Emily Woods, solicitor at national law firm Berrymans Lace Mawer LLP, summarises the implications of the collapse of Holidays4U for the rest of the industry.
"The collapse of Holidays4U last week and the recent profit warning and subsequent resignation of the chief executive of Thomas Cook has once again re-focused attention on the fragility of the travel industry and brought the issue of the proposed changes to increase consumer protection to the fore.
As a travel provider offering flights as part of a package holiday, the 12,000 Holidays4U customers stranded abroad are protected under the Civil Aviation Authority's (CAA) Air Travel Organisers" Licensing (ATOL) protection scheme.
The ATOL scheme protects people who buy package holidays that include a flight, through UK tour operators. Where consumers have booked a complete air holiday package, if the holiday operator collapses, customers will be able to complete their holidays if abroad and receive reimbursement of their cancelled holidays if they are yet to travel.
In excess of 20 travel providers have become insolvent over the last year and many consumers are finding out that they are not so lucky. More than half of the travelling UK public travel are consumers without (in full or in part) ATOL protection, having booked their flights directly with an airline, or through an independent online travel agent. They mistakenly believe that their dynamic "package" provides the same financial protection as a package holiday - however, if the travel company or airline fails, consumers face having to pay again for accommodation and flights home, and will not be able to claim a refund from the CAA.
The proposed reforms to ATOL which are meant to bring clarity to consumers and extend protection are therefore being scrutinised, prior to the end of the consultation period on 15 September 2011. The proposals are to:
• Include within ATOL protection, a new category of 'Flight Plus' holidays, comprising a flight and other key holiday components brought together within two successive days (akin to dynamic packaging);
• Change the documentation issued to consumers so that they are clear when they have booked an ATOL protected holiday and receive a standardised ATOL certificate at the time of booking confirming their rights for refunds and repatriation under the scheme, should their travel provider fail.
There are concerns that the proposed reforms do not go far enough to offer adequate protection, and there are calls to extend protection for all holidays however they are booked (including airlines who sell other holiday components, UK holidays, and "click-through" sales).
Agents are reacting differently to the current period of turmoil. A large independent online agent is responding to customer"s requests for greater protection by implementing the Flight Plus ethos already - it has ensured ATOL protection is in place, alongside trust arrangements approved by CAA and ABTA, in order that flight only, room only, and flight plus bookings are financially fully protected.
Other agents are considering ways to avoid ATOL costs and Flight-Plus. With concerns that they will end up out of pocket under Flight-Plus as they will be initially liable for all elements of the sale if any of the suppliers they use (including flights, accommodation and car hire) collapse, many agents are reflecting whether to become "agents for the consumer" (although the government does seem determined to crack down on those who seek to bypass consumer protection regulations by acting as this), register the company outside the EU, or even split up companies so that there are less than 10 employees (there is a moratorium on any new regulations until 2014 for business employing less than 10 staff).
In an industry where competition is fierce and the need to minimise costs is as important as ever in these economic times, any proposed changes that will increase costs for the industry are likely to be resisted and we expect there to be significant further consultation and comment before any proposals are finalised. As ever, travel providers have to maintain a difficult balance between customer and shareholder satisfaction.

text: 1Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA 2Department of Meteorology and Bert Bolin Centre for Climate Research, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden Abstract. The early Eocene "equable climate problem", i.e. warm extratropical annual mean and above-freezing winter temperatures evidenced by proxy records, has remained as one of the great unsolved problems in paleoclimate. Recent progress in modeling and in paleoclimate proxy development provides an opportunity to revisit this problem to ascertain if the current generation of models can reproduce the past climate features without extensive modification. Here we have compiled early Eocene terrestrial temperature data and compared with climate model results using a consistent and rigorous methodology. We test the hypothesis that equable climates can be explained simply as a response to increased greenhouse gas forcing within the framework of the atmospheric component of the Community Climate System Model (version 3), a climate model in common use for predicting future climate change. We find that, with suitably large radiative forcing, the model and data are in general agreement for annual mean and cold month mean temperatures, and that the pattern of high latitude amplification recorded by proxies can be largely, but not perfectly, reproduced.

