Carlos Peralta finishes 11th in Sunday's NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series race at the Autódromo del Ecocentro de la Unión Ganadera in Querétaro, Mexico.
John Wes Townley (No. 05 Zaxby's Chevrolet Silverado) won the Rhino Linings 350, his first victory in 87 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) races.
After the Drive Sober 125 presented by the Delaware Office of Highway Safety was postponed Friday due to inclement weather, and the start was delayed again Saturday morning, William Byron was finally able to drive his No. 9 Liberty University Chevrolet to a ninth-place finish and raise the 2015 NASCAR K&N Pro Series East championship trophy Saturday afternoon at Dover International Speedway.
Collin Cabre scored his first career victory in Saturday's NASCAR K&N Pro Series season finale at Dover International Speedway.
Regan Smith (No. 7 Fire Alarm Services Chevrolet Camaro) won the Hisense 200, his sixth victory in 197 NASCAR XFINITY Series races.
On the heels of two-weeks of controversial calls regarding restarts, NASCAR has announced that the restart zone has been doubled from 70 to 140 feet.
Kevin Harvick posted the fastest speed in a shortened final practice at Dover International Speedway for the AAA 400. His top speed was 156.033 mph.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. posted the second-quickest speed in Saturday morning's practice for the AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway. His top speed was 157.670 mph that was recorded during his second to 11th laps on track.
Carl Edwards posted the fastest single lap among the current Chase contenders. His top speed was 160.442 mph, which put him second on the speed chart.
The Cup drivers got a few minutes of practice in on Saturday morning and after about 25 minutes, Kasey Kahne sat atop the leaderboard with a fastest lap of 160.506 mph. Kahne also posted the quickest 10-lap average with a 158.755 mph run from laps seven through 16.
Kurt Busch sits seventh in the standings with a 17-point cushion over 13th—which happens to be occupied by his brother Kyle. If recent Dover International Speedway races are an indication, he will need all of them.
In the past two years, Tony Stewart has missed races late in the season because of sprint car accidents and that has stalled his momentum. One of his accidents occurred in 2013 and caused him to miss the fall Dover International Speedway event, but the last time he was there before that, he scored his third win on this track.

Not wishing to take anything away from the performance of
Henrik Lundqvist in game 7 against the Pittsburgh Penguins; but I want to give
my star of the day to the New York Ranger's coach Alain Vigneault. Vigneault
was like watching a grand chess master in action the way he outcoached and
outsmarted Pittsburgh's Dan Bylsma not just in game 7 but in games 5 and 6.
Anything Bylsma tried to get his team going was countered
swiftly and decisively by the Ranger's coach. From playing cheerleader and
supportive parent in the emotional return of Marty St. Louis in game 5 to
mixing and matching his lines in game 6 to the magnificent chess match in game
Alain Vigneault showed that he had learned from the coaching
mistakes of the past which cost him jobs in Montreal and Vancouver. He blended
his own open ice attack to the Ranger's Tom Renney/John Tortorella shot
blocking defense but Vigneault improved on that defense as well.
There wasn't no dependency on shot blocking, it was
important yes but at the same time using 4 lines one right after another kept
his players from being burnt out despite being the only team forced to play
back to back games in 2 straight series. In game 7 no Ranger forward played more than the 17:44 played by Mats Zuccarello
but it sure seemed as if Dom Moore and Brian Boyle never left the ice. When
Bylsma tried to shift players around to get better matchups; there was
Vigneault countering each and every move.
In the 3rd period when Pittsburgh was trying to
throw everything at the Rangers; there was the calmness of the Ranger coach.
And that calmness was responded to by the Ranger players as you never really
saw any kind of panic no matter what the situation.
The Rangers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in a playoff series
for the first time ever, they defeated them in a game 7 on their ice and they
did it by coming back from down 1-3 in the series. It was an effort that no other
Ranger's coach had ever done and let's hope they don't have to do this again.
Now we find out how much of a genius Alain Vigneault truly
is as the Rangers now attempt what will appear to be an almost impossible task.
Get past either Montreal or Boston to play for the Stanley Cup something the
Rangers have not done since 1994.
Don't bet against Vigneault taking this team to the cup
finals and winning it all. More than
anything that Vigneault has done is that he has Ranger fans believing they can
win it all and that alone is something else.

