The Carnival Triumph is arriving in Mobile, Alabama, later than expected Thursday, five days after a fire in the engine room turned the ship into a "floating petri dish" with sewage oozing down the walls and floating along the decks. Much of the ship's electric system went down in the fire, causing the sanitary systems to malfunction—and exposing passengers to raw sewage. Additionally, passengers have reported not getting enough to eat, with waits as long as four hours for food. Carnival said it will issue refunds for the trip and give each passenger $500 in compensation, and the cruise line has canceled all voyages on the troubled ship going forward. Read it at CNN MEDIA 3.

Time Warner is reportedly in talks with the Meredith Corporation—publisher of Better Homes, Ladies' Home Journal and more—to create a new, publicly traded company that includes much of Time Inc.'s magazines and Meredith's titles as well. It's just the latest example of a company pushing out the unwanted print publications, writes Carr, a trail first blazed by News Corp.'s decision last year to separate their entertainment and print assets. If Time Warner loses so much of Time Inc., it proves how much times have changed in the magazine world. Read it at The New York Times HIT THE 57 4.
