Power outage in Vienna, Virginia and other things

There is a power outage in the Vienna, VA area which appears to be affecting
a few co-location facilities in the area. Some web sites I know hosted in
the area are down. MAE-East is currently up.

While checking on Vienna, I also found I had problems reaching sites
in Boston, MA. Both Tufts University and Boston University are off-net.
I haven't heard of anything happening in the Boston area. I know Tufts
switch providers, but I don't know about BU. So the information in the
RADB may not give good information for reaching the correct upstream
provider.

And there is a DS3 cable problem in Alameda, CA.