Superintendent George Park
The charges that were filed against suspended Carbon County School District Superintendent George Park this fall in Panguitch are in the process of being dropped, according Jerry D. Jaeger, the special prosecutor looking into the allegations against the former Garfield County school leader.
"After interviewing Mr. Park we were able to get more information about the case," said Jaeger in a telephone interview from his office in St. George on Monday morning. "The charges against him are being dropped. However he is a witness in the other case that is pending."
That testimony that is being required of Park is in connection with the case against former Garfield County School District business manager Justin Baugh, whom Park was supervising while he was superintendent of the district in 2008.
Baugh, 38, was arrested by Garfield County Sheriff deputies in West Jordan in May for alleged wrong-doing in the district. At the time Baugh was charged with three felony counts of misuse of public money, communications fraud, and tampering with a witness. Misuse of public money and communications fraud are second degree felonies and tampering with a witness is a third degree felony. The tampering charge came from allegations that Baugh had directed Garfield employees to shred some evidence that could shed light on the case. By the time he was arrested, Baugh had accepted and was working in the Canyon School District in Salt Lake County in another administrative job.
Park, who took over the reins of running Carbon School District from Patsy Bueno in May of this year, was arrested on Aug. 6 as he returned to the Carbon District office from a meeting at the district bus garage.
At the time Park was arrested on a warrant out of the Sixth District Court in Garfield County that was issued on Aug. 5. The warrant alleged that Park misused public monies while superintendent of the Garfield County School District, the district he worked for for four years before being hired at Carbon. The charges on the warrant were considered second degree felonies.
During a special board meeting that afternoon, the Carbon School Board put him on administrative leave until the matter was resolved. Initially they set up a panel of people to temporarily run the operations fo the district, but within a week the just recently retired superintendent, Patsy Bueno, was asked and agreed to be a termporary replacement for Park.
Park's paid administrative leave status was changed on Oct. 1 to non-paid administrative leave by the board.
An initial hearing for Park in early September was delayed and set back. Then the county attorney's office in Panguitch turned the prosecution of the case over to the Washington County Attorney's office. It was at that time Jaeger was named the special prosecutor in the case.
During the ensuing time Park's attorney, Fred Metos of Salt Lake had been working with the Washington County Attorney's office. On Sept. 30 Park and Fred Metos, Park's lawyer, were present at the intial appearance with Judge Marvin D. Bagley, Jaeger and other officials to discuss the case. During that meeting the defendant brought forth a number of pieces of evidence from discovery that convinced Jaeger that the charges should be dropped. Why those charges were not dropped immediatelly has not been ascertained but on Thursday of last week Metos got an email from Jaeger that stated that the case was being dismissed "without prejudice (and) with the understanding that George continues to cooperate with us."
The charges against Park revolved around supposed irregularities concerning three areas of concern.
*One was a dispute over his compensation concerning contributions to his 401K by Garfield School District (which the charges stating that he gave himself a higher contribution to the fund than had been approved by the Garfield County School Board).
*Two, were charges that he paid bonuses to himself and "took a raise contrary to his previous agreement that no raise would be given in lieu of a 401K increase."
*Three, that Park had signed a fraudulent contract for Baugh "and by doing so he intentionally aided Baugh in the misuse of public funds."
Board shuts recorder
Park met with the Sun Advocate on Monday morning and explained the situation concerning these charges. First, when interviewed the board members who were present at the executive session where his 401K payment was discussed, when questioned by authorities, could not remember how much they had actually approved. He said that one thought it was five percent, while another thought it was 15 percent. The board president at the time, in a deposition said he couldn't be sure, but thought it was 10 percent. After reviewing tapes of the meeting, it was found that someone in the room had shut the tape recorder that was documenting the meeting off during the discussion concerning the 401K discussion. The shutting off of the recorder, in fact, was actually discussed by the board before it was done.
Law misunderstood
The charges concerning the bonus situation came from a misunderstanding concerning House Bill 382 that the legislature approved in 2007. In that bill the legislature provided money for certified employees to keep them from going out of state to take more lucrative jobs. The increase was meant only for teachers and not for district administrators, but because Park's contract was set up so any increases the teachers got he received as well, he was paid the money. Baugh was the one that paid it out so it appeared that Park was involved with Baugh's actions.
"I didn't even know I was getting it until I had the check in my hands," said Park.
Finally was Baugh's alleged fraudulent contract, which is one of the things Baugh is being prosecuted for. Park signed the contract along with the board president in good faith.
Contract altered
"I met with Jason about what he wanted in his contract and he mentioned many things that I knew the board would not approve," said Park who explained that superintendents and business managers around the state have what is considered to be a special relationship with boards, in that they negotiate their own contracts. "I told him that some of what he was asking for just would not fly. So the contract that went to the board was the one we had agreed upon. I never signed the one that came out with all the enhancements in it."
When the contract was reviewed by auditors in 2008, it included many of the things that Baugh had wanted and it appeared it had been signed by the two officials. The contract looks official, but the last page (which is the only one that has signatures on it) contains only a single paragraph and the signature lines. The changes had allegedly been made in the prior pages, presumably by Baugh.
What will happen now concerning Park's employment with Carbon School District is still up in the air, however. The state school boards UPPAC (Utah Professional Practice Advisory Commission) still needs to complete its investigation into the situation, according to sources at the UPPAC office in Salt Lake. Jean Hill, the investigator for UPPAC was not available for comment on Monday.

