"As everyone at the McConnell Center clearly understands, a solid grounding in the liberal arts develops critical thinking skills and prepares students to see possibilities that lie beyond their immediate horizons. It equips them to see unconventional solutions and to chart an azimuth through challenging periods. Those skills, in my view, are essential for those who truly want to lead their organizations, rather than to simply preside over them."

Famed sprinter Yohan Blake, nicknamed "The Beast" by fans, was born on December 26, 1989 in St. James, Jamaica. Blake began running competitively in the 100 and 200 meters at a young age. In 2009, he tested positive for methylaxanthine at the Jamaican Championships, and was banned for three months. He has since won various honors, including two gold medals at the 2011 World Championships,
"In training, [Yohan Blake] always works hard and pushes me."
"The trials woke me up ... Yohan [Blake] gave me a wake-up call. He knocked on my door and said, 'Usain, this is the Olympic year, wake up.' After that, I refocused and got my head together."
in the 100 and the 4-by-100-meter relay. Blake holds the record in the 4-by-100-meter relay and the national junior record in the 100. His best time in the 100 is 9.75 seconds. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he won a silver medal in the 100 meters with a time of 9.75 seconds, just shy of his rival Usain Bolt's 9.63 seconds. Similarly, in the 200-meter race, Blake finished second to Bolt, taking the silver.
Track Star
Famed sprinter Yohan Blake, nicknamed by fans as "The Beast," was born on December 26, 1989 in St. James, Jamaica. He attended St. Jago High School. Blake began running competitively in the 100 and 200 meters at a young age, and at the 2007 Caribbean Free Trade Association Games, set a national junior record in the 100, with a time of 10.11 seconds. He went on to successfully compete at various other track-and-field events, including the Reebox Grand Prix (now the Adidas Grand Prix), where he finished first in the 100 and third in the 200—behind Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, respectively—in 2009.
Later in 2009, Blake tested positive for methylaxanthine at the Jamaican National Championships, and was subsequently banned from track and field for three months. He has since received various honors in the 100 and 200: He won both races at his country's Jamaica National Junior Championships in 2006, and finished second in the 100 at the 2007 Pan American Junior Championships. He went on to win gold in the 4-by-100-meter relay at the 2008 World Junior Championships, and then captured two gold medals at the 2011 World Championships, in the 100 meters (9.92 seconds) and the 4-by-100-meter relay—Blake and his teammates (including Usain Bolt) finished the 4-by-100 in 37.04 seconds in 2011, breaking the world record for that event, which had been previously set by the Jamaican Olympic team in 2008.
Blake currently holds his nation's junior record in the 100 meters, and is the youngest person to break the 10-second barrier (2009). His best time in the 100 is 9.75 seconds.
Olympic Medalist
At the Jamaican Olympic trials, in June 2012, Blake beat rival and fellow Jamaican Usain Bolt in both the 100 and 200 meters. However, in the 100-meter final at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, Blake finished second, winning silver medal, with a time of 9.75 seconds. Usain Bolt won gold with 9.63 seconds, a new Olympic record.
Blake went on to compete in the 200-meter race, and, similar to his 100, finished second to Bolt and won the silver medal.
Other Projects
Blake founded the YB Afraid Foundation in 2011, an organization that works to address the needs of underserved youth.

Great Price, Great ProductPros: I needed an eight foot cable on a surge protector so my table would hide it. Stopped by BestBoxBuy and the cheapest one they had was $70.

Very Quick!Pros: Excellent surge protector.

Inexpensive MonsterPros: Excellent build, great price, does the job. The angled plug is great for tight spaces because my entertainment center is flush with the wall. The color coded plugs are great, also comes with matching cable labels! I might go with a less rainbow looking surge next time, and more with a mono colored one. Overall though, this is a great product at a great price. Thanks Newegg! Cons: Nothing major really. Only thing I could say (and this is based on taste only) is that the multi colored plugs do not match the look of my entrtainment center.

