We understand the holidays can be stressful at times, especially when planning a holiday menu that caters to a variety of dietary restrictions. Try this simple lentil loaf recipe for your next holiday dinner.
After nearly 19 years of working at All Lines Insurance with amazing colleagues and outstanding clients, I have decided to accept a position with Safeco Insurance effective July 21. I leave with mixed emotions because I have made so many good friends over these past two decades. My life has been greatly enriched by the kindness and encouragement so many of you have shown to me.
Business at All Lines will continue as usual, with Cameron Pechia handling my client accounts. I have full trust that Cameron will handle my accounts with the integrity and timeliness you deserve and have come to expect.
Even though I will miss all of you, I am looking forward to this new challenge and to starting a new phase of my career. As we all know, the world is small and I trust our paths will cross again.
Best wishes,
Molly Smith

It may seem ironic that public schools aren't exempt from Berkeley County's controversial transportation impact fee and a similar one in Dorchester County, which can range from thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands for nonresidential development.
Impact fees are aimed at making new development pay for growth-related expenses, such as roads. School Districts across the tri-county area are building new schools to handle the area's fast population growth, and are being assessed impact fees because of the traffic associated with schools.
This year the Berkeley County School District paid $215,177 in transportation impact fees for Nexton Elementary School, for example, but like most school districts, Berkeley County School District is not allowed to collect impact fees on the new construction that creates the need for new schools.
The Dorchester 2 School District is an exception - an unconstitutional one, according to two homebuilder associations - because state legislation in 2009 allowed only that district to assess an impact fee on residential development.
"The taxpayers in this area were wanting a fee to be imposed, to help deal with the growth," said Allyson Duke, the school district's chief financial officer. "We're not going to turn down money to help with building programs."
With a fast-rising student population, the district is now using 186 manufactured-home style classrooms to handle the overflow. The district calls them "learning cottages" and at Knightsville Elementary, they now comprise most of the classroom space.
"With 37 trailers, we have more students outside the building than inside the building," said district spokeswoman Pat Raynor. "We do have facilities that are severely overcrowded."
The impact fee collected since mid-2009 has raised a little over $8 million, but the district hasn't spent the funds due to the ongoing lawsuit filed by The Home Builders Association of South Carolina and the Charleston Trident Home Builders Association. Preliminary motions in the case were appealed all the way to the state Supreme Court, which last year rejected the school district's attempt to have the challenge dismissed. The case is back at the starting point with both sides collecting information.
Charleston Trident Home Builders Association President Philip Ford said it's not fair to blame crowded schools on new construction.
"You can buy an existing home from a retired couple, and bring three or four kids with you, and you're not going to pay the Dorchester 2 School District $2,500," he said. "And that retired couple can buy a new home, and they will pay it."
One of the larger developers in the area now is MeadWestvaco, which is building the Nexton community with nearly 10,000 homes, and developing the 72,000-acre East Edisto property in Dorchester County. Ken Seeger, president of MeadWestvaco's Community Development and Land Management division, said the company isn't opposed to the school district's impact fee.
"Unlike the homebuilders (association), we supported the school impact fee," Seeger said in a recent interview. "You kind of need to help, when it comes to public infrastructure."
It could potentially take years to resolve the litigation over the impact fee. Builders also pay impact fees to water and sewer utilities, to municipalities including Mount Pleasant and Summerville, and to counties including Berkeley and Dorchester.
Added up, the impact fees on a single house can total $7,000 or more in the Dorchester 2 School District, and more than $8,000 in Mount Pleasant. Charleston County and municipalities including North Charleston have no impact fees.
"There has to be a balance," Seeger said. "There's only so much you can pass along before homes become unaffordable."

If you have a 08+ 4.7L and superchips read this
There was a bug with the fan settings (even if you didn't touch them) with the superchips 3865 flashpaq for my 2010 4.7L (and I assume all 2008+ 4.7L). They were working with me to fix it over the past several months and the update I tried last night finally fixed it. I suggest anyone that has this year/engine/tuner combo goes and updates their tuner to fix theirs as well. Just an FYI.
Thanks for the update, I'll snag it soon
no problem, after the update when you go to fan settings it should read stock settings as "low and med N/A, and high 222". If it shows stock as anything else it didn't update.
gotcha, that makes more sense
Don't think I got the push update...I started the update app itdownloaded some files, then logged in as required, attached the Cortex and said everything was up to date. I then went out to my truck and tested it out, nothing changed on my unit...
I'll ask them for you then post back.
Thanks, i'll look forward to it
Here was his response:
"That is correct the update was targeted just to your tuner for the test. I dont know for sure when the update will be rolled into production but if you want you can get me his tuners serial number and I can target him to the same update you have so he doesnt have to wait."
So I guess everyone will have to wait. If you want to send me your serial number I'll forward it to them and then post back to you once it's ready. I've been emailing with them for almost the whole year so they respond very fast to me.
Awsome deal, just sent you a PM
PM'ed you a response!

