I've talked to three trainers in the past two weeks — Ron Ellis, Gary Stute and Doug O'Neill — who told me that Hollywood Park's Cushion Track was playing more like a dirt track by the end of the 55-day meeting Sunday.
"It's a little bit more firm and it's not as velcro-like as Santa Anita and Del Mar can be," said O'Neill, who returned from a 10-day Mediterranean cruise with his family Saturday night and wrapped up his fourth Hollywood Park spring-summer training title, outdistancing runner-up John Sadler 37-22 while saddling 78 more starters than his rival. Sadler saddled a meet-high seven stakes winners.
Ellis said he likes the Cushion Track better than Santa Anita's Pro-Ride and Del Mar's Polytrack surfaces, and O'Neill gave the Southland's oldest synthetic track a ringing endorsement before winning Sunday's opener with A Lil Dumaani.
"Knock on wood, we had a tremendous amount of luck training on this track," he said. "We really didn't have many hiccups, and that helped us start a lot of these horses two or three times throughout the meet. We were real happy with (Cushion Track), that's for sure.
"We had a lot of starts … we were at a definite strong advantage winning a title like this because of the numbers that we run. But at the same time, hats off to the clients for investing in the horses and letting us run them as often as we do."
Both Darrell Vienna and Jose DeLima enjoyed strong meets with small stables, winning with seven of their 25 starters — a 28 percent clip. Mike Mitchell saddled only 69 horses but finished fourth in the standings with 15 victories, a 22 percent success rate.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at N.C. State University has announced leadership changes in six of its departments, with the appointments of three new department heads and three interim department heads.
North Carolina State University is one of nine universities from throughout the U.S., Canada and Latin America to win a "100,000 Strong in the Americas" innovation grant in the amount of $25,000, given by the U.S. Department of State; Partners of the Americas; and NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
The advantages of bigness in companies may be changing, says Dr. Mike Walden. And the most significant game-changer helping small firms today may be technology.
State 4-H Congress will be in Raleigh June 21-24, attracting 541 youth and their adult leaders for activities including presentations on a variety of subjects, leadership and citizenship training, service opportunities, officer elections and more. At State 4-H Congress, youth will choose between traditional 4-H Congress activities and two learning tracks on citizenship and leadership.
Agricultural research in North Carolina got a boost this year from $2.5 million in state funds allocated to upgrade equipment at the state's network of research stations. Recently, state and university officials gathered at Clayton's Central Crops Research Station to demonstrate some of the new equipment that will help modernize agricultural experiments across the state.
Soon It will be five years since the bottom of the economic recession. Is the economy is better today than it was five years ago, and, if so, how much better? Mike Walden looks at some of the key economic measures, particularly for North Carolina.

Mitsubishi is known for its quality and performance-oriented vehicles. For the diesel vehicles to show full its power and performance, it require one small yet important component. It is none other than the turbo. Turbos can be called as the power booster of the diesel vehicles. The main function of the turbo is to increase the power output of the vehicle by increasing the air intake of the vehicle. All the diesel vehicles fitted with a turbo should be maintained properly to enjoy the powerful driving experience. If you own a Mitsubishi eclipse then you can follow a simple tip to enhance the performance of your eclipse. Just leave your engine idle for a few minutes before switching it off after a long drive. This will allow the engine to cool and the turbo to stop pumping oil for lubrication. If you follow this, you can increase the life expectancy of your Mitsubishi eclipse turbo.
At Turbocharger Pros you can select the right part just by selecting the year and the model of your vehicle. You can be assured of the quality as all the parts displayed in the website are tested for quality. We do not sell any "spray and pray" parts and offer our customers only genuine and original replacement parts.
With modern technology, Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo and super charger has evolved into a high tech component. Changing these parts with high quality replacements has never been more important.
Whether its a Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ferrari, Ford, GMC, Geo, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Mercury, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, Porsche, Renault, Rolls Royce, Saab, Saturn, Sterling, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen or Volvo we have your unit in stock.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Protect Electronics, Prevent Hazards
Big-ticket electronics, such as televisions, computers, and gaming consoles, are at the top of many holiday wish lists—but safety may not be. Purchasing, installing, and operating these items safely protects not only the expensive equipment, but also your entire home. The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) offers the following tips, and for more information, visit holidaysafety.org. Safety tips Always purchase electrical devices from a reputable retailer that you trust. Be especially wary when making online purchases. Check that all electrical items are certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or Intertek […]
Cooking Efficiently
Control energy costs while preparing holiday feasts The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that cooking alone accounts for 4 percent of total home energy use, and this figure doesn't include the energy costs associated with refrigeration, hot water heating, and dishwashing. As holiday parties and potlucks gear up, keep these tips in mind to control energy costs: Don't peek. Every time the oven door is opened, the temperature inside is reduced by as much as 25 degrees, forcing it to use more energy to get back to the proper cooking temperature. Turn it down or turn it off. For regular cooking, it's probably not […]
Spotting Energy Myths and Scams
A quick Internet search reveals many ways to save energy around your home—and a lot of them are too good to be true. Scams generally center around misstatements of science or confusion over utility programs. That's why it's always a good idea to call your electric co-op to verify or ask questions about any energy-saving program you see advertised. The most popular scam right now involves a device that promises to save energy without requiring you to make any changes in behavior, turn anything off, or adjust the thermostat. People who sell these "little boxes" often claim outrageous energy savings—sometimes […]
American Blackout
Filmed as a fictional docudrama, National Geographic Channel's "American Blackout," premiering tonight, depicts the first 10 days immediately following a nationwide blackout caused by a cyber attack that takes down the entire electric power grid. The movie focuses on several different storylines of how people deal with the blackout. The movie is presented in "real time" by using video clips from recent events, like Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Katrina, the 2003 Eastern US blackout, and footage of President Obama addressing the nation. While the movie is an excellent reminder to be prepared for routine power outages and natural disasters, the current […]
Cooperative Difference research scheduled
The Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association will be fielding the National Survey on the Cooperative Difference statewide beginning in October.

