  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.

  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...]
