Ukraine’s Minister of Energy warned Monday that the "world is once again on the brink of nuclear disaster" after heavy shelling brought down Europe’s largest nuclear plant’s last transmission line. In a written message shared on Facebook on Monday, Ukrainian Energy Secretary German Galushchenko said that the majority of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission has left the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, as the station "is depleted again." "The last line connecting it with the energy system of Ukraine — LEP 330 kW ZATES — Ferosplavna - separated due to the fire that occurred as a result of shelling,"...

Times is back online, although many of its links--including its link to the story on the Clinton Foundation--are still not working. More to follow. ..

I always make sure my computer is unplugged and unhooked during thunderstorms, but yesterday I thought all we were having was a slow, steady rain with an occasional rumble of thunder off in the distance. As if! Suddenly the power went off accompanied by the sound of a string of firecrackers going off in the wall outlet my computer was plugged into. When the power came back on later my computer was dead. Tbe monitor, speakers, and modem still work (at least the modem still comes on), but the tower was dead as a doornail. Fortunately, there seems to have...

A controversial website that allows whistle-blowers to anonymously post government and corporate documents has been taken offline in the US. Wikileaks.org, as it is known, was cut off from the internet following a California court ruling, the site says. The case was brought by a Swiss bank after “several hundred” documents were posted about its offshore activities. Other versions of the pages, hosted in countries such as Belgium and India, can still be accessed. Wikileaks, in case you’ve never heard of it, has been gaining profile as the place to put information that someone is trying to keep under cover:...

Excerpt - We've now learned more about the outage at 365 Main's San Francisco datacenter that knocked some of the Web's most popular sites offline. The latest theory: An employee, reportedly drunk, hit the emergency-power-off switch in 365 Main's Colo 4 room. Other sites located in other rooms were unaffected. This isn't the first time 365 Main has suffered an EPO-induced outage; a major one still remembered by customers occurred back in April 2005, and another took place last year. After the jump, a gallery of the carnage caused, and a roundup of reactions. Some of the affected websites --...

Are we up yet?

To all my friends on Free Republic: My computer suddenly died without warning last sunday night and it could be anything from a blown battery to a hard drive wiped clean by a virus. I will not know until next monday when the man who built my computer takes a look at it. I hope to be online again in the very near future, but won't know anything until monday at the earliest. After that, who knows. The only reason I'm able to post this is that I'm visiting my sister today and using her computer. Please be patient with...

FOLSOM, Calif. (AP) - As electricity grid managers prepared for another day of high energy demand Thursday, one of two units at a nuclear power plant was shut down so workers could fix a leaky pipe, cutting 1,100-megawatts of electricity from the state power grid. One of the units at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in San Luis Obispo County was shut down after workers found a crack in a pipe that delivers water to cool a pump, said David Proulx, a senior inspector with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The water was not involved in reactor cooling and there...