FPU earns high marks on TVA compliance audit
Fayetteville Public Utilities (FPU) has received high marks after an exhaustive audit performed by Tennessee Valley Authority's Distributor Compliance Group. During a presentation to FPU's board of directors, Walter Haynes, representing TVA, told board members that FPU's compliance audit was "one of the cleanest" he has seen since TVA began performing compliance assessments of each of TVA's local power companies. "The compliance audit that TVA does is an audit that looks at the operations of Fayetteville Public Utilities to determine if you are in compliance with the wholesale power contract that you have with the Tennessee Valley Authority," he explained.

Sequachee Valley safety demo trailer
Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative recently completed their Live Line Safety demonstration trailer.

Thanks to the kind support of Toys for Tots, the children of 54 Alexandria inmates received holiday gifts and, if needed, warm winter accessories this holiday season. Through Operation Elf, on Wednesday, December 11, Sheriff's Office staff distributed new toys, hand-crafted hats, and warm gloves to be given to inmates' children as holiday gifts. Each year, Toys for Tots provides the Sheriff's Office with donated toys so that children of inmates in the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center who cannot afford to purchase gifts will receive a toy during holiday celebrations. This year Toys for Tots of Quantico provided enough new toys for 163 children. Members of the Inmate Services staff also crocheted more than 50 winter caps, generously donating their own time and talent to create special gifts for children of inmates. In recent weeks, Inmate Services staff contacted inmates to identify those who had children who might benefit from Operation Elf. Eligible inmates then provided staff with the age and gender of the children, as well as the name of a family member or guardian who would be picking out the toys and winter accessories. The designated family members then visited the Sheriff's Office where staff assisted them in selecting toys and warm hats and gloves.

