With rare, previously unpublished photographs and iconic images of politicians from the state's founders to Ann Richards, George W. Bush, and Rick Perry, here is the first-ever photographic album of Texas politicians and political campaigns. The Republic of Texas was founded in 1839, around the time that photography was being invented. So while there were no photographers at the Alamo or San Jacinto, they arrived soon after to immortalize, on film, Sam Houston, David Burnett, Mirabeau Lamar, and many other founding fathers of the Lone Star State. Over the following nearly two centuries, Texas politics and politicians have provided reliable, often dramatic, and sometimes larger-than-life subjects for photographers to capture in the moment and add to the historical record. Picturing Texas Politics presents the first photographic album of Texas politicians and political campaigns ever assembled. Chuck Bailey has searched archives, museums, libraries, and private collections to find photographs that have never been published, as well as iconic images, such as Russell Lee's pictures of one of Ralph Yarborough's campaigns. These photographs are arranged into four chronological sections, each one introduced by historian Patrick Cox, who also provides informative photo captions. The photographs display power and political savvy from the early Republic to Lyndon Johnson and Bob Bullock; unmatched dedication to Texas in the Hobby and Bush families; and the growing influence of women in politics, from Miriam \"Ma\" Ferguson to Barbara Jordan, Ann Richards, and Kay Bailey Hutchison. With Sam Houston's jaguar vest, W. Lee \"Pappy\" O'Daniel's hillbilly band, a famous governor with an ostrich, and prominent Texans eating watermelons, shooting guns, and riding horses, this is Texas politics at its liveliest and best.

Ongoing analysis of data collected via the Minnesota Perception Survey reveals several managerial factors that support effective safety climates and performance. It also establishes \"benchmarks\" that distinguish effective programs from struggling programs. Four of each are compared here.

We present the results of SEE testing with high energy protons and with low and high energy heavy ions. This paper summarizes test results for components considered for Low Earth Orbit and Deep Space applications.

Neutrons can effectively be used to screen electronic parts intended to be used in Low Earth Orbit. This paper compares neutron with proton environments in spacecraft and discusses recent comparison testing.

Perhaps the most comprehensive study of safety program effectiveness began in the railroad industry in 1976. The survey became available to firms in other industries in 1989. The project's master database currently contains more than 50,000 questionnaires. To participate, firms must agree to include their data in the master database. In general, executives and top managers consider safety programs effective, while employees rate them lower. Recognition given to individuals for good safety performnce is seen as the least effective management system overall. Handling of rules violations and the disciplinary process received low ratings, as did supervisor training, safety inspections, and handling of alcohol and drug abuse problems. Overall, the most positive response concerns accident investigation, communications, safety meetings, and hazards correction categories. The survey's data provide real direction for improving underlying systems that affect safety performance.
