A
nationwide outage in the Internet system is causing headaches for
users today. The universal disruption appears to be caused by 40
backbones that terminate in Chicago not functioning. Other details
about the situation are scant. WorldCom began having problems
yesterday. The companies running the major lines that are affected
are working on the problem.
Local
access to local domains (for example, accessing Lincoln Daily News
from CCAonline) is still possible.

Local
vigil marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month
[OCT. 3, 2002]
The Lincoln Police
Department, the Logan County Task Force Against Domestic Abuse and
Violence, and Sojourn, an organization devoted to helping women and
children get out of domestic violence situations, invite the public
to attend their annual vigil, which will be at noon this Tuesday,
Oct. 8, at the Logan County Courthouse.

Participants will walk around the
square to show their support for ending domestic violence and abuse
in our communities. Following this, Rep. Jonathan Wright will speak.
Wright will
also judge the finalists in the District 27 fifth-grade art contest.
Students were given the topic "What can you do with your hands
besides hit?" One finalist was chosen from each of the six
fifth-grade classes, and Wright will choose a single winner from
among them. The finalists and their principals will be at the vigil
with their artwork. The winner will receive a DVD from Police Chief
Rich Montcalm. The other five students will receive a DARE prize of
their choice — a basketball, football, T-shirt or hat.
