That’s chilling.
Very interesting, thanks for posting that tmp02.
FOLSOM, Calif. -- A security threat forced the evacuation Monday of the Folsom offices of the California Independent System Operator facility, which controls the state's power supply. ISO, along with state and federal authorities, have launched an investigation into the interruption of power to certain computer systems late Sunday. At no time was there an impact to the power grid, officials aid. Power was restored by about 6 a.m.
About 11 hours after the power went out, the ISO received a threatening e-mail. Authorities were very tight-lipped about the contents included in the e-mail. They would not say who it came from, where it came from or why they felt compelled to evacuate all 450 people at the ISO offices. Grid operations were transferred to another facility, officials said.
Authorities did not say if there was any connection between the outage and the e-mail.

Pajamas Media has an interesting link as the shooter story develops. Below is and extract and link.
Did anyone say “Ismail”? As in Ismail bin Jafar, the religious figure which Ismaili Shiah Muslims follow and are named after? (Wikipedia)
He left a note: The note in his dorm room included a rambling list of grievances and ended with the words “Ismail Ax” in red ink on the inside of one of his arms. He railed against “rich kids,” “debauchery” and “deceitful charlatans” on campus. (Chicago Tribune, with more background) See also ChiTrib Washington bureau blog. Roger Simon comments, with a ray of hope for mankind amid the tragedy.

“2 Teens Charged in Playground Acid Spill”
April 17, 2007 - 1:34pm
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “ESSEX, Md. (AP) - Two teenagers were charged with breaking into a school and pouring an acidic drain cleaner on playground equipment that later burned a 2-year-old boy on a slide, Baltimore County police said Tuesday.
The two 16-year-old boys were charged Monday night with reckless endangerment and second-degree burglary and released to their parents, officials said.
A school resource officer learned about the first juvenile, which police said led them to the second, who was arrested later. Their names were not released.”
Thank you RR.
Updates appreciated.
That’s interesting.
Thanks Oorang.
Hmm...I wonder what’s going on there.
OPINION: Generally speaking, The Santa Cruz area has eco-weirds and dopers, but with no message to go along with the bombs; it’s anyone’s guess what this is all about.
Thanks for the link milford421.
Per local radio, they are now releasing students (after checking each) to parents. No word on the purported gunman.
My opinion........there never was a gunman. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you RR.
I agree, “better to be safe than sorry.”
“He’s not the shooter”
Agreed, but he his still not your average Joe either, ???.
Thank you Velveeta.
WASHINGTON POST.com: "CENTREVILLE STUDENT WAS VA. TECH SHOOTER" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Law enforcement sources said that Cho died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on one of his arms, but they were not sure what the words meant. Investigators also found a note left in the shooter's dorm room, said to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. "It's sort of a manifesto" said the source, who described the note as a rambling and somewhat incoherent list of grievances. Among the people that Cho attacked in the note were those he considered rich, spoiled students, the source said. "It was just sort of against the world," the source said. The source also said investigators believe there was a connection between the shootings and recent bomb threats on campus and are "trying to nail it down.") (Updated April 17, 2007, 3:52 PM)

Professor Liviu Librescu, 76, threw himself in front of the shooter when the man attempted to enter his classroom. The Israeli mechanics and engineering lecturer was shot to death, "but all the students lived - because of him," Virginia Tech student Asael Arad - also an Israeli - told Army Radio. Several of Librescu's other students sent e-mails to his wife, Marlena, telling of how he blocked the gunman's way and saved their lives, said Librescu's son, Joe." (Updated April 17, 2007, 18:29)

12 Detained in Iraq, Coalition Forces Seize Truck Loaded With Explosives
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 17, 2007 – Coalition and Iraqi forces captured 12 suspects and seized a dump truck transporting explosive materials during raids across Iraq the past two days. Also, an investigation into an operation yesterday revealed no Iraq police were killed or injured, as original reports indicated.
In Baghdad, two individuals were detained for allegedly providing and transporting car bomb materials for a network operating in the area. In Karmah, a village northeast of Fallujah, coalition forces detained six men with suspected ties to al Qaeda.
“These captures are another step in disrupting the terrorist networks operating in Iraq,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a Multinational Force Iraq spokesman.
A preliminary investigation into a coalition forces raid yesterday in Ramadi revealed that three individuals killed and one wounded were not Iraqi policemen, as originally reported.
Actual Iraqi police operating in the area were notified by coalition forces while they were planning the raid. Iraqi police in the area were again notified immediately before coalition forces entered the target area, military officials said.
In the course of the operation, ground forces began receiving intense small-arms fire from armed men in two separate buildings. Using appropriate self-defense measures, coalition forces returned fire.
The wounded individual identified the group as Iraqi police, and the individuals used a vehicle that resembled local Iraqi police vehicles. But the investigation later revealed the armed individuals were dressed in dishdashas, which is traditional male Arabic garb, and not in Iraqi police uniforms.
Later in the operation, coalition forces cleared another targeted building and detained seven suspected terrorists with alleged ties to al Qaeda in Iraq.
During several early morning raids in the Iraqi capital yesterday, Iraqi special operations forces detained a target suspected of leading a rogue criminal cell operating in northeast Baghdad. Iraqi special operations forces, with coalition advisors, raided several buildings in Sadr City where they captured the terrorist leader, military officials reported.
As they left their second objective area, combined forces received enemy fire. Iraqi forces returned fire, immediately suppressing the enemy. Two other suspects were detained by Iraqiforces during this operation.
Combined forces primarily targeted a suspect with alleged links to a criminal network called “Abu Dura.” He is responsible for leading a kidnapping cell, conducting attacks on coalition and Iraqi forces, killing many innocent Iraqi civilians and launching rockets into parts of Baghdad, military officials said.
In Mushada yesterday, a dump truck overturned while attempting to deliver its payload of explosives and nitric acid.
A coalition patrol approached the driver of the overturned dump truck and offered assistance and found the vehicle loaded with nitric acid containers and explosives. The driver was taken into custody and confessed that he was paid to attack the Joint Security Station in Mushada, which also houses the town’s Iraqi police station.
An explosive ordnance team was called to analyze and dispose of the truck’s contents. The team discovered eight containers of nitric acid, eight directional fragmentation explosives devices and two large ordnance rounds.
The explosives and munitions discovered will be disposed of once they are carefully removed from the site, and the driver is being held for further questioning.
