"The injured Rudy Guerrero, who was onstage much of the time, portrayed both the dignified Theseus and the growly, cloaked Oberon with barely a twitch, except in the dance. Leslie [sic] Currier's Puck, in goat pants and tail, was consistently caprine. Veteran performer Thomas Lynch played Peter Quince, the beleaguered director of Pyramus and Thisbe, and Jonathan Gonzalez captured the wonderful role of Bottom."

Ok ladies,
So I just updated my post related to my prior placenta previa, which is now totally resolved per my 28 week scan that I had today. Now, as if the Gods heard my sigh of relief, the Dr. (perinatologist) mentions during the scan, "baby's growth is ooooooh-kay, maybe a lagging a little... I'd like to see you back in 6-8 weeks to check growth again."
huh? Totally didn't see that one coming. Wow, Dr., thanks for the extremely vague, anxiety-inducing comment. I was by myself as DH was at work and I of course didn't ask any questions at the time due to surprise/shock. FWIW, my weight gain has been appropriate, my BG and BP are fine (per regular visits/GDM screening). Fundal height is within normal range (-2 cm, which I measured -2 with my DD all the way until delivery-she was born just under 7# and was 19 inches). I'm now feeling super worried about this (although one side of my brain is inclined to not keep the appointment as I'm wondering about the necessity of this additional scan). I also understand that U/S are not all that accurate the futher you progress along in the pregnancy. Anyone else had a similar experience they can share? I'm feeling a little emotionally overwhelmed at the moment and really having a hard time enjoying this pregnancy due to all of these little things that keep popping up. Especially when my is telling me that everything is ok--then I go in for the appointment and am made to feel like my gut is wrong!!
Sierra, wife to DH , Mama to DD (2012) and DS(2014). In love with my family and hoping for inner .
And also, to add: what would they "do" at 36 weeks if growth is lagging then? I'm thinking that if this were a really big issue to worry about, they would have me come in much earlier than 36 weeks to check growth, but maybe I'm way off in my reasoning....
Sierra, wife to DH , Mama to DD (2012) and DS(2014). In love with my family and hoping for inner .
Hmmmm, seems to be in the normal range, perhaps this doc thinks that is a bit small? IDK.
I measured 2-3 weeks small most of my pregnancy with DD1, which I gained way more than my other pregnancies and to me, my belly looked way bigger.... anyways, DD1 was over 10 lbs and 21 inches. I think as long as it is within the range....
Also, I have noticed that different providers measure differently, even from themselves, depending on the day.
SAHM to Chloe«- 6/2008 (10 lbs, 5 oz), Hannah- 9/2010 (9 lbs, 12 oz), Liam- 2/2013 (9 lbs, 6 oz)
How's your fundal height coming along? What about your weight gain?
Midwife (CPM, LDM) and homeschooling mama to:
14yo ds 11yo dd 9yo ds and 7yo ds and 2yo ds
I've gained 23 lbs so far at 28 weeks and my fundal height is 26 cm.
Sierra, wife to DH , Mama to DD (2012) and DS(2014). In love with my family and hoping for inner .
That seems strange he would say that and then not do anything for 6-8 weeks. I would take that as a good sign not to worry. When I started measuring small at 36 weeks (-3cm) they did an u/s and then wanted to do another one a week later. I think the idea is that they can induce once you hit 37 weeks if it looks like baby isn't thriving as they would like. I would just keep eating healthy and drinking tons of water to keep fluid levels up, which is my issue.

