MANO seeks loans for non bankable borrowers in 18 months
The OD reports a plan to offer 5 000 to 25 000 loans over 18 months to non bankable borrowers through a development corporation led by Torres and endorsed by the Hispanic Chamber. Board concerns focus on loan collection, not grants. A counterproposal would subsidize bank interest instead. UTPB Small Business Center seeks 30 000, with CDC costs pegged at 200 000 annually for similar services.

Global warming linked shifts in marine life across temperate waters
Researchers report water temperatures rose sharply in 1977 and have stayed two degrees warmer, driving northward migration of tropical species and declines in zooplankton and seabirds. Dolphin populations have surged from 15,000 in 1970 to an estimated 226,000 in 1991, while near shore species and kelp suffered. Experts caution links to climate and warn data cannot confirm a single cause.
