I’d love to see the finances of this project. It’s gotta take about a billion jiggawatts to cool a 27km ring down to almost absolute zero, and they probably weren’t planning on energy costs spiking the way they have over the last 2 years when they started the project. I imagine their budget has been blown to hell. ---

[http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/35386](http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/35386) “At 15:20 on Friday, a small bunch of protons was successfully kicked out of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) using a pulsed magnet and sent down a 2.7 km-long transfer line towards the LHC. Then at 21:40, after a few hours spent optimizing the process, one bunch was kicked out of the transfer line into the LHC where ? to the surprise of many ? it travelled about 3 km until it was stopped by a screen (see image).” ![http://images.iop.org/objects/physicsweb/news/thumb/12/8/10/BeamInjection.jpg](http://images.iop.org/objects/physicsweb/news/thumb/12/8/10/BeamInjection.jpg) ?The passage of the beam first time caused some excitement in the control room, and champagne was rolled out,? machine operator Roger Bailey told [physicsworld.com](http://physicsworld.com). ?We expected to have to thread the protons round using position detectors and local correction magnets, but now we know that the fields and polarities of several hundred superconducting magnets are pretty much okay.?

Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack 1. Organize before they rise! 2. They feel no fear, why should you? 3. Use your head: cut off theirs. 4. Blades don’t need reloading. 5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair. 6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it. 7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike. 8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert! 9. No place is safe; only safer. 10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on. ---