Statement of John H. Hill, Administrator Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and Merchant Marine Infrastructure, Safety, and Security
May 1, 2007
Chairman Lautenberg, Ranking Member Smith, and Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for inviting me today to discuss the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) proposed rulemaking concerning Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs) and our efforts to reduce the number of fatigue-related crashes involving commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. I am pleased to describe to you what FMCSA has proposed to improve the safety performance of motor carriers with severe patterns of hours-of-service (HOS) violations, and to promote the voluntary use of EOBRs in the motor carrier industry. However, as FMCSA is now analyzing all the comments received on the proposal, we have not made any decisions about the next step in the rulemaking. Any future decisions concerning the rulemaking will be based on our analysis of the comments and data submitted to the docket.
These days, the transportation community must confront many important issues. Even as priorities change and transportation needs evolve, safety on our roads must remain paramount to all other priorities. Perhaps the most important influence on improving future road safety rests with technology. By strategically integrating smart technologies like EOBRs, we will improve safety in the motor carrier industry.
For many years, the transportation community has focused on fighting driver fatigue as a way to make our roads safer. Earlier this year, we took another step toward reducing the number of these crashes by proposing the mandatory use of EOBRs by carriers with the worst levels of compliance with the HOS rules. This action will force these carriers to provide their drivers with adequate opportunities to obtain the proper amount of rest before getting behind the wheel.
Initially prompted by a desire to improve efficiency, the motor carrier industry began looking to automated methods for recording drivers' duty status more than 20 years ago. In the late 1980s, we implemented the first rule allowing the use of automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs). Still in effect today, the rule provides straightforward performance requirements for these devices to ensure they are tamper-resistant and capture enough information to monitor drivers' time behind the wheel.
The existing design standard must permit duty status to be updated only when the vehicle is at rest, unless the driver is registering the crossing of a State boundary. The on-board recorder and support systems must be tamper resistant "to the maximum extent practicable." The device must provide a visual or an audible warning to the driver if it ceases to function. Any sensor failures and edited data must be identified in the Records of Duty Status, more commonly known as logbooks, printed from the device. Finally, the on-board recorder must be maintained and recalibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications, drivers must be adequately trained in the proper operation of the device, and the motor carrier must maintain a second (backup) copy of electronic HOS files in a separate location.
At the time the current rule was issued, the technology to allow on-board recorders to transmit data wirelessly between the CMV and the motor carrier's base of operations did not exist on a widespread commercial basis. Today's technologies allow for real-time transmission of a vehicle's location and other operational information. These technologies enable a motor carrier to know at any point in time where a vehicle is, whether it is on its assigned route, and when it reaches its destination. These same technologies can also be used to record and transmit the driver's HOS information. FMCSA calls these current-generation recording devices electronic on-board recorders or EOBRs. By exploiting the power of these technologies, a motor carrier can improve not only its scheduling of vehicles and drivers but its asset management and customer service. These developments in technology and communications require that FMCSA revise the current, narrowly defined on-board recorder regulations.
MAY 2000 PROPOSAL TO REQUIRE EOBRs
Since 2000, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has been exploring the EOBR issue further—including whether these devices should be mandatory—and analyzing proper design, use, costs, and benefits. In May 2000, FMCSA proposed requiring the use of on-board recorders for long-haul and regional carriers based on data indicating: 1) a higher percentage of crashes involving these carriers; and 2) non-compliance with the HOS regulations, particularly by some segments of the long-haul industry. The proposal was part of the Agency's comprehensive rulemaking on HOS of CMV drivers.
After reviewing the public comments to the rulemaking docket and considering data concerning the potential costs and benefits of the proposal to mandate AOBRDs, the Agency decided that mandating the use of on-board recorders was not appropriate at that time. However, the Agency determined there was a need to further explore the potential of this technology for helping to ensure that motor carriers and drivers comply with the HOS rule. To this end, the Agency conducted research on EOBRs and other technologies, and considered the feasibility of providing incentives for their voluntary use. Key research factors included: 1) the ability to identify the individual driver; 2) tamper resistance; 3) the ability to produce records for audit; 4) the ability of roadside enforcement to quickly and easily access the HOS information; 5) the level of protection afforded other personal, operational, or proprietary information; 6) cost; and 7) driver acceptability. The research included a literature and technology review that was completed in March 2005, and a study focusing on a range of data collection and information management topics, including location referencing methods, completed in August 2005.
On September 1, 2004, FMCSA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) requesting public comment on the issue of technical specifications for EOBRs, and whether the use of such devices should be required for the entire motor carrier industry, certain segments of the industry, or whether use of the devices should remain voluntary. During 2005, we analyzed the comments to the ANPRM and prepared a proposal for a new EOBR rule that takes those comments into consideration.
In January 2007, FMCSA proposed a comprehensive rule intended to increase the use of EOBRs within the motor carrier industry and to improve HOS compliance. The approach contains three components: 1) a new performance-oriented standard for EOBR technology; 2) the use of EOBRs to remediate regulatory noncompliance; and 3) incentives to promote EOBR use. FMCSA believes this approach strikes an appropriate balance between promoting highway safety and Executive Order requirements to evaluate the societal costs and benefits of all significant rulemakings. In addition to requesting comments through the Federal Register notice, the Agency held three listening sessions in Washington, DC, Phoenix, AZ, and Chicago, IL.
