En man vårdas på sjukhus efter att ha fastnat i en maskin på sin arbetsplats på tisdagseftermiddagen.

Fyra män, 23, 27, 29 och 32 år gamla, greps och anhölls efter en stor polisrazzia i Södertälje och södra Stockholm på tisdagen.

Enligt vittnen avlossades skott vid Redbergsplatsen i Göteborg på tisdagskvällen, skriver gp.

Kelly Beatty has a unique perspective on the world of astronomy: Beatty's been on the staff of Sky & Telescope magazine for nearly 40 years as a writer and editor, including a stint heading "Night Sky" magazine. He's also written what's been called "the definitive guide for the armchair astronomer," and teaches astronomy to people of all ages. (He even has an asteroid named after him.) Besides being fascinated with the objects we can see in Earth's skies, Beatty takes the skies themselves seriously: his Twitter handle is NightSkyGuy for a reason. We talked a few weeks ago, in dark-skied rural Maine, about his involvement with the International Dark-Sky Association, and why you should care about ubiquitous light pollution, even if you don't have a deep interest in star-gazing. (And it's not just to be courteous to your neighbors.)

The website for the New York Times was taken offline today by way of an attack on their DNS.  Shown below is the summary Dr. J whipped up:

The normal NYTimes.com name servers are

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
nytimes.com.            172800  IN      NS      dns.ewr1.nytimes.com.
nytimes.com.            172800  IN      NS      dns.sea1.nytimes.com.

but one .com name server still answers with:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
nytimes.com.            172800  IN      NS      ns27.boxsecured.com.
nytimes.com.            172800  IN      NS      ns28.boxsecured.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns27.boxsecured.com.    172800  IN      A       212.1.211.126
ns28.boxsecured.com.    172800  IN      A       212.1.211.141

and returns an IP in that subnet

nytimes.com.
212.1.211.121

Connecting to this server results in:
