a reality.
To actually see a marker unveiled and particularly with people who are so excited to have received the marker
Is always one of the most exciting things for me and for all of the members of our commissioners.
When it came time for the Southwestern Medical Foundation
to pull all their fabulous archives together
We put the right people together to make this happen and to create this marker.
I'm Carol Roark, and I'm an archivist and a historian.
It is always fun to see a marker unveiled and there's kind of a great sense of satisfaction to see it all come together.
The history of trying to bring quality medical education to Dallas
dates back to the very first days of the early 1900s.
You can look at what gumption it took to start a medical school during the middle of the Second World War.
We hope that people who visit here will know that Southwestern Medical Foundation
and Southwestern Medical College contributed by
being the builders and the funders and the visionaries of
the model that we hold dear today.
It's the seedling that grew into the institution that
I have used that so many other people have used for their healthcare needs.
It is from this school alone that six Nobel Prizes have come
But far beyond that are the number of young men and women who have been trained here.
We continue to preserve the heritage and the might of Southwestern Medical School through its foundation
It doesn't happen by magic. It happens by people wishing it to happen and making it happen.

Trumps border wall faces Texas size backlash from land owners - Duration: 4:46.
Trumps border wall faces Texas size backlash from land owners
Gary Jacobs looks out over the Rio Grande from the deck of the clubhouse at a public golf course in Webb County, Texas. Its a sunny morning, quiet except for the chirping birds and the thwack of clubs hitting balls.
Where are you going to put the 30 feet? he asks.
On this side of the river, a 270 acre plot of land Jacobs and his wife donated to boost the profile of Laredo, a border town about 160 miles 260 kilometers south of San Antonio. On the other side, Mexico.
Jacobs, like most of Laredos 260,000 residents, is talking about President Donald Trumps border wall, a project thats engulfing not just the border, but Washington and almost 1 million federal workers who went unpaid during the U.S. governments partial shutdown.
Texas, a state where Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by 9 percentage points in the 2016 presidential election, illustrates the political complexity of his push. After Trump declared a national emergency Friday to access billions of dollars in funding, some landowners along the U.S. Mexico line say they see a government land grab in their future.
The logistics of building a barrier are challenging enough. Thousands of creeks called arroyos carry rainwater from South Texas thunderstorms to the expansive river, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. A wall could act as a dam, trapping water on the U.S. side and potentially complicating how Mexicans and Americans share the river for their water supply, says Jacobs.
But his bigger problem with the wall is constitutional.
The way the eminent domain laws are written, we have no rights, says Jacobs, who was a former chief executive officer of Laredo National Bank before retiring. Thats the issue. Its not what theyre going to build. Its how theyre taking the land.
At least one lawsuit is challenging the Trump administrations emergency declaration, with others likely to follow. The first, brought by the nonprofit group Public Citizen on behalf of private landowners, argues that Trump violated the U.S. constitutions separation of powers when he invoked the National Emergencies Act.
About two thirds of Americans oppose Trumps expansive assertion of presidential authority, according to a CNN poll released Friday.
Property seizure laws set up in the 1800s leave ranchers and landowners few options. Often, work will already be underway or even finished before a judge rules on whether the money paid to property owners was fair restitution. Apart from the U.S. government claiming eminent domain to build roads, oil and gas companies will use it to lay pipelines through private property. Now, theres Trumps wall.
Philosophically, thats abhorrent to me, says Jacobs, 77, who considers himself a Republican though hes voted for Democrats in the past.
Slap Texans with about 20 cases of eminent domain and Trumps wall support among the states Republicans will take a hit, Mark Jones, a political scientist at Rice University in Houston, said in an interview.
Just as Texas Republicans are very supportive of having a strong level of border security, they also are very supportive of property rights, he said.
Its a particularly delicate issue in Laredo. At a Starbucks about two miles off the citys main highway, a father and son can be heard debating the merits of the wall and the threat illegal immigration poses to residents. Business owners are reluctant to speak publicly about their opinion on Trumps declaration out of fear of angering regular customers who hold opposing views.
While Jacobs condemns the wall, he makes it clear that he advocates stricter enforcement of immigration laws and supports the local Border Patrol.
Its a sentiment shared by Mauricio Vidaurri, whose familys land along the Rio Grande dates back to 1750.
We welcome Border Patrol to come in and put their sensors, their cameras, Vidaurri says as he drives his pickup through a gate that leads to one of eight 140 acre plots he shares with his siblings. A few years ago, a house on his sisters land was damaged by what he thinks was a drug smuggler. Border Patrol came in and installed video cameras and ground sensors, and they havent had a problem since.
The feral hogs are more of a problem, he says.
Vidaurri works as an inspector for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, so he says he understands the need for strict immigration laws. As a landowner, he says a wall isnt the right way to go about it.
The wall threatens to cut through earth that literally contains his familys past. Both his father and grandfather are buried in a family cemetery on the property. In the southeast corner of the lot, an American and U.S. Marine Corps flag wave — an ode to his fathers service during World War II.
Now, that same government may send a letter any day saying its taking the land for a border wall.
Its cruel, man. Its just cruel, he says. Im really, really scared that theyre going to take my land.