The Zombies have come! Eat your fill of brains to become the fattest zombie. Only then will they call you King! Read more
The Zombies have come! Eat your fill of brains to become the fattest zombie. Only then will they call you King!
About this project
Fat Zombie is a funny little dice game, a game that melded two of our favorite pastimes: rolling dice and eating. Combined, they form an easy, fun-to-play game about trying to eat as many people as possible to become the fattest zombie! For once you become the fattest zombie... then you shall be King! Why King? Zombies don't care about money, political power or fundraising; they only care about brains. Not even the quality of brain eaten, merely the quantity.
So you and your friends (2-4) set out upon the grandest adventure: to eat as many brains as possible from the hapless humans! But be wary, for the humans are not without the means to defend themselves, and the fattest zombie may soon become the dead undead!
Playing Fat Zombie only takes about twenty minutes, even if you have never played the game. You and your friends are Zombies that wander the streets, looking for delicious brains! On your turn, you draw the top card of the deck and play it for all to see. You will then roll the die to see if you eat the human, if he escapes(Allows another Zombie to try) or hides(back into the deck), or if he kills you! For example, on Colonel Grampa (pictured below), if you roll a 1, 3, or a 5, he kills you, forcing you to discard all of your cards and start over!
However, if you roll 'BRAAAINS!!!' then you eat the human! When this happens, you get access to their Osmosis Skill. You have absorbed some facet of your victim by eating their brain. The more humans you eat, the more Osmosis Skills you gain!
In addition to the humans you will find, you can gain Zombie Power ups! These cards are one use special powers, so use them wisely.
But Dice of March! How do I win the game? [you ask]
Well, [insert name here], that's simple! The game ends when there are no cards left in the deck! The Zombie who has eaten the most brains is the smartest Zombie. That Zombie wins the game and is crowned King!
Gameplay Features
When you meet a human, you can roll...
• BRAAAINS!!!: You have caught and eaten the human. You have devoured its brain and acquired its unique skill!
• HIDES!: The human has hidden somewhere (that is, the bottom of the deck). It is safe... for now!
• ESCAPES!: The human has escaped you. Your fellow zombies now get a chance to eat it!
• DIES!: The human has met its untimely end, before you got to eat it!
• KILLS!: The human has fought you off and killed you... dead-er. Keep playing, this time as another, skinnier zombie--a zombie out for revenge!
Power-up cards can give you additional skills, items, and tricks you can use to raise the stakes or even save your zombie undead life!
Who will eat the most humans and become the ultimate Fat Zombie???

Risks and challenges
We promise you, our backers and supporters, to deliver a quality game, and to use your money and faith in us to deliver future great games.
But our risks do not come from the challenge of creating a quality game, but rather ensuring we will continue to do so in the future. As with any business venture, it has its risks and challenges, but we have four dedicated, fun-loving gamers, along with the support of our friends, and, most importantly, our backers.
This will be our third game (if funded), and we wanted to try something a little smaller. Each of our Kickstarter projects has taught us something. Our first game, Asylum, was all about trying to make our own game, seeing how people would respond, and learning how to produce and ship a card game. With Pirate's Booty, our second game, we worked to refine the process, to test new methods and to perfect old ones. For Fat Zombie we wanted to try a simple game; each game had grown in complexity, and we wanted to scale back and try something simple.
As always, our advantage is that we are a team of people with the ability to work together or delegate smaller tasks of a larger problem. We are dedicated to making Fat Zombie a reality!
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
The base deck is 47 cards, rules card and a dice. However, there are 3 Bonus that can be unlocked via Stretch Goals taking the deck size to 50. We also may be adding 3 additional cards in future updates, so keep your eyes open for that!
A game of Fat Zombie usually takes about 20 minutes to play, even if it is your first time playing!
The game plays easily with 1 to 8 players. For the single player experience it's all about beating your score of how many brains you eat, for 6 and above players we have a few extra rules. Mainly that Escaping humans never really escape...there are just so many of you all they can do is run to the bottom of the deck!
Of course! Just add $15 (per copy) to your pledge.
If you are a designer zombie backer just add 10$ per copy, but if add a extra 5$ per 3 decks we send you for Shipping and Handling please!

This Is Bluegrass
From Bill Monroe to Alison Krauss with Tom Henderson. "This is Bluegrass" Started in April of 1971 in Tampa Florida and syndication started very soon after. Tom has produced over 2 dozen Bluegrass Festivals in the State of Florida, has had a band since 1970 and started a band for youngsters in 1980 called the Bluegrass Parlor Band. The band started as an out spring of of the Bluegrass Parlor, a Bluegrass shop and venue for many groups passing through Florida. The Parlor has hosted groups like the Country Gentlemen, Ralph Stanley, James King, Larry Sparks and dozens more before closing in 2007, young Miss Sierra Hull was the last band to play at the Parlor. Very fitting considering Tom's work in bringing youngsters to Bluegrass. Literally hundreds of bands have passed through the Parlor during it's almost 30 years of operation. Today Tom is semi retired, but still does "This is Bluegrass" and produces inside venues for Bluegrass groups. Tom Henderson is a guy who has always loved music played with simple instruments and sung in mournful Southern accents.