Best Innovative Practice Award
American Counseling Association of Missouri
The American Counseling Association of Missouri issued an invitation to all of the graduate counseling programs in Missouri. It was a challenge to see which school could send the most students to the annual ACAM conference. It was a success since we had a 20% increase in students attending the conference this year, compared to last year! A trophy was awarded to the top school for the year. At the next conference, the trophy will be passed to the new winner. Students are encouraged to attend the conference, where we hope to impress upon them the importance of the organization affiliation and becoming involved, perhaps in leadership roles. Students are the future of ACAM!
Best Leadership Development Award
Ohio Counseling Association The Ohio Counseling Association provided their first annual Leadership Institute. In attendance were 45 leaders and emerging leaders from various state chapters and divisions. Topics presented at the LI were generated based on attendees' expressed needs, and included strategic planning, running effective meetings, and motivating volunteers. A panel of past state branch presidents served on a discussion panel and shared their lived leadership experiences with attendees. The program was universally well-received by attendees!
ACA-NY ACA-NY created an annual event that employed a multi-dimensional experience for members to learn more about the power of grassroots legislative advocacy and how to take action for clients, the community, and the counseling profession.
Connecticut Counseling Association
The Connecticut Counseling Association held a leadership institute to orient current leaders and continue addressing the organization's strategic goals while encouraging members to become more involved. The Institute provided an opportunity for the association to connect with non-members to increase membership, foster professional development and encourage networking amongst all counselors. The LDI had over 30 attendees, most of whom expressed interest in joining CCA and becoming more involved in various projects, committees, and leadership roles.
Florida Counseling Association
Advocacy and Public Policy Initiative: After attending the Institute for Leadership Training (ILT) sponsored by the American Counseling Association's (ACA) in July of 2013 and participating in the "Day on the Hill" and all "advocacy and public policy" trainings. Upon returning to Florida, it was identified that the Florida Counseling Association (FCA) had to improve in meeting the Association's Purpose. Further dialogue and discussion among the leadership and members occurred along with the understanding that the 2015 ACA Convention would be held in Orlando, Florida, the following objectives were developed to meet the Association's purpose: 1) To promote public policy advocacy; 2) To promote public awareness of counseling and the profession; 3) To encourage partnerships with other professional stakeholders. Four specific initiatives were developed to meet these objectives that allowed for increase in membership, increased FCAs presence in the public and develop new alliances within the counseling profession and increase our membership.
Louisiana Counseling Association
LCA Leadership Academy: Up to eight LCA members are selected from applications submitted to participate in the LCA Leadership Academy. The LCA Leadership Academy was designed to train candidates (LCA members including graduate students and new professionals) to have highly significant leadership qualities/skills of: Integrity, Honesty, Humility, Courage, Commitment, Sincerity, Passion, Confidence, Positivity, Wisdom, Determination, Compassion, and Sensitivity. The ultimate goal is to identify and nurture future generations of LCA Leaders to become officers, board members, division presidents, committee chairs, etc. LCA Leadership Academy prepares candidates for future leadership roles within LCA and ACA. The candidates participate in a twelve month Leadership Action Learning Project and carry out the project with the support of members of the LCA Board of Directors. There are Leadership Academy graduates that have gone on to serve on the LCA Executive Board as well as Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners. The impact it had on the LCA membership was to provide training for the interested members to obtain knowledge regarding LCA's history, governance process, and strategic initiatives. The LCA Leadership Academy not only prepares future leaders of LCA but the leadership skills are taken into the community promoting LCA, marketing, membership recruitment, networking with universities, schools, organizations, etc. The LCA Leadership Academy prepares future leaders of LCA as well as ACA.
Idaho Counseling Association
The Idaho Counseling Association launched a "Creating Connections" campaign to empower and encourage ICA members to create connections with legislators. With the support of all ICA divisions, the PP&L Committee developed and implemented four training workshops for counselors. The impact of these trainings culminated when ICA hosted a meet-and-greet breakfast with Idaho Legislators at the Idaho Capitol Building. ICA members enthusiastically supported the Creating Connections campaign and connections with Idaho Legislators are beginning.
Colorado Counseling Association
To develop the 2014-2015 term, CCA hosted a Leadership Summit, inviting members and governing council members to join the executive council for a day dedicated to developing an annual strategic plan. The goal was to walk away with three very concrete objectives, which included corresponding goals and tactics for bringing them to fruition. The results have included a 40% increase in membership and a sizeable increase in revenue for the organization.