Why is CASH considered KING in real estate | #RealEstateTalk 017 | Spring Texas Real Estate - Duration: 3:23.
Welcome to another episode of real estate talk. I'm Jill Wente, a
Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Gary Greene specializing in the Spring Texas
real estate market. On today's episode of real estate talk I'm going to talk about
cash and why cash is considered king in real estate. The scenario is
you're a buyer and you are competing against other buyers for the purchase of
this prime property. Nine of the buyers are just like you coming in with
financing but the tenth buyer is coming in with cash. You then find out that the
seller has chosen the cash buyer and the question is why did the seller not choose
your offer when you're offering the seller the exact same price as the cash
buyer. There's a couple reasons as to why cash is considered king in
real estate and why that seller chose the cash offer. One reason is because cash can offer
the seller a quicker close. With financing the financing process takes
between 21 to 45 days with cash you can close as quick as 14 days maybe even in 10 days.
Another reason is cash comes with less risk. Cash eliminates potential for financing not to come
through. Upfront you have a pre-approval letter from your lender. That
pre-approval is just that it's pre-approval. it's not final loan
approval. With cash the seller is assured that the funds to close are available. The seller doesn't have
any concerns about if we are going to get down to the last minute and the buyer's agent or
lender says "I'm sorry I'm not able to give the buyer the loan" and then his
house is going back on the market. Another reason cash is king in real estate is there's no appraisal with a cash
transaction.
An appraisal is a requirement of the lender. Let's say
you agreed to pay $200,000 for the house but the appraisal comes in at $195,000.
Now you're asking the seller that I want you to take $195,000 otherwise I'm not
buying the house. With cash there's no appraisal. The seller knows
he's gonna get $200,000. Another one is as far as the closing date ... with cash all you
have to do is wire the funds and show up on the closing date. With lending if you're
delayed in getting your information to the lender or if the lender gets backlogged
for some reason then the date that you and the seller agreed to close on doesn't happen.
The seller says with cash I know I'm gonna close on that day
and I don't have to worry about the lender potentially screwing up
my closing date. Cash is KING in real estate. that's it for this
episode of real estate talk. I'd love to connect with you on facebook or Instagram or
YouTube. I'm at DiscoverSpringTexas. Also jump over to our website
of DiscoverSpringTexas.com we've got lots of great content over there
for you too. Until next time

Texas teen sentenced to 25 years in prison for stabbing friend - Daily News - Duration: 2:51.
A 14-year-old Texas girl has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for stabbing her friend to death during an argument over a sleepover
The teen from Fort Worth, who is not named due to her age, stabbed Nylah Lightfoot, 14, in the chest and neck when she went to pick up her clothes from her friend's home on May 29, 2018
The victim's mother Anntoinette Carter claimed that the mother of then-13-year-old suspect stood by and watched the altercation between the two girls unfold, without stepping in
The defendant was found guilty of murder but not guilty on aggravated assault charges in Tarrant County court on Thursday, and faced a minimum sentence of probation and maximum of 40 years in prison
It took the jury about one hour and 20 minutes to convict the assailant and another hour and 10 minutes to come up with a suggested sentence, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported
The girl will be held in a Texas Juvenile Justice Department facility, according to presiding Judge Alex Kim
The court will determine whether to transfer her to an adult prison or grant her leniency on or before her 19th birthday
Carter delivered a victim's impact statement after the sentence was announced, telling her daughter's killer: 'When they told me it was you, it hurt
You was at my house every day.'The heartbroken mother said that her daughter wanted to become a makeup artist, and that would sneak into her bedroom to get makeup for herself and the friend
Now, Carter said, she will never get to see that passion again, nor will she see her daughter go to prom, graduate high school or get married
'You spent her last birthday with us. I don't know how I come back from this,' she said through tears
Share this article Share Carter had previously described her daughter and the suspect as 'on-and-off' friends
On the day she was killed, Nylah asked if the girl could sleepover, to which Carter said no, according to The Star-Telegram
Then the suspect asked Nylah to come over and retrieve clothes she had swapped with the teen
When she arrived at the girl's Fort Worth apartment complex, the pair got into an altercation that turned deadly
The little girl was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital for her neck and chest wounds where she was pronounced dead, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner's office
'Now I'm daughterless. And my heart feels like it's just been ripped out and stomped on,' Carter said at the time
The Nylah's murder trial only lasted two days. When the suspect took the stand, she said killing her best friend it was something that she would forever regret
'She was like a sister to me,' she testified.Prosecutor Jim Hudson said during his closing statement: 'The case was graphic, disturbing and unsettling
Because of the decisions she made, a family now lives without a daughter. 'We ask that you send a message to her that these acts have consequences
' He continued: 'There is no arguing what her intent was. When she came outside with the knife she was still in control
But not even her friend could stop her. She was only following through with what she had threatened twice

