LAREDO, Texas - The 32nd Annual Pathways For Trade Symposium takes place at the Laredo County Club on Thursday, Aug. 28. The evening before a reception will take place titled the Trade Ambassador's Dinner.The symposium is being hosted, as always, by the Laredo Economic Development Corporation, which has served Los Dos Laredos for 58 years. This year, the symposium's title is “The New Era of Trade: Perspectives & Opportunities.” The symposium will explore the latest trends, policies, and challenges shaping global trade. A big focus this year will be the application of Artificial Intelligence in the logistics and manufacturing sectors.David A. Stedman, president and CEO of Laredo EDC, says he cannot think of a year when the symposium was more important. “I don't think there has ever been a time where international trade is more on the national topic and horizon, with the advent of the America First trade policy from the Trump administration,” Stedman told the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service.“We have to be very astute and conscious of our supply chain, at a time when nearshoring is taking on a whole new dimension. We're basically reinventing the American supply chain as we go.”Stedman said he is pleased with the lineup of speakers assembled.“What we have done here with this symposium is bring together a collection of experts to give people an ongoing explanation of all the things that are going to happen and have happened with respect to our trade, not only with Mexico, but with Canada. We have a nice collection of local and national experts to give clarity to the situation, which is very volatile and very important to the future of the American economy.”Here is an audio podcast featuring LEDC leaders that previews the symposium.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

El alcalde de Laredo, Miguel González (PP), ha hecho balance de los dos primeros años de legislatura y ha señalado que el municipio está experimentando "una transformación real y visible fruto de mucho trabajo y una gestión comprometida con las necesidades de los vecinos". Así lo ha manifestado en una entrevista realizada en el programa Hoy por Hoy Cantabria Oriental, en el que ha hecho repaso de los proyectos ya ejecutados y los futuros. Entre otras cuestiones, el regidor ha destacado que esta legislatura, "gracias al compromiso conjunto" de Consistorio y Gobierno, ha supuesto una inversión "histórica" en el municipio de más de 36 millones de euros. Y ha resaltado proyectos concluidos como la renovación de la Plaza Cachupín, el nuevo Parque de San Lorenzo, el Centro de Ocio Costa Esmeralda, el asfaltado de Marqués de Comillas y La Pesquera, la reapertura de la Piscina Municipal, el nuevo carril bici, la ampliación de la Cofradía de Pescadores o la nueva sede de Servicios Sociales y la creación de la Oficina REGEN.

This episode of the Only Business Podcast asks a question most entrepreneurs avoid: Do you like yourself? We explore how self-perception quietly shapes pricing, leadership, boundaries, decision making, and long term business health. If you have been feeling stuck, scattered, or disconnected from your work, this episode will help you reconnect with the person behind the business and build from a stronger foundation.

Global tensions as oil prices react to geopolitical events, with Brent crude ticking up after the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, though prices later flattened as tankers moved through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite Iran's parliament voting to close the strategic waterway, top leadership approval is required, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged China to discourage such a shutdown given its critical impact on global oil consumption. Spot rates for large crude oil tankers from the Persian Gulf to China have surged dramatically amid heightened Middle East stability concerns, nearly doubling to over $57,000 per day for the largest crude carriers. Despite threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, major container lines like Maersk and CMA CGM continue their sailings, closely monitoring the situation while maintaining operations. In industry news, we pause to honor the passing of Frederick W. Smith, the visionary founder of FedEx, who died at age 80, transforming a college term paper idea into an $87.7 billion global overnight delivery powerhouse. Smith's pioneering concepts, military service, and strategic financial moves, like a high-stakes blackjack win, shaped FedEx into a company whose legacy touches virtually every corner of global logistics. The US truckload market continues to face significant challenges, with carrier revocations, or trucking businesses shutting down, running 16% higher year-over-year through mid-2025, reflecting sustained industry vulnerability. Recent regulatory enforcement, including renewed English language proficiency rules and stricter CDL fraud crackdowns, may be raising entry barriers, while softening demand and rising operating costs further squeeze profitability. Supply chain investments are on the rise in Mexico to support growing trade with the US, its largest trading partner. This includes Evans Transportation opening a new office in Laredo, DP World launching a freight forwarding hub in Mexico City, Geodis Logistics opening a new office in Guadalajara, We Store Frozen building a cold storage facility in Laredo, and Japanese firms Tokai Kogyo and Benchmark Electronics expanding their manufacturing footprints. FreightWaves is proud to spotlight the dawn of a new era with the AI Excellence in Supply Chain Award, recognizing game-changing use of artificial intelligence in logistics. The Supply Chain AI Symposium in Washington, D.C., happening this July, will crown industry leaders harnessing AI, machine learning, and large language models to drive smarter, more resilient, and sustainable supply chains.

