$151.2 Billion Economic Impact

Of Military Installations In Texas

Office of the Texas Governor | Greg Abbott| Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today announced U.S. military installations in Texas contributed at least $151.2 billion to the Texas economy in 2023 and supported more than 677,022 jobs in communities across the state. The results are based on a study completed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts at the request of the Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC) analyzing the impact on the state’s economy of military installations within Texas.

“The tradition of military service is long in our great state, and our respect for those who serve is enduring,” said Governor Abbott. “That is why Texas is proud to be

home to 15 major U.S. military installations and the Army Futures Command headquarters. Essential to the defense of our nation, each installation also serves as a major local employer and key community partner, adding over $151 billion to Texas’ booming economy and supporting over 677,000 good-paying jobs across our great state.

Working together with our military communities throughout the state, we will ensure Texas remains the most welcoming home to the men and women of the greatest military in the world and offers ongoing, unmatched support for their critical missions.”

“These installations are critical to both our national security and to the Texas economy, generating an overall economic output of more than $150 billion,” said

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar. “The installations are also vibrant and dynamic partners in the community, supporting not just business and industry but also schools, charities, youth sports and cultural events.

The U.S. military and the men and women who serve are a key part of what makes Texas the greatest state in the nation.”

Estimated Contribution of U.S. Military Installations to the Texas Economy, 2023

Total direct jobs: 213,176

Total employment (direct and indirect jobs): 677,022

Economic output: $151,276,591,000

The Comptroller’s study represents an analysis of the economic impact of the population and employees directly affiliated with U.S. military installations in Texas. This includes active duty, visiting, and other military personnel, dependents, civilian employees, and contractors directly affiliated with the base.

Sports

The Texas Military Preparedness Commission within the Office of the Governor advises the Governor and the Legislature on defense and military issues and on ways to strengthen the position of Texas military installations in preparation for any future Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). TMPC’s goal is to preserve, protect, expand, and attract new military missions, assets, and installations in Texas. Additionally, the TMPC encourages defense-related businesses to expand or relocate in Texas. The commission is composed of 13 members serving six-year staggered terms, typically representing an installation in their community. HUNTER

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Here’s to the bright future of Edinburg— an All-America City once more!

As the City of McAllen begins the Main & Jay Drainage Improvement project, the community should be aware that storm infrastructure construction will necessitate the closure of the Bicentennial Hike & Bike Trail from Lark Avenue to Dove Avenue. This closure will affect all pedestrian and cyclist traffic starting on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, and is expected to last approximately one week.

The closure is essential to ensure the safety of the public and the efficiency of the construction work. The project aims to improve the drainage system, which is crucial for managing stormwater and preventing flooding in the area. While this work is underway, we ask that everyone find alternate routes and exercise extreme caution and patience when traveling near the construction zone.

For pedestrians, a detour route has been established along Bicentennial Boulevard. Signage will be in place to guide foot traffic safely around the closed section of the trail. Cyclists are also encouraged to use alternative routes and remain vigilant of their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards.

We understand that this temporary closure may cause inconvenience, but it is a necessary step to enhance our city’s infrastructure and improve overall safety. Your cooperation and understanding during this period are greatly appreciated. For updates and further information on the project, please stay tuned to the City of McAllen’s official communications. Thank you for your attention and cooperation.

UTRGV Students Display Work In 15 Museums & Institutions Worldwide

UTRGV hosts “Cross Connections 2024,” emerging media exhibition and juried competition

By Karen Villarreal

RIO GRANDE VALLEY, TEXAS– The work of 11 UTRGV students is being exhibited in seven museums and eight institutions of higher education around the world as part of an international design competition called “Cross Connections.”

The exhibit is on view in the Rio Grande Valley at the International Museum of Art and Science (IMAS) in McAllen through Sept. 8, 2024.

This is the fourth “Cross Connections” exhibit hosted by the hosted by the UTRGV School of Art and Design, International Museum of Art and Science, and Brownville Museum of Fine Art, and has grown to include visual communication and emerging media design artists from 20 institutions in China, Taiwan, Korea, Mexico, the United States, Belgium and Portugal.

Ping Xu, associate professor of Visual Communication Design at UTRGV and curator of the international design festival, said it was an exciting challenge to work collaboratively with so many institutions around the world.

“It’s very important for our students’

growth to give them a global view to prepare for their future – and let the entire world know UTRGV,” he said.

Robert Gilbert, associate professor of Visual Communication Design at UTRGV, said this year’s exhibit was more than a year in the making.

Each institution submitted up to 30 students’ work for judging, and a panel of experts then selected the 100 wall-mounted and 85 screen-based pieces for the exhibit out of 525 entries. As a UTRGV Exhibition Committee member, Gilbert coordinatized with IMAS and BMFA and assisted with the transportation of exhibition materials.

“The exhibit was sent to seven participating institutions and eight museums, and then they produced it – exactly what you see here – and showed it in their country,” Gilbert said during the “Member’s Opening” event at IMAS on May 31, 2024. “It’s a great opportunity for our students.”

GLOBAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN

Xu said communication and media design differs from traditional media in that it is constantly changing.

“In our program, every six months, it’s changing, changing, changing,” he said. “We need to upgrade all the time.”

He emphasized the significance of host-

ing and participating in such international exchange events, which facilitate the sharing of the latest design trends.

“Different techniques, different programs other institutions are using inspire our faculty and students, inspire our program,” Xu said.

Ed Pogue, director of the UTRGV School of Art and Design, said the exhibit is unique for including animation, game design, UI/ UX, or user interface/user experience, and cell phone app design.

“These are forms of communication, too,” he said. “One of the positive aspects of this exhibition describes how graphic design – how design in general – is not only an important part of our culture and everyday life, but also how we interface with the technology we use.”

Pogue said the international exhibit is a testament to the Rio Grande Valley’s growing artistic community.

“It speaks to the Valley, and the quality of students, and the quality of artistic expression that we have in the Valley that sometimes goes unrecognized,” he said.

RECOGNIZING RGV DESIGN

The works of 11 UTRGV students were selected by the exhibition jury to enter the international juried exhibition, while some UTRGV student works were also chosen and submitted by UTRGV design faculty for an additional design competition. Three of these entries were selected as award winners in the juried exhibition.

Heidy Mendez won a Special Judging Awards in Emerging Media Design. Honorable Mentions in Emerging Media Design were awarded to Andres Trejo and Kyara Valdez.

Kyara Valdez, 23, from Alamo, designed the look and feel of a mood-tracking app, “Moody,” as a project for her graphic design minor. Using knowledge from her computer science major, she began developing it into a working app.

“Not everyone can say that their work is exhibited in a museum, so it feels amazing!” she said, standing in front of her work at the IMAS. “I’m honestly eternally grateful to Professor Ping because he opened up so many opportunities for me.”

Valdez thanked him for the opportunity to develop Moody, which she later was able to enter to a state-level Addy competition. She also credits the experience to helping her secure her current job as a multimedia designer. She plans to keep working on Moody until it’s a useable product.

Valdez, Trejo and Mendez’s work was shown, with the collaborating artists, at two locations in the Rio Grande Valley: the School of Art and Design (SOAD) from Feb. 26 through March 13, and from April 9-27 at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art (BMFA).

“Cross Connections 2024” is currently on display at the IMAS in McAllen through Sept. 8.

HUNTER READY TO TURN UP AT USATF U20 CHAMPIONSHIPS

RIO GRANDE VALLEY – With a hop in his step and a determined look on his face, The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) freshman Hebrew Hunter takes every triple jump runway with a similar pattern.

He’ll shake out his legs and simulate the motions of his phases. When he’s ready to go, Hunter cups his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice and shouts “turn me up,” drawing out the vowels in each syllable. Then he leads the spectators in a slow clap, bringing his hands together above his head as others start to join in. Once a rhythm is set, he slaps his legs and gets in his starting stance, fidgets with his cross necklace and points to the sky, and takes off.

The routine was put together over time. Hunter noticed the track clap for the first time at a high school meet, enjoying the way it got onlookers engaged. While working at a summer basketball camp before his freshman year at UTRGV, he took note of the person in charge of the camp saying “turn me up” to get the kids excited.

Hunter carries himself with an easy confidence and youthful exuberance. So it’s only

fitting that he took those two experiences and merged them into his own signature hype routine, boldly demanding attention before showcasing his abilities.

“I remember the first time I heard someone clapping at a meet, and then everyone else started clapping, and I was like, ‘That’s kind of fire.’ So I thought, let me try that, and I started it and my clap was all off, but I still ended up jumping better,” Hunter reminisced.

“When I got to UTRGV, I asked the older jumpers how the college meets were and they said from the first jump we’re clapping, we’re screaming. They had their own chants, like ‘Let’s go,’ so I knew what I was going to do,” he continued. “First meet, I got out there and I tried it, ‘Turn me up,’ and everyone stopped and looked at me and that’s when I knew I was keeping it. It’s different and it grabs people’s attention. Give me the spotlight, put the pressure on me, and I’m going to excel.”

Hunter has excelled throughout his rookie season. He took third in his collegiate debut at Arkansas, jumping 14.85 meters. He notched his personal best at the Cactus

Cup in April, clearing 15.04 meters to finish second. At the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Outdoor Championships, Hunter made the podium with a jump of 14.80 meters, taking fourth.

He’s already in the program record books, claiming three of the 10 best indoor triple jumps in school history and sitting at No. 5 all-time with his indoor best. His top mark outdoors ranks seventh in program history.

“I was pretty anxious going into that first meet, wondering where I was going to stand, how good have I actually gotten. Doing good, hitting a PR and getting third at my first college meet, it was very eye-opening and confidence-boosting. I could see the future and from there on I was pretty consistent,” Hunter said.