A Police Officer's Prayer
Oh Lord, while I'm on my beat
May I know that you're with me,
And protect me as I go to guard
Other's lives and property.
Help me ignore those who scorn
And show me no respect,
But be mindful of all citizens
I've sworn to protect.
Be with my fellow officers
And guard their safety too.
May I always put duty first
In the work that I must do.
May I not disgrace the uniform
But bring pride to the badge I wear.
That I'd be a good policeman, Lord
Would be my only prayer.
HAHAHA... funny guy ;)

The Badge
It is polished and shiny and looks so fine.
Once you earn it you have to tow the line.
The minute you wear it upon your chest
it becomes a symbol that you are the best.
It means honesty, integrity, and fairness to all.
Your life is never your own, but at the publics call.
Night or day, any hour, it makes you a mark.
It doesn't protect you from a shot in the dark.
Over the years the shine starts to fade,
but brighter still is the man its made.
It is often what separates you from the crowd.
It is a second family of which you are proud.
Hello to my new Police Link friends. I am excited to be an active law enthusiast and have worked as an armed guard am looking forward to one day becoming an LEO. Does any one have any advise for me?

text: ASHEVILLE After six seasons in the NBA, power forward Josh McRoberts understands sometimes a team is trading for your contract, not you. He understands it but he doesn't have to like it. He felt extraneous in stints with the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic the past two seasons. So when he hit free-agency in July, a big factor in his re-signing with the Charlotte Bobcats was feeling needed and valued.

Business News
Audi opens li-ion battery competence center
The competence center - Audi calls it a "project house" - is located near the company's headquarters in Ingolstadt, Germany. About 100 engineers and electronics experts work at the facility which covers some 3500 square meters. According to Audi, the basic concept for the competence center is to promote close collaboration between all disciplines involved in high-voltage battery technology.
Key focus areas of the high-voltage project house include design and development of proprietary hardware and software for all components of such batteries as well as development and production of batteries for Audi's R8 e-tron and Audi A1 e-tron fleet batteries. The research activities are complemented by a small pilot production line for prototypes and small-series battery types. In addition, the competence center also disposes of a high-voltage testing area. There, the company can test Hi-voltage batteries at cell, module and system level.
"The high-voltage battery project house is a major step for us towards electric mobility," said Michael Dick, member of Audi's board of management and responsible Technical Development. Besides driving the product development, the new activity also will have to ensure that the batteries meet the company's quality requirements, he added.
A strategic partner for Audi's drivetrain battery development is Panasonic.

Wendi C. Thomas: Tennessee lawmakers earn dubious award
With much disappointment, I give my first group "On the Pipe" award to the Tennessee General Assembly, which has displayed no regard for human rights, teachers' job security or women's health.
In the 107th session, lawmakers voted for a raft of nonsensical, discriminatory and mean-spirited bills. They must be smoking some primo stuff; only an addiction to the crack pipe would explain this behavior.
There's no need to sugar- coat it: It's the Republicans in control of the House, the Senate and the governor's office -- which means they're running things. Right into the ground and onto mocking YouTube videos and even a head-shaking segment of "The Daily Show."
How bad is it? It's so bad, I may have to say I'm from Mississippi.
The bold legislators who opposed these bills deserve thanks for their well meaning, if futile, efforts.
But since Democrats -- and to be fair, sane Republicans whose brains if not their spines would have led them to oppose such measures -- were outnumbered, Tennesseans can now be embarrassed by:
The Equal Access to Intrastate Commerce law, which forbids local governments from ensuring that their contractors don't discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered employees. Yep, the legislature has decided that it should be up to businesses to decide who they discriminate against. Sounds like a lovely idea.
The Material Support to Designated Entities Act. After much opposition by Muslims and others with sense, this bill was revised to omit references to Shariah law. The law would allow state authorities to go after folks who knowingly support terrorist organizations -- because you know how huge of a problem that's been here. More than unemployment or the housing crisis, certainly.
An end to collective bargaining by public school teachers. Even more embarrassing: That the Memphis Education Association cozied up to union-busting Republicans trying to thwart the consolidation of the city and county schools. The enemy of my enemy, indeed.
An attempt to shift in the distribution of Title X federal family funding, so it could only go to county health departments.
Planned Parenthood of Greater Memphis could have lost $750,000 in federal funding used to provide contraception and health care for needy women -- mostly because the GOP is too dense to understand that this money has never and never will be used to provide abortions.
They are also too obtuse to understand that the elimination of such reproductive services could result in more unwanted pregnancies, some of which might end in abortion. Shortsighted, much?
Due to a wording snafu in the budget, funding was never lost -- but look for Republicans to close the loophole in the next session.
Adoption by the Senate of what's been derisively labeled the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which would keep teachers from mentioning homosexuality to elementary or middle-schoolers, in any context.
In an amazing oversight, the legislation does not specify what educators can say about Memphis Grizzlies' forward Rudy Gay.
Because of some of this legislation, there's been talk of a tourism boycott of Tennessee.
When you seek and cannot find the compassionate side of conservatives, you must go after what's near and dear to their hearts: dollars.
Speaking of dollars, you'd think that filthy-rich businessman-turned- politician Gov. Bill Haslam would be sensitive to the threat of a tourism boycott. He can't be glad to see how many companies have said that the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce supported the new intrastate commerce law without their consent.
Unfortunately, Haslam is smart but too weak to display any sort of independence, even though he could easily couch it in fiscal terms.
Is Haslam smart enough to stay away from the crack pipe that has trapped so many of his party?
Let's keep him away from lighters, just to be sure.

