Colleagues:
Another quite informative story about He shortage has appeared recently
in Chemical and Engineering News (C&EN)
"Why Helium Is In Short Supply" by Marc Reisch
Chemical & Engineering News, 85(41), October 8, 2007, page 31
Also available online for those with subscription.

"...Helium will be tight at least through 2009, and our guess is that we
won't have ample supplies again until 2011..."

Subject: AMMRL: Article about helium squeeze
Folks,
This is a little late, but very timely.
An interesting article about our helium squeeze
made the FRONT PAGE of the Seattle Times.
Go to www.seattletimes.com and search for helium squeeze.
(Note I would have given the link,
but the length was extremely long.)