My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World
by Garlin, Jeff
791.45028 Garlin GAR
I had no idea who Jeff Garlin was when I picked up this book (turns out he's a producer and actor on Curb Your Enthusiasm), but the blurb on the back cover reeled me in: "Let me explain my eating disorder to give you an idea what I'm up against. You can put me in a room. And in that room you have the best pot in the world, the best coke in the world, the greatest glass of wine of all time, and a two-day-old grocery store sheet cake. Guess where I'm going? Half of it could be covered in ants, and I'd eat the other half." Garlin has tried it all and it all works—until it doesn't. He chronicles his experiences during the 7th season of filming the show, his efforts to reduce his carbon footprint (Ed Begley is his environmental idol), and reduce his waistline. Mostly funny, sometimes sad, this book was so engaging that I left my latest thriller idling on the shelf while I read about Garlin's trials and tribulations.

The Sheltering Sky
by Bowles, Paul
At the beginning of The Sheltering Sky, a married couple, Port and Kit Moresby, and their friend Tunner arrive in North Africa shortly after the end of World War II. As New Yorkers in an unfamiliar land, the Moresbys seek adventure together, but more importantly they hope to strengthen their troubled marriage. However, soon after arriving, it becomes apparent that their self-interest, the inclusion of the handsome Tunner on the journey, and the stress of life in a strange land will likely prevent them from achieving their goal.
As in most travel novels, the main characters encounter a host of odd and interesting personalities, but as the trio moves deeper into the Sahara, you begin to see that this novel is not so much about a group experience, but about the individual feelings of loneliness, despair, and dread that can impact a person's existence. As the story progresses, we find that this is ultimately Kit's tale and that the feelings of impending doom she has throughout the novel will materialize in ways that neither she, nor the reader, could have ever imagined.

Carly's Voice: Breaking through Autism
by Fleischmann, Arthur & Carly
Carly Fleischmann was diagnosed very young with autism and went for years being wild and out of control, without speaking, although there was often a gleam of intelligence that popped through between wild episodes. Her parents devoted their lives and resources to getting her good teachers and caregivers; but things still looked hopeless until at age 10, she realized she knew enough words to type on a laptop. Her first typing was, "HELP TEETH HURT." Over the next several years, she learned to express herself and slowly was able to get her caretakers, parents, and autism specialists to understand what she was going through and had been going through all of her life. She eventually appeared on television shows as an advocate for children with autism. She is now a high school student in gifted classes and a constant internet presence, answering questions about her condition. She still cannot speak, but she has found her "voice" through writing.
This is an incredibly moving and valuable book. I would think this is essential reading for any parents of autistic children, anyone who works with autistic children, and anyone just trying to understand the variability of the human mind.

Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors
by Delingpole, James
Environmentalism has become so much a part of our lives that most of us give it no more thought than fish do about water. But what if the whole "global warming" movement were a scam, a sort of mass hysteria designed and promoted for the purpose of taking power?
According to James Delingpole, author of Watermelons: The Green Movement's True Colors, that is exactly what it is. "Watermelons" are people who are "green" on the outside, "red" on the inside—they may claim they want to "save the planet," but in reality they want to dominate it. Environmental organizations such as The World Wildlife Foundation and Greenpeace are not, as they purport to be, tiny helpless organizations fighting against corporate greed. They themselves are massive, greedy corporations that amass billions of dollars. To further their goal of assuming world power, these eco-communists utilize junk science, character assassination, and lying. Delingpole warns, "taxes will be raised, your liberties curtailed and your money squandered to deal with this 'crisis.'"

Daniel McEvoy is an Irish bouncer at a seedy casino in New Jersey. He's not crazy about his job, hates his boss, and really hates the new hair plugs that are driving him crazy. And all of that was before his favorite hostess, Connie, is killed in the parking lot. McEvoy is sure he knows who the killer was, since a recent customer hadn't been pleased that Connie had rejected his overtures. But really, overtures involving barbecue sauce? Who could blame her? As he investigates, McEvoy is pulled deeper into the underbelly of New Jersey crime. He's plagued by real-life arguments with his lovely but certifiable upstairs neighbor Mrs. Delano, and the constant nattering of his sketchy doctor friend, Ghost Zeb (conversations that take place in McEvoy's head, but annoying nonetheless). It's too late to save Connie, but McEvoy refuses to give up on rescuing his friend Zeb. Colfer has created a world that is sometimes gritty and sad, but often laugh out loud funny.

A lot has changed since I last had something newsworthy to jaw about, but don't let that stop you from reading this hackneyed hogwash dear friends! From the economy to the White House to the halls of Montezuma's revenge, the times they are a-changin' (if I may quote the famous American singer-songwriter Burl Icle Ivanhoe Ives, and I think I just did). About the only thing that HASN'T changed is my underpants and my rather discerning, highbrow and incredibly enlightened brand of grade school humor. Why just last week I turned down a six-figure offer (and all the bubblegum I could chew in one sitting) to pen a script for the upcoming Bazooka Joe biopic, because I simply refused to pander or lower my comedic standards to those sorbitol coated, gum based, and just plain tasteless Pud jokes. What's that? Pud worked for Double Bubble? MORT was the special-needs kid with the tragically over-sized turtleneck? Why do I always get those two humorless gum-hawking halfwits confused and how did Bazooka Joe lose his eye in the first place (the dreaded bubble gum mafia I bet!)?!? Quick, get me Michael Eisner on the horn, stat! According to the fortune on the bottom of this here comic, there just may be enough time to write this wrong (idea for a full-length motion picture) yet!
Since you're sitting there so quiet, not holding up your end of the conversation per usual, I'll just keep rattling on if you don't mind. In other "me" related news, I recently relocated to Portland, Oregon last year and boy are my arms tired (see what I was telling you about my rapier wit? Practically ALL my bones are funny). From what I've seen of the place, it's coming around rather nicely. I like what they've done with all the trees and mountains and I hear they're planning on adding some water features within the next few years. Yep, it feels pretty good getting in on the ground floor like that. Perhaps someday this place will finally be on the map and I'm JUST the fellow to put 'er there! You see, I never back down from a challenge, unless that challenge is the 13th Annual Backing Down Competition and Cowards Run, of which I hold the state title. There has also been a new addition to the Britt family, which of course mad Edsel didn't immediately take to. Seeing how seating is limited and the fact that I couldn't afford to feed another mouth, someone HAD to go. Unfortunately, I drew the shortest straw and I've been living in the backyard ever since (naturally I would've drawn a longer straw, but my crayon broke). From what I can tell (peeping through a loose floorboard), the animals are all getting along rather well now and have even thrown a few parties for their friends and loved ones. Sometimes they let me sleep on the porch when the weather gets really bad and even gave me some table scraps on my birthday. I guess I shouldn't really complain, especially after what I did in their azaleas.
And yet, I still find the time to work every now and then. I know, I know. I'm like a modern-day Mother Teresa, except that I don't have to deal with all those demanding lepers, always looking for a hand out (or nose). In addition to building a spanking and sparkling new website (which I couldn't have done without the tireless efforts of my smart and talented pal Dave), I've also set up an Etsy shop which will soon be crammed with countless (and useless) items specifically designed to separate you from all your hardly-earned monies. In addition to a new store, I've also remodeled and reopened the Fun Center, salvaging it from it's previous state of utter despair and disrepair. Now you'll finally have something to color besides the back of your father's bald head on the long ride home from the Grand Canyon. And you say I never do anything for you ungrateful kids. For shame! However, apart from everything else; the most exciting, gripping, triumphantly-thrill ridingest news of my must see summer is the release of my very first illustrated children's book, which is available NOW! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and if you order yours now, you'll only kiss $11 goodbye! And with the prices of movie ticket's going through the cotton-pickin' roof, that's a bargain we all can live with. If you only buy one book this year (and really, what would you need with two?), it should be this one. I'm just sayin' is all.
S.britt's Jukebox: The Dodos "Time To Die," Dr. Dog "Fate," Grizzly Bear "Veckatimest," Kaizers Orchestra "Våre Demoner," Various Artists "Bollywood Steel Guitar." For me, the best part about music has always been the listening, with hearing coming in a close second.
Recommended Viewing: Lux and Ivy's Favorites. Terrific East Bay Area artist and friend Michael Wertz turned me onto this list several months ago and I've been listenin' whilst doodlin' ever since! What a wonderful lasting tribute to a musician with a great ear for music and very little need of a belt. R.I.P. Lux Interior. Now make God rock.

