I said the story of the Titan launch being scrubbed was at:
http://www.flatoday.com/space/today/tindex.htm
To which Bjoern Gimle <bjorn@tt-tech.se> replied:

As usual with Florida Today, the URL changed within a few hours.
They have very quick turnover of headline stories. In any case, the
new URL (as of this minute) for the scrub story is:
http://www.flatoday.com/space/today/t4thr.htm (text only)
http://www.flatoday.com/space/today/i4thr.htm (graphics)
In the hours since the scrub, the launch has officially been
rescheduled for Friday, 10/10, between 1700 - 2100 PDT,
(Saturday 10/11 0000-0400 UT).
I drove to my launch observing site just a few minutes north of
town, but 160 miles (257 km) north of Vandenberg, this time with
my family along for the ride. I had also alerted our local TV
meteorologist, and he mentioned the launch to his viewers.
Of course, because alot of people were looking for it, it was
a no-go. Murhpy wins again.
