Company plans to expand Eagle Ford pipeline June 04, 2013 03:09 CDT San Antonio (AP) -- Houston-based Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP says it will invest about $107 million to expand its crude and condensate pipeline system deeper into the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. The San Antonio Express-News (reports that the expansion is supported by a long-term contract with ConocoPhillips. It will extend the 178-mile pipeline 31 miles from Kinder Morgan's station in DeWitt County to ConocoPhillips' central delivery facility near Helena in Karnes County. A Kinder Morgan official says the pipeline expansion will provide more flexibility to customers looking to move Karnes County crude and condensate to Houston-area markets. The expansion also will help Kinder Morgan with its commitment to deliver as much as 300,000 barrels per day of crude and condensate from the Eagle Ford Shale. Information from: San Antonio Express-News,

BLOODY CHRISTMAS The Murder Of LaSalle County Sheriff Charles B. McKinney by C. F. Eckhardt Cotulla, Texas, the county seat of LaSalle County, lies in the deep brush country of South Texas, just about 65 miles northeast of Laredo. Today the main artery in town is I-35, for Cotulla is directly on the most-used of all NAFTA routes. A little over a hundred years ago, the main travel artery was the International & Great Northern Railroad. It was cold in Cotulla on the morning of December 26, 1886. Mrs. Galloway, from the now-ghost town of Twohig, about 8 miles south of Cotulla on the I&GN, arrived at the sheriff's office. She swore out a warrant accusing one Lorenzo Dow White of the heinous crime of rape, made worse by the victim being her eleven-year-old daughter. The girl, who accompanied her mother, verified the accusation. With the warrant in hand Sheriff Charles Brown McKinney, known as 'C. B.,' and his deputy, S. V. Edwards, known as 'Pete,' boarded the train for the stop at Twohig. In Twohig the two of ...

We own spectrum or a slice of radio waves in specific counties in Texas so this makes us a licensed provider. As a licensed provider only Evolve and its customers are allowed to transmit in our slice of radio waves. We purchased what is called Band 17 across South Texas. AT&T purchased this same Band 17 in many of the counties around us like in Travis, Williamson, Bexar and Harris. With this spectrum we can offer Internet service via the 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) just as AT&T and Verizon are. Evolve Broadband’s 4G LTE Wireless service will allow you to download at Cable Internet speeds and watch streaming video like NetFlix without buffering. Since we have local towers we don't have that slow out of the gate start like satellite does and our data plans are designed with lots of data so you are not always worried about how much you are using.

Below is the write-up from "Capitol Inside" naming me one of the Top 10 Best Legislators as well as the link below. "Chuy" Hinojosa Texas Senate McAllen In the eyes of the folks back home in the Rio Grande Valley, the measure that State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa authored to create a first-rate university in the southern tip of Texas was a bigger deal than all of the other 1,436 bills that cleared the Legislature combined this year. The booming border area has never received the respect in Austin that it thinks it deserves - and the installation of an institution that will be part of the University of Texas System and the shuttering of a couple of low-level schools is about as good as it gets in terms of what the South Texas delegation has the ability to do at the Capitol. While the entire local delegation worked as a team to land the new UT branch, Hinojosa made it clear who the boss had been and will be with an unexpected turf fight maneuver late in the process on the location of the medical school th ...

I am in Hawaii for my daughter's graduation present and found an online sex ad for a young girl who I had found a sex ad for in South Texas not too long ago. That means one of two things: - They are moving her around, which we know they do with our American children to meet demand and avoid detection. For example, Traffick911 rescued a 14-year-old sold in 6 states in 30 days. - They are using the ad for bait-and-switch. Traffickers make much more money off children than adults, so they will advertise someone young, but it is an adult when the john gets there. Many tines, they will go through with it at the higher price because they've gone to all the trouble of arranging it. It's not OK that our U.S. children can be ordered online and delivered like a pizza.