Helping his consistently solid marks was Hunter’s ability to quickly understand and adapt to the demands of a Div. I student-athlete. He always wanted to compete at the highest level, so when associate head coach/ jumps coach Mike Embry made it clear what that would entail, Hunter immediately got on board.

He strives to give 100% to everything he does from the moment he wakes up, going about his day intentionally so the momentum carries into practice. In high school, practice started with a light warmup, just a few stretches and then it’s go-time. The first time he went through warmup at UTRGV, he knew things would be different.

“Our warmup, that was the first wake-up call I had in college. We had a 30, 45-minute warmup. I’m sweating, feeling like I’d already done the workout,” Hunter laughed.

Embry and Hunter started the freshman’s training focusing on approach and landing. Once he got the technique down in those aspects, they spent more time working specifically on phases of triple jump. Speed, runway work and landing were keys to Hunter’s success, he said.

Hunter is taking all he has learned, his confidence and competitiveness and energy, to the 2024 USA Track & Field U20 Championships at Oregon’s Hayward Field. He competes Thursday at 7:30 p.m. (CT) in men’s triple jump, chasing a top-six finish and a mark of 15.50 meters or better to be eligible for selection to the U.S. national team for the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships.

It’ll be a big moment at an iconic venue, but Hunter won’t be fazed. The more eyes that are on him, the more he enjoys competing, and he’s ready to make the most of his opportunity.

“I’ve never been to Hayward Field, but I’ve heard a lot of great things about it. I’m excited because I heard it gets pretty packed, and that’s always good for jumps. It’s a confidence boost and I’m going to use that to my advantage, having a lot of eyes on me in person and watching online,” Hunter said. “When it’s my turn to get the stage, I’m going to use all my energy, all my spotlight, and turn me up.”

Digital Autism Screening Tool Could Enhance Early Identification

Atablet-based screening tool that analyzes children’s behavior in response to specific video clips shows promise for enhancing early autism screening, according to a study supported in part by the National Institute of Mental Health. While early autism screening typically depends on parent questionnaires, data suggest the accuracy of these assessments may vary across settings and populations. Objective measurement tools, including digital technologies, could help improve screening in real-world settings and reduce disparities in early screening and identification.

What did the researchers do?

In the study, researchers Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D. , Guillermo Sapiro, Ph.D. , and colleagues at the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development tested a tablet-based app called SenseToKnow. The app uses the tablet’s camera to capture a variety of child behaviors, including gaze patterns, facial expressions, head movements, blink rate, and whether the child responded to their name. According to the researchers, this multimodal approach allows them to capture the range of behavioral variations that children with autism may show.

During routine health care visits, toddlers watched specially designed video clips while the device recorded their behaviors

and quantified them using computer vision, a type of artificial intelligence. The app then used machine learning to analyze the behavioral data, providing a diagnostic classification and a prediction confidence score indicating the reliability of that classification. The app also produced a quality score that indicated whether the app was administered correctly.

Study participants included 475 toddlers, ages 17 to 36 months. Of these toddlers, 49 later received an autism diagnosis and 98 later received a diagnosis of developmental delay and/or language delay without autism.

What did the researchers find?

Overall, the app showed high accuracy for classifying children with autism compared to neurotypical children, and even higher accuracy when the analyses included only the results that had high prediction confidence scores. Classification accuracy remained high when the analyses included data from children with developmental delay and/or language delay.

The app correctly classified nine children with autism who were not correctly identi-

fied using a standard early autism screening tool, the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT-Revised with Follow-Up). Classification accuracy increased further when the researchers combined the app analyses with input from the M-CHAT screening tool.

Importantly, classification accuracy was consistent regardless of the child’s sex, race, ethnicity, and age. According to the researchers, these initial findings suggest that objective digital screening tools may help reduce existing disparities in early autism screening, although more work is needed to establish the app’s performance across diverse groups.

What do the results mean?

Advantages of the SenseToKnow app include its usability in real-world settings and the fact that it provides actionable information. For example, a low quality score indicates the app wasn’t administered correctly and may need to be re-administered. On the other hand, a high prediction confidence score lends weight to the classification results and can help identify toddlers who

are likely to benefit from further screening and evaluation.

Dawson and colleagues are now evaluating SenseToKnow in a variety of contexts. In another NIMH-funded study, the researchers are examining accuracy when parents administer the app at home on their own devices. They are also exploring whether the app can be used to detect early behavioral signs of autism in infants as young as 6-9 months.

The researchers emphasize that they do not intend for SenseToKnow to be the only data source for diagnosis. Rather, they envision autism screening as a multipart process that includes parent-report questionnaires, objective digital screening tools, and other data sources such as electronic health records. They also note that screening is one part of a broader clinical pathway that includes provider training, careful implementation, and built-in links to services, supports, and interventions.

“We conclude that quantitative, objective, and scalable digital phenotyping offers promise in increasing the accuracy of autism screening and reducing disparities in access to diagnosis and intervention, complementing existing autism screening questionnaires,” Dawson and colleagues write.
