 +----------------------------------------------

The internet connection at ISU or at least for the server room
where the IEM resides has been flakey today.  This is impacting
various data feeds.  Hopefully some resolution is found soon.
9 PM Update: Internet access appears to be normal now.
ISU was having trouble with their packet shaper.
