Cheltenham Raises Stakes on Gold Cup Race - Racegoers Scrambling for Last Tickets

2013-02-09
Drawing a crowd of over 70,000 racegoers a year, many would call the Gold Cup the National Hunt Festival's prime attraction. But Cheltenham organizers beg to differ, claiming the race has not yet reached its peak celebrity status. To offset the race's convergence with the festival's other attractions, Cheltenham's masterminds limit ticket purchases to elevate the race's stature. Many would think that over GBP800,000 in presales would accredit the Gold Cup with the title of flagship event. For those who would think that an estimated GBP200,000 lost in purchased tickets ...

2013-02-09
Whether at the airport, a mall or sometimes even around campus, law enforcement and security officers are often accompanied by working dogs.

Highway safety ratings in Texas are among the worst in the nation

2013-02-09

Many of those overburdened by debt are tempted by quick influxes of money provided by the countless payday loan businesses around the nation, lured in by a promise of immediate payment. These businesses operate by essentially ...

Distracted driving dangers -- and what Nevada is doing about it

2013-02-09
Texting or talking to a client who has a question that can't wait until the morning. Putting on makeup or getting in a quick shave before a job interview. Eating breakfast or drinking your morning coffee on the go. Setting your GPS as you set off on a long weekend. Even disciplining squabbling siblings in the back seat. Sound familiar? That's because many people do all of these things while behind the wheel -- and more -- without thinking twice. More important, they often believe that they are still in control of their vehicle at the time and that accidents only happen ...