WATCH: Softball Coach Attacks Grandmother in Cypress, Texas | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:09.
WATCH: Softball Coach Attacks Grandmother in Cypress, Texas | Heavy.com
Donna Edwards said police told her the video she took was "proof of assault," though it's not clear if the coach involved has yet been charged.
The 60-year-old grandmother was injured she said when watching her granddaughter's softball game at Dyess Park in Cypress, Texas Saturday.
She said the coach she identified as "Bubba Schmidt," appears to attack her as she records a teen, who she says is Schmidt's son, giving her the middle finger.
Then a man she said is the coach, rushes her and, she said, tackled her.
On Facebook, Edwards said that once the coach attacked her, her son, Lane Sword, jumped the man and there was a "country style" fight, which local media referred to as a brawl.
Edwards said she went to a nearby emergency room for treatment of injuries she said she sustained in the attack.
"The cops said the video is proof of assault.
And yes, there are about 30 eyewitnesses to the whole thing that stayed till the cops got there.
He was losing 15-0 and they just called the game.
I don't think he likes to lose.
But I was told he has a history of bullying people, then he intimidates them, and they give him a pass." Edwards claimed on a reply to a comment on her post.
She claimed, "This guy is well known for his bad temper and inappropriate behavior.
Supposedly he is a lawyer for Union Pacific.
He's got an anger management problem.".
She said she was knocked down by the coach: "I hit the ground pretty hard.
My oldest son was keeping score on the next field and pulled him off of me.
He was trying to get my phone.
I didn't know it at the time, but that kid shooting the bird at everyone and cussing was his son.
I guess he didn't want me to videotape his son's bad behavior.".
The softball game played at Dyess Park is part of the Cy-Fair Girls Athletic Association.
The coach of the Cy-Fair Texas Sting 14U team, who was not named, has been fired.
"Not our team! We are 14U Cy-Fair Texas Sting-Cypress.
February 16, 2019 at A.E.Dyess Park, an unacceptable incident involving a coach from the 14U Texas Sting Memorial softball team during a contest with another 14U softball team took place.
Cy-Fair Texas Sting strives to promote honesty, integrity, trustworthiness and accountability in coaches, players and parents.
We require the highest levels of good sportsmanship at all times.
Therefore, as of February 17, 2019, the coach involved in the incident is no longer associated with Cy Fair Texas Sting organization.".
ABC7 News reported that Edwards pointed to "bruises on her body" and said she had a sore neck.
Edwards described what she said occurred: "I was watching the game when I heard someone cursing and yelling," she said.
"The kid who I was recording is his son.
I was tackled and hit the concrete.
I don't remember what happened next.
I think I was knocked out.
That guy was trying to get the phone.
My son pulled him off of me.".
Lane Swore told local media that, "Before I know it, the guy's on top of my mom.
And I ran to that field and grabbed a man off my 60-year-old mom.".
Edwards filed a report with the Harris County Sheriff's Office and also contacted the league that oversees the softball tournaments, it was reported.
This is a developing story.