Volunteer network cites outstanding innovation, impact and leadership in employee volunteer engagement
SAN FRANCISCO (May 6, 2009) – VolunteerMatch has honored Exelon as its Corporate Volunteer Program of the year for the second year in a row for leadership in employee volunteer program management in its annual survey of corporate volunteering in the United States.
The award, announced at the organization's annual client summit, recognizes outstanding achievement and impact within the VolunteerMatch network of leading companies and brands. This year's honors were presented in San Francisco in April, and covered 2008 program activities at more than 110 companies.
Exelon, based in Chicago, was honored for the second year in a row as Corporate Volunteer Program of the Year. Given to the employee volunteer program with the best overall performance, the award considers key impact metrics including program awareness levels among employees, employee involvement rates and hours volunteered. In recognizing Exelon, VolunteerMatch cited the company's successful Energy for the Community program, which incentivizes employee participation and rewards outstanding involvement with grants to the nonprofits served.
"Effective employee volunteer programs need a sustained focus, innovative incentives, and real care for the needs of nonprofits," said Greg Baldwin, president of VolunteerMatch. "Exelon has once again demonstrated what this combination looks like in real life."
"We have our employees to thank for the success of our volunteer program," said Steve Solomon, Exelon's director of corporate relations. "Exelon's volunteer program has grown by 35 percent in the past year because of our employees' enthusiasm for volunteerism and giving back to their communities. That is truly a testament to Exelon's culture and the company's focus on being a responsible corporate citizen."
This is the third year that VolunteerMatch, the Web's largest and most popular volunteer network, has recognized the achievements of key partners within its client community.

Traffic Crash Data
The Traffic Records Management, Reporting and Analysis Division of the Virginia Highway Safety Office (VAHSO) manages the states' highway safety traffic records information system that houses millions of traffic crash records. Data that is collected, stored and analyzed by this Division is used for problem identification and resolution by local, state and federal entities across the Commonwealth.
This data is housed in the Traffic Records Electronic Data System (TREDS). TREDS, the first of its kind in Virginia, is a state-of-the-art traffic crash data system that automates and centralizes crash information from across the state. Its many benefits include the electronic submission of police crash reports, the electronic capture of GPS coordinates for reporting of specific crash locations, and the elimination of separate crash data repositories in multiple formats.
The Traffic Records Management, Reporting and Analysis Division engages in strategic planning to ensure the effective use of its existing Virginia traffic records information system to support and highlight the Commonwealth's safety programs and grant funding initiatives.