'The Vampire Diaries' 100th episode: Candice Accola teases the big Klaroline reunion and moreAdd to Favorites | The Vampire Diaries
"The Vampire Diaries" fans are a loyal and vocal bunch (and proud of it!). And one very loyal and vocal subset group of those fans know they have something big to look forward to in the 100th episode airing this Thursday (Jan. 23): Klaroline reuniting.
Klaus and Caroline shippers have been waiting for these two to share the screen again ever since Joseph Morgan left to star on his own spinoff series, "The Originals." While Klaroline fans don't know exactly what's going to happen when Klaus makes his way back to Mystic Falls, they do know that whatever happens is going to be a game-changer.
Zap2it caught up with Candice Accola on set in Atlanta to discuss the big 100th episode, and she thinks that even Caroline doesn't know how she feels about the Original hybrid.
"It's interesting how their relationship built over the past couple of seasons, because it's almost like she hated him so much that she didn't know if she wanted to just grab him by the throat and throw him through a door, or just like kiss him," Accola says. "I think that was the awesome tension that the fans really loved about their chemistry, because you just couldn't tell -- is she gonna smack him or throw her arms around him?"
While we are under strict orders from The CW not to reveal a single thing about their encounter, we did wonder if this will open the door for Caroline to make her way down to New Orleans for a crossover on "The Originals."
"I personally would love to go to New Orleans but I don't know if that's in the cards," Accola says. "I have no idea. I think there's a lot going on in New Orleans without me heading down there to complicate things."
So how does Accola feel about the Klaroline reunion? "Honestly, I'm happy as long as the character is always evolving. As soon as she gets confident in herself, I hope she falls down and hits herself hard and has to get back up again," Accola says. "What I love about Caroline is that her experiences and what she goes through are very human -- her insecurities and how she gives her opinion when it's not asked and how she sometimes does things without thinking about them and how she's had to learn to take responsibility for her actions."
She continues, "As far as her relationships go, I think as long as she's learning and growing or hurting, as long as she's evolving in some sort of way emotionally, then I'm open to it because I love working with all those boys. At this point I feel like everybody's made out with each other."
One relationship that fans would love to see grow even more is the friendship between Caroline and Stefan. "I really love the friendship that has grown between them," Accola says. "I think that whoever is enjoying the Caroline and Stefan scenes, there will be a lot more of them this season."
Accola promises that if you've ever been a fan of "The Vampire Diaries," then the 100th episode is for you, no matter who you 'ship.
"The writers were really excited about this episode," Accola says. "I know [executive producers] Julie [Plec] and Caroline [Dries] have done so much to make this episode special, not just for everyone behind the scenes, as it has been, but for the viewers especially. I think that they're really going to appreciate the 100th episode. A lot of heart went into it and I think that they really wanted to celebrate the fans with this episode."
Making it to 100 episodes is a rare thing for a series to achieve, and Accola was excited for the wrap party later that weekend. "Celebrating 100 episodes is so special. It's a very, very special night," Accola says. "Not only are the actors here but the producers are here, the writers are here, and all the executives are here and the crew is here. That's what makes it so great."
While she couldn't reveal much about the 100th episode, Accola did tease that Katherine's fight for survival now that she's dying of old age will give fans an interesting look at the life of Katerina Petrova.
"We're really going to have an opportunity to understand Katherine in a new light," Accola says. "It's a really great look at this character, because if you really look at it, she's the root that started this whole thing. The only reason Stefan stopped in Mystic Falls was because he thought he saw Katherine, the only reason Damon returned to Mystic Falls was because he was looking for Katherine, the only reason Caroline is a vampire is because of Katherine, the only reason Damon and Stefan ever became vampires was because of Katherine, so she's kind of the root."
She continues, "And Elena is her doppelganger, so it kind of all brings it together. We're really going to get to know the root of this group in a new light, and we're going to learn more about her, and what she's going through as a human."
There is one scene in particular near the end of the episode that features all of the cast -- a rarity when working on a show with a cast as large as "TVD" -- and Accola couldn't wait to film it.
"I brought my camera to work today," Accola says with a laugh. "I'm really excited, it's a great day, it's a great weekend, we're all celebrating. This has been my first television series that I've ever worked on and the fact that I've been fortunate enough to be part of a series that goes to 100 episodes, because a lot don't, and that is an accomplishment for us all."
Accola is happy that she can celebrate with her fellow cast members who have become like a family over the past five years. "We were all young and at different places in our lives when we started this series," Accola says. "We've all seen each other at 6 in the morning when we're waking up or 6 a.m. when we're going to bed. We all know each other's annoyances, we know how to bug each other, we know what someone will be bugged by, what someone won't be bugged by, we know what each other eats, what we each other likes, don't likes, we already know if someone walks into the room to turn the air up because they're going to get cold, or we have to turn it down."
She continues, "It's weird because we didn't necessarily choose to work together. We get hired for a job, we're placed in a city that we never chose to necessarily live in, and we're here as long as the show is successful, so the family that's been built and the roots that have been planted and the connections that we've all made, we'll all know each other forever and we'll always have this time together."
"The Vampire Diaries" 100th episode airs Thursday (Jan. 23) at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

SDSU-UNLV rivalry heating up in desert
There is the video by the guy who describes himself as "Las Vegas born and raised" and "I like to shoot stuff." It shows a masked gunman in the desert wearing a UNLV T-shirt, aiming an assault rifle at a television set that is showing the final seconds of San Diego State's 69-67 win against the Rebels last month at Viejas Arena.
Shows him pulling the trigger. Shows the TV exploding into a fireball.
There's the formation three weeks ago of "The Rebellion," a UNLV student section that hopes to emulate SDSU's "The Show" and already has electronic billboards across Las Vegas — and boasted on Twitter that "we have received and confirmed where the basketball team from San Diego will be staying."
There are the increasingly contentious cyberspace exchanges that have included side-by-side photos of Aztecs bearded center Garrett Green and al-Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki (who reportedly once attended graduate classes at SDSU) with the caption: "Wait a second."
There was the overflow crowd Thursday night for the usually subdued weekly radio show of Rebels coach Dave Rice at the Orleans casino.
There's the Thomas & Mack Center selling all 18,000-plus seats two days in advance for today's 1 p.m. tipoff matching the No. 13 Aztecs (20-3, 6-1) against the No. 14 Rebels (21-4, 5-2), the earliest basketball sellout in two decades.
There's Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman issuing a formal proclamation designating Friday as "UNLV Rebel Red Day" and urging "all citizens to proudly wear red in honor of our Runnin' Rebels."
"It's big, it's really big," Aztecs forward Jamaal Franklin acknowledged. "But we can't be too anxious. We have to take it as another day at the office. If you don't, pressure comes to you, and pressure bursts pipes."
There are two general explanations for UNLV's sudden infatuation with beating the Aztecs. One is that BYU, the school everyone loved to hate, is no longer in the Mountain West. The other is jealousy.
Over the past 2½ seasons, the Rebels are 56-13 against the rest of the nation … and 0-6 against SDSU. They have defeated Wisconsin, Kansas State, New Mexico, Illinois, Cal, USC, Utah, BYU and North Carolina when it was No. 1. And in six meetings against the Aztecs: loss, loss, loss, loss, loss, loss.
In the past 10 meetings: 1-9.
"It always sucks to lose to San Diego State," UNLV senior Brice Massamba told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We've lost to them a lot, so we want to change the trend."
Added Quintrell Thomas: "It has bothered me a long time."
It has, because the games are so tantalizingly close. The last two went down to the final possession — a D.J. Gay buzzer-beater in the Mountain West tournament last March, a Jamaal Franklin buzzer-beater at Viejas Arena last month. The two before that were six-point games.
And they usually go like this: SDSU sags on defense and the Rebels jack up shots from the perimeter, and miss. SDSU dares them to keep shooting, the Rebels keep missing.