Post-Rotation, what do you think the deck of choice will be for blue players, Faeries/Wizards or NLU? They both have their advantages and drawbacks, but I really like NLU - mainly for the reason that the fetchland fixing will be gone, and you're going to have to play additional colors to support Explosives anyways (likely red and green).

I can't believe I am having this much trouble. I watched the youtube vidios and read all I could find. I have a Coleman xtreme cooler with a drain. I took it apart and measured the hole, 1". I bought a ball valve and a 1"union. The problem I am having is trying to make the connections on the inside of the cooler. I have the copper tubing to make the manifold but am having an unbelievable time trying to make the connection from the manifold to the union. I want to use a small piece of copper tubing to join the manifold to the union. Well, looks like a 60 mile round trip to do some more looking. As long as I am there a stop at LHBS for the ingrediants for my first AG brew, a Bee Cave Haus Ale. I just can't believe these parts are that hard to find!
I have a thread in DIY about a 5 gal MLT...It shows how to do it... You need a 1/2" FPT by 1/2 tube copper fitting...* I sweated a 1/2" MPT by 1/2 tube copper fitting to one end and screwed the same fitting in the other end... That leaves a 1/2" MPT sticking out of the cooler and 1/2 tube sticking in the cooler.. A tight fitting manifold holds everything in place... The female fittings I found at Home Cheapo worked...* The ones at OSH are slightly larger and did not fit...
I have the same rig. I went to Menards and bought hose that fit into the drain tightly. No need to take the drain out or modify it at all. Just warm up the hose in hot water and work it through the hole. Never leaks. Just converted my 48 qt. cooler to the 70 qt. extreme cooler in about 5 minutes. The best part is if you need the cooler this summer just pull the hose out, shut the plug and it's a cooler again. When you're ready to brew just insert the hose back in the drain and connect your stainless braid, or what ever you're using, and your mash tun is back in action. I found a PEX valve that fit the hose perfectly as well. ~$3 and a couple hose clamps. It can't get any easier than that!! :-)
If Homebrew & BBQ aren't the answer, then you're askin' the wrong questions... Cheers!!!
I use the 70qt Xtreme and got don't have a leak problem. I'm at work now so I'll take pics later of my set-up. If I recall I have a 1/2" male threaded nipple that extends thru the cooler wall. The inside of the cooler has the rubber washer that came with the cooler, followed by a 7/8" stainless washer that is pressed against the cooler wall with a female 1/2" threaded copper fitting . The copper fitting screws onto the threaded coupling pressing the stainless washer against the rubber washer. On the outside I have a 1/2" female x female threaded brass coupling that screws onto the other side of the threaded coupling extending thru the cooler wall. This gives the leverage needed on the outside of the cooler to keep pressure against the washers on the inside (and also gives enough distance from the cooler so that the ball valve handle doesn't hit the cooler). Another 1/2" male threaded nipple with a brass ball valve and 1/2" brass barb completes the set up. I have a 1/2" copper manifold and I didn't solder it, just dry fit. I built it tight to the sides so that when you put it in place it has very little room to move and fits into the copper coupling nicely. I'll take pics later tonight, this post is probably confusing to read
OK...here's the inside Here's the inside fitting, a female copper coupling pressing a stainless washer against the rubber grommet that was part of the factory cooler spigot all attached to a threaded brass nipple. Here's the outside of the fixture, a brass coupling screws onto the brass threaded nipple that extends out thru the cooler wall, another threaded nipple and brass ball valve. Here's a shot of the manifold...I made the slits with a metal cutoff wheel on a Rotozip.
Here's a shot of the manifold in the mashtun... Here's another...closer look. And another... The ball valve is solid and doesn't have much play. No leaks at any of the fittings. The interior manifold fits snug with about 1/4" to spare on either end and am able to move it around for a tight fit. Nothing soldered, all of it is dry fit and disassembled after use. easy smeasy. If I ever do fly sparging, I'll be removing the two lengths of manifold pipe along the outer walls and just putting copper caps on the ends of the connecting pipes to prevent channeling down the side of the cooler wall (which I have witnessed while batch sparging). Thats how I did it, hope this helps someone.
Looks like about how mine is, but I used cpvc. And put epoxy in the cooler hole before I tightened it seems to be good. works well. Jack
Thanks for the help guys Illin8-That is the setup I am trying to make,yours looks good. I hadn't thought about the second nipple outside of the cooler,a better idea then mine. I am having a hard time finding the threaded copper reducer on the inside, We are going to a larger town today for some other things so I will get to look again.
The second nipple keeps the valve out away from hitting the cooler too. The 1/2" female threaded coupling is fairly easy to find at any big box retailer...you may have to look hard at a local hardware store though.

