 Catch up and get ahead with the edge for the week of March 28th. The San Antonio area added more than 51,000 people from 2014 to 2015, one of the largest gains in the country, according to a new report by the U.S. Census Bureau. Combined with Austin's gain of 57,000 people, Houston's gain of 159,000 people, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area's gain of 145 people, that adds up to 400,000. That's more population growth in any state in the country, except of course, Texas, which grew by 490,000 people, thanks to growth from everywhere, even in Little Loving County, which grew by 28.7%. In Celebration of Women's History Month, a group of San Antonio leaders gathered for a conversation about their careers and the challenges they face as professional women. This year's Texas Women of Influence Panel included San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor, City Manager Sheryl Scully, via Chair and former Texas Secretary of State Hope Andrade, Texas A&M University San Antonio President Cynthia Teniente-Matson, and Terry Williams, the Contracting Resource Center Director at UTSA's Institute for Economic Development, Small Business Development Center. Texas Public Radio's Eileen Pace moderated the conversation. Now Cast S.A. webcast the panel discussion as we have for the past two years, so you can go back and replay the video to get valuable insight and wisdom from these impressive women. We're dealing with right now the mayor and I with regard to our public safety unions. A lot of B words are being used. I mean, I'll be really candid with you and I don't think that I don't feel that I would be treated the same if I were a man in this position. Please note that men in this position previously. At the 2016 Maker Faire at San Antonio Central Library, you helped us make a movie about why San Antonio is a great place to live and how it could be even better. We asked you what you love about San Antonio and you came through in a big way. Then we asked you how San Antonio could be even better and you had some great suggestions. Here's a bit of that. And how we're making the San Antonio tech community. I would like it better if it was closer to the ocean. If it wouldn't be so hot. Go to Nowcast SA to check out that video and please share the movie and the love with your friends. Speaking of the library, more than 90 books are going to come to life this weekend at the San Antonio Book Festival, which is free and open to the public on April 2nd, 2016. Dozens of authors will be at Central Library or across the street at Southwest School of Art. They'll be talking about their books and taking questions from the audience about their work. You've got links on Nowcast SA to the book festival's website and a schedule of events and also a new feature, a YouTube playlist with videos of some of the book festival authors. Many of the videos are teasers or book trailers and others are videos of authors discussing their work. For more on all of these stories, go to NowcastSA.com. See you next time.