Schwarzenegger Endorses Clean Water, Parks and Coastal Protection Bond
The Proposition 84 campaign announced that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has endorsed the Clean Water, Parks and Coastal Protection Bond of 2006.
The $5.4 billion bond measure, slated for the November 2006 California statewide ballot, would provide funds to ensure the availability of safe drinking water, improve local water supply reliability, strengthen flood protection, and preserve California's natural landscapes, including parks, lakes, rivers, beaches, bays, ocean and coastline.
"This initiative ensures that the environment remains a key component of California's Strategic Growth Plan. Proposition 84 will help preserve California's incredible coastline and natural resources for generations to come. This measure also provides essential funding to help ensure our water supply is clean, reliable, and safe and will help protect our communities from flooding. I look forward to working with environmental and legislative leaders to build on this initiative to expand California's water supply infrastructure. In the meantime, I ask the people of California to join me in supporting this important investment in the future of our great state," said Governor Schwarzenegger.
"We are extremely pleased to have the Governor's support for Proposition 84," said Michael Mantell, campaign chairman for Proposition 84. "Not only will Proposition 84 generate significant benefits at the statewide level, it provides an unprecedented and much needed funding opportunity for local regions throughout all of California."

We came to Gator Park to see the Gator show. It was convenient to stay here, as Gator Park was located halfway between our two stops. We stayed for a night and while the campground is not luxurious, we did not have any issues. There was no laundry room or central bathrooms. Our spot, #20, only had electric and water but we did see some sites with sewer. After the park closed at 5:00 PM, the area calmed down considerably and overnight we were not disturbed. I think $30 a night for what is offered is a bit high. $25 would be more appropriate. Would I recommend this park? For a single night. Would we come back? Not likely. We will explore another campground next time. - Dr. Moreau
Apr 2012 - $30.00
First, let me say the area is beautiful. Just a few miles west are some great air boat rides and Shark Valley is the place to go to see abundant wildlife. However, this RV park is by far the worst I have ever seen. The staff was rude and indifferent. The road was in poor condition and the grass at the campsites was tall. The water constantly looked and smelled rusty. It was so bad it even stained our shower and commode. Some full time residents were dumping waste water on the ground and a strong odor emanated from that. The power was unreliable as well. As we were leaving we discovered there was no water available at the dump station to clean our hose or the area. If you must stay here be sure to bring your own water and don't even try to bathe in that stuff. If you can at all, skip this place entirely. I sure do wish we had. - User2063
Jan 2011 - $18.00
Terrible! Stayed because we took the gator tour and airboat ride (which were very good). Park itself was horrible: dirty, rusty water, too rough with mainly full time tenants. Not comfortable. Full timers had run of things and did not leash pets. Not returning. - Motorhome Madness

Miami-Dade County Park. Very quiet, well kept/neat & pleasant park w/a pleasant staff. Older park so the sites are short and don't have patios (except handicap sites). I had to "overhang" our 39' 5er off the rear of the pad & still had to park the truck sideways in front. Nice pool (11-5 only) w/lifeguard. No cable but free WiFi. Heavy traffic once outside the park. Adjacent to the Miami Zoo. Abundant/variety of shopping is close. Great place to start for day trips to the Keys (45 min. to Key Largo) if you don't want to stay in the expensive resorts on the keys. We stayed a month for $565 including taxes. - rracer5
Apr 2015 - $18.00
This was our second time to stay here and we will be returning next year. It is great camping area in a county park next to the zoo. The sites are large in a circle formation, so you get good views of the trees and grass and not your neighbor. There is a nice pool, clean showers and restrooms, and adequate laundry facilities. The free wifi is supplied by the county and they block Netflix, but in general we got good reception. - A-J
Dec 2014 - $19.00
WiFi is provided by the county of Miami-Dade and worked extremely well for me. It worked as reliably as my Verizon MiFi LTE, which was also strong here. I have a regular TV antennae and I could get most channels except for NBC for some reason. The bathhouses were clean, but 2 out of 4 of the women's shower stalls were out of order the whole time I was there. The water pressure was pretty dismal, actually worse than my RV. It was also cold, but when I informed the office about the temperature, it was fixed immediately. - Sara C.