Texas teacher chopped off her own hair to show support for girl who was being teased
When Shannon Grimm noticed that a 5 year old girl in her kindergarten class was "really sad and depressed at school because friends think that she looks like a boy," she wanted to cheer the student up by showing solidarity.
Classmates were teasing the girl, Prisilla, who had begun wearing a hat to school to cover her hair, .
"I would cry because I would think school was not fun," the girl told the affiliate.
So Grimm chopped her waist length brown hair into a pixie cut, like Prisillas.
"What better way to show them that you can look any way and still be true to yourself and that you can be whoever you want it doesnt matter what you look like than to cut my own hair?" the teacher said in a about the episode.
Grimm even purchased matching hair bows for her and Prisilla to wear, said the north of Houston, where Grimm works.
At a school board meeting last week, the little girl presented Grimm with a medal for being her hero during a difficult time. Grimm had also nominated Prisilla for the district student of the month award for being brave.
Although Grimm said she misses her long hair, she said the experience has allowed her to better understand Prisillas feelings.
"Sometimes you just have to experience it. You have to teach them and show them that youre there for them."
When Grimm debuted her haircut, her son told her she looked like a boy. Walking into a grocery store or other public places with her new do made her feel self conscious, she said.
However, the teacher said the temporary discomfort was worth it because she was able to help Prisilla feel better about her appearance.
"I dont want my students to ever feel like their confidence is down, that they dont want to come to school because of the way people look at them and say things to them," Grimm said. "I want them to come to school and love being at school."
Her hair will grow back, but Grimm said she hopes to instill in her students and her two children a more lasting lesson.
"It doesnt matter what haircut you have," she said. "Youre beautiful no matter what."

Trumps border wall faces Texas size backlash from land owners
Gary Jacobs looks out over the Rio Grande from the deck of the clubhouse at a public golf course in Webb County, Texas. Its a sunny morning, quiet except for the chirping birds and the thwack of clubs hitting balls.
Where are you going to put the 30 feet? he asks.

LLC Books and Records (Texas Limited Liability Company) - Duration: 3:57.
First, kudos to you for watching this video.
This means you're serious about properly maintaining the LLC.
Taking care of a business's books and records is not glamorous.
I've never had a conversation with someone who is excited about starting a business because
they enjoy all the paperwork it requires.
There's no payoff to doing it.
It doesn't increase the value of the business.
It doesn't improve products or services, and it doesn't bring in customers.
It requires constant work and attention, and if you've never done it before, there's a
significant learning curve.
However, mismanagement of books and records of the LLC can have disastrous consequences.
The first thing that should come to mind when properly managing books and records is being
audited by the IRS.
Well kept books and records can make the audit smoother and less intimidating.
The next thing that should come to your mind, is preventing loss from theft or negligence
in management.
Well-kept books and records can help you identify inconsistencies in a transaction.
It can also help you identify areas of waste.
You should also be thinking about business growth or other changes.
At some point, your business may need to have a valuation.
This can happen when a new member wants to join or when an existing member wants to leave
or is no longer available due to death or disability.
Disagreements between Members and Managers may also arise.
Members may demand access to the books and records.
Well-kept records will make it easier to review the legal requirements for resolving differences,
and make it more efficient to provide Members with access to the records.
These are some of the records the LLC will need to maintain:
The original or certified copy of the Certificate of Formation, file-stamped by the Texas Secretary
of State; The original Company Agreement, and its amendments
signed by the Managers; A complete accounting of the LLC's business,
including full and accurate records of each transaction;
A current list of all Members; including each Member's:
Full legal name; last known address; capital contributions; date on which membership became
effective; and percentage of ownership; A current list of all Managers and officers,
including their addresses; Meeting minutes, votes, consents, waivers
and all other records made in the course of LLC management by Members and Managers;
Federal, state, and local tax information, tax returns, and other tax-related documents;
Contracts and agreements between the LLC and Members, Managers, Officers, Employees, Contractors,
Vendors, Suppliers, Landlords, Agents, and any other third party; [and]
Deeds, mortgages, and titles to real property.
This Planning Guide is designed to help you prepare for organizing a new LLC.
The Planning Guide is made up of 5 parts.
Each part has sections.
Each section has an instructional video.
These instructional videos start by explaining the underlying legal concepts for that section.
Each video also includes a demonstration for how to fill out that section of the planning
guide.
In each demonstration, I'll show you how I would use the guide to plan an LLC called
"Fake LLC".

We Teach Texas, Texas A&M University-Commerce - Duration: 1:27.
I've honestly always wanted to be a teacher before I could even remember.
I learned that I loved learning and I wanted to be that person that helped
students realize that they loved learning.
Education is not anything you just jump into.
We are a two semester student teaching program.
From day one our students are working with students.
They're getting that basket of tools to work with
so that when they're out there day one by themselves they're ready.
Experience in front of a classroom of students nothing could take the place of that.
We think that in order to keep teachers in the classroom the longest and
to help longevity they need that kind of preparation so that they know what
they're gonna have out there.
I really believe strongly that being able to go
to Commerce and be a student teacher in a real school for a full year any
obstacle that comes to you you'll be ready for it.
Schools or principals they fight for our teachers because they come in so well prepared,
they come in often looked at like a second year teacher.
The education program at A&M-Commerce I really don't have enough words to thank them
