Title: URI has big role in RI’s economic renewal (News)

Throughout the presidential- search process and during my time in Rhode Island so far, one thing has been repeatedly emphasized: The University of Rhode Island must take on an expanded and central role in the renewal of the Rhode Island economy. This new responsibility for URI is characterized as urgent and critical. I fully agree. In Rhode Island “recovery” will not be sufficient. We must renew, rebuild — in essence, re-create — an economy that is vibrant and sustainable in the 21st Century. This is certainly an ambitious goal. But such ambition is essential if we are to create and sustain the jobs required to ensure a high quality of life for Rhode Islanders.

One of the most clever mobile apps I've came across is called Trapster. It allows users to post frequent police speed trap locations and tag intersections that have those pesky red light cameras. Another great feature is that it follows your route using the phone's GPS then alerts you as you approach a hot spot. Check it out http://www.trapster.com.

Like Michelle said, hopefully the RI Nexus bloggers who go will keep us up to date on the topics discussed during the jog. The next two upcoming runs are going to be on July 8 and July 15