Halo for Xbox One teaser trailer: Cloaked Master Chief returns for next-gen epic
We knew that Microsoft would have to show off its Halo franchise for the Xbox One, and while there was no gameplay on offer the teaser trailer revealed by 343 Industries' Bonnie Ross was nothing short of epic.
Depicting a cloak-wearing figure wandering though the desert, initially there was not a hint of Halo to be seen. The figure continues to plod through desert-like land, the wind catching every groove of material - and it looks nothing short of stunning - before a huge alien-like ship surfaces from beneath the sands. With it the cloak's hood falls back to reveal Master Chief as we've not seen him before.
Despite no gameplay shown off, Ross did reveal that the title would run at 60fps on the Xbox One console, so anticipate super-smooth first-person blasting. This is one franchise that's gone from strength to strength - we can't wait to see more.
The game will launch some time in 2014, so perhaps we won't hear much more before next year's E3.

The 17th Parallel
No upcoming showtimes.
The 17th Parallel
Joris Ivens , 1968
Netherlands | 113 minutes
On the border of North and South Vietnam, civilians live underground and cultivate their land in the dead of night, farmers take up arms, and bombs fall like clockwork. Joris Ivens and Marceline Loridan's record of daily life in one of the most volatile regions of a war-torn, divided country is both a hazardous piece of first-hand journalism and a shattering work in its own right, simmering with barely repressed anger.

Sept. 28, 2008
HANOVER, N.H. - Junior Courtney Callahan (Acton, Mass.) scored the game-winning goal and had an assist as the Holy Cross field hockey team edged Dartmouth, 3-2, in non-league action on Sunday afternoon at the Chase Astro Turf Field. With the win, the Crusaders improve to 3-5 on the season while Dartmouth drops to 1-6.
The Big Green struck first just 47 seconds into the game as Rebecca Sobel tipped a pass from Virginia Peisch into the goal.
Just nine minutes later, at the 9:40 mark, the Crusaders took advantage of a penalty corner as sophomore Alana Sikorski (Glen Gardner, N.J.) and Callahan set up senior Kristin Schulz (Fairfield, Conn.) to get a shot past Dartmouth goalkeeper Meagan Vakiener, making the score, 1-1.
At the 27:44 mark, the Crusaders struck again as sophomore Kara Gonnerman (St. Louis, Mo.) scored off a rebounded shot by Schulz, making the score, 2-1. With less than five minutes left in the first half, Kelly Hood scored off a shot from the top of the circle on a penalty corner, assisted by Kristen McCormick and Peisch, evening the score, 2-2.
With just under seven minutes left in the second half, Callahan tipped the game-winner in the goal cage off a pass from Sikorski, making the final score, 3-2.
Holy Cross senior goalkeeper Erin Singleton (Amesbury, Mass.) made a season-high 11 saves while Vakiener had seven stops for the Big Green.
The Crusaders return to action on Saturday, October 4 at 12:00 p.m., as they travel to American for their first Patriot League game of the season.

