Cruise Night

By KEVIN KOENINGER 

 

MIAMI (CN) – Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines kept a woman under guard in her room for days after her daughter fell overboard and died, and wouldn\’t even let her go to the chapel to pray, the mother claims in court.
Vera Marion claims the cruise line didn\’t even bother to turn the ship around to look for her 21-year-old daughter until 2 hours after she fell overboard.
Marion sued Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines in Federal Court, on her own behalf and for her late daughter, A\’riel Marion.
Vera Marion won the cruise from her employer, as one of its top sales agents.
\”On the night of Sept. 16, 2012, only several hours into the voyage, twenty-one year-old A\’riel Marion somehow fell overboard,\” the complaint states.

April 15, 2013 Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Department of Health today released a Mold Guidelines for New Jersey Residents pamphlet created to provide direction to residents on addressing mold in homes in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. In addition, the Department is announcing a series of training classes in cooperation with the UMDNJ School of Public Health to assist homeowners, volunteers and public health and building code officials in mold removal and assessment. 

\”As New Jersey recovers and rebuilds from Superstorm Sandy, mold and its remediation may become a significant issue for many New Jersey residents,\” said Mary E. O’Dowd, New Jersey Health Commissioner. \”Although molds are common in our environment, mold may become a problem when it grows inside homes. These guidelines were developed to better inform homeowners on how to ensure their homes are cleaned and remediated properly to avoid mold problems now and in the future.\”

PRESS RELEASE APRIL 16

Remarks given by Special Agent in Charged Richard DesLauriers at press conference.

I would like to start this morning by thanking the first responders from Boston EMS and Boston Fire Department and the volunteer physicians, nurses, and medical staff from the community who volunteered at the marathon. Their services and heroic actions saved lives yesterday afternoon.

We continue to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] partners and the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts State Police, as well as all of the other JTTF agencies.

Our mission is clear—to bring to justice those responsible for the marathon bombing.

 

Newswise — Get more sleep. Have another cup of coffee before you drive to school or work. It could save your life.

A 100-car naturalistic driving study conducted by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute has shown that fatigue is a cause of 20 percent of crashes, rather than the 2 or 3 percent previously estimated based on surveys, simulator studies, and test tracks.
