In Collegiate News…

December 3, 2009

I mean this all in good fun, as I truly do love my roadrunners…but…honestly, UTSA WOULD be the ones to come up with this.

You’ve seen those coffee vending machines where you put in a buck and a stream of hot java fills the cup? Now, imagine that with beer.

A group of students at UTSA unveiled their prototype of a CO2 powered keg tap at today’s Electrical Engineering fall 2009 Senior Design Demonstration day.

They admit, the idea came during a brew-filled bash that started poorly.

“Someone over-pumps the keg and it’s all foam for the next 20 minutes, so we were like, ‘How can we eliminate this problem?’ We just started brainstorming and we came up with carbon dioxide for better quality and electronic for better features,” Michael Yates tells News Radio 1200 WOAI.”

Eva Guzman – 1st Latina Appointed to Texas Supreme Court

October 8, 2009

This is so exciting.  A principled conservative and an added bonus…a Latina.

Very inspiring.  Obviously a very respected lady.

Guzman earned her law degree from South Texas College of Law in 1989 and practiced family and civil law for 10 years before taking the bench.

She was born in Chicago but grew up in Houston. Guzman is the fourth of seven children and the daughter of Mexican immigrants with only some elementary school education. Her mother worked mostly as a cleaning woman.

An adjunct faculty member of the University of Houston Law Center, Guzman has received good marks in judicial polls and is an elected member of the American Law Institute and a former board member of the Garland Walker American Inns of Court.

Guzman is married to a Houston police sergeant and the two often make society columns for appearances at charity events. Guzman was named one of Houston’s best dressed women in 2003 as well.

Forbes List Texas in the Best of List (Again)

September 9, 2009

Check it out:

For the exasperated job-seeker to whom employment opportunities seem bleaker than ever, salvation may lie in the Lone Star State. Texas, home to dozens of energy heavyweights and nearly as many innovative small companies, has three of the best cities to earn a living: Dallas, Houston and Austin.

When taking into account the cost of living, strength of industry, economists’ predictions for the future state of employment and, of course, salary, these are some of the best U.S. cities in which to take home a paycheck.