Park is in the middle of nowhere, at least 15 minutes on country roads to anything. Sites are grass and ours was not level and became a lake during the rain. Lots of biting bugs. Office staff not friendly. Weird layout with 8 roads into the sites and one to exit, all one lane. There is a large play ground that includes a tennis court but it is not fenced so never saw anyone playing. - kegmaster
Mar 2015 - $64.00
A very nice park. Very friendly staff. Had a great site, 255. Lots of shade and right across from a big field plus the playground. Great for the kids. Only complaint is no golf carts allowed. I don't understand this rule if your cart is insured. Good water pressure, good sewer, good cable, good electric but wifi was a joke. Signal was very poor. Overall a nice experience. We will be back. - AlexJ
Mar 2015 - $66.00
From the looks of it, this appears to be a former KOA. It does not matter because arriving in this campground and seeing the grounds was a pleasant surprise. This is quite a large RV park and most of the sites are generous in size. We stayed here for several days in a 45ft motorhome on a site with 50A service. Finding this park is easy. Just follow the directions. The park is easy to enter and the interior paved roads are wide enough to move around and get onto your site.
One very unique feature found in this park is a walking / running / biking loop which goes along the entire perimeter of the campground. The total distance is almost 1 mile.
The official address for the park is in Miami and it is bordering on to Homestead. Miami is a huge city. Getting into town from the campground takes about 30 minutes. There is tons of stuff to do there and this RV park is a very good base to stay at if you wish to explore Miami.
Nearby are 2 Walmarts, a Publix grocery store as well as a Walgreen and CVS.
This is a RV park we will gladly visit again in the future. - Olivia Las Vegas

Returning Service Members"
10:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Thursday, Aug. 7
Room 103, Hynes Convention Center
The American Bar Association has maintained a long-standing commitment to assist with the legal needs of service members, which include securing medical care, disability benefits, reemployment, consumer needs, housing, criminal justice issues and family law matters.
At the ABA Annual Meeting in Boston, the Section of Labor and Employment Law will host a session called "Legal Challenges for Returning Service Members," from 10:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., Thursday, Aug. 7 in Room 103 at the Hynes Center. The seminar, moderated by George R. Wood of Littler Mendelson P.C., in Minneapolis, will look at issues such as laws that protect service members and their families, and the rights and obligations of those who interact with veterans (employers, creditors, etc.).
The speakers on the panel are Kenneth R. Harrison, Sr. of Sugarman & Susskind, PA, in Miami; David M. Jaffe of CVS Caremark in Woonsocket, R.I.; William "Kenan" Torrans of the Department of Labor in Washington, D.C.; and Captain Samuel F. Wright of the Service Members Law Center in Washington, D.C.
The association has created a host of programs, projects, initiatives and services to aid veterans. The ABA Military Pro Bono Project and ABA Home Front provide legal resources for military families. The ABA Coordinating Committee on Veterans Benefits and Services pulls together all of the resources mentioned plus additional military-related activities throughout the ABA. In coordination with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the ABA has launched the Veterans' Claims Assistance Network to provide unrepresented veterans with pending disability benefits claims the opportunity to work with lawyers at no cost. The lawyers will help veterans complete their claims packages for expedited review by Veterans Affairs.
ABA continues to look for ways to assist veterans with their legal needs. According to government studies, four of the top unmet needs of homeless veterans involve legal assistance for: eviction/foreclosure prevention, child support issues, outstanding warrants/fines and restoring a driver's license. Other top unmet needs often have a legal component: family reconciliation assistance, credit counseling and government benefits.

I'm guessing it's determining what guys show up from wifi networks, but I just have the one in my house, and don't take my 3DS out anywhere I might be in range of any other networks. So do I just have to pass on this one or something?
If I don't take my 3DS out with me, can I not really play this?