Double #SessionLive pour la Fête de la Musique avec l'ADN lumineux d'Emily Loizeau et les berceuses florales de Kyrie Kristmanson.  Emily Loizeau Son 1er album est sorti en 2006 L'Autre bout du Monde, Emily Loizeau sort son 6ème album La Souterraine, 4 ans après Icare (sorti en 2021) et une tournée triomphale qui aura duré près de 2 ans. Ce disque, prolongement naturel du précédent, a également été enregistré au Pays de Galles aux Rockfield Studios (Queen, Oasis, Coldplay), sous la houlette du réalisateur John Parish (PJ Harvey, Aldous Harding, Dominique A). Le premier extrait, La route de Vénus, est porté par une mélodie qui résonne déjà comme un classique, presque rétro, avec son entêtante introduction sifflée rappelant les thèmes de western d'Ennio Morricone. Un côté surf rock 60's amené par la guitare accompagne un optimisme inattendu sur une route lumineuse qu'on cherche pour se réinventer. Emily Loizeau appelle ici à libérer nos âmes de ce monde qui nous aliène, à nous soulever, en suivant Vénus, l'amour, mais aussi l'étoile du matin, celle du berger qui nous indique le chemin. Emily est en solo piano voix, avant de clore la session live avec une reprise «aménagée» de Bob Dylan, en duo avec son amie Kyrie Kristmanson. L'artiste nous parle aussi de la naissance de son collectif ADN «L'art de Dire Nous».   Kyrie Kristmanson Deux ans après l'éclosion de son album Floralia (2023), Kyrie Kristmanson prolonge l'expérience en nous offrant un nouvel EP Lullabies for the flowers sorti en juin 2025. En avril 2025, la chanteuse franco-canadienne nous a invités, le temps d'une soirée au sein du mythique Hôtel La Louisiane pour une grande célébration présentée par Emily Loizeau. Ce soir-là, Kyrie Kristmanson a reçu l'insigne de Chevalier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres des mains d'Emily, et nous a dévoilé deux titres de l'EP Lullabies for the flowers. Kyrie Krismanson est une artiste franco-canadienne, née à Ottawa. C'est une aventurière des musiques qui aime naviguer entre le folk nord-américain et la lointaine mémoire du Moyen-Âge européen. Son premier album, Origin of Stars, s'inspire des vibrations des paysages canadiens qui l'ont vue grandir. Récompensé aux Canadian Folk Music Awards, l'album est sorti mondialement chez NØ FØRMAT!/Universal France en 2010. Elle saisit les spectateurs du Printemps de Bourges et elle séduit Emily Loizeau qui l'invite à assurer ses premières parties. La tournée qui suivra l'amènera à travers l'Asie et l'Europe jusqu'au sud de la France où, intriguée par l'histoire portée par les pierres, elle visite les ruines des châteaux médiévaux. Ces vestiges l'inciteront à retracer le répertoire lacunaire des premières compositrices : les trobairitz. Après avoir complété une thèse à leur sujet à La Sorbonne, c'est en prenant la liberté de s'approprier ces poèmes d'amour qu'elle compose un second opus Modern Ruin. Arrangé pour quatuor à cordes et voix par Clément Ducol, son hommage à ces compositrices méconnues est sorti chez Naïve en février 2015. Fascinée également par les découvertes de la physique quantique, Kyrie s'est ensuite interrogée sur l'hypothèse d'une tradition musicale venue d'un monde parallèle. Le résultat de ce questionnement est l'album Lady Lightly, un folk-cosmique qui semblerait avoir voyagé des années-lumière à travers des cieux stellaires. Enregistré dans une aile abandonnée du Château de Versailles et réalisé par Saint Michel, la tournée se fait aux côtés d'Etienne Klein, philosophe des sciences. Kyrie Kristmanson ne cesse d'explorer et d'expérimenter avec sa guitare et ses chansons habitées par de très anciennes et très puissantes énergies.

