How interesting that this waste of EM radiation coincides with the start of
the NAPC in Washington DC. It should provide lots of fodder for discussion
(to put it lightly). I don't know how much press attention the NAPC will get
but the organizers should take full advantage  of the opportunity afforded by
NBC to refute this trash and to show what _real_ science does!

Well, I'm off to the Florida Keys for a short vacation with the wife (read
fishing trip in disguise) until the 4th of June. See y'all at the NAPC!
