breakingnews:

The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Australian billionaire mining magnate Clive Palmer has unveiled plans to build the Titanic II.

Palmer said his new company Blue Star Line Pty Ltd had commissioned the state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard to build a near replica of the ill-fated Titanic in China. The cost is unknown.

The ship’s maiden voyage from England to North America is scheduled for late 2016.

VCU student Sai Iyer has been chosen as 1 of only 35 national co-chairs for Obama’s re-election campaign. He’s the youngest on the list, and he’s the only student. Who else is on the list. Oh yeah, just Eva Longoria and several state governors. Who said basketball was all VCU had going for it?

Sergeant Siok and Chief John Venuti from the VCU Police hold the new safety devices they are handing out to students this semester.