EDINBURG, Texas - The director of Hidalgo County's Community Service Agency (CSA) says Rotarians from across South Texas were shocked when he told them the extent of the cuts his agency is facing, should Congress adopt President Trump's budget proposals. Jaime R. Longoria met recently with Rotarians from across the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and the Coastal Bend. Specifically, Longoria spoke about cuts to the Low-Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a utility assistance program designed to assist low-income households in meeting their immediate energy needs.  Longoria said that in President Trump's budget, $8 million that comes to Hidalgo County for LIHEAP “would disappear.” He said: “That's $8 million to assist about 8,000 families across Hidalgo County afford utilities.” Longoria continued: “Now, those 8,000 families, I know we like to villainize… I spoke at a meeting of the Rotarians across South Texas, and I mentioned, we like to villainize the vulnerables, that, well, these are people that maybe don't want to work. These are people that are of another country.  “But in reality, about 45 percent of those 8,000 are people over the age of 60. About 30 percent of those families, those individuals that come to us are children under the age of 18. So that's 75 percent of our population that is either elderly or are under the age of 18.  “So, these stereotypes that we have of who we're helping, who CSA is helping, it does not hold a lot of water. I know that the Rotarians were shocked when they heard those numbers. And these are Rotarians from Corpus Christi, Victoria, and Brownsville to Laredo, all of the Rio Grande Valley. They were shocked. “And I said, you know, don't believe the narrative. These are actual people. I can show you the numbers. That $8 million would go away.” Longoria made his comments in a webinar hosted by Hidalgo County Prosperity Task Force. The webinar comprised officials from numerous nonprofits who stand to lose funding under the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Longoria said that while this bill includes cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, his agency had to remain focused on President Trump's “skinny” budget. “What our program is really concerned about is the proposed zeroing out of the Community Services Block Grant, the zeroing out of LIHEAP, which is our utility assistance program, and the zeroing out of our AmeriCorps program.” Longoria said the President's “skinny” budget is different from the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” “All of our programs are zeroed out. So, what does that mean, financially? That's $2 million in CSBG funding. So that is the disaster funding that I talked about in Commissioners Court today, which helped us respond to the flood, which helps us respond to fires, domestic violence on a daily basis, which helped us respond during COVID so quickly, to put people in shelter and buy food for people in shelter. That $2 million would be gone.” Longoria said the CSBG funding has been in place since 1980, and its forerunner has been in place since 1968. “So, that money has been in place for 60 years to help address poverty the way Hidalgo County sees fit.” He said Cameron County would lose a little over a million dollars in CSBG funding, while Starr County would lose about $700,000. Editor's Note: Here is an audio recording of the remarks Longoria made during the Hidalgo County Prosperity Task Force webinar.  Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And a big shout-out to James Walker from Laredo, TX. James, thank you for being a vital part of Project23. Because of you, we're helping people across the world receive and respond to the Word of God. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 4:13-20: And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them. And these are the ones sown on rocky ground: the ones who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy. And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones sown among thorns. They are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. But those that were sown on the good soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” — Mark 4:13-20 The disciples asked Jesus to explain the parable—and he did. No mystery. No guessing. Just clarity to those who ask, seek, and knock. He told them that the seed is the Word of God. And the soil? That's our hearts. What makes this parable so powerful is that it doesn't just explain how to grow—but why so many don't. Some hear the Word and Satan snatches it away before it can even sink in. Some hear and respond quickly—but without roots, they wither under pressure. Some let the Word grow—but it gets choked out by anxiety, money, distractions, and desires. Some—only some—receive the Word deeply, producing a harvest far beyond their own ability. The prevalence and prominence of the Word is never the problem. The condition of our hearts is always the problem. And this parable isn't about four different kinds of people. It's about four different kinds of hearts and their responses. And if we're honest, we've probably been all four in our lives. Sometimes we're hard. Sometimes we're shallow. Sometimes we're distracted. Sometimes—we're finally open, and the Word bears fruit. So the personal and probing question is: What kind of soil is my heart today? And here's the good news: soil can change. The Spirit can till, soften, clear, and prepare your heart again. You just have to ask. Are your ready to ask? Spirit, soften my calloused heart to the seed of truth. Multiply your Word and truth through me. May I bear a bountiful harvest. Amen. #HeartCheck, #GoodSoil, #FruitfulFaith ASK THIS: Which soil type best describes your heart right now—and why? What tends to choke out the Word in your life the most? How can you build stronger spiritual roots? What fruit have you seen when the Word takes deep root in your life? DO THIS: Write down one thing that's currently choking or distracting you from fully receiving God's Word. Then pray and ask God to help you clear it out. PRAY THIS: God, I want to be good soil. Help me uproot what's shallow, hardened, or distracting. Let your Word go deep—and bear lasting fruit in my life. Amen. PLAY THIS: Clear the Stage.

