some URLs to EM in the news. and, having uploaded the
new site, started working on a new links directory and
found that PHP/mySQL works very well, and am close to
putting up an empty directory online. the main issue
now is how to categorize a largely unmapped content-
area, and at what level of detail. when first online
the new directory will be sparse, yet i hope anyone
and everyone who has an interest in EM can help in
building out the different categories/areas of links.
any suggestions and contributions are much appreciated.

today in some way. some uses may include lasers and electro-

[printing TV-displays. it is not clear (to me) why this
discovery is different from computer LCD displays...
that is, why is it compared to a tv and not a computer]

[the british military killed their windfarm project due to the
same issue with radar signatures/blind spots. that might have
been a test site for windfarms, whereas this is a full-fledged
installation to deal with 545 wind-turbines in desert-communities
where power may be hard to find if energy-issues persist (as
they were doing last week in california and nevada, for instance).
during that week, the temperatures were 130^F in california...]