David B. Barkley First Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient. David B. Barkley swam across river to get information, Medal of Honor recipient David B. Barkley was born in Laredo, Texas, on March 31, 1899, to Josef Barkley, who was stationed there with the U.S. Army, and Antonia Cantu, a Mexican American native of South Texas. The family moved to San Antonio in 1904 after the birth of Barkley's sister, Amelia. Josef Barkley abandoned his family, forcing his son to drop out of school at age 13 to work a series of odd jobs to support his mother and sister. David Barkley enlisted in the Army at 17 and was sent to France during World War I. Throughout his service in the Army he kept his Hispanic heritage a secret for fear of being kept from serving on the front lines (at the time, segregation in the Army kept minority soldiers from serving in combat). Barkley instructed his mother in a letter not to use her maiden name in letters that would prevent his removal from combat. On November 9, 1918, Barkley's unit, Comp ...

About Dave. Dave Roever grew up in a loving, committed family in South Texas. The last thing on his mind was going to war. At the height of the Vietnam War, he received his draft notice. Having no desire to serve in the infantry, he joined the Navy and served as a river boat gunner in the elite Brown Water Black Beret in Vietnam. Eight months into his tour of duty in Vietnam, Dave was burned beyond recognition when a phosphorous grenade he was poised to throw exploded in his hand. The ordeal left him hospitalized for fourteen months, where he underwent numerous major surgeries. His survival and life are miraculous. Today, with his humorous style, Dave Roever is enthusiastically received both nationally and internationally as a public speaker. He is a gifted communicator and speaks in a variety of settings including public schools, military installations, business, men' s and youth conventions, etc. Dave is a frequent guest on national television talk shows. He established compassionate, ongoing missions w ...

Bang Bang Bang...Ba-Bang, it was over. I saw my whole life flash before my eyes. It’s sad it had to end this way, but my luck had to run out sometime. It all started in a small town in South Texas. Growing up in the hood, two bedroom apartment for a family of seven. My parents were both illegal immigrants who worked hard to provide for us. They always did their best to keep us in the right track. But one day, my mother got sick and needed surgery. We had no insurance much less the money to cover such a big bill. We ended up in a pretty big debt to bring my mother back to health. With me being the oldest i had to step up and get a job. Nobody was willing to hire and eighteen year old with no experience, so I ended up asking Brian for help. I had known Brian since we were kids; we used to be tight but then once he started high school things changed. He started to hustle on the streets and doing all types of stupid things. That’s when I stopped hanging with him. Brian offered me a deal; he would cover my ...

Edinburg, Hidalgo County land major components of UT medical school “on monumental day” with blockbuster legislation merging UT-Pan American with UT-Brownsville By DAVID A. DÍAZ Legislativemedia The Texas House of Representatives on Friday, May 17, gave preliminary approval to blockbuster legislation, authorized the previous day by the Senate, to merge The University of Texas-Pan American with the University of Texas-Brownsville – and bring major components of a UT medical school to Edinburg and Hidalgo County. The landmark measure, Senate Bill 24 by Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen, and Rep. René Oliveira, D-Brownsville, would have immediate, long-range, and unprecedented positive impacts on the economy, health care, and higher education in deep South Texas, said Rep. Terry Canales, D-Edinburg. “On this monumental day, the Rio Grande Valley has forever changed the way people will look at us.

I posted on my BLOG!!   Read below or hop on over to Open Road I long for adventure.  I am a dreamer of sorts.  For a time in college, I dreamed of taking to the open road by way of 18 wheels.  Truck-driving was a profession I seriously considered.  The open road, new landscapes and discovery intrigued me. In the last year of my current profession as a petroleum landman, I have driven to Michigan, East Texas, South Texas and most currently West Texas.  I spend a good ten hours each week traveling from Dallas to Midland and countless miles in between.  One could argue, truck-driving is my secondary vocation.  Sans 14 wheels.  Traveling alone gives you time to evaluate yourself, your life’s direction and most importantly, priorities.  These open roads I craved, have shifted my dreams to people and places I have known all my life.  There is discovery and great adventure to be had in places you’re most familiar with.  Community to enter into.  New people to connect with.  Old friends to rec ...

