  • 1 Is Austin Still Austin?
    1 IS AUSTIN STILL AUSTIN? A CULTURAL ANALYSIS THROUGH SOUND John Stevens (TC 660H or TC 359T) Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 13, 2020 __________________________________________ Thomas Palaima Department of Classics Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Richard Brennes Athletics Second Reader 2 Abstract Author: John Stevens Title: Is Austin Still Austin? A Cultural Analysis Through Sound Supervisors: Thomas Palaima, Ph. D and Richard Brennes For the second half of the 20th century, Austin, Texas was defined by its culture and unique personality. The traits that defined the city ushered in a progressive community that was seldom found in the South. In the 1960s, much of the new and young demographic chose music as the medium to share ideas and find community. The following decades saw Austin become a mecca for live music. Austin’s changing culture became defined by the music heard in the plethora of music venues that graced the city streets. As the city recruited technology companies and developed its downtown, live music suffered. People from all over the world have moved to Austin, in part because of the unique culture and live music. The mass-migration these individuals took part in led to the downfall of the music industry in Austin. This thesis will explore the rise of music in Austin, its direct ties with culture, and the eventual loss of culture. I aim for the reader to finish this thesis and think about what direction we want the city to go in. 3 Acknowledgments Thank you to my advisor Professor Thomas Palaima and second-reader Richard Brennes for the support and valuable contributions to my research.

  • Intensive Survey of Barton Creek Segment 1430
    INTENSIVE SURVEY OF BARTON CREEK SEGMENT 1430 May 20-24, 1985 Hydrology, Field Measurements, Water Chemistry and Biology By Stephen R. Twidwell IS 86-01 Texas Water Commission February 1986 ABSTRACT An intensive survey of Barton Creek (Segment 1430) was conducted May 20-24, 1985, by the Texas Department of Water Resources. The study area included the entire length of Barton Creek from its union with Town Lake in Austin to its headwaters in western Hays County. Water quality, hydraulic, and biological data were collected at 20 mainstream stations and two tributary streams. Stream widths of Barton Creek generally increased from upstream to downstream (range 5.2 - 22.9 m). Stream discharge increased from 0.0129 m3/s (0.46 ft3/s) near the headwaters to 0.3894 m3/s (13.75 ft3/s) at Lost Creek Boulevard, and then declined to 0.0372 m3/s (1.32 ft3/s) upstream of Barton Pool as the water flowed over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and infiltrated to the underground. Stream velocities were slow throughout the study area (range 0.04 - 0.07 m/s). Excepting one early morning measurement, dissolved oxygen levels remained above the 5 mg/L segment criterion. Nutrient and chlorophyll a levels were below or near the lower limits of detection throughout the segment. Stream CBOD5 and CBOD2o levels were low throughout Barton Creek. Chloride, sulfate, total dissolved solids, water temperature, and pH levels conformed to segment criteria. Benthic macroinvertebrate community structure reflected clean water and healthy environmental conditions throughout the

  • Jerry Patterson, Commissioner Texas General Land Office General Land Office Texas STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS
    STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS Report to the Governor October 2009 Jerry Patterson, Commissioner Texas General Land Office General Land Office Texas STATE AGENCY PROPERTY RECOMMENDED TRANSACTIONS REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR OCTOBER 2009 TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE JERRY PATTERSON, COMMISSIONER INTRODUCTION SB 1262 Summary Texas Natural Resources Code, Chapter 31, Subchapter E, [Senate Bill 1262, 74th Texas Legislature, 1995] amended two years of previous law related to the reporting and disposition of state agency land. The amendments established a more streamlined process for disposing of unused or underused agency land by defining a reporting and review sequence between the Land Commissioner and the Governor. Under this process, the Asset Management Division of the General Land Office provides the Governor with a list of state agency properties that have been identified as unused or underused and a set of recommended real estate transactions. The Governor has 90 days to approve or disapprove the recommendations, after which time the Land Commissioner is authorized to conduct the approved transactions. The statute freezes the ability of land-owning state agencies to change the use or dispose of properties that have recommended transactions, from the time the list is provided to the Governor to a date two years after the recommendation is approved by the Governor. Agencies have the opportunity to submit to the Governor development plans for the future use of the property within 60 days of the listing date, for the purpose of providing information on which to base a decision regarding the recommendations. The General Land Office may deduct expenses from transaction proceeds.
