Shamburger, Jr. Prepared by the Texas Water Development Board in cooperation with Mitchell and Nolan Counties June 1967 TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD Mills Cox, Chairman Marvin Shurbet, Vice Chairman Robert B.

The Board would appreciate acknowledge­ ment of the source of original material so utilized. Published and distributed by the Texas Water Development Board Post Office Box 12386 Austin, Texas 78711 ii FOREWORD On September 1, 1965 the Texas Water Commission (formerly, before February 1962, the State Board of Water Engineers) experienced a far-reaching realign­ ment of functions and personnel, directed toward the increased emphasis needed for planning and developing Texas' water resources and for administering water rights. Realigned and concentrated in the Texas Water Development Board were the investigative, planning, development, research, financing, and supporting func­ tions, including the reports review and publication functions. The name Texas Water Commission was changed to Texas Water Rights Commission, and responsibil­ ity for functions relating to water-rights administration was vested the~ein. For the reader's convenience, references in this report have been altered, where necessary, to reflect the current (post September 1, 1965) assignment of responsibility for the function mentioned. In other words credit for a func­ tion performed by the Texas Water Commission before the September 1, 1965 realignment generally will be given in this report either to the Water Develop­ ment Board or to the Water Rights Commission, depending on which agency now has responsibility for that function. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABS T'RA.CT • .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 1 IN1'RODUCTION................................................................................................. 3 Purpose and Scope . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 3 Location and Extent................................................................................................. 4 Methods of Investigation. ...................................................................................... 4 Previous Investigations. ........................................................................................ 6 Well-Numbering System. ............................................................................................ 6 Acknowledgements •• .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 8 GE {)(jRAPHY .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 8 Physical Features.................................................................. 8 Climate............................................................. 9 Population and Economy. ••••••.••••••••••••••••.•••••••••.•••••••••.• 12 GEOL()(;Y. ••••••••••••••••.••••.•.•.•..•.••.•.•••.••.•••..••••...•......... 12 Genera 1 Geology..................................................... 12 Geologic Units and Their Water-Bearing Properties................... 17 Permian System................................................. 17 Guadalupe and Ochoa Series................................ 17 Trias sic SYstem. •.••••••••..••••••••.••.•••...•••.•......••.... 18 Dockum Group.............................................. 18 Santa Rosa Formation................................. 23 Chinle Formation..................................... 2/+ Cretaceous System.............................................. 2/+ Trinity Group............................................. 24 v TABLE OF CONTENTS (Cont'd.)

  • Title: Journeys of Resilience? Aimhigher and the Experiences of Young People Looked After and in Alternative Education
    Title: Journeys of resilience? Aimhigher and the experiences of young people looked after and in alternative education Name: Maria Kukhareva This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. JOURNEYS OF RESILIENCE? AIMHIGHER AND THE EXPERIENCES OF YOUNG PEOPLE LOOKED AFTER AND IN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION Maria Kukhareva D. Prof. 2013 UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE JOURNEYS OF RESILIENCE? AIMHIGHER AND THE EXPERIENCES OF YOUNG PEOPLE LOOKED AFTER AND IN ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION by MARIA KUKHAREVA A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Professional Doctorate May 2013 Abstract The study explores the impact of Aimhigher activity on the lives of young people looked after and in alternative education. In the background of the mixed messages around the effectiveness of the Aimhigher initiative and its closure of the latter in 2011, it is argued that Aimhigher did, in fact, play a very positive role in the young people’s lives. In view of recent messages that a similar initiative may be under way, it is necessary to understand, and make use of Aimhigher legacy, including critique and best practice. The remit of the scheme was mainly associated with improving social justice through increasing the participation of disadvantaged groups in higher education. However, due to ineffective targeting strategies and flawed monitoring mechanisms, it was not possible to establish a link between heavily funded Aimhigher activity and widening participation trends. Additionally, there was a general scarcity of research literature available on the issues related to Aimhigher and its effectiveness.

  • Ross Kemp BIOGRAPHY
    Ross Kemp BIOGRAPHY Ross Kemp is a BAFTA award-winning documentary maker, actor, and author, who rose to prominence in the BBC1 soap opera Eastenders. Since 2006 he has received international recognition for his award winning documentaries. Ross began his acting career on stage with the likes of John Thaw and Richard Wilson. He soon moved into television and his early roles included parts in Emmerdale Farm, London’s Burning, and Birds of a Feather, although he is best known for playing the role of Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, brother to Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) and the son of Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor). During his 10 years playing the role he won a number of awards, including ‘Best Actor’ from British Soap Awards, Inside Soap Awards, and TV Quick and Choice Awards, as well as numerous other nominations. Ross will return to EastEnders in 2016 to reprise his iconic role in an explosive storyline as he is reunited with the rest of the Mitchell family. In recent years Ross has built a reputation as one of TV’s most exciting and hard-hitting documentary makers. After a brief meeting with a member of the infamous ‘Bloods’ gang in California, Ross went to Sky 1 with the idea for a new series, Gangs, for which he won a BAFTA for Best Factual Series and was nominated on another occasion. After making 27 programmes around the world, Ross moved on from Gangs to a new series: Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, where he spent time from 2007 to 2012 with army regiments: 1 Royal Anglian, 5 Scots, 1 Royal Irish, and twice with 45 Commando.

Thomas Taylor Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/mpr Part of the American Politics Commons Recommended Citation Palmer, Kenneth T. , and G. T. Taylor. "Maine in the 104th Congress: Life without Mitchell." Maine Policy Review 4.1 (1995) : 33 -42, https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/mpr/vol4/iss1/7. This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UMaine. Maine in the 104th Congress: Life without Mitchell Maine Policy Review (1995). Volume 4, Number 1 For many Mainers, the significance of the last election had little to do with the Republican "sweep" throughout the nation, but had much to do with the retirement of Senator George Mitchell. This article summarizes Senator Mitchell's most critical policy contributions and the results of his influence at the state and national levels. His absence from Congress presents the current Maine delegation with a new set of challenges. These issues are explored, in part, from the broader perspective of Maine's history in Congress. Kenneth T. Palmer G. Thomas Taylor Introduction The 1994 congressional elections may have been a watershed in Maine's relations with the national government. The state sent two new members, John Baldacci and James Longley, Jr., to the U.S. House of Representatives, and elected as a new U.S. Senator, Olympia Snowe, a former member of the House. Only Senator William Cohen continued in the same position in the state delegation.
