Class-action lawsuit filed against Carnival
Corp. in Triumph cruise

A class action lawsuit has been filed against
Carnival Corporation surrounding the events that
crippled the cruise ship Triumph in the Gulf of
Mexico. Matt and Melissa Crusan alleged in their
lawsuit that "Carnival knew or should have known
that the vessel Triumph was likely to experience
mechanical and/or engine issues because of prior
similar issues." The lawsuit alleged that
conditions on the ship "created a severe risk of
injury, illness and/or disease. The case was
filed this week in U.S. District Court in the
southern district of Florida. On February 7, the
Triumph departed from Galveston, Texas, for
planned four-day cruise to Mexico, but on the
third day, a fire broke out, bringing the trip to
a halt. The vessel was carrying more than 4,200
people and conditions became unsanitary as human
waste overflowed into public spaces on the ship.

• We're all doodlers by nature. Give most people a
  pen, paper and some down time, and they'll fill
  the margins with the fruits of their imagination.
  But imagine if you could wave a pen in the air
  and create a three-dimensional rendering A toy,
  a sculpture, a crude architectural model. Soon
  you will. A Boston-based startup, WobbleWorks,
  has created what they are calling the world's
  first 3-D printing pen. It's called the 3Doodler,
  and it's been a sensation on Kickstarter, the
  crowdfunding site, since it debuted there Tuesday
  morning. The 3Doodler plugs into an electrical
  outlet and works sort of like a glue gun. As the
  pen draws, it oozes heated plastic, which quickly
  cools and solidifies, allowing its user to build
  an infinite variety of patterns and shapes. Its
  makers say it works on surfaces or in the air.