Competition for South County students gets testy
Sweetwater district makes aggressive moves for children attending charters
CHULA VISTA A battle over middle school students in South County has erupted with the Sweetwater Union High School District trying to lure students away from non-district charter schools in an organized campaign that includes handing out leaflets in school parking lots.
The recruitment effort comes on the heels of the announcement by Sweetwater that it is excluding students who attend seventh- and eighth- grade at charter schools in nearby elementary school districts from its guaranteed entrance agreement with San Diego State University known as the Compact for Success.
"It is unfortunate that they're trying to create fear in the hearts of our parents," said Franciso Escobedo, superintendent of the Chula Vista Elementary School District. "The great thing is our parents are intelligent consumers. They know the quality of instruction. We're not going to have a war. We're going to let our results do the talking… We want to work together with Sweetwater but it seems fruitless."
Sweetwater Superintendent Ed Brand said the district is simply trying to tell its story to parents in the community so they know all their educational options. He said he asked the superintendents of the Chula Vista Elementary School District and the South Bay Union School District to allow Sweetwater representatives to present information about their programs at parent meetings but he was turned down.
"Certainly there is a segment of our community that may not like our attempts and we certainly don't claim to be perfect," Brand said. "What we think we need to do and will continue to do is tell the Sweetwater story and attempt to touch more people in the community about the many positive things that are happening.
"If we can't go through the door we will go through the side and figure out another way to access those parents," Brand said. "At the end of the day, we are not afraid of the competition."
Five South County charter middle schools have enrolled hundreds of students, which has cost the Sweetwater district millions of dollars in state funding.
Supporters of Sweetwater's Southwest Middle School have been handing out brochures touting the attributes of the school this week in parking lots at Nestor Langugage Academy, a South Bay Union School District school, and the Chula Vista Learning Community Charter school, a Chula Vista Elementary School District school.
The two-sided leaflet includes a grid that compares the attributes of Southwest students with charter school students, listing such thing as access to high school classes, content area specialist teachers, rigorous science instruction in science labs, competitive sports through before and after school programs and access to technology such as netbooks and smart boards.
In bold type, the leaflet states: "Students who enroll at Southwest Middle are eligible for guaranteed admission to SDSU."
Sweetwater spokeswoman Lillian Leopold said the leaflets were made to promote the school and are being handed out by parents, administrators and students. Parent meetings at the middle schools also are planned.
Leopold said there's a "short window of opportunity" for seventh graders who want to transfer to be eligible for the Compact for Success. The deadline to request a transfer is Dec. 16.

Google's dead products graveyard is filling up fast, as the search giant continues to cut dead weight from its portfolio, this time axing widely known products including Google Gears and Google Wave.
Google's spring clean started in earnest in September, when CEO Larry Page unveiled the tech titan's plan to "put more wood behind fewer arrows" and focus its product strategy; and if some products get killed on that quest, so be it. Google has already put a host of notable products out of their misery, including Google Desktop and Google Buzz and Google Labs.
This week's Google product cuts, which deep-six seven different Google offerings, mark the third wave in what Google is now calling its "off-season spring cleaning series."
"To recap, we're in the process of shutting a number of products which haven't had the impact we'd hoped for, integrating others as features into our broader product efforts, and ending several which have shown us a different path forward. Overall, our aim is to build a simpler, more intuitive, truly beautiful Google user experience," wrote Google Fellow and Senior Vice President of Operations Urs Holzle in a Google Blog post.
Most notable in this round, Google took the hatchet to Google Gears and Google Wave. The Google Gears browser extension for creating offline Web applications, which Google launched in 2007, was already tossed in March, but Google said this week that come December 1 it will say so long to Gears-based Gmail and Calendar offline, which will stop working across all browsers on that day. And later in December, Gears will no longer be available for download.
"This is part of our effort to help incorporate offline capabilities into HTML5 …," Holzle wrote, adding that Gmail, Calendar and Docs can now be accessed offline in Chrome.
Meanwhile, Google said will bid Google Wave a fond farewell. Google launched Wave in 2009 as a real-time Web-based communication and collaboration platform. In August 2010, Google said it would stop development of Google Wave. And now, Google will make Wave read-only and users won't be able to create new Waves come Jan. 31, 2012. Then, on April 30, 2012, Google will completely shut down Wave. Google said users can continue to export individual waves using Wave's existing PDF export feature until the service is turned off, there are also open source projects like Apache Wave and Walkaround available for users that want to continue using the technology.
More Google products on the chopping block
Google also plans to bury Google Bookmarks Lists, an experimental feature for sharing bookmarks and collaborating with friends. Bookmarks Lists will end on December 19 and all bookmarks within Lists will be retained and labeled for easier identification while the rest of Google Bookmarks will continue to function normally.
Google Friend Connect, a feature that lets Webmasters add social features to their sites by embedding snippets of code, will also be put to bed. Google will kill Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites on March 1, 2012 and Google is encouraging Friend Connect users to make the leap to Google+ to keep in contact with friends and followers.
Google will remove Google Search Timeline, the graph of historical results for a search query. Google said users will be able to restrict any search to particular time periods using the refinement tools on the left-hand side of the search page. And users that want to see graphs of historical Web search trends can use other services from Google, such as google.com/trends and google.com/insights/search, which present data since 2004. For more historical data, Google said the "ngram viewer" in Google Books offers similar information.
Knol, which Google launched in 2007 as a tool to let experts collaborate on articles and Web content, will work as usual until April 30, 2012 and knolls can be downloaded to a file and or migrated to WordPress.com. Then, from May 1, 2012 to Oct. 1 2012, knolls will no longer be viewable, but can be downloaded and exported. After that, Knol content will be no longer accessible. Google said. Google said it has been working with Solvitor and Crowd Favorite to create Annotum, an open-source scholarly authoring and publishing platform based on WordPress.
And lastly, Google will put an end to its Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal initiative, which was developed to drive down the cost of renewable energy. Google has published its results and said it will continue to work for cleaner, more efficient energy, but will close its Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal efforts.
"At this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google to take this research to the next level," Google wrote.

