Traffic control devices (TCDs) are very critical for the safe and efficient transportation of people and goods. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), by setting minimum standards and providing guidance, ensures uniformity of traffic control devices across the nation. The use of uniform TCDs (messages, locations, sizes, shapes, and colors) helps reduce crashes and congestion, and improves the efficiency of the surface transportation system. Uniformity also helps reduce the cost of TCDs through standardization. The information contained in the MUTCD is the result of years of practical experience, research, and/or the MUTCD experimentation process. This effort ensures that TCDs are visible, recognizable, understandable, and necessary. The MUTCD is a dynamic document that changes with time to address contemporary safety and operational issues.

I support and applaud the many fine sheriffs, deputies and employeesof sheriffs' departments throughout the U.S. who quietly go about doingtheir jobs every day of their working lives. They are to be commended andI would state unequivocally that these hard-working men and women are asolid majority of law enforcement personnel. It's the miscreants of the professionthat I have attempted to call out for the defilements of their oaths ofoffice, for their betrayal of our trust.Because there was no one state that stood apart from the others interms of abuses on the part of its sheriffs, and for ease of reference for thereader, it was decided that the best way to present my findings was to simplygo alphabetically, state-by-state.

There was nothing as far as Yahweh, or Allah, orBrahma, or Ganesha, or Mirwxf, or Baal, any of the Buddhist gods, or any of aboutfive hundred other different names for whoever was in charge of a little speck ofnothing planet called Earth was concerned. The Hare Krishnas, the Mormons andthe Scientologists wouldn't join the party until several million years later.

Don Williams awoke in a cold sweat. He sat up in bed and planted his feet firmly on the floor as he wiped his eyes, trying to get back to reality. He had just been jolted from a nightmare in which he found himself being handcuffed and shoved into the back seat of a patrol car at 6:00 in the morning.

Like many of my childhood friends, I spent a lot of time dreaming about who or what I would become as an adult. I even dreamt about becoming a superhero. Though my superhero dream has not come to pass (yet), many others have. I'm a dad, and I have a few good friends. I'm also a petroleum engineer, an attorney and an adjunct professor of law. I've taught at Tulane University, Loyola School of Law, and LSU's Paul M. Hebert Law Center for a total of 20 years, and I've practiced law for nearly 30 years. Additionally, I've had the opportunity to play in the NFL, and I sang on national television at the 1989 Super Bowl. I've been awarded numerous leadership, athletic and academic awards in law school, college and high school. I married my high school sweetheart and was blessed with three wonderful children, two sons and one daughter, whom I'm extremely proud of. I became a deacon and Chairman of the Deacon Board at the church I attended. I grew up with both parents in the home, in a neighborhood where everybody knew everybody and attended a church where everybody loved everybody.

As part of the review, we visited the hurricane-ravaged Gulf Coast during mid November 2005. We met with government officials, business and community leaders, and volunteers amidst the rubble of what had been their homes, schools, and places of worship. Their courage and fortitude in the face of tragedy was inspirational. And while we were determined to learn the lessons to improve our future disaster response, it was clear that for residents of the Gulf Coast, survival and hope still came a day at a time. We were struck by the decency and compassion of those we met and moved by their continuing emotion and pain. As you know, it is hard for those who have not witnessed first hand the hurricane's destruction and its human toll to fully comprehend the importance of your charge that we prepare to respond more effectively to our fellow citizens in their times of greatest need. This Report then is a tribute to those who have served and those who have suffered. We remember those who lost their lives and all still affected by this tragedy. Though we can never replace their unfathomable losses, we have an obligation to continue helping those still suffering to recover and rebuild their lives.