Fleet Assault cruiser refit build
I have a few questions about my build as Engineer captain of Fleet AC refit. I've made my profile on Skill planner for easier view. http://skillplanner.stoacademy.com/?...eltawhite_3733 I know my skill points are ****, because I used them when I didn't know a thing about STO. I will get a retraining token soon. I would appreciate any suggestion you might have. I mainly just PvE. My DOFF setup: 2x purple conn off, 2x blue shield distribution off and 1x warp core enginner( the one that gives extra when using emergency power ) I currently use Omega torpedo for 3p bonus, but since that 3rd bonus isn't really that good I might consider using some other torpedo. Any suggestions? Also what kind of beam arrays do you preffer for PvE? Thanks in advance |
Most stuff looks in order to me. A few points:
I wouldn't rely on Engi Team 3, especially as you have Aux2SIF3. It also conflicts with Tac Team. You could replace this with EptW3, or Warp plasma 2, or DEM, or another RSP... Consider getting 3 damage control engineers, which will reduce the cooldown on your emergency powers, so you only need 1 copy of each. You could get rid of the shield dist doff, and one of the conn officers. Another approach is the aux2bat with purple technicians, but that requires a bit of investment as the doffs are getting more expensive. For torpedoes, I would always recommend the wide angle torp, and hopefully you bought the Assault Refit. This torp means you do not have to break broadsides. You have invested well into AP beams already and I see no reason to switch, unless you decide to go PvP. |
This is my tanking build and does over 10k dps. http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skil...sbeamboat_2920
Go Romulan, Disruptor or Plasma, in that order. Along with embassy sci consoles to increase plasma damage in the case of the 1st and 3rd choice. Disruptor proc is biggest damage increase of any weapon proc and it helps your team's dps and not just yourself. |

Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain to remain closed until February
by Leah ZanollaOct 1, 2013
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland has been closed since January for a major refurbishment. A completely new track has been laid, and even the Rainbow Ridge Mining Town at the base of the mountain is getting a remodel. The attraction was scheduled to reopen this month, but has been pushed back until at least February.
Back in April, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Heath conducted a review of several attractions as a result of an incident in November where an outside contractor slipped on the roof of Space Mountain. As a result of their findings, Disneyland voluntarily closed several of their attractions to make adjustments to any unenclosed elevated work areas. Big Thunder Mountain was already in the midst of their refurbishment, so Disney decided to take this opportunity to add some fixes to several access paths at the attraction.
This initiative has caused the reopening date to be pushed back three and a half months.

