Connecticut Kleen Energy Power Plant Explodes
A Kleen Energy gas plant being constructed in the southern Connecticut town of Middletown exploded on Sunday morning around 11:30am. So far the best figures that have been reported say that at least 5 people have died from the incident, while another 12 or more have been injured.
Officials say that the massive explosion isn’t a danger to the public. However, a nearby resident says that the explosion felt like an earthquake, and they could see the orange flames coming from the structure after the loud blast. Someone else who lives about 30 miles away said that they felt it too, but they thought it was just a tree falling nearby.
Sebastian N. Giuliano, the mayor of Middletown, said that the blast came while contractors working at the time were conducting a test. This has ruled out terrorism, but he also noted that it will take a while before they get everything sorted out.
There have been a lot of reports about how many people have been injured or killed from the explosion, but authorities haven’t given any official figures yet. They aren’t sure of the figures themselves and haven’t released any casualty names until they can contact all of the families involved first.
Despite this, there is some good news - officials don’t think anyone is missing. However, rescue teams arrived at the scene to search for anyone that may be trapped in the building. A number of helicopters and ambulances arrived as well, while an alert was given to the local hospitals.

Apple reveals the iPad
Gadget fans around the world can at last stop speculating about Apples latest release, it is called the iPad. We all knew that the computer giant was going to release a tablet computer and yesterday Apple’s chief executive, Steve Jobs showed the world what it would look like and what it will do. He said that the device was somewhere between a smart phone and a laptop and that it would be awesome to watch films on. He added that Apple had managed to give the device a ten-hour battery life meaning that owners could fly half way around the world and watch constant film and television before having to recharge it. Jobs said that everyone was using a lap top and a smart phone these days and that the new tablet design would offer people the best of both worlds. Indeed the iPad looks very much like an oversized iPod.
Apple have said that the iPad will be rolled out to customers around the world by the end of March and the 16GB version should cost somewhere in the region of £308.00 ($499.00). In April the slightly more expensive 3G and Wi-Fi enabled models are due to come out. The tablet weighs in at just one-and-a-half pounds and is half-an-inch thick. It has an on screen keyboard and a twenty-five cm colour screen. As well as being able to listen to music, surf the internet and watch video the iPad will also be a reader. The device has already caused many to speculate that it could radically change the magazine and newspaper market.

Katie Price and Alex Reid Celebrate Wedding Night at Strip Clubs
Katie Price and Alex Reid got married on Tuesday night to the surprise of everyone, including his parents, who said that they are very happy for them. Then afterward they headed out to the strip clubs and then back to their hotel to make a honeymoon baby.
The now newlywed couple went to TeNo for wedding rings before saying their vows. The sales associate there said that they were in a rush. When Alex picked out a set of rings, he asked Katie for her opinion. After telling him which ones she liked, he just agreed with her, the assistant said.
Then they went to Wynn Hotel for the 22-ceremony, after which they went out to party. They went to Spearmint Rhino, which is one of the largest strip club chains in the world, and then went to Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club, where they spent 4 hours in a private room. Katie’s camera crew taped them drinking thousands worth of pink champagne, and they even got a chance to stop by Déjà Vu to grab £2,000 in sex toys.
Afterward, they headed to Planet Hollywood Hotel, where they are staying in a £6,000 per night penthouse suite for the duration of their honeymoon. Katie joked around with press on their way to the hotel, saying that it’s time they started making a honeymoon baby.
Well they won’t have a lot of time for the honeymoon. Rumor has it that Bravo TV doesn’t want Katie to distract Alex while he prepares for his new television show. He will be leaving for India soon, and it’s said she isn’t allowed to go. So instead she will be working in Los Angeles.

Banker wants money back on property which regularly floods
A city analyst has gone to the High Court in order to get his money back on a house he bought on the banks of the River Thames. Dr. Adrian Howd claims that when he paid £1.9 million for the river side property he was unaware that it regularly flooded. The house is called Tides End and has a back garden which gently slopes down to the river. Shortly after moving in Dr. Howd received a phone call from his wife Caroline who was shocked and surprised by the fact that the Thames, instead of being at the bottom of the 140 foot garden, was now outside the back door.
The Howds bought the property from Mr. and Mrs. Console-Verma whose sons attended the same school as their daughters. The Howds claim that they asked whether or not the property ever suffered from flooding because it was so close to the river, the answer to which was apparently a negative. Mr. Console-Verma maintains that he gave an honest answer because his understanding of property was the house itself. He continued that in his mind flooding was associated with homelessness and destruction and that during the time his family had inhabited the property these things had never happened.
Mr. Howd said that he and his wife had thought about trying to sell the house but because the garden tends to flood an average of eighty times every year they would get much less than they originally paid for it. Apparently whenever the Thames rises over 15 feet the garden floods.