Many nature lovers in Bangkok are often looking for a place to relax that's not too far from the city. Khao Yai is always a favourite for those who are truly in need of a place where they can really get back to nature. The main reason is its relatively close proximity to the city.
Since being declared Thailand's first national park in 1962, Khao Yai has been a very popular attraction. People go there for various outdoor activities ranging from education, camping, trekking, wildlife watching, bird watching, mountain biking and even river rafting.
Access by road is easy and as you approach the park both sides of the road are lined with restaurants, mini-marts, guesthouses, resorts, lodges and golf courses. It may be that there are too many people coming here and the forest is in danger of being destroyed.
The destruction of Khao Yai has been so heavy at times that in 1992 the government of Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun ordered the park to be closed for reforestation purposes. Some hotels and resorts as well as golf courses were scrapped as a result.
After a while, Khao Yai was reopened and welcomes tourists again, but this time there was an attempt to be more cautious about tourism development.
Yet problems still remain, especially regarding encroachment and the amount of garbage caused by tourism. Please try to be good tourists and to travel with respect for nature.
Although various points of interest at Khao Yai can be easily accessed by car, our group of young, energetic and enthusiastic trekkers chose the more adventurous
path trekking.
There are five nature trails of different distances. Each trail has signposts that tourists can follow. Walkers can also request to have a park ranger from the national park's headquarters accompany them as a guide. In the rainy season, trekkers should beware of leeches. There's nothing to worry about you can use an anti-leech bag. During the rainy season you should also carry a raincoat.
The most popular route in Khao Yai is a half day walk from Dong Tiew to Nong Phak Chi Wildlife watch towers. The starting point was just opposite the park's headquarters. Followed the signs at the roadside and in a short while you will be in a dense forest. Further on is the jungle where the sounds of insects and birdsong replaced the noise of the cars on the road outside.
There was plenty of wild mushrooms, flowers, and streams to be spotted on this 5.4-kilometre trail. There were also great variety of birds, including Hornbills, Dollarbirds, red-headed Trogons, Drongos, Greater Racket-tailed Drongos and red-mottled Lapwings.
It takes about three hours to reach the Nong Phak Chi viewing point. The tower here is to help people observe wildlife at the nearby salt lick. You may be lucky enough to see wild dogs or even a herd of elephants. The watch tower is only a kilometre from the road, so it's quite a popular visitor spot.
A more adventuresome, one day hike is from the park headquarters to Heaw Suwat waterfall, a distance of 8.1 kilometres, and then to continue for another 4.5
kilometres to Thung Khao Laem.
Heaw Suwat is easily accessible by car but if you plan to test your physical strength on the long and tough route, it may be advisable to request a park ranger as a guide
The trail started very close to the office where you will be greeted with the echoing sounds of gibbons. With a guide you will not only feel safe but you will be able to observe him on duty.
The ranger will help pave our way through the wilderness, especially the parts where the trail was covered with piles of dead trees. He will be able to point out interesting plants and even wild animal tracks.
Normally the ranger's job is to search for the poachers who come into the jungle illegally to cut valuable wood or hunt wildlife. It's still a big problem for Khao Yai. Sometimes they come across the encroachers and have to exchange fire with them. Some rangers have lost their lives on duty and the world outside never hears about it. It is good to know rangers are so devoted to protecting the national heritage, and yet receive very little pay.
Birdwatchers on this trail will be delighted to see Oriental pied Hornbills, Silver-breasted Broadbills, Red-whiskered Bulbuls, Black-crested Bulbuls and many other birds. The park is home to more than 300 bird species.
It is an exhausting six hours from the starting point to Heaw Suwat waterfall. From there is another 4.5 kilometres to Thung Khao Laem or Khao Laem prairie and the only way to get there was to walk.
After three hours tramping in the wilderness, you will see the vast green prairie stretching out ahead. Thung Khao Laem is a vast field of high grass. Legend has it that the area was once a rural community. Evidence of the existence of this community can still be seen and the ruins of an old temple remain.
Khao Yai was proclaimed a national park in 1962. It is more than 1,600 square kilometres spanning four provinces: Nakhon Nayok, Prachinburi, Saraburi and Nakhon Ratchasima. With its great diversity and abundance of wildlife, Khao Yai has also been honoured as part of the Natural Heritage of Asia. It has served as a prototype for other national parks in Thailand.
Khao Yai offers a wide range of accommodation for visitors. There are campsites at Pha Kluai Mai and Lam Ta Kong. The fee is 50 Baht per person. This is great value and travellers will be well cared for. The area is safe and level, an ideal place to pitch a tent for the night.
We ask that you bring your own tents, of course, and if you are more interested in hotel offers there are hotels in the area, but an authentic campsite is a great experience, so please do consider. The weather is usually wonderful and we offer the normal services available at any reputable campsite.
As you arrive at Khao Yai, go to the Tourist Service Centre for details on accommodation or to request a park ranger to accompany you on a trek.
Khao Yai offers a wide range of accommodation for visitors. There are campsites at Pha Kluai Mai and Lam Ta Kong. The fee is 60 Bahtper person.
The campsites can be quite crowded. There are public toilets and bathrooms.
Khao Yai is easily accessible by car. Take the Pak Chong or Prachinburi routes from Bangkok.
Prachinburi route: take highway No. 305 from Rangsit-Ongkharak road to Nakhon Nayok and follow highway number 33, then turn left at Naresuan ring road and follow highway No. 3077 and after about 10 km you'll reach the park headquarters. This route is a shorter distance from Bangkok but steeper. This route is also more scenic and has many points of interest. Heaw Narok waterfall is a short distance if you take this route.
Pak Chong route: Follow highway No. 1 to Saraburi province, then turn right to route No. 2 which goes to Pak Chong. Then take highway No 2090 for about 20 kilometres and you'll reach the entrance. The Pak Chong route is longer.

