Can you get arrested for not signing a speeding ticket in Utah?
Yes, arresting you is an option the officer has in that case. He can also just give you the ticket (or put it in your car) and walk away, because in the long run it doesn't really matter much whether you sign or not. Which he'll choose to do likely depends on how much you've ticked him off and how full the jails are at the moment.
Signing the ticket is not an admission of guilt, it's an acknowledgement that you know you got a speeding ticket and that you will either pay the fine or appear in court to contest it. Signing proves that you knew about the ticket so can't later claim that you didn't, but the video from the camera in the patrol car showing the officer giving you the ticketalso proves this (so you still can't later claim that you didn't know about it).
Refusing to sign gains you nothing (you're going to have to pay the fine or appear to contest it anyway), and will make the judge when you do eventually appear in court a lot less likely to look kindly upon you. Also, if you're arrested, it's highly likely the officer will also have your car towed, so you'll get to deal with that as well.
So just sign the ticket.

How much does it cost to get circumcised?
Circumcisions cost between $1500 and $2500 or more. This will depend on by whom, the facility, and the age of the patient. An adult in an office setting of a urologist or surgeon will pay about $2000. Circumcision in a hospital setting under general anesthetic could cost as much as $3500.

After the Book of Mormon was found, people became angry. They martyred the Prophet Joseph Smith. Afterwards, persecution for the Mormons became worse, and they decided to move to Utah for a place to live without persecution.
Utah became a state in 1896. It had been settled decades earlier, but statehood was delayed because the state was largely populated by Mormons, whose religious beliefs seemed strange to the rest of the country, especially their belief in polygamy, the right of a man to marry several women. During this time, the US government sent a Governor to be the chief executive of the Utah Territory. Eventually the Mormons officially outlawed polygamy and Congress voted Utah into the union as the 45th state.

What big railroad was joined in Promontory Utah?
Promontory, Utah was the setting for the connection of the Central Pacific Railroad, originating in Sacramento, California, to the Union Pacific Railroad, running from Omaha, Nebraska, creating what was called the First Transcontinental Railroad (also known as the "Pacific Railroad" and later as the "Overland Route"). The final ceremonial golden spike was driven in on May 10, 1869, a little over six years after construction had begun.
The railroad as first completed was not actually transcontinental because its eastern end was only about halfway across the country, stopped by the Missouri River. (It also did not initially reach the Pacific Coast, but the Central Pacific extended its line from Sacramento to the port of Oakland, CA, on San Francisco Bay only six months later). Omaha on the western bank of the Missouri River was not connected by a railroad line to Council Bluffs, Iowa on the eastern side of the River until 1873; before that, trains had to be loaded onto a ferry, boated across the river, and then reloaded on the tracks on the other side. The first true Atlantic-to-Pacific railroad was completed in 1870, by the Kansas Pacific line, which had completed the first railroad bridge to cross the Missouri River, at Kansas City, a year earlier.
