Usual sloppy reporting, or the sound of physics changing?


This report claims actual scientists at CERN appear to have found something  -- neutrinos -- exceeding the speed of light. Not by a huge amount (about 2.5 parts in 100,000 if I do my math right), but ANY amount is just not possible as we currently understand things.

Of course, knowing science reporting...

Albacon CANCELLED???

First Genericon decides they don't want me as a guest any more. Now Albacon, the only remaining local convention, notifies me that this year's con is cancelled!

  This sucks. I now have no local conventions I can show the flag at, so to speak. Nor do I have the time, money, and energy to devote to starting one.