FMCSA's NPRM proposes amending the safety regulations to incorporate new performance standards for EOBRs installed in CMVs manufactured on or after 2 years from the effective date of a final rule. EOBRs meeting FMCSA's current requirements and voluntarily installed in CMVs manufactured before the rule's effective date may continue to be used for the remainder of the service life of those CMVs.
The technical standards element of the proposed rule would help motor carriers and safety compliance officials by providing them with clearly-defined information, presented and stored in a standardized way. These standards would provide a "benchmark" for EOBR system developers to use in designing their systems and for motor carriers to use in comparing the features and performance of different systems. The standards would also enable motor carriers to select the devices that are most appropriate for different types of operations, knowing that the data from the different systems will be recorded, stored, and secured in consistent ways. This portion of the rule would require EOBRs to record basic information needed to track a driver's HOS compliance, including: identity of the driver, duty status, date, time, and location of the commercial vehicle, and distance traveled. Additionally, it would add a new requirement to use Global Positioning System technology or other location tracking systems to automatically identify the location of the vehicle, which further reduces the likelihood of falsification of HOS information.
Our proposed technical specifications would improve dramatically the ease and convenience of using these devices as a safety tool. First, there would be standard display of specific data fields. Regardless of location or which manufacturer's device is being used, every read-out and display would be in a similar format. Additionally, the technology would have to support the ability to transfer the data—either by hard wire or wireless transmission. Updating the technology standards will allow us to make the best use of modern and efficient communications. Uniformity will help drivers and law enforcement know how to use these devices regardless of manufacturer or model.
The rule further proposes that motor carriers with a history of serious noncompliance with the HOS rules would be subject to mandatory installation of EOBRs meeting the new performance standards. If FMCSA determined, based on HOS records reviewed during each of two compliance reviews (CRs) conducted within a 2-year period, that a motor carrier had a 10 percent or greater violation rate ("pattern violation") for certain HOS regulations, FMCSA would issue the carrier an EOBR remedial directive. The motor carrier would be required to install EOBRs in all of its CMVs regardless of their date of manufacture unless the carrier had equipped its vehicles already with AOBRDs meeting the Agency's current requirements and could demonstrate to FMCSA that its drivers understand how to use the devices.
Finally, FMCSA would encourage industrywide use of EOBRs by providing the following incentives for motor carriers that voluntarily use EOBRs in their CMVs: (1) revising its compliance review procedures to permit examination of a random sample of drivers' records of duty status; and (2) providing relief from HOS supporting documents requirements, provided certain conditions were satisfied.
In all our enforcement activities, FMCSA focuses on those companies that are most likely to be a safety hazard on the road. Based on its safety research, FMCSA believes that motor carriers whose drivers routinely exceed HOS limits have an increased probability of involvement in fatigue-related crashes and therefore present a disproportionately high risk to highway safety. Based on the Agency's analysis of its Motor Carrier Management Information System data from CRs conducted on motor carriers operating in interstate commerce, carriers to which a remedial directive would apply under this proposal have crash rates that are 87 percent higher than the overall industry average. Currently, carriers with high crash rates and high driver HOS violation rates top our priority list for CRs and are targeted at the roadside for increased inspections.
Under this proposed rule, only those truck companies with a history of serious HOS violations would be required to install EOBRs in all of their commercial vehicles. Within the first two years of the rule's enforcement, we estimate that 930 carriers with 17,500 drivers would fall under this requirement.
FMCSA recognizes the views of many in the highway safety community and the general public about mandating EOBRs. However, there are several million CMVs on America's roads today. Our estimated costs for mandating EOBRS on every vehicle in the fleet greatly exceeded the estimated benefits at the time we published the April 2003 Final Rule on drivers' HOS. Therefore, we focused on finding other ways to get more of these units on CMVs without creating an unreasonable burden with a government mandate. Consequently, we proposed a risk-based approach to target this technology where it is likely to have the most benefits for the driving public.
While EOBR technology is at our disposal, we must always remember that it is just another tool to ensure safe driver behavior. Drivers must also follow the HOS rules that protect them and protect those with whom they share the road. In 2003 and again in 2005, FMCSA revised its HOS regulations to require motor carriers of property to provide drivers with better opportunities to obtain sleep and thereby reduce the incidence of crashes attributed in whole or in part to drivers operating CMVs while drowsy, tired, or fatigued. These rulemakings were necessary because FMCSA estimated that a portion of truck drivers involved in large truck crashes each year is fatigued. Specifically, the results from our March 2006 Report to Congress on the Large Truck Crash Causation Study indicate that 13 percent of the large truck drivers involved in study crashes were believed to be fatigued. FMCSA estimates that, when adhered to fully, the changes to the HOS rules will save lives each year as a result of giving drivers an increased incremental amount of time to obtain rest and sleep. EOBRs will monitor non-complying motor carriers for compliance with these important rules.
Motor carriers have been allowed to use on-board recorders to document drivers' HOS for approximately 20 years. While the current level of on-board recorder use is limited and many believe that nothing short of an industrywide mandate will improve safety, the information we had available at the time we published our NPRM did not support an industrywide mandate. We have received strong feedback to our NPRM and have begun the process of reviewing each of the comments to the docket to determine the most appropriate steps to take in following up on the January 2007 proposal.
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. I look forward to working with this Committee and the transportation community to ensure a safe transportation system for the citizens of the United States. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

