North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has died of a heart attack at the age of 69, state media have announced.

Millions of North Koreans were "engulfed in indescribable sadness", the KCNA state news agency said, as people wept openly in Pyongyang.

KNCA described one of his sons, Kim Jong-un, as the "great successor" whom North Koreans should unite behind.

Pyongyang's neighbours are on alert amid fears of instability in the poor and isolated nuclear-armed nation.

If you use Google Image to search for "San Onofre Surfing Club," you will get, as the number one image, the Club's new logo, introduced in 2008. Thanks Google! And thanks to Puttzle for the last posting reveiling that Nineplus was using a logo almost certainly copied from the San Onofre Surfing Club logo. It's too late to see it on their webpage, as (according to a Surfer Magazine message board) within moments of the story breaking, the image on their home page was removed. A visit to their home page confirms that images won't load.

A/P San Diego:

The crisis at San Onofre deepened yesterday as food and water were found to be poisoned with lethal radiation, raising the threat of mass evacuation. The surrounding sea water was also contaminated.

Crops up to 75 miles from the damaged San Onofre nuclear plant were found to be unsafe to eat, and tap water in South Orange/North San Diego – home to 13 million people – will also been contaminated by fall-out.

Firefighters were still battling to bring leaking nuclear reactors ­under control.

Yesterday a collapse of the earth struck under the crippled power plant, causing further damage and hampering efforts to restore electricity in the hope of restarting the cooling systems which could avert nuclear disaster.

“Just throwing water on to the reactors, when they cannot get inside to see what the situation is, could mean the fuel goes critical again.

“And while the radiation leak so far is only a tenth of that at fukashima, that was in a rural area with a low population. at San Onofre it’s an urban, densely packed area so the potential numbers of deaths and cancers are much higher.”