Oh so Easter-basket pretty! And yet ever so simple, just hard-boiled eggs soaked overnight in beet juice. Don't worry, soaking transfers beet color, not beet flavor.
Cooking eggs should be simple. Hard-boiled eggs may "look" simple but they can be tricky to cook. The eggs can turn out too soft (undercooked) or too hard and crumbly (overcooked) or ringed with green (cooked improperly) or impossible to peel (probably too fresh). For each problem, someone supplies a list of tricks aka solutions. No more.
I clipped this "perfect hard-boiled eggs every time" recipe so long ago there's no memory of its source. But this technique (a recipe for hard-cooked eggs? I suppose it's that!) creates perfect hard-boil eggs. Every time. With both fresh eggs (which are said to be still trickier) and older eggs. The trick is to live by the clock for precision timing is the key. Get out your timer!
UPDATE I dye cooked eggs with natural beet juice every Easter now. At first, people kind of freak out, then, when they realize they taste just the same as regular eggs, they're crazy for them, because they're just eggs, not deviled eggs. (This is how I make Deviled Eggs, just a simple garnish takes deviled eggs from so-so to spectacular.) Enjoy!
Place 6 eggs (or as many as will fit) in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water plus an inch.
Bring the water to boil on HIGH. (Here, I set the timer for 5 minutes and carry on with whatever I'm doing so long as it's within hearing of the timer. The water won't be boiling when the timer goes off but is close to boiling so I hang close and pay close attention.)
Prepare the ice bath. This is 2 - 3 cups of ice cubes in a large bowl, filled with cold water but leaving room for the eggs.
Just as the water begins to boil, let it boil hard for 1 minute – set the timer!
Turn off the heat (remove from the element if it's an electric stove) but do not drain. Cover the saucepan and let sit for 10 minutes – set the timer!
Drain the eggs and gently lower them into the ice bath. (I usually gently lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon into a colander that fits into the bowl of ice water, then settle the colander into the ice, being sure to cover the eggs completely.) Let cool for 5 minutes – set the timer!
Peel. That's it!
Soak the peeled eggs in a bowl of canned beet juice for 24 hours.
For PICKLED Ruby Eggs, soak the peeled eggs in a bowl of PICKLED beet juice for 24 hours. (I haven't actually done this but a reader/commenter suggests it.)
Use up the beets themselves with easy and handy refrigerator pickles called Swedish Beets or the delicious Secret-Ingredient Wine & Fruit Salad.
When slicing, wipe off the knife after each egg, it will help prevent the beet color staining the edges of the yolk.
After slicing, the beet color starts to leech into the yolk after a couple of hours, time accordingly.
Because the eggs are peeled, they won't last forever like hard-cooked eggs still in their shells. I'd plan to use within 48 hours.

Don't ban Bossy, ban Beyonce
Sheryl Sandberg, author of Lean In and Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, has a line in her book that states "I want every little girl who's told she's bossy to be told instead that she has leadership skills." As you have probably heard by now, her Lean In organization and the Girl Scouts of America have teamed up with various celebrities and some other well-known female figures to urge us to ban the use of the word bossy. As part of their "public service" campaign they have released a short ad featuring these women lecturing us about how they were called bossy and other names as children and therefore we should "ban bossy." The "Ban Bossy – I'm Not Bossy. I'm the Boss" video has gone viral while stirring up some controversy along the way. It has now been viewed over 2,250,000 times on Youtube. Continue reading

Updated: July 3, 2008, 1:46 PM ET
Associated Press
FRANKFURT, Germany -- Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman has received German citizenship and will team up with Dirk Nowitzki for Germany at an Olympic qualifying tournament later this month.
Kaman, whose great-grandparents were German, averaged 15.7 points and 12.7 rebounds last season with the Clippers.
The 7-foot Kaman will add size to a German team seeking to qualify for its first Olympics since the 1992 Barcelona Games.

I need some help/advice on how to PT my DS. He tells me after he has gone and even brings me a diaper. I'm not sure even where to start potty training. I bought him a potty chair around 18 months, and he has peed on it, but I think it was just good timing.
I work, but DS comes with me to the office. It's hard because we are on the go a lot.
He turns 2 on Thursday and I'm hoping to have him potty trained by Christmas. Any advice?

LONDON, December 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Microsoft makes major NGO donation, Skills Connect scores Red Herring prize and Tipard updates MXF software
Microsoft has further developed its charitable activities, after making a $75million investment in non-profit non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that provide deprived children and educators in developing nations with access to technology.
The new donation comes in addition to the renewal of a $250million, five-year investment plan for the "Microsoft Partners in Learning" program, which helps hundreds of thousands of people in deprived areas to access technology-based learning on a day-to-day basis. Six NGOs will help to allocate the funds, with a number of national, international and religious groups helping to determine the areas that are most in need of help.
Africa is set to be a major focus of the additional funds this year, with the leader of one NGO noting that "digital skills development can be vital in securing economic growth" for developing nations. The vast majority of the funds will be used to develop the existing capabilities of educational establishments across the world.
Skills Connect, an innovative cloud based recruitment firm, has won the 2012 Red Herring 100 Global Award, recognising its place at the forefront of the digital recruitment market.
The award was given based on an extensive investigation into the company's achievements across a number of fields, including financial performance and technological innovation; it swiftly follows a similar award given to the company in Asia.
Skills Connect was recognised as leading the way in providing cutting edge solutions for the corporate headhunting market, with Red Herring pointing out the "dramatic impact" that the company has had on the recruitment landscape. According to CEO Bradley Birchall, "it's a fantastic achievement to be recognised as a global leader by industry peers in such a competitive business and technology environment".
Tipard Studio, a Chinese-based multimedia software development company, has announced the launch of its updated MXF Converter software, improving the speed and widening the ability of video decoders.
The new release enables those who take video on a number of high-end digital cameras and camcorders to convert their MXF files into a more easily editable format, allowing users to edit their film with the more popular Windows Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere. The software also adds the capability of converting files into those suitable for playback across a number of portable devices, including the Apple iPad and Kindle Fire.

