A blackout hit downtown government buildings, Chinatown and adjacent areas Tuesday, but backup power kept key parts of City Hall and police headquarters running. It was the third significant electrical failure in the city since mid-September.The blackout began about 9 a.m. and cut power to as many as 1,000 customers, affecting City Hall, the Los Angeles County Hal

Blacked-out stoplights snarled traffic downtown and in Chinatown.Power failures last month affected 2 million people on Sept. 12 and 40,000 customers in downtown and neighborhoods to the east on Sept. 23.The Sept. 12 outage lasted 1frac12; hours and happened after a utility crew mistakenly cut several lines in the San Fernando Valley.

A team of seismologists led by Douglas Wiens of Washington University made the discovery after detecting a series of low-magnitude earthquakes in Marie Byrd Land in western Antarctica 鈥?the kind of tremors that often precede volcanic eruptions. The researchers ruled out the possibility that these events, which were happening at a depth of 15 to 25 miles 25 to 40 km beneath the sub-glacial surface, were caused by ice quakes, glacial motion, or tectonic activity owing to their deep, long-period waves. And because these tremors were happening close to the boundary between the Earth crust and mantle, it further raised the intriguing possibility that it was related to volcanic activity. The discovery of the volcano, which rests about a half-mile 1,000 m beneath the ice, has reinforced long-held suspicions that volcanic activity resides along the sizeable West Antarctic Ice Sheet. The region features
