Florida prison numbers goes up so do tents
With prisons getting increasingly crowded, Florida is preparing to house inmates in tents. Numbers released Thursday by the government confirmed what state officials already knew, prisons are getting squeezed for space, with Florida locking up more new inmates last year than any other state.
Government statistics show the overall Florida prison population increased by 5,250 inmates in 2007. The growth is more than twice the number of the next closest state, Kentucky. The state's current prison population is now nearing 100,000 inmates.
So far, the state has set up 36 tents in prisons around the state. The tents, which cost $9,000 each, can each house up to 22 prisoners.

New York man wears sandwich board pleading for job
A former businessman has taken to the streets of New York wearing a sandwich board pleading for a job opportunity as the financial crisis hits the middle classes.
The image of desperate job seekers on street corners is associated with the darkest days of the Great Depression.
However, the scene has become a reality once again as America suffers a deep recession that has left millions out of work.
Paul Nawrocki, 59, took to the streets after nine months of fruitless searching for a new job, with a sandwich board that reads: "Almost Homeless. Looking for employment. Very experienced operations and administration manager.
"Desperately seeking full-time employment with insurance benefits. For self and family. Disabled wife on 15 medications."

.Shanghai China daytime love of nightwear
.
A local community in Shanghai has set its sights on one of urban China's most intractable social problems: the wearing of pyjamas in public.
The neighborhood committee – a volunteer outpost of the Communist Party – in the city's north-eastern district of Rixin has decided that wearing pyjamas in the street should be discouraged. "We're telling people not to wear pyjamas in the street because it looks very uncivilized,"