By Yeshim Deniz The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality.

Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

Former Green Beret Stays Online in Katrinas Wake
Former Green Beret Stays Online in Katrinas Wake
Gene Koprowski
Posted 2005-09-07
The former Special Operations soldier is also filing blog reports from New Orleans' devastated downtown area.
A former Army Green Beret, and colleagues at a Web hosting service, are holed up in a commercial building in downtown New Orleans, with weeks of food and water and a diesel-powered electric generator, struggling to keep a segment of the Internet from going offline because of Hurricane Katrina, Ziff Davis Internet has learned. The former Special Operations soldier with the U.S. Army also is filing reports from the scene in the devastated downtown area of the Big Easy at
which he calls the "Survival of New Orleans Blog." Michael Barnett, now crisis manager at Directnic.com, tells Ziff Davis Internet that his firm runs a data center where 2 percent of the Internet is hosted on the companys servers.
"We host Web pagesbusinesses," said Barnett in an interview conducted via AOL Instant Messenger on Wednesday. "We have to stay up. We go down, and so does 2 percent of the Internet."
Barnett says he spent two years in the Army infantry, and an additional six with the 20th Special Forces Group, which is now based at Birmingham, Ala. Like others with a similar background, Barnett has been trained for long-duration, indirect activities including guerrilla warfare and other low visibility, or clandestine operations. This has helped him, his colleaguesand his fiancée, who is staying with him at an undisclosed commercial site in downtown New Orleansstay online, even though the mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, ordered the city evacuated, and is using the military and police to enforce the order.
The Weblog reads like a report from war-torn Sudan or another Third World hotspot. "Theres a massive police staging area on Canal Street right by the casino," wrote Barnett on Tuesday at 12:16 p.m. "The 82nd Airborne is here in force. Theyre patrolling the city. Theres a massive military staging area near the Convention Center by the I-10. The helicopter traffic is the most Ive seen since I was stationed at Ft. Hood." In addition to reports from the streets, Barnett is also reporting on how some businesses are getting power, like the Pan Am Building, "just down the street." The DoubleTree hotel also reportedly has power again, he reported Monday.

The authorities did come to the data center Tuesday nightU.S. Marshals Service and Army Airborne to "investigate the lights and movement" in their office, said Barnett. After learning of the 34-year-olds military background, they retreated, however. Barnett said that the evacuation is probably a good idea for most. "Its probably necessary if theres E. coli in the water and a chance for Hep A and Hep B," Barnett told Ziff Davis Internet. But he and his colleagues have "tons of supplies, and were safe." Other ISPs and Web hosting providersthough not positioned at ground zero of the catastropheare helping get other blogs reporting about Katrina online. A volume of Katrina "domain names" have been purchased in recent days, Natasha Grach, a spokeswoman for Aplus.Net, a Web hosting service based in San Diego. One of the biggest groups interested in setting up Web sites and blogs is lawyers, Bob Sadowski, a spokesman for LexisNexis, the online news retrieval service. "We are setting up individual blogs for law firms to facilitate in-firm communication and location of individuals and families," said Sadowski. A number of public information officers at universities and colleges in the South are working with the online service profnet to set up "temporary enrollment for college students displaced by the hurricane," Skip Traynor, a spokesman for Alma College, told Ziff Davis Internet. Even film director Michael Moore is using the Internet to foster disaster recovery efforts. He is sending instructions to his followers as to how to ship paper plates, towels, food and school supplies to disaster survivors through VFPRoadTrips.org. "If you cant ship these items, or go there in person, the go to VFPRoadTrips.org and make an immediate donation via PayPal," wrote Moore, who is calling the hurricane a "man-made disaster." The folks of Directnic at the building in downtown New Orleans, Barnett and colleagues, including CEO Sigmund Solares and Donny Simonton, senior vice president, seem to be the most dramatic Internet-related Katrina story for now, though. The blog Barnett runs, originally called the Interdictor, was built before the hurricane, but was repurposed, and the old content was removed after the disaster. During the last five days, the site has generated 2.5 million hits, from all over the globe. Barnett is receiving 100 IMs per minute "at peak hours," he said. When asked how long the group can survive there, Barnett, with military matter-of-factness, simply said, "weeks."