ISU police now armed | DesMoinesRegister.com | The Des Moines Register
I never could understand why they couldnt before. It doesnt bother me any as long as they are still trained the same. Anymore you never know who might bring a gun to class or on campus and start firing.
Finally! This was a big issue when I was a freshman back in 96. Some people tried to turn it into a racial thing... I am glad that didn't happen this time. Now lets just hope they never HAVE to use their weapons.

You better set it pretty high... when was the last time Ames PD shot somebody?
DPS has been itchin to pack for years. I wouldn't worry about guns, I'd be worried if they could tase you bro'!
I was gonna say... that didn't take long but I guess we already had the weapons. I understand that the ISU PD train regularly with them as well... just couldn't carry them before
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State, and may her colors ever fly!!! In Accordance with Prophecy
Now that we have the ISU Police armed, could we find some spare arms for #26 SmithJones of the football team?

Yeah, I don't get why this was such a big deal. ISUPD are fully trained cops. Cops should carry guns.
It was a joke that they couldn't carry before. They were all trained to carry while at the academy. This really is a step in the right direction.
Originally Posted by superdorf You better set it pretty high... when was the last time Ames PD shot somebody? Didn't Sam mack get shot in the leg?? Or was it his accomplice (White?)?
Some people wear Superman pajamas. Superman wears Chuck Norris pajamas.
As long as they are fully trained (which the have been) than yes they should be able to carry guns. I think they should have tasers as well if they don't already. Bcuz different situations call for different weapons. And that's the type of training that will stop an unwanted shooting by a police officer on someone.

