[ale] power

Had a power blink that hit the entire campus, hospital, everything at
Emory. Operating rooms went dark for about 10 seconds then it all came
back.

There are at least 2 substations that power Emory. The hospital is SUPPOSED
to be power-outage proof (thus MY concerns for the ebola work!).

What power outage gear is being used at home by ALE? At work by ALE people?
Apparently the datacenter here stayed up. But the power outage in the
operating rooms occured while surgery was ongoing including brain surgery
with a computer-controlled microscope.

Yikes!

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