Ace Combat 2 continues it's predecessor's arcade style gameplay, but with numerous graphical improvements to both the models and environment. Notably, Ace Combat 2 was the first game in the series to incorporate Ace Pilots, distinguishable from ordinary pilots by being labelled on the HUD under various aliases. The player can unlock twice as many aircraft as Air Combat, ranging from the Multirole F/A-18E to Stealth Bomber F-117a Nighthawk. While the story is very basic, it lays the ground work for later games; similar maps and Aces are featured in it's successors. Depending on the player's actions there are three different endings.AircraftsA-4 SkyhawkF-4E Phantom IIMiG-21 FishbedKfir C.7A-6E IntruderF-16C Fighting FalconX-29AJ35J DrakenA-10A Thunderbolt IISu-25 FrogfootMiG-29A FulcrumF-14A TomcatTornado F.3F-117A NighthawkRafale MMiG-31 FoxhoundEF-2000 TyphoonJAS-39C GripenF/A-18E Super HornetSu-35 Super FlankerF-15S/MTDYF-23A Black Widow IIF-22A RaptorXFA-27AcesThe game features enemy "aces", or above-average skilled fighters.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM: Israel's national rail company on Monday confirmed it has prepared a plan for the first railway system to operate in the occupied West Bank, at the request of the transport ministry.
A spokesman for Israel Railways said the company had put together the plan, which was first reported on Monday by Israeli daily Haaretz.
"We have presented a plan sought by the transport ministry, but for the moment nothing has been done on the ground. The decision on the construction of railways is the responsibility of politicians," he said, on condition of anonymity.
He declined to provide any additional details about the project, and the transport ministry had no immediate comment.
Haaretz said the plan envisioned 475 kilometers (295 miles) of rail on 11 lines that would serve Palestinians and the Jewish settler community in the West Bank.
But the newspaper said the chances of the rail system actually being built were "slim," with diplomatic, legal and budgetary hurdles likely to stymie construction.
No target date for the project has been set, and nor has a budget been drawn up, the paper said.

Last year, Freddie Gibbs and Madlib showed us just how potent they were on their Thuggin EP and got my hopes up that the near future would exhibit a full-length project from the duo. An LP has yet to surface but for the time being, their newest collaborative EP, Shame, will definitely make due. Similar to the formula they used for the first project, Shame includes eight tracks in the form of two full songs, the instrumental and acapella for each song, plus two bonus beats. It's an interesting concept, and I like being able to hear each part of the recording and production process between the two, displaying each of their talents individually while proving the combined skill set is nothing to fuck with.
The title cut, "Shame" features BJ the Chicago Kid seamlessly transitioning his vocals amongst the original samples and to a lazy ear, his vocals could easily be confused for those of the original. I wasn't familiar with BJ other than seeing his name around online but after hearing him on "Shame," I plan to check out more of his work. Madlib's sample of choice for this track, The Manhattans, "Wish That You Were Mine," is a heartfelt tale of adultery that he dissects into pieces creating a remix of sorts. The result is an instrumental full of manipulated but soulful and melodic loops placed together to create a loose yet beautiful beat, providing the foundation for a story gangsta Gibbs is able to effectively narrate. Stomping on familiar ground, Gibbs paints a lyrical portrait of lust and betrayal, reciting lyrics of infidelity from the opposite sex and, his self-promoted passion for sleeping with women that are already spoken for. He works his delivery between a smooth laidback flow and rapid-fire double time bars while dropping lines like, "But I let that ass convince me/Took it in there and hit that/wish I could say it was accidental/like I slipped on a banana peel and fell in that pussy." This beat is definitely for the emcee that's a writer more than a vocalist and I credit Fred here with creating a flow structure that fits the obscure feel of the beat and making it sound so effortless.
"Terrorist" features harrowing verses from Gibbs offset by Madlib's ridiculous flip of Maynard Ferguson's, "Mister Mellow." Emphasizing the relaxed guitar and a full, cruising bass-line, Madlib turns this track into a smoothed out instrumental that doesn't sound as eclectic as "Shame" but is layered with pieces of the original, not straying far from the vibes the original song creates. Gibbs' verse comes in the form of Fred rapping from a fly on the wall perspective, illustrating the ill's of the life, and speaking from a place that I'm sure he is all too familiar with; a short and straightforward account of the "fuck-it by any means attitude" that many of our country's worst neighborhoods have bred. Off top, Freddie G. lets you know that it's not going to be about fun and games beginning his verse with, "Tales of the terrorist/young black felonious/red-blooded American/gave this bitch a taste of that lil' boy she cherish it/fucked her veins up now she shoot her foot with the heroin." "Terrorist" portrays the very vivid account into the ideology of a drug dealer/criminal and the distress that they bring unto their own people and onto their own soil i.e. the terrorist.
Of the two "bonus" beats that Madlib offers up on Shame, "Later That Night" is the stellar cut. It's a psychedelic and dusty flip of The Moments classic song, "Sexy Mama," which was also used on The Firm's album for the track "Firm Family." "Later That Night" also features some introductory vocals from Redman, which only add to the creative artistry that is this flip. The beat is random and I don't believe that anyone would really rap over it, but all that aside, Madlib's timing and ability to create almost perfect transitions between the loops is genius. Like I stated earlier, he is basically making remixes of the original songs and leaving space for vocals rather than looping one component of the song adding his own drums and turning it into a beat.
I was unable to determine the sample used for the 55 second long beat, "The Morning After" but it's definitely a lo-fi vintage song. Once again, I would be surprised to hear someone rapping over this and I'm not sure what the point was in adding the track. However, it is a dope little instrumental that is choppier than the other ones, creating what sounds kind of like an audible collage.
I found the whole Shame project to be a very solid listen the first time around and since getting the EP, I've been playing the hell out of the single "Shame." I'm honestly not sure why they didn't just release the two full songs as individual singles, but I'm not here to judge the Stones Throw marketing tactics but just as with Thuggin, I'm left wanting more. However, let's hope that they continue to tease us with high quality tracks such as "Shame" and "Terrorist" until that full-length record comes out. You can also have the extra beats and acapella's because they are unnecessary. All I ask is for more of the uncanny and powerful chemistry that is Freddie Gibbs' relentless lyricism and hard-nosed delivery combined with the smooth and sonically diverse sounds that make up Madlib's ingenious instrumentals.

Leo Leiderman, an Israeli economics professor, was nominated to be the Bank of Israel governor.
The nomination Wednesday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yair Lapid came two days after Jacob Frenkel withdrew his candidacy over accusations that he shoplifted at a duty-free shop in Hong Kong.
Leiderman, a professor at Tel Aviv University and former head of its school of economics, is the chief economist for Bank Hapoalim and the former head of the Bank of Israel Research Department, where he worked under Frenkel. He received his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago.
If his appointment is approved by the Appointments Advisory Committee, Leiderman would succeed Stanley Fischer, who stepped down last month.
Leiderman, an Argentina native, immigrated to Israel at 17.

