Texas Boomtowns: A History of Blood and Oil
by Bartee HaileOn January 10, 1901, Beaumont awoke to the historic roar of the Spindletop gusher. A flood of frantic fortune seekers heard its call and quickly descended on the town. Over the next three decades, Texas's first oil rush transformed the sparsely populated rural state practically beyond recognition. Brothels, bordellos and slums overran sleepy towns, and thick, black oil spilled over once-green pastures. While dreams came true for a precious few, most settled for high-risk, dangerous jobs in the oilfields and passed what spare time they had in the vice districts fueled by crude. From the violent shanties of Desdemona and Mexia to Borger and beyond, wildcat speculators, grifters and barons took the land for all it was worth. Author Bartee Haile explores the story of these wild and wooly boomtowns.
Texas Children's Hospital: Congenital Heart Disease Care
by Michael E. Porter Justin M. Bachmann Zachary C. LandmanIn 2014, Dr. Charles D. Fraser Jr., Surgeon-in-Chief of Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, was contemplating the future direction of the congenital heart disease program. The nation's largest pediatric hospital, Texas Children's was ranked by U.S. News & World Report as #4 in the nation in 2012-2013. It was ranked #3 in pediatric heart care and heart surgery, following Boston Children's and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Texas Children's had some of the highest volumes in the nation, seeing more than 20,000 congenital heart disease patients and performing over 800 cardiac surgeries annually. Fraser led the reorganization of Texas Children's care for congenital heart disease conditions beginning in 1995, and had initiated universal outcome measurement. In 2014, the challenge was to continue to improve care in a complicated patient population, and take outcome measurement to a new level. Also, Texas Children's had recently formed partnerships with pediatric hospitals in Temple, San Antonio and Mexico City, and how to structure these partnerships was under active discussion.

Texas Furniture: The Cabinetmakers and Their Work, 1840-1880
by Lonn Taylor David B. WarrenThe art of furniture making flourished in Texas during the mid-nineteenth century. To document this rich heritage of locally made furniture, Miss Ima Hogg, the well-known philanthropist and collector of American decorative arts, enlisted Lonn Taylor and David B. Warren to research early Texas furniture and its makers. After more than a decade of investigation, they published Texas Furniture in 1975, and it quickly became the authoritative reference on this subject. An updated edition, Texas Furniture, Volume One, was issued in the spring of 2012. Texas Furniture, Volume Two presents over 150 additional pieces of furniture that were not included in Volume One, each superbly photographed in color and accompanied by detailed descriptions of the piece's maker, date, materials, measurements, history, and owner, as well as an analysis by the authors. Taylor and Warren have also written a new introduction for this volume, in which they amplify the story of early Texas furniture. In particular, they compare and contrast the two important traditions of cabinetmaking in Texas, Anglo-American and German, and identify previously unknown artisans. The authors also discuss nineteenth-century Texans' desire for refinement and gentility in furniture, non-commercial furniture making, and marquetry work. And they pay tribute to the twentieth-century collectors who first recognized the value of locally made Texas furniture and worked to preserve it. A checklist of Texas cabinetmakers, which contains biographical information on approximately nine hundred men who made furniture in Texas, completes the volume.

Texas Oil and Gas (Postcard History Series)
by Jeff A. SpencerTexas Oil and Gas documents in postcards the rapid growth of the Texas petroleum industry from its beginnings near Corsicana in the 1890s through the next several decades of oil booms throughout the state. The young 20th century opened with the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop in 1901. Thousands rushed from the oilfields of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia to find work and riches. Continued drilling success along the Texas Gulf Coast transformed Houston into a major city and the Beaumont area into a major petrochemical center. Through the 1910s and 1920s, oil booms occurred in North Texas, the Panhandle, Central Texas, and West Texas. The giant East Texas oilfield, the second largest North American oilfield to Alaska's North Slope, was discovered in 1930. Texas oil replaced coal as fuel for the nation's railroads and provided fuel for our military in two world wars.