BRISTOL, Va. - A ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday signaled the formal start of operations at Nulife Glass, but it will be some time before actual recycling can begin. The Manchester, England-based firm plans to construct a large electric furnace and recycle old cathode ray tube TVs and computer monitors inside the former Crowley Dairy property at the corner of Gate City Highway and Catherine Street. Nulife recently acquired the vacant, 12-acre site

Microsoft Surface Pro 2: Feature-Packed Powerhouse With Intel i5 Processor and 8GB RAM!
Microsoft has announced the next generation of its Surface 2 Windows 8 tablets. The Surface Pro 2, the superior cousin built for desktop-like performance in a tablet's casing. It features a power Intel i5 processor (4th Generation) clocked at 1.6GHz dual-core and up to 8GB of RAM.
With a stylus dubbed as 'Surface Pen' docked into a sagely designed port, a swish kickstand on the back for media munching and video calling, Intel HD Graphics 4400 and up to 512GB of storage space, it's a complete tablet PC and not just a tablet for name sake.
Designed as a plausible replacement for notebooks and convenience of portability in equal measures, the Surface 2 Pro Windows 8 tablet comes with a host of improvements, and several praise-worthy enhancements including better graphics, bigger battery for longer usage, and quite some variety for everyone to choose from, the Surface 2 Pro is nothing short of everything.
With up to 50% more graphics, 20% better performance and 75% more battery life than the original surface, this sturdy-looking device comes with twin 720p HD cameras – one on each of largest sides, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, USB 3.0, a microSD card slot, a mini Display port, standard audio jack and built-in stereo speakers. No wonder why its seen as one of the best Windows 8 tablets so far.
Other than the top-end version which comes with 512GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, the Surface 2 Pro is also available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB variants. However, it is worth noting that both 64GB and 128GB ship with only 4GB of RAM, which is still pretty much for a device of mobile family.
The Surface 2 Pro price (mentioned below) might come as a shocker to many since most tablets come for about half as much the price, but with the tablet shipping a licensed version of Windows 8.1 OS out of the box, that price tag shouldn't seem too hefty.
Microsoft Surface 2 Pro Pricing and Capacity:
64GB model – $899 (ships with 4GB RAM)
128GB model – $999 (ships with 4GB RAM)
256GB model – $1299 (ships with 8GB RAM)
512GB model – $1799 (ships with 8GB RAM)
While the device is surface 2 Pro will be available from 22nd of October this year with interesting goodies like free international Skype calls, 200GB Skydrive storage for two years along with Microsoft Office 365 suite configured to a one-month free trial license. As with the original Surface tablets, the Surface 2 Pro has its own accessories in the form of Touch and Type Covers 2, which are available in cyan, purple, magenta, and black colors. A new 'Power Cover' with similar mettle but an extra battery is expected to debut in early 2014.

CS/SB 444 — Scrutinized Companies
by Community Affairs Committee and Senators Bogdanoff and Benacquisto
This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.
Prepared by: Governmental Oversight and Accountability Committee (GO)
This bill prohibits a company on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in Sudan List or on the Scrutinized Companies with Activities in the Iran Petroleum Energy Sector List from bidding on, submitting a proposal for, or entering into or renewing a contract with an agency or local governmental entity for goods or services of $1 million or more. The bill provides an exception to the prohibition under specified circumstances.
The bill requires a company to certify that it is not on either list before it submits a bid or proposal for or enters into or renews such a contract. Any such contract entered into or renewed on or after July 1, 2011, must contain a provision that allows for termination of the contract if the company is found to have submitted a false certification.
The bill provides a process through which an agency or local government that makes a determination of false certification must provide notice to the company, and through which the company may respond to and challenge the determination. The bill also requires the agency or local government to bring a civil action if the company does not disprove the determination of false certification within a specified time, and specifies penalties for a company that a court determines has made a false certification. Only the agency or local governmental entity that is a party to the contract is authorized to bring such a civil action.
The bill also:
- Specifies that the section of law created by the bill preempts any ordinance or rule or any agency or local governmental entity involving public contracts for goods or services of $1 million or more with a company engaged in scrutinized business operations.
- Requires the Department of Management Services to submit a written notice describing the section to the Attorney General of the United States within 30 days after July 1, 2011.
- Provides that the section becomes inoperative on the date that federal law ceases to authorize the states to adopt and enforce the contracting prohibitions of the type provided for in the section.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect July1, 2011.
Vote: Senate 37-0; House 118-0

Gavin Tait plans to make up for lost time when he returns to the ring.
The Sheppey light middleweight makes his comeback after almost three years out when he fights at the Coronet Theatre in London on Saturday.
He doesn't know who he'll be facing yet, but the 38-year-old is ready for his first bout since winning the Southern Area welterweight title against Chas Symonds in September
Work commitments have kept Tait out of action and news of his return has gone down well with Islanders who will follow him to Southwark.
He said: "Everyone loves a comeback, don't they? I'm 38 now but I reckon I've got another two years in me.
"I did wonder how the interest would be after so long out but I've still got 100 people coming up to support me, which is great.
"I left off winning the Southern Area title, which was a British title eliminator, and it would be nice to get back to that level. I'd like to get on Prizefighter which would suit me and there's a £32,000 prize."

