Everyone...
Our SOO (Paul Sisson) forwarded this to our staff. I have yet to check it out, but I'm
sure it will be very interesting. FYI - I was fortunate to have a first hand tour of the facilities
back in January '06, when Max Mayfield was the director. 

These people are very dedicated and approachable.
