			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As of yesterday, in the early morn, the Large Hadron Collider successfully fired its &#8216;First Beam&#8217;. Whats that mean? It means that the world enlightening/destroying supercollider shot a single particle around its 27km course. People all over the world could witness the test via satellite or web-cast. Alas, yours truly had to work that morning. DAMMIT!!!</p>

<p><em>&#8216;Doesn&#8217;t that mean it works?&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Not quite, Timmy. They still have to test all the other beams and then get them to collide. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I miss the garbage can now and then and these guys are trying to make atoms collide. So they still have some work cut out for them. But this means we&#8217;re still good to go on the October launch of this possible mind blowing particle accelerator.</p>
