titanic

A guy from Australia named Clive Palmer, who is a billionaire, said that he will spend his money on a replica ship of the Titanic. A Chinese shipyard CSC Jinling is going to build the ship. Palmer said "It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic, but ... will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems," Palmer said in a statement. He called the project "a tribute to the spirit of the men and women who worked on the original Titanic." It is expected to be done around late 2016 and take a voyage from England to New York, like the other one was suppose to.

the river ;)

A small town near Madison Wisconsin named Mazomanie is under investigation because of nudity on public land by the rivers. Last year the DNR watched the land for nine days, and say that they have seen everything from oral sex to marijuana smoking. They arrested 26 people for drugs and other things ;)   The DNR cut out trees and underbrush so it wasn’t as secluded and there wasn’t any privacy.  People are mad because the law isn’t making this a priority.  The DNR started closing the park, in the 90’s, from 8 pm. till 6 am. They also put a gate across the road to block the cars in hopes that people wouldn’t go down to the river for some adult r-rated fun time.

jobs

Last week, the unemployment rate jumped to its highest since January. On Thursday, the Labor Department showed 380,000 new people filed for jobless benefits. That is up 13,000 people from last week. Analysts say it is because of the Easter holiday, and it is the second straight week of increased numbers. High oil prices and uncertainties about the United States economy add to the stress of finding a job, and being able to support their families. "Altogether, the trends in initial jobless claims appear to have flattened out in recent weeks, consistent with the softer rate of payroll growth in the March employment report," said Michael Gapen of Barclays Capital Research in a note to clients. "We look to coming claims reports to see if this is a pause in the broader downward trend, or signs of something more durable in nature."
