[Richard Langley]

"CERN spokesman James Gillies confirmed to The Associated Press late  
Wednesday that a problem in the GPS system used to time the arrival of  
neutrino particles was discovered earlier in February. He said  
experiments are being planned for later this year to test whether that  
introduced an error that made the particles appear to travel faster  
than light."
