May 1 (Bloomberg) -- The Canadian dollar fell the most in more than six weeks on speculation the weakening economy will force the central bank to further cut borrowing costs as the U.S. Federal Reserve may stop reducing its key rate.Canada's dollar declined versus 14 of the 16 most-traded currencies after a report yesterday showed the economy contracted in February and Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said he'll probably need to lower interest rates again after four reductions since December.

US jobless rate falls. Yes, you heard it right! US unemployment rate dropped to 5 percent according to US Labor Department. Ain't bad though. Recently, we've been hearing a lot of job hiring freeze, companies cutting bonuses and retrenchment by various big companies, but this news came very surprising to most jobseekers and curious followers. According to reports, for the fourth month in a row, the economy lost jobs, the Labor Department reported Friday. But in April the losses totaled 20,000, an improvement from the 81,000 reductions in payrolls logged in March. Job losses for both February and March turned out to be a bit deeper than previously reported. This might be ironic or unconvincing to everyone, but this news surely gave hope to everyone that America is really coping up.

Swim On The Verge Of The Victoria Falls.Swimming on the verge of the Victoria Falls is something you shouldn't miss if you happen to be around this place, especially during the months of September & December.Its during these months, flow is at a safe level, & people can swim as close as possible to the verge of the falls within the swimming pool. And this is made possible due to a natural rock wall, which is just below the water & at the very verge of the falls that stops their progress despite the current. The Victoria Falls is situated in southern Africa between the countries of Zambia & Zimbabwe, with height of 108 meters (360 ft), forming the largest sheet of falling water in the world & is one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world.

As if on cue, the Bangor Daily News applauds Sen.

Forget the fact that we burn through an equivalent amount of money every fifty days at the occupation's current force strength.Still, the junior senator is spinning this as an important policy change.Look: There's nothing wrong with having Iraq pay for our fuel.

UBS, the World’s second largest currency trader, released commentary on Wednesday which read for a better outlook for the U.S encouraging investors to buy the dollar against the Euro as the U.S economy will recover from a “mild recession” in the second half of 2008, whilst hinting that Europe has probably peaked.

Despite a report from the Gran Canaria Tourist Board that notes a slight decrease in tourism numbers in the Canaries last year, the Tenerife holidays and hotels industry is optimistic. So optimistic in fact, that Tenerife continues to grant building permits to developers of new hotels in anticipation of 2008 tourism dollars. One of the latest additions is the Dutch owned Luz del Mar hotel. Residents and business owners in the Los Silos area of Tenerife are hopeful that the small hotel will stimulate travel in the northern part of Tenerife. Historically, the southern coast of the island receives more visitors, and hence more tourism dollars, than the north coast. This trend has shifted though, at least somewhat, in the last decade.