Mr. Masso went to be with Jesus a few days ago. His story was the classic story of America - An immigrant from Jerusalem who built many businesses in South Texas from the ground up. I have two memories of Mr. Masso 1) Went to a Dallas Holm/David Wilkerson event in Harlingen with Mr. and Mrs. Masso and Mark when I was a freshman. He told me his story all the way there... Had such a good time. 2) Just after I learned to drive, I was turning North on 10th Street under the overpass, and ended up the wrong way in the turning lane. Mr. Masso was there, blocked traffic with his car, jumped out of his car and directed traffic around me, all the while telling me to back up and get in the correct lane. We would laugh about that years later. We will see you again, my friend.

A Slight Risk for Severe Thunderstorms Friday and Friday Night… Timing and Overview: Gulf moisture will continue to be pumped into South Texas through Friday, as a frontal boundary approaches the area. By late Friday afternoon, the atmosphere will have plenty of moisture and instability, with the frontal boundary providing an additional focus for showers and thunderstorms to develop late Friday afternoon and Friday night. Also, some weak upper level forcing will also be present which will also help to generate showers and thunderstorms. Although there is the potential for some thunderstorms to become strong to severe Friday afternoon, at this time it looks as through the better chance for strong to severe storms will be Friday night. Storms are expected to develop over Central Texas and Edwards Plateau late Friday afternoon and Friday evening. These storms have the potential to move east and southeast during the evening and overnight hours, possibly impacting the western portions of the region late Frid ...

MCALLEN, Texas — A federal grand jury indicted three more former South Texas law enforcement officers on drug conspiracy charges Wednesday, bringing to seven the number of members of a now-disbanded drug task force to face charges. The superseding indictment added three more former Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies who were members of the so-called Panama Unit, a joint task force between that agency and the Mission Police Department targeting street-level drug sales in that South Texas city, according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office. Also added to the case were Fernando Guerra Sr. and Fernando Guerra Jr., who had been separately charged last month. According to documents filed in the elder Guerra's original case, he sat atop a drug trafficking ring that employed corrupt police to steal drugs from other traffickers. Guerra Sr. told the confidential informant that whoever was responsible for delivering the cocaine to him at the pre-determined location would be stopped by corrupt police offi ...

Here is part four of "The Blind Clown," my continuing story of life as a visually impaired high school student in a rural South Texas school. “The Blind Clown” Part 4 By Roel Adrian Garcia I became accustomed to life as a visually impaired student at San Diego High school. Two years went by, my sophomore and junior years, and I experienced a world I never thought possible or ever imagined. I experienced a plethora of emotions during those two years that ranged from hurt and humiliation to lovesickness and loneliness. I hid most of those emotions underneath the surface. People only saw the smiling, easy-going joker—because that’s whom I wanted others to see. It worked, yes, but by not displaying my emotions, they remained suppressed. Those years, formidable as they were, shaped me in that manner. I still have problems showing my emotions to people. It’s much easier to write down how I feel than it is to tell someone how my feelings. At times in my life that has hurt me as well as others around me ...

A few water droplets just so happened to fall upon the screen from the clouds covering the blue wavelength particles that would be seen otherwise in the atmosphere up to six miles around my visual perimeter upon the surface of the earth. Upon seeing the droplets under certain background colors on the surface of the screen of the universal Turing machine, such as white and grey I noticed that within the droplets themselves I could see the colors red, blue, and green. Therefore my question is: why do those colors appear in the water droplets when the IPad is moved in various positions from the visual stimulus as in a hologram?

Car shopping this weekend... if anyone knows of some good car deals, please let me know!

HR 716: Recognizing Harlingen Day. Advised this is home to South Texas' Bass Pro Shop.