Texas Takes Wing: A Century of Flight in the Lone Star State (Bridwell Texas History Series)
by Barbara GansonA history of aviation in Texas that &“brilliantly demonstrates the evolution of flight technology as a harbinger of social change&” (Technology and Culture). In this book, pilot and historian Barbara Ganson brings to life the colorful personalities that shaped the phenomenally successful development of the aviation industry in the Lone Star state. Weaving stories and profiles of aviators, designers, manufacturers, and those in related services, Texas Takes Wing covers the major trends that propelled Texas to the forefront of the field. Covering institutions from San Antonio&’s Randolph Air Force Base (the West Point of this branch of service) to Brownsville&’s airport with its Pan American Airlines instrument flight school (which served as an international gateway to Latin America as early as the 1920s) to Houston&’s Johnson Space Center, home of Mission Control for the US space program, the book provides an exhilarating timeline and engaging history of dozens of unsung pioneers as well as their more widely celebrated peers. Drawn from personal interviews as well as major archives and the collections of several commercial airlines, including American, Southwest, Braniff, Pan American Airways, and Continental, this sweeping history captures the story of powered flight in Texas since 1910. With its generally favorable flying weather, flat terrain, and wide-open spaces, Texas has more airports than any other state and is often considered one of America&’s most aviation-friendly places. Texas Takes Wing also explores the men and women who made the region pivotal in military training, aircraft manufacturing during wartime, general aviation, and air servicing of the agricultural industry. The result is a soaring history that will delight aviators and passengers alike. Includes photos
Texas Teachers and the New Texas Way
by Luis M. Viceira Matthew Rhodes-Kropf John Dionne Nathaniel BurbankIn 2011 Britt Harris, the Chief Investment Officer for the $107.4 billion Teachers Retirement System of Texas (TRS), was considering whether to pursue strategic partnerships with a group of large private equity firms. After spending four years aggressively moving the fifth largest pension fund in the United States into alternative asset classes, Harris felt that TRS shouldn't just participate in private equity funds as a typical limited partner. Rather, under his proposal TRS would offer carefully vetted firms multi-billion dollar investments through a customized fund structure that had fewer allocation mandates than traditional fund structures, and guarantees to reinvest 50% of any investment gains back into the investment vehicle. In exchange, Harris hoped to receive a highly customized compensation structure and gain greater access to investment professionals within the participating firms.

Text Mining im Personalmanagement: Eine Analyse der Anwendungspotenziale und Entwicklung eines Integrationskonzepts
by Felix GroßStetig wachsende Datenbestände bergen ein immenses Informationspotenzial und sind für Unternehmen daher von zentraler Bedeutung. Häufig liegen diese Daten in unstrukturierter Form vor, insbesondere in Textform. Text-Mining-Analysen liefern einen Ansatz, um große Mengen derartiger Daten zu analysieren, Muster in diesen Daten zu erkennen und die gewonnenen Informationen zur Entscheidungsunterstützung heranzuziehen. Der Einsatz dieser Technologie findet in zahlreichen strategischen Unternehmensbereichen – darunter dem Personalmanagement – sowohl in der Forschung als auch in der Praxis bislang jedoch nur eingeschränkt Beachtung. Vor diesem Hintergrund beschäftigt sich die Arbeit mit der Frage, in welcher Form die Technologie Text Mining genutzt und sinnvoll in die gesamte Breite des Personalmanagements integriert werden kann. Hierzu erfolgt eine systematische Analyse der konzeptionellen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Text Mining im Personalmanagement und der Eignung bestehender Text-Mining-Softwareangebote für den Einsatz in der Domäne. Darauf basierend erfolgt die Entwicklung einer neuartigen Systeminstanz, welche die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Text Mining im Personalmanagement erweitert und anhand von Beispielszenarien demonstriert und evaluiert.