More than seven years after the second phase of the Mithi River works began, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is yet to complete works worth over Rs 700 crore, almost half of the civic body's total DPR cost (Rs 1,240 crore) for work on Mithi and its bridges.
Of the 17.84 km of the river length, 11.84 km is under BMC's jurisdiction and 6 km is under MMRDA's. The second phase involves deepening and widening work, construction of retaining wall and remodeling of existing bridges.
"The deepening and widening works worth Rs 80 crore remain in the MMRDA portion while works of Rs 760 crore are left in the BMC's portion," stated the latest status report of the Mithi River Development and Protection Authority (MRDPA), an agency formulated by the state after the 2005 deluge. This, even as the revised deadline for project completion is May 2015, which civic officials now say would be extended.
From the first week of April, BMC will undertake the annual pre-monsoon de-silting and cleaning of the entire stretch.
"We have spent almost Rs 531.7 crore for the river works and the bridges department has spent nearly Rs 39.64 crore. Of the remaining amount, although work is yet to begin, the storm water drains (SWD) department has issued tenders worth Rs 350 crore; only tenders worth Rs 50 crore are left," said L S Vhatkar, chief engineer, SWD department.
Even after eight years, the BMC has completed only 45 per cent of the construction of the retaining wall, with around 11 km of the river yet to be secured by the wall. The retaining wall will enable channelling of the river, prevent encroachments and dumping of debris.
"Of the 11 km, 2 km fall on airport land, where we cannot construct. We have issued tenders for construction in the remaining 9-km stretch," said Vhatkar. According to the SWD department, of approximately 22 km of retaining wall, 10.3 km-long wall has been constructed. In the past year, the civic body constructed only 1.04 km of the wall.
According to MRDPA, 95 per cent of the widening and deepening work of Mithi River has been completed, which leaves the civic body with work along only 800 metres of the river.
The BMC blames difficulty in removal of encroachments as the main reason for the delay. So far, of the 6,577 encroachments along the BMC stretch of the river, it has removed only 4,922.
"The collector has to take a call on the eligibility of the slum-dwellers for rehabilitation before we can demolish the structures, which takes time. With an extension of the cut-off deadline for rehabilitation to January 1, 2000, more people will be now be eligible," said SVR Srinivas, additional municipal commissioner (eastern suburbs). "It also …continued »