Mississippi State head coach Rick Ray has really lacked a leader in his first two seasons in Starkville.
No one really grabbed the role last season and this season there have been some who look like they could but never did.
The only exception to that notion is I.J. Ready.
The true freshman point guard was recruited because of his leadership abilities and it's evident when you speak with him.
"I just think that I.J. has some natural leadership qualities," Ray said. "The most important thing is he just wants to win.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- When NASCAR looks around and plots how it can market its growing sport next, it doesn't focus on the stereotypical white male with his Chevy in the driveway and can of Skoal in his jean pocket.
Instead it looks to market research that says women and ethnic minorities are increasingly curious about stock car racing, yet under-represented at the racetrack. It takes note that they are, more glaringly, virtually absent in the pits and behind the wheel.
At Daytona International Speedway, at the birthplace of stock car racing and NASCAR's crown jewel event, one driver out of 142 entered in the Nextel Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck series races is black. Two are women. None are Hispanic.
NASCAR claims that more than 40 percent of its fans are women and nearly 10 percent are black. But walk through the infield and mingle with fans during what is known as "Speedweeks," and it's easy to count the number of fans who are minorities.
"NASCAR does not endorse politics. NASCAR endorses diversity," NASCAR chairman Brian France said in pledging to change those numbers.
France has made diversity a top priority for a series well-known for its roots in the South.
Sam Belnavis knows all about this. A year ago, Belnavis became a pioneer in the sport as the first black co-owner of a Cup car. Today, he's Roush Racing's diversity director, a post that doesn't exist within any other Cup team.
"I'm the first, again," Belnavis said with a chuckle. "It's an intense challenge to get into the door. I got into the door last year and we were respectable, and now this year I got into a bigger door."
Jack Roush is one of the most powerful men in the sport, and Matt Kenseth gave the Roush team its first Cup championship with his dominant '03 season in the No. 17 Ford.
Belnavis said Roush, whose driver Greg Biffle will start from the pole in Sunday's Daytona 500, is interested in becoming the first owner to run a black driver in the Nextel Cup series.
"He talks to me about that, and that's why I'm here," Belnavis said. "Ultimately, we will have a driver in the Cup series."
Belnavis said he has more than 100 resumes on his desk from minority drivers looking to get into the sport. Some he's heard of before, some are complete unknowns.
While chatting in the infield Thursday morning at Daytona, Belnavis was approached by Mike Vazquez of Miami-based marketing group VMG Inc.
Vazquez had a packet of material illustrating the racing successes and sponsor value generated by driver Carlos Contreras, one of the first Hispanic drivers in NASCAR, but one who currently is searching for a ride.
Belnavis listened to the pitch, took the packet of material and business card. He'd be in touch, he told Vazquez, but indicated nothing is likely for this year.
"A lot of people come to me hoping for something," Belnavis said.
Contreras used to run in a Craftsman Truck Series entry owned by the Pettys, who have since gotten out of the Truck series.
But Kyle Petty, son of seven-time NASCAR champion Richard Petty, dreams of a day when drivers like Contreras won't be scouring the garages at Daytona hoping for a ride.
"I don't think drivers ever talk about this, but it's hard to integrate, I'll give you that," said Kyle Petty, driver of the No. 45 Dodge that runs in Nextel Cup. "Those roadblocks aren't put there on purpose -- they're inherent to the sport. Nobody's putting up obstacles to keep women, blacks or Hispanics out.
"It's just not a sport that presents itself to minorities on a daily basis like basketball, football and baseball. We're just now becoming a mainstream sport. We have to be aware of that and try to tear down those barriers as quickly as possible. But it's tough to tear down stuff that's been around 40 or 50 years."
Sitting outside their Winnebago in Daytona's increasingly crowded infield, Mark C. Williamson and Anthony Williams stretched and looked around. The two men, who are black and in their mid-30s, had driven 19 hours from Washington, D.C., to see their first Daytona 500 in person.
Williamson is a long-time racing fan and knows his NASCAR history; Williams admitted he knows nothing about the sport but tagged along, with two other coworkers, "to have some fun."
Adorning Williamson's head was a stylish No. 8 cap, identifying the burly carpet-layer as a fan of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Asked if he was bothered by the fact that no Cup drivers are black, Williamson shook his head from side to side. "A car is a car, a driver is a driver," he said. "The sport is what it is. If a black driver comes along and makes it and deserves to make it, that would be interesting to me. But I'm a fan either way."
Williamson's father grew up in the South and watched stock-car racing and drag racing, which rubbed off on his son. "He was always watching races on TV," Williamson said. "That's how I got into it."
When told of this, Belnavis nodded his head and smiled.
"If you look at the birthplace of NASCAR, the Southeast, which I consider the core of NASCAR, and you look at the African-American population, two-thirds of the African-American population resides in the Southeast," Belnavis said. "So you cannot live in Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Birmingham, without knowing about NASCAR. There are thousands of what I call closet African-American fans.
"There are thousands of folks who believe that flying the Confederate flag and things like that makes it not open to them," he said. "In reality, it's more open as a sport now than it's ever been. But the confederate flag defines a culture. It's a culture that exists now and will probably exist forever in my lifetime. It's becoming somewhat minimal, that culture, but it's still there.
"I'm not going to let that bother me, but it will keep some people from coming to the race."
For its part, NASCAR is doing everything it can to separate itself from any controversy. The bright yellow Nextel Cup banners are a far cry from the red Winston imagery seen at tracks in the past.
Brian France is responsible for opening NASCAR offices in Los Angeles, New York and Charlotte, extending the sport's reach into key inner-city markets. A diversity department was formed in 2000.
France said Canada, Mexico and other parts of the world are on the organization's radar. "We're going to pay attention to places where fans are for NASCAR like never before," France said. "We're going to be out there."
Ultimately, change has to start from the ground up, Belnavis said, from fans to drivers to teams to sponsors to NASCAR itself. Sponsors are aware of the untapped minority market, he said, but looking around Daytona reveals one of the whitest worlds in any major professional sport.
"That's absolutely true," Belnavis acknowledged. "There's some progress being made, we have some programs and initiatives in place, but we need to push harder. A lot more can be done. But understand, it's not going to happen overnight."

