Data Center Growth

Google Data Center

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration requests comments on the challenges surrounding data center growth, resilience and security in the United States amidst a surge of computing power demand due to the development of critical and emerging technologies. This request focuses on identifying opportunities for the U.S. government to improve data centers’ market development, supply chain resilience, and data security. NTIA will rely on these comments, along with other public engagements on this topic, to draft and issue a public report capturing economic and security policy considerations and policy recommendations for fostering safe, secure, and sustainable data center growth.

Written comments must be received on or before November 4, 2024.

Power Management For Data Centers Challenges And Opportunities

Erling Hesla and Robert D. Giese

Abstract:  This paper presents a broad view of management of design and implementation of power systems for Data Centers. The paper outlines many challenges that are present because of the demanding requirements of Data Centers both in design and management, then introduces opportunities that recent technological advances have made possible. This paper presents several new approaches of ownership and responsibilities that directly affect financial viability of the Data Center.

British High Schoolers Try American Fried Chicken, Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

Biscuits and sausage gravy is firmly rooted in Southern American cuisine, which has a rich history influenced by African, Native American, European, and other culinary traditions. The combination of biscuits and sausage gravy reflects the availability of ingredients in the South, where biscuits (similar to a type of British scone) and pork products were common.

The concept of biscuits, similar to what Americans call biscuits, has British origins. Early settlers brought this baking technique with them to the American colonies. However, the American biscuit evolved over time to become lighter and fluffier compared to the denser British biscuit.

Chats Coffeehouse

The University of Northern Iowa does not currently have a student-run coffee shop based on available information. There is a coffee shop called Chats located in Maucker Union, which serves Starbucks coffee, Freshens smoothies, and other items, but it is not explicitly described as student-run.

In 2012, a student organization called UNI Roast planned to open a nonprofit, student-run coffee shop called The Roast on “The Hill” near campus, aiming to provide practical experience in business operations and foster a coffee shop culture. However, there is no evidence that The Roast is still operational in 2025, as no recent sources mention it.
