Reed Sorenson could spoil Hendrick-Gibbs duel in Daytona 500
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.: A pair of high-profile Nationwide Series teams owned by drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Michael Waltrip likely will be penalized after NASCAR inspectors found technical violations before qualifying Friday. It's not another Daytona cheating scandal — not yet, anyway — but inspectors did impound Earnhardt's No. 5 Nationwide car Thursday night after spotting an illegal modification to his rear spoiler. The team got its car back — minus the spoiler and rear deck lid — Friday morning. Officials also confiscated the carburetor from the No. 99 Nationwide car driven by David Reutimann, who drives for Michael Waltrip Racing. The carburetor's venturis were too large, allowing more air to pass through and providing a potential horsepower advantage.

Taking the human out of human resources
No longer will your ascent up the career ladder be left in the hands of mere mortals. A new wave of "talent management software" promises to put more oomph into performance reviews, allowing companies to identify stars and slackers with the ease of a Google search. While they will never completely take the human out of human resources, silicon talent scouts are becoming more popular as businesses seek an edge in an increasingly tight labour market. "It's all about demographics," says Christina Hlusko, vice-president of human resources and information technology for the Canadian Automobile Association's north and east Ontario region.

I would like to give praise and thanks to our paperboy, John, in the Bradford area. In sleet, rain, and snow he is out there delivering the paper. We all appreciate that. Need parks Parks.

Electric outage I would like to know how the electric company can tell you that the electricity will be off for three hours — this is in New Hampshire. They had the power off for three hours and said it will be back around 5 p.m. When 5 p.m. hit, the power came back on.