Sometimes this job hurts.
I've written plenty — editors would say "too many" — dish-my-own-dirt columns, laying out all kinds of intimate details, but this piece is painful. And I'm not sure why I feel compelled to share it out loud, but staying accountable to readers has worked out pretty well for 17 years now.
Here's the deal. You'll recall I had that acute episode of stress last May, from a crisis generated by a teen at our house, missing most of his or her frontal lobe. Of course I wrote about the fallout.
Author's note: If you leave a snarky message on my phone, I'm still not going to identify the kid or the issue, so knock it off. You know who you are, and you need a time out.
That column wasn't really about the incident. It was about two very in-love adults learning to navigate churning white water in a brand new raft headed for a waterfall. It took some doing — still does — and every day we're grateful and happy to be a life preserver for each other.
But this column is not about mushy stuff, unless we're talking about my belly.
Let's dial this back to, say, August. You know (and you ladies really know) how you have that nightmare you gained 5 pounds overnight? For me, it wasn't a dream and it wasn't 5 pounds.
One day I was me, and the next morning I was me plus 10 pounds. A week later (I promise this is true) there was another 10 pounds tacked on, like some ghastly two-for-one sale.
By October my weight had shot up 30 pounds. But that wasn't the worst — that title went to the weirdness wrapped around my waist where my stomach had once lived.
Suddenly there was a glop of marshmallow cream under my skin. Jell-O under my shirt. A bizarre pillow of wiggly jelly rivaling St. Nick's. I could only watch in horror, it happened so quickly.
I grew desperate for it to stop, examining every moment of my days. Exercise? At least half a check. Nutrition? Eating what I always ate. Horrible disease? Health reporters live on the edge of hypochondria, but even I couldn't see any real signs of impending illness.
"Stress." That's what my lady-parts doctor said when I laid my woes at her feet. "That cortisol stuff is real."
In my that-can-never-happen-to-me ignorance, I once believed that stress and the "hormonal imbalance" chatter was code for laziness and a refusal to take responsibility for one's health.
Hoo-boy. I don't think that anymore. Even if I did eat Chex Mix on Super Bowl Sunday.
Seems cortisol — always present in your body — gets super powers when you're in "fight or flight" mode. From its base in the adrenal gland, nature's hydrocortisone has extra work to do in those situations, including giving you energy to survive whatever the crisis is. It helps your brain remember what you're supposed to be doing, boosts your immune system and lowers your sensitivity to pain.
All good, yes? Unless you can't move out of that high-stress zone, day after day. Then the once-heroic hormone hangs out in your body and just gets mean.
It screws with bone density and blood sugar levels, lowers muscle tone, raises blood pressure, weakens the immune system and the body's power to fight inflammation.
And then — and then — cortisol turns vicious. It increases your abdominal fat, and that's linked to super-duper health issues like heart attack, stroke, metabolic syndrome and higher levels of the icky kind of cholesterol.
Basically, the opposite of Christmas for your belly.
I'm here to tell you, it also leads to your clothes fitting one day and not the next. It causes shrinking away from hugs and thinking your gut might need its own Zip code.
Oh yes, unemployed cortisol also causes your body to shoot any and all sugar right into the squishy mess of a tummy, because your body, all whacked on stress, thinks you need extra fat to survive.
And lordy, you eat. People in the know assure me this is based on science. It's not just in the movies where the girl dumped at the altar self-soothes with a gallon of ice cream.
I spent a few months living with this new version of me while having quite the pity party, at which I had only the occasional guest. Such as my husband, who wasn't certain what to do with the stranger in the house. One day I'd be eating carbs and the next begging him to never, ever bring food home again. Any food at all.
In the last few weeks, however, the real me has started waking up in my bed. It's time, I thought, to reclaim my health. Time to get past being a victim and on to being victorious.
I did what I always do, once I could look myself in the eye again: I started surveying my ammo. I imagined coming face-to-face with my YMCA trainer who helped me build core strength. Leslie is not one to mince words and I don't like thinking about the ones she might have for me. So I pulled out my exercise sheets, channeled Leslie and set to work each morning and evening.
Then I called Maria, who helped me in my diabetes education series a few years ago. Maria was sympathetic, but laid things out plainly. I would have to kick extra carbs to the curb again, limit portion sizes, stuff in the greens and limit my torrid affair with bacon.
One more thing: People often find solace from stress with repetitive motion. Such as hand to mouth, hand to mouth, she said. "But they don't do it with celery sticks. It's why smoking is so attractive."
At least I've dodged that bullet.
The biggest job is finding ways to get rid of the extra cortisol living in my body and acting nasty. This means getting serious about stress relief. As in, taking care of myself. I told you this job hurts.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 1/20/13
This is how it was supposed to be. Canadian national hero Steve Nash returns to his native country in the twilight of his career, chasing the dreams of a championship that has eluded him for sixteen years. Welcomed warmly by his fellow countrymen, he would be the toast of the provinces. Sunday that's exactly what will take place at the Air Canada Centre. However, there's something wrong with this picture: He was supposed to be a Toronto Raptor. Instead, the point guard returns to his home country in the purple and gold of the Lakers. He'll still be treated as a conquering hero, but it won't be quite the same. During the summer, it seemed like a done deal; Nash taking 36 million for the next three years to try and revive pro basketball in Toronto, then possibly move into the Raptors' front office. He's already the General Manager of Canada Basketball, and he probably could have added the title of Raptors GM to his executive resume. But after flirting a bit with the New York Knic...

