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...

It's been pointed out that everything makes sense if the labs are 20 meters farther apart than they were thought to be (over 730 kilometers). I'm sure that's one of the first things to be checked, but it does point out that we're looking at a very small discrepancy.