Garden Tip: March 6. Hmm. Slowly warming trend. Hmm. For those of you in DFW and the east-west I-20 and I-30 corridor, consider this my posting that you can apply Halts, Dimension or other pre-emergent weedkiller to your lawn now through March 15. These are PRE- (as in "before") EMERGENT (as in "germination") weedkillers. They attack seeds of crabgrass (an annual weed that does NOT come back from clumps) and grassburs (sandburs). For the weeds you can see in your lawn now, a pre-emergent should have been applied in early September. Do not use these if you intend to plant new turf in the same area this spring. Water modestly after you apply them. South Texas, you're at your absolute deadline. Far North Texas, wait two more weeks. Do not use in flower and vegetable gardens (mulch instead). For more info on Spring Lawn Care, please see my "Notes" above. Taping TV all day. Will not be able to answer questions here. Thanks.

Now that the day is winding down a bit, hope y'all had a good day... Let's have a roll call. Age, location, single or not, favorite drink I'll startt 29, South Texas, single :(, sweet tea *Tex

We see a lot of different weather situations around here... DEC 2004: Our first White Christmas here in South Texas.  Most of our area picked up an unexpected foot and a half of snow that fell on the night before Christmas. SEPT 2005: We all evacuated because of the threat from Hurricane Rita... people piled onto the 2 main routes leading of Brazoria County (Texas 36 and 288) and the 3 main routes out of Matagorda County (Texas 60, 71, and 111).  People sat in vehicles for hours in the blistering heat.  Millions of people evacuated, making it one of the worst in history.  We were fortunate that in the end, Hurricane Rita missed us. SEPT 2008: Once again, we all piled up onto the highways, this time to evacuate from Hurricane Ike.  This storm would have a greater effect on the area, especially on Surfside Beach and areas to the northeast of us.  The only upside to this storm was the cooler weather directly afterwards, which helped with the cleaning process. DEC 2008 and 2009: We received snow in Dece ...

What a blessed day- Left Pearsall very early this am to meet with personnel of Lowe's Foods/ Headquarter @ Canyon Lake. With butterflies in my stomach, I headed out. With many thoughts (will my trip be in vain or will they enjoy my flavorful Moore Salsa and Products like you guys do here in South Texas). Nevertheless, I arrived at the store and a sense of calmness came over me. I walked upstairs and what a pleasant greeting. Walked into the meeting room, told the Moore Salsa Story, presented my products and left there with contract papers all in about 15 minutes. SO, COMING SOON TO 4 OF LOWE'S FOOD STORES (MY CHOICE) MOORE SALSA AND PRODUCTS. GOD IS AWESOME!

In medical isolation in South Texas, 100 miles or so from Mexico’s border, is a man who embodies one of U.S. health officials’ greatest worries: He is the first person to cross and be held in detention while infected with one of the most severe types of drug-resistant tuberculosis known today. Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis has been a growing problem in India for years. Now an even more extreme strain of the deadly disease — resistant to all of the drugs normally used to treat it — is causing concern. WSJ’s Natacha Butler reports from Mumbai. .. His three-month odyssey through 13 countries—from his homeland of Nepal through South Asia, Brazil, Mexico, and finally into Texas—shows the way in which dangerous new strains of the disease can migrate across the world unchecked. Tuberculosis, an ancient, fatal airborne disease, has been treatable for decades with a cocktail of drugs. However, shoddy medical practices world-wide have enabled the bacteria to mutate and, in some cases, become all b ...

YOU NEED A JOB?? West Texas and other Texas Cities are about to OIL BOOM big time starting right now and though out the year/ years. So if your community is not keeping you busy consider moving to Texas! Here is some news I have been hearing for quite some time. One company will be hiring 30,000 new people in San Angelo,Texas so boom will be going there too. One Midland Oil Company will be drilling 8,000 new oil wells in the next three years! Between San Angelo,Texas and Sterling City in the next few years they will be producing over ONE BILLION BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL will take years to do that.