Carina Cellars Description
The charming town of historic Los Olivos in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley is the setting for the simple and hospitable tasting room of Carina Cellars. Noted for its eclectic art galleries, unique shopping and memorable restaurants, Los Olivos has a number of storefront tasting rooms. Carina Cellars is a relatively large space and is stocked with wines, olive oils, grape seed oils, pasta sauces and winery logo clothes.
The emphasis at Carina Cellars is on the Rhone varieties, including Syrah and Viognier, with a number of vineyard-designated wines to taste and compare. The winery is in nearby Buellton, and tours and tasting there are available by appointment only.
The vineyard focus is to discern a wine's unique "terroir" that is derived from the soil, location and climate. The winemaking style is a minimalist approach that allows the grapes' unique attributes to develop. Carina sources their grapes from the Santa Ynez and Santa Maria growing areas, as well as from Napa valley for their Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah blend.

Maryland Horsemen Optimistic After Ehrlich's Election
"Gov. Ehrlich has been a long-time supporter of the racing industry," De Francis said. "He knows the industry. He cares about it."De Francis said it's too soon to speculate on slots legislation in the upcoming General Assembly session, which opens in January. He said with a Republican governor and a Democratic legislature you never know what's going to happen."But what's critically important is that after eight years of having a governor who knew nothing, and cared even less, about this industry," De Francis said, "we now have someone with a long history of recognizing the importance of the industry to the state."

text: Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels hit historic milestone Science 01 June 12 by Duncan Geere Shutterstock Four hundred parts per million. Over the Arctic, in the spring of 2012, monitoring stations reported concentrations of carbon dioxide of more than 400 parts per million.That's a notable figure, as ice core data from Antarctica suggests that the highest concentrations seen in the atmosphere over the last 400,000 years didn't reach much above 300 parts per million before 1900. Some scientists believe it's been more than 800,000 years since Earth last saw carbon dioxide levels in the 400s, though levels are thought to have been far higher in prehistoric times.The number doesn't represent the entire world, which stands currently at 395ppm, but carbon dioxide tends to circulate reasonably fast in the atmosphere so it won't be very long until the milestone is reached globally.Carbon dioxide warms the planet as it acts as an effective greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas absorbs heat emitted by the planet outward into space and then re-radiates half of it back down to the surface, acting like a blanket over the Earth. While carbon dioxide isn't the most effective greenhouse gas around ( methane and CFCs, for example, have a greater effect on a per-molecule basis), it's the most problematic because there's so much of it, and the amount that humanity is digging out of the ground and pumping into the air is increasing.Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Iceland and Mongolia have all reported carbon dioxide concentrations of above 400 parts per million, though those are likely to dip back a little again in the coming months as the northern hemisphere transitions into summer, photosynthesis increases and the great taiga forests of Canada and Siberia begin the sisyphean task of turning that carbon dioxide back into carbon and oxygen.Of course, the 400 milestone is more of a psychological one than a scientific marker. "The fact that it's 400 is significant," said Jim Butler, global monitoring director at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Lab in Boulder, Colorado. "It's just a reminder to everybody that we haven't fixed this and we're still in trouble."The International Energy Agency now believes that it's becoming unlikely that Europe's goal of limiting climate change to two degrees will be achievable.Image credit: Shutterstock Comments 400 ppm, we've ain't seen nothing yet, seems the "debaters" are pushing to continue the greatest human experiment ever in their wishful thinking that CO2 levels are a neutral factor in driving increasing planet tempertures. Jeremy Jun 1st 2012 More money needs to be funded towards renewable energy source development such as fusion and tidal power for the UK especially. With these infrastructures and the move towards fuel cell vehicles, in which the hydrogen is formed using the renewable energy, the CO2 levels will decrease. It is simple, but politics will always get in the way of the new generation reaching their potential. Move out of the way old men, your time is up. SB Jun 3rd 2012 so we went from 0.0395% to .04% CO2. the temps have continued to show no statistically significant warming since 1998. The ice sheet in the arctic is back to its pre-hystiera size and there are more than twice the number of polar bears than the scientists say there should be. time to find a new boogie man. aj Jun 4th 2012 In reply to aj Ah, that ol' 1998 strawman. Climate changes are generally understood by climatologists in terms of trends over 30 year periods, not 14 year ones; besides, 1998 was exceptional owing to the El-nino effect. Try looking at the temperature trends over the past 30 years or more - it shows a different picture than the one you claim.This year the Arctic sheet reached its lowest observed level, and heaven knows where you got that polar bear figure from. Nigel Lawson? John Dec 9th 2012 Put this in perspective,we need co2 of at least 250 parts per million just to maintain our existing plant life,or none of us would be here.400 will create plant diversity also welcome news for this planet,but bad news for the climate liars who want to fleece us all. mike Jun 6th 2012 In reply to mike Can you describe how 400ppm will "create plant diversity"?

