You gotta love the Olympics. There’s nothing like lounging on the sofa while watching extreme feats of athleticism – like the ridiculous abs on our swim team and the graceful routines of our gymnasts (I’m rooting for Gabby Douglas). But have you ever wondered what kind of insurance goes into preserving the health of our Olympic athletes? I’m guessing not, but I did a little research to find out.
Regulations for CMV drivers are changing, in particular with regards to medical cards. The changes affect various kinds of drivers differently. The rules remain the same as to which drivers need a federal medical certificate (Fed Med card) while operating a commercial vehicle, but drivers will now have to provide an up-to-date copy of this card to the DMV when they obtain it.

A friend of mine is a do-it-yourself home repair guy. He wanted a new deck, so he built one. The vinyl siding on his house needed cleaning, so he rented a power washer and spent his Saturday on a ladder. His son knocked a hole in the drywall, so he taught himself how to repair it. His workmanship is pretty good, but I have no doubt a pro could do it better. Build a nicer deck. Make the siding really sparkle. Patch the drywall without leaving a baseball-shaped bulge.

Walk into a Starbucks on any day of the week and you will more than likely have trouble finding a free table. Laptops cover the table tops and suit jackets drape the chairs. Their owners, while sipping their lattes, are also hard at work. New technology and internet programs have allowed for an entirely new way of working, which presents many challenges for the HR world.
We recently held an HNI University workshop called FMCSA Safety Audit Requirements and How to Prepare, where we heard from FMCSA and Wisconsin State Patrol officials on new policies and procedures in place. It was brought to our attention that not only is FMCSA’s auditing process changing, but so are the techniques used by the auditors.