BASF extends coatings supply relationship with Nissan in Tennessee

BASF currently supplies Nissan with coating solutions including e-coat, basecoat and clear coat and is also working is Nissan on streamlined technologies in emerging markets such as China.

ALBANY An Adirondack environmental group is challenging New York state snowmobile policy changes in court.
Protect the Adirondacks says new road-like 12-foot-wide community connector trails would require cutting thousands of trees in the Adirondacks, in violation of the state constitutions forever wild clause. The group said the trails also would allow large grooming machines, in violation of state law.
Snowmobilers say that the changes promote economic development and that the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Adirondack Park Agency did thorough reviews before adopting them.
Protect the Adirondacks estimates the connector trail system planned by DEC will result in cutting more than 8,000 trees and clear-cutting almost 50 acres of the forest preserve. The group advocates narrower trails groomed by a drag pulled by a snowmobile.

A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) "cost estimate" of a proposed bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy found that preborn babies who have reached that gestational age are presently aborted at a rate of about 11,000 per year — for an overall savings to the federal Medicaid healthcare system. In its estimation of the federal cost to implement the House-passed Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797), the CBO explained that based on data from the federal Centers for Disease Control, every year "about 11,000 abortions take place 20 weeks or more after fertilization."
CSNews.com crunched the CBO numbers and found that in "a 365-day year, 11,000 late-term abortions works out to a little more than 30 per day — counting weekends and holidays.... If it were assumed that those performing late-term abortions only worked 40 hours a week — or 2,080 hours in a 52-week year (without vacations) — that would mean that an average of about 5.3 unborn babies who have made it to at least the 20th week of pregnancy are aborted each work hour in the United States," or, added the conservative news site, "an average of about 212 per week."
While the CBO report estimates that "only a relatively small number of abortions would be prohibited" with the passage of the H.R. 1797, CSNews noted that in reality, at 11,000 late-term abortions each year, "American abortionists terminate enough late-term babies in just twelve months to populate Congress [with 435 members] more than 20 times over."
As for cost, the CBO predicted that most of the women who would have had the late-term abortions banned under H.R. 1797, would opt for earlier procedures, which would cost the federal Medicaid program additional money. "For example," the report estimated, "if 90 percent of women who would have sought an abortion 20 weeks or more after fertilization instead were to seek earlier abortions, federal spending would rise about $75 million over 10 years."

Utah State Court Surveys
Public Trust and Confidence Survey
A Public Trust and Confidence Survey was conducted to determine public perceptions of the Utah State Courts. OpinionWorks surveyed 800 Utah households in July and August, 2012, and asked Utahns questions about the public's perception, familiarity, experience, confidence, expectations, and performance of the state courts. The results were compared to a survey conducted in 2006 to gauge changes in the public perception of the court system.
Self-Represented Parties Survey
- 2006 Survey of Self-Represented Parties in the Utah State Courts - PDF
Access and Fairness Survey
A fair decision under the law is the cornerstone of the Utah courts. Fairness is just a word if the people cannot access their courts. The Judicial Council remains committed to achieving both access and fairness, and measuring progress towards those goals through the opinions of the people who use the courts.
The Access and Fairness Survey is conducted annually in each district courthouse in the state for one full court day. All court "customers" are asked to take the survey as they leave the courthouse. A customer includes attorneys, litigants and their families and friends, witnesses, victims, social service agency staff, jurors, paralegals and other law office staff, and law enforcement. Not included in the customer category are court staff, court security officers and anyone else who works for the court or in the courthouse.

Life Cycle of Stars
What happens to a star when it dies? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you all the secrets of the stars--how they form, how long they live, and what happens when they die. In particular, you'll discover what will happen to our star, the sun, when it's ready to expire--we'd better have another place to live at that point, because things on Earth might get a bit toasty! You'll learn why some stars just peter out and die quietly, while others go out in a huge blaze of glory--and others still collapse so rapidly on themselves that they turn into black holes!
