First, the National Weather Service addresses the work of the National Hurricane Center "to save lives, mitigate property loss, and improve economic efficiency by issuing the best watches, warnings, forecasts and analyses of hazardous tropical weather, and by increasing understanding of these hazards" (1). At this vast website, users can find satellite imagery, current and archived advisories, hurricane awareness information, and much more. FEMA created the second site to inform the public about the hazards of hurricanes (2 ). After discovering the physical characteristics of hurricanes, visitors can find information about hurricane threats and the proper steps to take before, during, and after the storm. The third website, developed by the University of Illinois, discusses a hurricane's stages of development, structure, and movement (3). Users can follow past tropical cyclone activities and explore a 3-D hurricane. Next, the Miami Museum of Science furnishes a fun site where children can essentially travel inside a hurricane (4 ). Families who have experienced a hurricane will benefit from the Healing Quilt link and the family survivor stories. The fifth website, created by USA Today, provides the general public with the latest hurricane news, storm science, and safety (5). Visitors can view graphics of how hurricanes are created and can submit their hurricane questions to the site. Next, Florida State University supplies the latest advisories and forecasts for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean (6). Users can view images of the hurricanes and find a history of Florida hurricane landfalls. Environment Canada produced the seventh web site to educate children about how hurricanes form, how they work, and where they go (7). Students can learn how El Niño affects hurricanes. Lastly, the National Geographic presents children with an exciting article about the work of hurricane hunters (8). Users can view images of storm winds, paths, and damage.

Enviromental absorbant products manufacturer, Dyn-O-Mat claims to have removed a cloud from Doppler radar and intends to test their product on a hurricane. They have a p atent and everything. The federal government spent two decades on Project Stormfury, an attempt to halt storms by 'seeding' the eyewall of a hurricane. This guy says we are already doing it with the militaries High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. Even if we're not doing it now, we'll definately by own the weather by 2025. That is, unless we're intentionally causing storms.

In an interview with C|NET, Steve Jobs says that the .Mac renewal rate was 86-87%, a stunning figure. Jobs points out that many critics claimed that no one would pay the full $99 price for Apple's suite of web services, but it turns out just the opposite is true. The renewal rate, he says, is "unheard of, higher than almost anybody's. We've built ourselves the beginnings of a pretty good Internet services business."

Hurricanes Don't Stop Spammers

Hurricanes Don't Stop Spammers 09/16/2004 05:14 PM
For years, the refrain has been that many spammers seem to make their home in Florida, so when a few people noticed their spam levels dropping recently, they assumed it must be due to all those hurricanes in Florida. So are spammers shutting down their servers and evacuating? Business Week doesn't think so, though, a few of the spamming operations they contacted in Florida did admit to taking a few days off. Still, it looks like there was barely a dent in overall spam production, and there are clearly enough spammers elsewhere to pick up the slack.

Man phones in tag renewal, avoids the
tow 12/08/2003 11:38 AM
A man who'd been pulled ver for driving with expired tags called a friend while the tow was on the way and had the firend update his registration online. Before the tow arrived, the car had been registered, and the cop let him go with a ticket.

Leach took the renewal form the commission had sent him from his visor, which contained the access code he needed to renew. While Zier issued the summons and ordered the tow, Leach called a friend who took his credit card number and other information and renewed the registration for him, Conry said.

When Zier came back with the ticket, Leach told him the car was now registered. The computer inside Zier's patrol car confirmed it.

Henrico turns down iBook lease renewal,

Henrico County, Va.'s school board has turned down an offer by Apple to renew and extend its lease on 18,000 iBooks currently in use throughout the school system's secondary grades, reports the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The sticking point was the cost of an opt-out agreement, according to the report. For the short term, this simply means that students returning to Henrico County schools for the 2004 - 2005 academic year will use the same iBooks they had last year.
