According to Dr. Autiero's team, neutrinos emanating from a particle accelerator at CERN, outside Geneva, had raced to a cavern underneath Gran Sasso in Italy - a distance of 454 miles - about 60 nanoseconds faster than it would take a light beam. That amounts to a speed greater than light by about 25 parts in a million.

Seeing a Chevy Corvette tearing up a freeway is a common site all over the United States, but we never thought we'd see one riding the waves. Performance boat manufacturer Marine Technology, Inc. wanted to change that, and the result is an insanely powerful aquatic speed demon called the ZR48 - a boat that boasts neck-snapping speeds and a massive price tag.

They're popping up along roads all over the place: electronic signs mounted on a trailer with the message: "Your Speed Is" some number that might surprise you. What do you do? Slow down. And that alone is helping make Hunterdon roads safer, especially for walkers and bicyclists. Clinton, Frenchtown and Raritan Township are among the area municipalities that own the signs.

Mitt Romney warns that "if you don't stand up to China, you will be run over by China." Herman Cain denies that the criticism of his "9-9-9" plan's arithmetic is incorrect because it is incorrect. Michele Bachmann says that Cain's plan is dangerous because if you turn "9-9-9" upside down it reads "666." "The devil is in the details," she said with a cold smile.
