     FEATURED WEB SITE OF THE DAY
     
     Ashes and Snow
     http://www.ashesandsnow.org/
     
     A  man  sinks through water as an elephant swims above him.  A
     cheetah and a solemn young boy perch on a rock. A girl and  an
     ape  balance at the tip of a canoe, both reaching  toward  the
     still  river.  These  images and others --  not  one  of  them
     digitally  composed or altered -- are the  startling  work  of
     photographer  Gregory  Colbert.  Showcased  in  the  traveling
     exhibition  Ashes  and  Snow,  this  "21st  century  bestiary"
     currently  makes its home in the Nomadic Museum,  a  structure
     built of hundreds of steel cargo containers just for Colbert's
     menagerie. The museum debuted at New York's Hudson River  pier
     last  year and currently welcomes visitors at the Santa Monica
     Pier  in  California. With no final destination  set,  it  may
     arrive  some day in your hometown. In the meantime, Ashes  and
     Snow, and its family of beasts and humans, awaits you online.

     Lessons Learned: The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina
     http://www.whitehouse.gov/reports/katrina-lessons-learned/
     
     On  August  23, 2005, Hurricane Katrina formed as  a  tropical
     storm  off the coast of the Bahamas. Over the next seven days,
     the  tropical  storm grew into a catastrophic  hurricane  that
     made  landfall first in Florida and then along the Gulf  Coast
     in  Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, leaving  a  trail  of
     heartbreaking devastation and human suffering. Katrina wreaked
     staggering  physical destruction along its path,  flooded  the
     historic  city  of New Orleans, ultimately killed  over  1,300
     people,  and  became the most destructive natural disaster  in
     American history. This February 2006 report from the executive
     branch  investigates  and  discusses  the  federal  government
     response to Hurricane Katrina.