This section openly conveys risk and insurance considerations of volunteering as a therapy animal team. For your benefit, its manner of presentation is purposely forthright. It is designed to lead you to be aware of your personal and legal responsibility as a volunteer therapy animal handler, consider how you are insured (personally and by Pet Partners), and take whatever action is advisable to ensure you are sufficiently protected. Discussion of Pet Partners' insurance as it applies to registered therapy animal teams begins in the fifth paragraph. It is important to read this section through to the end to fully understand its context.
It is important for therapy animal handlers to understand the risks involved in being a volunteer, whether it be through Pet Partners or in any other volunteer pursuit. As a therapy animal handler, you are personally and legally responsible for damages or injuries that are either caused by you or your animal, or suffered by you or your animal. Pet Partners assumes no legal responsibility for the actions of you or your animal. Volunteers can protect themselves against these and other risks with a type of insurance called liability insurance. Whether or not a claim submitted to one's liability insurance carrier will be covered depends on the particular facts and circumstances of the claim and the terms and conditions of the insurance policy. Nevertheless, making sure that you have insurance is an important step in protecting yourself against future risks. Benefits provided by liability insurance generally include the costs of defending against lawsuits, payment of damages and in some circumstances, payment of medical expenses. We recommend that all volunteer therapy animal handlers carry a homeowner's, tenant homeowner's, or condominium owner's insurance policy. Those policies generally include coverage for personal liability. We also recommend that handlers consult with their insurance agent to discuss the form and amount of insurance appropriate for their volunteer activities.Pet Partners carries a primary commercial general liability insurance policy ("CGLI") for its employees, officers, directors and qualified volunteers for accidents that occur during the policy period. A therapy animal team registered with Pet Partners is covered by this insurance upon receipt of the team's acceptance letter and ends at the expiration of the team's registration. Pet Partners' CGLI policy includes the following provisions, among others: a. Coverage under the policy is subject to the facts and circumstances of a loss and terms and conditions of the policy. Coverage is not guaranteed. b. Claims under the CGLI policy must be submitted promptly and could be barred if submitted late. c. If applicable, the CGLI policy might apply in circumstances where a therapy animal handler's homeowners policy does not, or vice versa; or the two policies might both apply. d. The CGLI insurance policy has limits in the amount of $2,000,000 per occurrence.
e. Coverage for injuries suffered by therapy animal teams is limited to qualified medical expenses of less than $5,000 for handlers. There is no coverage for injuries suffered by animals. f. Therapy animal handlers registered with Pet Partners are individually responsible for monetary awards not paid by the policy (a good reason to carry homeowners or similar coverage).
g. Coverage is not provided for damages occurring between fellow therapy animal handlers or any other Pet Partners volunteers. h. Coverage is not provided for damages caused by intentional acts or as a result of a therapy animal handler acting outside the scope of, or not in compliance with, Pet Partners' policies and procedures for volunteers. i. Territory covered by the CGLI includes the United States of America (including its territories and possessions), Puerto Rico, and Canada.
j. Therapy animal handlers must maintain their volunteer status for the policy to be available (i.e., handlers must receive no compensation for their volunteer services and must not incorporate a registered therapy animal while performing duties of their job. Reimbursement of nominal incidental expenses such as supplies can be allowed without jeopardizing volunteer status.For a complete understanding of the CGLI policy coverage, please consult the full terms and conditions of Pet Partners' CGLI policy. A copy of the Certificate of Liability Insurance coverage for our volunteers is available on the Team Resources page. For other questions relating to our coverage — please email email@example.com.
Subject to the terms and limitations of Pet Partners' CGLI policy (including those discussed above), Instructors, Evaluators, and others who are assisting Instructors and/or Evaluators at a workshop or an evaluation are considered Pet Partners volunteers and are also covered by Pet Partners' CGLI. The following persons, among others, are not covered:
Please note that the limitation set forth in item one above does not apply to therapy animal handlers already registered with Pet Partners and who are being re-evaluated and whose registration remains current. Insurance coverage terminates at the expiration of these handlers' registration period. If a therapy animal handler registered with Pet Partners is being evaluated prior to expiration, CGLI coverage terminates at the earlier of either failing an evaluation or expiration of the registration period.Even though the people in the preceding categories are not covered, a licensed instructor, team evaluator, or person volunteering at the request of the licensed instructor or team evaluator might still be covered for injury-related expenses caused by any of the persons listed in the above categories (subject to the terms and conditions of the CGLI policy).
Questions arise periodically about whether Pet Partners' CGLI applies to other entities and their facilities. These other entities include separate businesses, governmental agencies, or organizations other than Pet Partners. We recognize that therapy animal handlers registered with Pet Partners often take the initiative to approach an entity for use of its facility, including whether the facility can be used for instruction and /or evaluation.
Pet Partners' CGLI is limited to qualifying individuals (i.e., Pet Partners employees, officers, directors and volunteers); it does not cover entities. Such entities are considered unrelated third parties just as a non-employee / non-volunteer would be.
Facilities with questions about insurance coverage may contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are several important considerations for community partners. As discussed above, Pet Partners' CGLI covers individuals, not entities. Subject to the facts and limitations in the policy, therapy animal handlers registered with Pet Partners are covered by Pet Partners' CGLI for damages or injuries they cause or suffer when performing Pet Partners' activities regardless of whether they volunteer individually or as a member of a Pet Partners community partner. However, Pet Partners' CGLI does not apply to community partner activities that are outside the scope of Pet Partners activities as described in Pet Partners' Handler Student Guide. It also doesn't applyu to community partners activities that don't comply with Pet Partners policies and procedures. If handlers participate in either type of activity in connection with a Pet Partners community partner, they will not be covered for any accidents that occur. To the extent community partners do not already have a liability insurance policy, they should consider obtaining coverage applicable to entities and their activities.
Pet Partners has a collaborative approach to work in AAA/AAT. Registered handlers may belong to other therapy animal groups in addition to Pet Partners. However, to prevent confusion, the handler should clarify which organization they are representing during a visit, as that would impact insurance coverage should something happen. A simple way to achieve this is to wear only the badge for the group you are visiting on behalf of during the visit, rather than wearing multiple badges at the same time.
Pet Partners does not have any restrictions on its teams visiting a facility while other therapy animal volunteers who are not members of Pet Partners are present. The preceding discussion is a general overview and is for informational purposes only. For a complete understanding of the insurance potentially available, please consult the full terms and conditions of Pet Partners' CGLI policy, as well as any homeowner's, condominium owner's or any similar policy under which you are named as an insured. Any accident that results in damages or injuries will be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances subject to the terms and conditions of Pet Partners' CGLI. This discussion does not create a contract or other legal obligation of Pet Partners, and may not be relied upon for that purpose. The detail and precise language of the insurance policy must be examined for a full understanding of the extent and limits of Pet Partners' CGLI.
