Given the recent discussions of problems with grants.gov, this was in
the Federal Register today and I thought it might be of interest.

On Tuesday, May 17, 2005, the Grants.gov website was the target of
a ``denial of service attack.'' Over the next 35 hours that the attack
was underway, Grants.gov experienced a significant degradation in
performance. The processing capacity degraded by this attack, coupled
with a high volume of application submissions, rendered the Grants.gov
website almost inaccessible during certain times between Tuesday, May
17, 2005 and Thursday, May 19, 2005. Information regarding the attack
can be obtained at