!!! "A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President *** Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on state charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners at the Willacy County Detention Center in Raymondville, TX. It criticizes Cheney’s “85 billion” dollar investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the “top three [private prison] companies” running the federal detention centers. The indictment also accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and “at least misdemeanor assaults” on detainees through his “tremendous amount of influence” on the agency, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that provides contracts to these private prison companies." de la Ralph Emmerson

Wednesday, February 13 2013, 11:37 AM CST No-Swim Advisory For Bolivar GALVESTON, Texas (AP) -- Health officials have advised swimmers to avoid some parts of a popular South Texas recreation area because of elevated levels of bacteria. The Galveston County Health District says concentrated amounts of bacteria are present at 12 locations along the Bolivar Peninsula. The peninsula is a narrow strip of land on the Gulf Coast in eastern Galveston County, about 50 miles southeast of Houston. District officials issued the no-swimming advisory Tuesday. They regularly test water conditions in the area, and additional testing will determine how long the advisory will continue. No elevated levels were found on nearby Galveston Island.

The 2013 Laredo Birding Festival was a huge success this past week. We had a sold out banquet with the amusing Sandy Komito, who related his 1998 Big Year experiences. Thanks to our guides: Chuck Sexton, Michael Marsden, Jim Hailey, Lee Hoy, Susan Foster, Judy Kestner and Sandy Komito who did an amazing job of trip leading. The final number of bird species ID'd was 164 -- a record for a "one-time" count in Laredo. Some of the more interesting birds were: numerous White-collared Seedeaters, all three Kingfishers, the Zone-tailed, Gray and White-tailed Hawks, Red-billed Pigeon, Western Grebe, Black-tailed Gnatcatcher, and the all the other South Texas specialties. About the only miss I can think of would be the Muscovy Duck. If you haven't birded Laredo, you don't know what you have missed. And a BIG thanks to all of you who attended this year's festival. See you next year!! Huge thanks to the Rio Grande International Study Center who organized the event in partnership with the Monte Mucho Audubon Society . ...

So, I leave Wal Mart, and the song "I'm Getting My Redneck On" comes on the radio. Too late Mr. County Crooner, as I saw an old man using the F word to a box of Pop Tarts (as did the rest of the store from how loud he was yelling), two women checking out with Great Value everything except for the Tecate beer 24 pack and name brand cigs, and every other South Texas redneck in the store. On another note, the Enquirer let me know that Kris Kardashian and Bruce Jenner (or is it now Brucette, as he is creepily feminine looking now) have settled their divorce, but she broke down crying, OJ is now supposedly *** (hope he is using the glove now), and all the other top news of the day was caught up on. Where would we be without Wal Mart???.Wait, I know that answer!!.:)

I'm always cranky, it's part of my charm, (or lack thereof). I do miss my South Texas crew & our fun-run of roadhouse *** gigs!

I have a friend in the Houston area that would like to see some Geese before they head back north. Does anyone know any good spots for Snow or Greater White-fronted Flocks around Houston? I saw on eBird that the most reports are from Attwater and Anahuac, are they reliable there? Down here in South Texas it seems to be a matter of driving around and looking for freshly plowed fields of corn. Any help much appreciated!

The forecast is on track this evening as rain will develop across South Central Texas by tonight and into Wednesday morning! I'm watching a potent upper level storm system with a good amount of moisture and it's all headed toward South Texas. I do expect showers and maybe a few storms to arrive tonight and this rain shield will gradually build northward and spread eastward by Wednesday morning so prepare for a wet commute. The rain will be more on than off, especially earlier in the day, with some longer periods of steadier rain possible. Rainfall totals may top 1/2" in some spots, especially south of Austin. Temps will hold in the 60s to around 70. This is a Pacific storm so no cold air behind it, in fact temps will solidly be back into the 70s by Thursday and Friday! Have an awesome Wednesday and cheers to the rain, I hope you get a lot in your backyard!!

My 98 yr old grandmother passed away today. She was a great woman who left behind a legacy through the amazing family she created. She will be deeply missed Virginia Franklin Comstock, affectionately called, Grandma or Granny, passed away February 2, 2013 in Cuero, Texas at the age of 98. She was born March 29, 1914 in Grand Junction Colorado to Myrtle and Oscar Melton. Virginia grew up in Oklahoma, married her childhood sweetheart, Miles Comstock, and after the Depression and Dust Bowl, moved to find a better life in the oilfields of South Texas. The family eventually settled in Corpus Christi where Virginia was active in the Sunshine Community, Sundeen School District, and was a long time employee of Pharr South Park Pharmacy. Virginia was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend and felt her greatest accomplishment was her family. Virginia will always be remembered for her sparkling blue eyes and wry sense of humor. Virginia was preceded in death by her mother and father, brother, Ken ...

