Hi Darren:

There were 5 or 6 articles that were "released" early by Space Daily. It is
not unusual for an article to be sent to the press, but embargoed until after
the journal comes out or the paper is given at a conference. It gives the
press time to do a little of their own background searching in case they want
to add something to their own article or do an interview prior to the official
release of the news item. This was the case here. So, it has nothing to do
with the quality of the results, it was just that Space Daily "jumped the gun"
in releasing the article.
