- During many runs, we have observed that fresh Pd absorbes almost *all* the
- evolved Deuterium (Hydrogen). At least 90%, possibly higher for a fresh
- cathode. This is likely true for the Ni and Ti cathodes, I have not tried
- Ti.

- I am in e-mail overload. Too much stuff to ever answer has piled up. If
- you feel that I owe you an answer pleas bug me. To Alex Orenshteyn, I did
- not mean to put you down. You did notice.

- Thanks to Dieter Britz and David Cyganski for helping to think about power
- computation. I keep thinking I am doing it right, but always humble as
- it is so easy to get bit.

- Jed Rothwell sent a long rebuttal to my post on Takahashi calibration. To
- me, the high current temperature rise time better matches the actual input
- power than the input power + claimed anomalous heat. My real point is that
- the calorimetry is too crude for me to believe. Jed points out that there
- is a change between sweep 1 and sweep 34. To me, this is either because
- there is a change in calorimeter constant, or there is anomalous heat.

- Dieter, you are indeed fortunate not to recognize Murphy Brown. I see that
- news did get to Allan Duncan who is in Australia, where if I remember
- correctly you also are. I thus admire your taste in media.