MOUNTAIN LION [PUMA, COUGAR] The mountain lion is an unspotted cat. Males may be as much as 8 feet, 6 inches; females, 6 feet, 71/2 inches. Weight of three males averaged 184 (160-227) pounds; six females, 118 (105-133) pounds. The mountain lion ranges over much of the Trans-Pecos of West Texas, the southern two-thirds of the Hill Country in Central Texas, and a large portion of the South Texas brushlands as well as in limited areas in North Central Texas. Within this range, the cat is most common in remote, thinly populated ranchlands but may be encountered almost anywhere. Changing land use patterns have resulted in reduced predator control efforts in many lion-populated areas. As a consequence, lion populations currently appear to be holding their own or increasing in the southern, central, and western portions of the state. Retiring and shy by nature, and largely nocturnal by habit, the mountain lion is seldom seen in its native haunts. The diet of the mountain lion consists almost entirely of animal ...

Today’s Cameron County Democratic Party guest speaker was County Commissioner Sonia Benavides. Commissioner Benavides talked about the various border bridges, railway rerouting, island cause way and the east loop projects happening around Brownsville including other parts of the county. Also touching on still the potential opportunity for SpaceX launch site to land here in our town. One tidbit of news to me, SpaceX and an investor’s group has already purchased small plots of land in that general area.

FRIENDSHIP KNOWS NO HOMELESSNESS BY: JENNA DEWITT Gavin Rogers, a San Antonio youth minister, shared in our New Year 2013 issue about his journey giving up home for Lent in 2012. During his time homeless on the streets, he met a man named William who would show him that friendship doesn't recognize economic brackets. Gavin describes his friend as “the closest thing you could get to the stereotypical homeless guy.” William, now in his 50s, has been homeless since high school. He earns money through odd jobs and, until meeting Gavin, didn’t go to shelters or ministries, believing they wouldn’t help him since he was an alcoholic. He met Gavin through the community library’s free computer lab. He made his home in an abandoned shack, his only shelter from the South Texas wind, hail and thunderstorms. It was during one of these storms that Gavin sought out his fellow homeless buddy from the computer lab and asked where he was staying. William invited Gavin to spend the night with him in the shack. “ ...

ARMADILLO. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), a relatively recent addition to the Texas fauna, is the only species of armadillo that occurs in North America, the other twenty or so species of Dasypodidae being restricted to South and Central America. The Texas armadillo is about the size of a large cat; its overall length is about 2½ feet, and adults weigh from twelve to seventeen pounds. Mature females mate in late summer and autumn and give birth to identical quadruplets the following spring. The armadillo's diet consists chiefly of insects, grubs, and spiders, though it also eats such foods as earthworms, small amphibians, and reptiles. Before the mid-1850s the armadillo was known only along the lower Rio Grande Valley. By 1880 it had extended its range across South Texas, and it reached the Hill Country and Austin before the turn of the century. Continuing its movement northward and eastward, the armadillo spread throughout most of Texas and into Louisiana and Oklahoma during the 1920s ...

Ralph "Dusty" Stewart Dusty grew up in Houston, teaching himself to play the steel guitar. He played with various bands around the Houston area and was soon sought after by many big time artists. He worked with Ben Christian, Jerry Jericho and Harry Choates of "Jole Blon" fame, but got his first big break when he went with the legendary Hank Thompson and the Brazos Valley Boys. From there he enlisted in the USAF, serving two years. He then went to work with Hoyle Nix and the Texas Cowboys in Big Spring, Texas for several years. In 1976 he moved back to Houston, and was invited to join The River Road Boys as their first regular steel guitarist.
