Speakers from several prominent local activist groups met in San Marcos to discuss the implications of mass incarceration in the United States over the last 50 years.
The San Marcos Daily Record interviewed San Marcos Police Chief Stan Standridge about the department itself and requests for police reform. The interview has been edited for length and clarity.
Things are about to look a lot gloomier in HISD and it has nothing to do with the state takeover. It has to do with upcoming changes to the state’s A-F rating system for schools and the very likely outcome that campuses across the state could suddenly appear to be doing worse, some even failing.
IQs have dropped for the first time in American history, and the experts aren’t quite sure why.
Our 24/7 KZSM.org broadcasts extend all over the world, but they emanate from the heart of San Marcos. Our studio occupies a vintage storefront half a block off the square at 216 North Guadalupe. The space has been many things, most recently an audio/video studio. The mixer, microphones, speakers, and computers that put out our signal share space with an impressive collection of antique radios, cameras, and recorders, along with hundreds of vinyl recordings. Posters celebrate bands that have performed in the studio or at one of our Kissing Alley concerts. Window displays often change with the seasons; we have had mermaids, ghosts and goblins, a huge stuffed Garfield, and now a 6-foot teddy bear who loves radio and refuses to leave.

I was looking through an old scrapbook and came across some photos of runners at various stages of a run. It made me think about what it takes to make a photo stand out from the others and which photos are good enough to make a poster with it. Any photo with you in the picture is always fun to look at. Then the location of the photo can make a difference in whether or not it becomes a classic. Some runners like a photo of a runner out on a country road while others like one in a famous city.

As mentioned in an earlier story, I was intimidated by so much water, islands, canals and bridges in the Florida Keys. I needed help. And I found it in a young man named Blake.
