Thursday night, Alden employees were told to get out of the building by the landlord, and the building was locked down. One guess why. Yesterday afternoon, an officer of the company was escorted into the building for just a few minutes to bring up the dead services. But DDPLUS choked again last night. Alden's remaining staff have been told not to report this week, and attorneys from both landlord and Alden are going back and forth with each other to get inside the building. Until then, calls to them will be fruitless. That's all I can tell you about the data situation at the moment. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** Internet: address@hidden (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: address@hidden *** web: http://weather.admin.niu.edu ** Work phone: 815-753-5492 * *******************************************************************************
