Iowa speed limit rise linked to more rural interstate deaths
Rural interstate fatalities in Iowa rose 10 percent after raising the speed limit to 70 mph in 2005. Between July 1, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2011, 250 people died on rural interstates, up from 227 in the previous 6 1/2 years. The state aims to cut crashes with stricter enforcement and median barrier cables, especially on I-80 in Jasper County where eight died in 2010 across three crashes.

Judge approves raise for Peregrine lawyer amid broker collapse
Judge Carol Doyle in Chicago approves a 400000 annual salary for Peregrine Financial Group general counsel Rebecca Wing, a raise proposed by Trustee Ira Bodenstein. The move comes as investigators say the Cedar Falls broker defrauded customers of over 200 million dollars and founder Russ Wasendorf Sr. faces fraud charges. The Commodity Customer Coalition opposed the raise, arguing it unjust given customers await recovery while funds are finally distributed from more than 150 million in assets.