Like fellow gay icon Madonna, Kylie Minogue is a master of reinvention, borrowing heavily from the latest trends in an ongoing quest to stay musically relevant. If you're expecting Body Language, Minogue's ninth studio album, to be a sequel to her massive 2002 hit Fever, you'll be sorely disappointed. In a stylistic departure, Minogue explores new (or shall we say old) territory, abandoning nouveau disco in a bold move toward electroclash, �80s synth pop and contemporary R&B beats.
While Body Language may offer nothing entirely groundbreaking, there is plenty here to like. From the slinky seductiveness of "Slow, " the opening track and first single, to the mid-tempo dance delight of "Sweet Music, " on which Kylie dares us to "check out this groove " as she heads "into a new dimension, " the album pulses with early �80s blips, beeps and driving bass lines that would make Gary Numan proud.
The problem, if you want to call it that, is that no obvious hit stands out from the pack. With its alluring minimalist rhythms and lyrical eroticism, the album works best when taken as a whole. It's the closest thing to a make-out record Minogue has ever recorded, alternating bump-and-grind beats with more danceable fare. That said, Body Language finds Minogue trying to keep up with younger pop princesses on the scene in terms of sex appeal. Her breathy vocals and sex kitten purrs combined with the vampish Bridgette Bardot-meets-Britney Spears cover art signal Minogue's willingness to please in a bid for acceptance in the U.S. market.
Managing to be simultaneously modern and retro, "Red Blooded Woman, " the album's second international single, is her most blatant ploy for a larger American audience. Featuring R&B rhythms reminiscent of Destiny's Child, the song also pays homage to Dead or Alive as Minogue coos, "You got me spinning round, round, round, round (like a record). "
Cathy Dennis, the early �90s hit maker who penned and produced "Can't Get You Out of My Head " and two other standout tracks on Fever, is on board again, this time writing the infectious hook of "After Dark. " While the result isn't as thrilling as the Fever masterpiece, "After Dark " is a well-constructed mid-tempo dance number that serves as a link between the two albums. It seems Dennis has been too busy writing and producing songs for American Idols Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken (not to mention "Toxic " from Spears' In The Zone) to repeat her previous triumph this time around.
On "Secret/Take You Home, " a song that borrows the refrain from a 1985 Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam hit, Minogue even tackles rap with better results than Madonna achieved on "American Life. " The only major misstep is "I Feel For You. " No, it isn't the Prince-penned Chaka Khan hit, but it certainly sounds like a knock-off of his mid-�80s funk inspired work. The opening thunder and rain sound effects and Kylie's strained vocals are enough to make you wish the Purple One would step in and show her how it's done.
Yes, Minogue's Fever may have subsided, but she continues to smolder with the slowburn groove of Body Language. If throbbing dance music is what you want, wait for the remixes. But if you're looking for aural seduction, Minogue's Body Language speaks volumes.

"We didn't evaluate Magnolia as being as quick as they ended up being. We had to adjust to the speed of the game and it took us awhile to do that. It's hard to say until you get out there and play a little bit.''
Madonna overcame a costly turnover in last week's 20-14 double-overtime victory at Tucker County in the semis, but Taylor doesn't think that formula will work again.
"When you get this deep in the playoffs you can't turn the ball over,'' he said. "We can't have that this week. Defensively, [Wahama is] just so aggressive.
"They're a physical football team. They put a helmet on you. We've played a couple physical teams, but I think they're going to be top on the list for us. We're going to have to make sure we're ready for that.''

In this morning's headlines: - 40 wind chill, Asian carp, Lansing utility to discuss ice storm
It's going to be another cold one
Wind chills could reach 26 below zero in West Michigan, 32 below in mid Michigan, and 40 below in Southeast Michigan today. Gov. Rick Snyder is asking people to stay home during the cold snap.
New report offers plans to fight Asian carp
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has released a report years in the making that offers eight plans for preventing Asian carp and other species from migrating between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi basin. Some options involve placing physical barriers in the waterways to separate the watersheds. Other potential steps include use of locks, electric barriers and water treatment to remove invasive species," the Associated Press reports.

"Since we decided to call our son by his middle name, I was looking for a layout that allowed space for the full name, but also a place to feature his common name/nickname. This was one of the few layout across companies that allowed for this space in a layout I liked."
"...that I didn't buy more! These cards surpassed my expectations! I had previously ordered birth announcements from another company and had to return them because they were hideous. After I got my money back I bought these. I wish I had ordered these first, it would have saved me a lot of time. I liked how simple the design was; once I put my information in it really looked like the card was designed just for him! I ordered two separate prints, one in English and one in Spanish, both look wonderful. The thick cardstock looks professional so I recommend using a high quality picture to match. Oh, and save yourself time and money by ordering more than what you think you'll need. Once I saw the cards I wanted to show off my baby by giving one to EVERYONE!"
"Assuming you have a pic that fits and the baby is leaning away and isn't overly covered by the words on the front...this is such a cute card. The paper was high quality and I'd spring the extra for the rounded corners. Everyone whose received one just loved it."
"very pleased with print quality and thickness of paper, the photo looked very good, background of our photo was mostly white so we changed the text color to blue to match the "welcoming with love" wording, and also moved it to the left side of the card instead of the right. we also customized the back of the card to include a photo with a caption."
"Ordered these to announce my daughters homecoming from a 127 day stay at the NICU. The format allowed me to show several pictures of her through her journey. The colors were great and the design of the card looked very chic. Everyone commented on how great the pictures on the front came out. I must also comment on the great customer service. I chose not to include the time of birth on the details since she had a birth date and coming home date. I received a call from tiny prints who noticed it was missing and wanted to give me the opportunity to still add it. I thought that kind of attention to detail was great. Clearly they are looking out for their customers. I would defiantly recommend using them."