I have been following, with not a little incredulity, the letters concerning the anthropic principle, kicked off by Paul Davies's article (30 June, p 30). And I have thought, as I always do on encountering such stuff, of a tale by Douglas Hofstadter, which I retell as follows.
Once upon a time there was a muddy puddle. Having been muddy-puddling about all day, when evening came she was very, very tired.
But her luck was in: as she eased her shoulders down into the little hollow in the rock, sighing a contented sigh as she did so, she marvelled - and not for the first time - at just how amazing it was that, right down to the tiniest indentation, that little hollow should be exactly the right shape for her. Truly, it must have known she was coming.
But then, she was only a muddy puddle and had, ...

BOLTON LANDING - Local resident Carol Shaw, who is battling cancer and spending her cash on medical bills rather than her property taxes, is likely to get some help from her friends.
In hearing of Shaw's plight, Bolton Town Supervisor Kathleen Simmes and other town officials have planned a fundraiser to be held Saturday June 13 at the Conservation Park.
The public is invited to the event, which begins at 5 p.m. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to share. Soft drinks will be provided. In addition to a voluntary gathering of cash donations, a 50-50 raffle and a silent auction will be held.
A poster by the event, issued by the town Tuesday reads, "We take care of each other - this is what Bolton does best."
Shaw was unable to speak yesterday in response, as the cancer and resulting radiation treatments have silenced her voice. But she did respond in e-mails about her situation.
My town has always been the greatest place to live," she said. "These people really care about each other, and all this overwhelms me - I just feel there are so many others out there that need the help more than I.
Shaw said she has terminal medullary cancer, and she hopes the loss of her voice is only a temporary result of the radiation.
Shaw said Simmes suggested the fundraiser to her when the supervisor was visiting her in the radiation waiting room, where her daughter is also having treatments for cancer.
"It just amazes me how many people and lives this disease touches," Shaw said Tuesday in an e-mail.
Until recently, Shaw worked as an Information Specialist for the Adirondack Mountain Club. She had no health insurance program, and now must rely on Medicaid reimbursement.
Shaw has two children, her son Tim and her daughter Tina. "They both live close by thankfully, and have been a great help to me," she said. "I also have four grandchildren and the joy of our lives, a great-granddaughter.
For details on the fundraiser, call Kathy Simmes or Penny Cleavland at the Bolton Town Hall.

A Message from UTSA President Ricardo Romo
May 2013
Dear Friends,
Amazing things are happening at UTSA as we continue to hit major milestones on our path to Tier One status. And every milestone we reach is having a ripple effect on San Antonio.
Last week, nearly 4,400 UTSA students walked the stage at our first Commencement ceremonies in the Alamodome. These students are now turning the exceptional education opportunities they had at UTSA into leadership roles as business executives… or starting new companies… or making new scientific discoveries… all right here in San Antonio. I am so proud of our graduates and all they are doing to contribute to the success and prosperity of our city.
Also this month, we received another major recognition in our advancement to top-tier status. The Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University has named UTSA as one of the top 500 universities in the world in research, citations and performance. The Academic Ranking rates more than 1,200 universities in 43 countries globally, and UTSA is one of only 150 U.S. universities to make the list. This achievement, along with our ranking in Times Higher Education as one of the world's top 100 universities under 50 years old, is an acknowledgement that UTSA is among the most respected institutions in education.
Another significant step is reaching our initial financial goal of $120 million in UTSA's inaugural capital campaign, two years ahead of schedule. The tremendous support we have received from the San Antonio community has given us the momentum to increase our Tier One capital campaign reach to $175 million by August 2015. Every gift we receive will make a real difference in supporting graduate students, recruiting top undergraduates, supporting faculty research and building state-of-the-art athletics facilities.
I am confident that we will meet and surpass our goals because San Antonio has always been extremely generous to us.
Our top-tier city certainly deserves a top-tier university, and I am so grateful for all you do to help UTSA and our city receive the recognition they deserve.
Go Roadrunners!
