A system capable of monitoring mine electrical power systems and detecting impending component failure could significantly improve power system safety and reduce unscheduled equipment downtime. Such monitoring would require a method of evaluating electrical parameters, calculated from terminal values, for indications of component deterioration. The U.S. Bureau of Mines has targeted electrical failure of squirrel cage induction motors and examined the use of mathematical models to aid in this evaluation. The initial stage of this work is complete, and has produced polynomial networks called adaptive learning networks (ALN's) that can detect and quantify winding insulation leakage simulated on laboratory motors. In this modeling process, empirical data from laboratory motors were used to select the electrical parameters most significant for assessing motor conditions, and mathematical expressions relating these parameters to simulate deterioration were formed. ALN's developed thus far can process readily measured motor terminal information and quantify power and current levels of laboratory-simulated leakage to within 1% and 3% of full load values, respectively, for motors in the 10- to 150-hp size range. The next stage of this research is validation of these ALN's for actual motor failures; this stage is currently underway, using accelerated life testing of laboratory motors.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

This document is part of the United States Department of Agriculture's Organic Roots Collection. Organic Roots is a collection of the historic United States Department of Agriculture. The collection contains publications related to organic agriculture. The collection contains documents published before 1942 (before synthetic chemicals became widely used) that contain state-of-the-art information and data that is still very pertinent for today's agriculture.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

This guide is designed to offer strategies for building leadership capacity in schools and to assist school administrators in finding new ways to encourage and support teachers and students in their efforts to succeed. The guide answers four questions: (1) What do leaders do to create curriculum and instruction that push all students to higher levels of proficiency? (2) How do school leaders demonstrate that nearly all students--with their own effort and that of teachers and administrators--can master challenging curricula? (3) How do leaders generate the efforts of many to focus on the success of every student? ( 4 ) How can leaders put these ideas into practice? The guide is intended to give school leaders and school-system leaders practical ideas for encouraging and supporting effort as a means of improving student performance. Building leadership capacity means using effort to elicit effort from others. All members of the education community play significant roles. School boards need to promote programs and activities that encourage and support effort by the community. Administrators need to exhibit day-to-day behaviors that encourage and support effort by teachers and students. Teachers need to challenge students with rigorous, meaningful assignments and provide the extra time and support for students to complete them. Students need to understand that today's effort leads to tomorrow's success.

GAO provided information on economic aid to Panama, focusing on cash grant programs implemented pursuant to the Dire Emergency Supplemental Appropriation Act. GAO found that: (1) the Agency for International Development (AID) has not justified the size and composition of Panama's economic aid package with sufficient documentation; (2) although AID believes that the economic assistance program has been a success, the Panamanian economy began recovery before U.S. economic assistance was introduced; (3) AID could not determine the impact of private- and public-sector programs on the Panamanian economy, standard of living, debt, and unemployment due to unspecified target areas, delays in program implementation, and the lack of implementation guidelines; (4) Panama's economy began to recover once political and economic burdens were removed; (5) Panama's gross domestic product was restored to nearly pre-1987 levels and grew by about 9.3 percent in 1991 despite delays in cash grant program implementation; (6) AID needed to thoroughly analyze targeted countries' economies, set economic reform conditions, and withhold funds until conditions were met before providing assistance; and (7) AID assistance could have been effective if private-sector reactivation funds were disbursed after economic reforms were implemented.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on state implementation of transitional benefits, focusing on: (1) the proportion of eligible families receiving transitional child care (TCC) or transitional Medicaid benefits; (2) the reasons for variations among states; (2) state efforts to track the rates at which families return to the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program when their transitional benefits expire; and (3) the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) efforts to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of these benefits. GAO found that: (1) most states lack readily available data to evaluate the success of their efforts to deliver transitional benefits; (2) state case loads for transitional benefits increased during the first 15 months after the benefits became available; (3) not all states comply with legislative and regulatory requirements to inform families about transitional benefits; (4) not all states comply with HHS regulations that allow families to request TCC and begin receiving it after their AFDC benefits are terminated; and (5) mandated HHS evaluations of transitional benefits have not progressed beyond initial design work that HHS began in early 1990.

Super PACs emerged after the U.S. Supreme Court permitted unlimited corporate and union spending on elections in January 2010 (Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission). Although not directly addressed in that case, related, subsequent litigation (SpeechNow v. Federal Election Commission) and Federal Election Commission (FEC) activity gave rise to a new form of political committee. These entities, known as super PACs or independent-expenditure-only committees (IEOCs) have been permitted to accept unlimited contributions and make unlimited expenditures aimed at electing or defeating federal candidates. Super PACs may not contribute funds directly to federal candidates or parties.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the events surrounding the failure and foreclosure of the Longwood Cooperative, a low-income, multifamily housing project, focusing on: (1) the history of Longwood's financial and management problems; (2) why it took nearly 4 years for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to gain possession of Longwood after foreclosure proceedings began in 1982; and (3) HUD efforts to revitalize Longwood through its resale and rehabilitation. GAO found that: (1) Longwood began operations in the late 1950s, and converted to a nonprofit cooperative in July 1975 because of continuing financial problems; (2) a private firm managed Longwood from July 1975 through April 1977, when another firm replaced it; (3) the second firm inadequately managed Longwood, and the financial problems continued despite substantial federal assistance; (4) the Department of Justice began foreclosure proceedings on behalf of HUD in August 1982, but HUD did not gain control of Longwood until July 1986 because of court delays; (5) HUD sold the project in August 1987 under the condition that the new owner rehabilitate it within 2 years, and HUD estimated that rehabilitation costs would exceed $12 million; and (6) the new owner had completed about 85 percent of the rehabilitation work as of May 1988.