LAREDO, Texas - Legendary workforce development leader Blas Castañeda has been mentoring high school students for 49 years. The retired president of CTA Global Solutions will join with Area Health Education Center to hold his Annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony on March 27.This event recognizes the exceptional academic accomplishments of students participating in CTA's mentorship career development program.The ceremony takes place at Falcon Event Center, 7718 McPherson Road in Laredo, starting at 6:00 p.m. on March 27.“The mentorship career development program pairs experienced community leaders with high school seniors to provide career preparation, foster personal growth, and develop essential skills for university success. Through guidance, support, and networking opportunities, the program aims to assist students in successfully navigating the university admission and enrollment process,” said Blas Castañeda told the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service.“CTA Global Solutions and AHEC are committed to empowering the next generation of leaders by providing scholarships to deserving students who have demonstrated academic excellence and a dedication to their future careers,” Castañeda said.Castañeda became a well-known figure along the Texas-Mexico border when he chaired the Texas Border Coalition's education and workforce development committee. His career included more than three decades in the higher education realm as chief external affairs/economic development officer at Laredo Community College. Gov. Rick Perry appointed him to the Texas Workforce Investment Council. Gov. Ann Richards appointed him to the Texas Council on Workforce and Economic Competitiveness. He holds a Master's and Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in International Trade. His resume includes an eight-year tenure as Laredo city councilmember and he was an active member of the Eagle Ford Consortium Tri-Chair Workforce of South Texas.The Guardian secured an in-depth phone interview with Castañeda. The Guardian asked him why he started a mentoring program.“In the neighborhood where I grew up, barely anyone going to college. The whole reason for that was mom and dad didn't have the money to pay for the college. So that was one of the reasons. The other reason was, when I was growing up, everybody had to go work. We used to go up north and work every year for, oh, maybe close to 20 years, working in the fields picking tomatoes and corn and lettuce and cherries and even pick up cotton. So we there was a major inopportunity to go to school,” Castañeda said.Castañeda added: “Over the years I have helped tons of students get to university. Today, they're engineers, they're nurses, they're bankers, they've got their own business, all over the place. A lot of them are here in Laredo, but a lot of them went out, and they're in different parts of the country. So, I'm very happy that my 49 years of community service really paid off for a lot of people.”Here is an audio recording of the Guardian's in-depth interview with Castañeda:Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

A 1,402-acre ranch in Texas may become ground zero for the deportation of criminal illegal aliens.  Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham, a Republican, spearheaded purchase of the ranch, which is located along the border with Mexico in Starr County between Laredo and McAllen, Texas. Now, Buckingham says, Texas may lease the land to the federal government as a site to process illegal aliens for deportation. She figures President-elect Donald Trump may need it. “We just thought we'd write a letter to [Trump] and say, ... if we can help, we have this property,” she says.  Deportations of illegal aliens, especially criminal illegal aliens, was a pillar of Trump's presidential campaign, and Buckingham says she and other leaders in Texas recognize that the incoming Trump administration will “probably need a facility to … relieve the strain on the local jails to get the proper processing before these people are deported.”  Tom Homan, Trump's incoming border czar, has indicated he is interested in using the 1,402-acre ranch, a popular crossing point for illegal aliens, as the second Trump administration begins a major effort to secure the border and remove criminals who entered the country illegally.  Illegal aliens already have crossed the border into America unlawfully. Generally, "criminal illegal aliens" refers to those who also have been convicted of a crime either in America or in another country. Buckingham joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what will change at the border when Trump returns next month.

Although he'd promised one of his daughters to do better, 49-year-old Jose Fernando Corona couldn't help but suspect his wife, 44-year-old Maria Santos Corona, of having an affair, though no evidence of such existed. He saw a curandera and attempted to use herbs and prayer to rectify the situation he'd most likely imagined. However, Jose could not let it go. Nothing was working in his mind. So, in April of 2010, he did the unthinkable. Instead of simply walking away, Jose murdered Maria in one of the most brutal ways imaginable. There's no doubt he's responsible, but since he fled to Mexico, and could be anywhere in Texas, Oklahoma, or Washington state at this point, Maria's six children have yet to see the man who killed their mother – their father – brought to justice.From CityofLewisville.com: On April 26, 2010, Jose Fernando Corona murdered his wife with a chainsaw. Investigators believe that Corona may have fled into Mexico on April 27, 2010 at Laredo, Texas. Corona has extended family members in Euless, Grapevine, Mineola, Austin, and Houston, Texas as well as in Oklahoma, Washington and Mexico.Anyone with information related to this offense is asked to call the Lewisville Police Department Tip Line at 972.219.TIPS (8477) or Denton County Crime Stoppers at 800.388.TIPS (8477).