A judge ruled Friday that prosecutors have sufficient probable cause to go forward with a case against four Milwaukee police officers charged with conducting illegal strip and rectal searches of suspects.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner made his decision at the preliminary examination after about three hours of testimony from Milwaukee police Detective Justin Carloni, who recapped testimony that nine victims gave at a secret John Doe proceedings that led to the charges, filed last month.
The complaint lays out in graphic detail how the primary suspect, Officer Michael Vagnini, conducted searches of men's anal and scrotal areas, often inserting his fingers into their rectums. Vagnini acknowledged performing one of the searches. At least one suspect said Vagnini planted drugs on him.
State law and police procedures prohibit officers from conducting body cavity searches. Only medical personnel are allowed to perform them, and police must first obtain a search warrant.
Attorneys for the other defendants argued Friday that the complaint should be dismissed because what their clients are accused of doing - sometimes just being present at searches - doesn't rise to the threshold of party-to-a-crime liability.
District Attorney John Chisholm responded that the specific statute under which the officers are charged makes their mere presence, on duty, an action because it reasserted to the victims that they were not free to leave and had to comply with the searches.
Wagner denied the motions to dismiss the complaint.
The four defendants - Vagnini, Jeffrey Dollhopf, Brian Kozelek and Jacob Knight - are set for arraignment Nov. 15.
Vagnini faces 25 counts and is the only officer charged with sexual assault. Dollhopf faces two counts of misconduct in public office and one count each of conducting an illegal cavity search and an illegal strip search, both as party to a crime. Knight and Kozelek are each charged with a single count of misconduct in public office. In addition, Knight is charged with being a party to the crime of an illegal cavity search, and Kozelek with being a party to the crime of an illegal strip search.
All have been suspended with pay.
During cross-examination of Carloni, defense attorneys questioned identifications of their clients by witnesses who were never shown photo arrays or asked to pick out the officers from lineups. They pointed out that the complaint puts some defendants at some incidents based primarily on police records that might not account for an officer being reassigned or attending a different matter at the last minute.
An attorney for some of the victims cited in the criminal complaint attended Friday's hearing. Jonathan Safran said his clients were always worried they would not be believed, and will be encouraged that Wagner thought the complaint was credible enough for the case to go forward.
He also applauded that many police officers did testify at the John Doe about what they've witnessed, which corroborated many victims' statements. More than 30 members of the Police Department testified during the John Doe, which took place over several months earlier this year.
But Safran said there are many more victims and many more officers who conducted improper searches, or did not report knowledge of such conduct, and that he hopes to see more charges.
