  • The Trinity River Project Is Transforming the Identity of Fort Worth Into a Bustling, Waterfront City
    The Trinity River Project is transforming the identity of Fort Worth into a bustling, waterfront city. first ever civil works project to win the “Good Neighbor Award” for sustainability from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Trinity River Vision Authority (TRVA) is the organization responsible for the implementation of the Trinity River Vision (TRV) – a master plan for the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. The seeds of this vision are now taking shape before the eyes of the city. While the primary purpose of the project is to provide needed flood protection, it will double the size of the most livable central business district in the nation. The Vision also provides for the creation of new recreational amenities, improved infrastructure, unique public spaces and responsible environmental enhancements. The components TRVA oversees include the creation of Panther Island, a vibrant, pedestrian-oriented, urban waterfront district adjacent to downtown Fort Worth, the expansion of Gateway Park into one of the largest urban-programmed parks in the nation and the enhancement of the river corridor including over 90 user- requested projects along the Trinity Trails. In addition to this, to help attract businesses and entertainment to the district, TRVA is responsible for programming the project’s public spaces, including Panther Island Pavilion, a waterfront event venue directly adjacent to downtown Fort Worth hosting concerts, festivals, runs and other exciting events. Panther Island, the most well-known component of the Trinity River Vision, has triggered a rebirth of the district north of Flowing canals will be the heart downtown Fort Worth into an urban waterfront community.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.

  • Goln' to the DOGS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 6 (1998) GOlN’ TO THE DOGS By Paul M. Bennett They're off and running excitedly and enthusiastically chasing that elusive rabbit. The long since departed and all but forgotten, All-America Football Conference was a professional football league that had "gone to the dogs." Literally! Some football fans, such as those dour National Football League diehards (you know who you are), would say that "going to the dogs" definitely had described the AAFC's level of play during the league's all too brief, four-year tenure as a fiery competitor to the established pro league. Their argument was further reinforced after the league finally called it quits following the end of the 1949 season, when three of its teams (Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts) were absorbed, or merged (if one is kind), into the NFL commencing with the 1950 season. AAFC fans would simply say "pooh" to those NFL naysayers. What did they know? Haughtiness and arrogance seemed to have been their credo. Conservative to a fault. A new idea must be a bad idea! The eight-team AAFC had played football at a level that was both entertaining to the viewing public and similar in quality to that of the older, ten-team league. The only problem the AAFC seemed to have had was its overall lack of depth, talent-wise, and, more importantly, its lack of adequate team competition. The AAFC's chief asset had been the powerful and innovative Cleveland Browns, arguably one of professional football's most dominant franchises.

  • February 11 — March 18
    FEBRUARY 11 — MARCH 18 H&R Block Artspace at the Kansas City Art Institute kcai.edu/artspace @hrblockartspace Vito Acconci American, born 1940 Wav(er)ing Flag, 1990 lithograph Gift of Landfall Press, Collection of the Kansas City Art Institute Vito Acconci, who began his career as a poet, gained renown (and infamy) in the 1970s for performance-based work through which he challenged borders between public and private space and interrogated the limits of his own body. roughout his performative work and subsequent sculpture, installation, and architecture have run interests in language, power, and the body/self in relationship to space and society. Included have been a number of prints, sculptures and installations incorporating ags, including architectural “houses” in which viewers are literally walled-in by American and/or Soviet ags, as well as a more generalized Flag Full of Holes (1988), which is precisely what the title describes. Wav(er)ing Flag, a suite of six color lithographs that combine to form a 12-foot long American ag, reects many of Acconci’s ongoing concerns, both as it pushes beyond the borders of the conventional print format and as it challenges the authority of ag, deconstructing its symbolic power and complicating its meanings. Here, the text of the Pledge of Allegiance (written in 1887, adopted by Congress in 1942, and to which “under God” was added in 1954) is brought into conversation with the ag itself, breaking down into fragments—literally falling apart—as it stretches across the stripes of this absurdly long ag. Exemplifying Acconci’s dexterity manipulating language and use of repetition as formal and conceptual strategy, the blue text above and below the pledge interrogates the notions of unity, strength, and the freedom “for which it stands.” Words like “fame,” “mad,” “rich,” “un,” and “lie”, are called out as alternate assessments of the nation’s character, while pairings such as “peg/leg” “fag/lag,” “us/just,” “edge/ledge,” and “divisible/die” allude to its vulnerability.
