    • An Erupting Solar Prominence from SOHO (apod) -- This is a 3-yr-old image, we have no sunspots at present and probably are still near solar minimum, just busting to rev up a new upward cycle. There have been in the past year a few sunspots that show the proper rotation to denote that a new cycle has begun, but at the moment, the sun is amazingly devoid of sunspots (spaceweather).

  • A-H1N1 - Genetically Engineered or Naturally Occurring, It Can Still Kill You Dead:
    • The big picture: 9 reasons to RE-worry about the (swine) H1N1 flu - and 7 things to do about it (sfgate) -- Interesting article, but I take issue with one of her data points (that 1 tsp of cod liver provides 1000 IU of vitamin D - my cod liver oil bottle says 1 tsp provides 400 IU. That's quite a difference that needs to be resolved in order to be sure you're getting enough vitamin D. At any rate, there are also over-the-counter vitamin D tablets that provide 1000 IU. Ask your doctor. As she says in the article, it takes time to build up the body's vitamin D level, so time may be of the essence. Also, I can't say I agree with her about discarding the mask, since it could prevent you from inhaling the tiny droplets someone nearby coughs or sneezes in your direction. (Those droplets can travel much further in very cold air).

  • Ultimately Qui Bono - Who Benefits - the consistently ignored question. These are the paymasters of the whole charade. The Republicon shouting nutjobs, their corporate organizers, corporate-media and congressional propaganda shills are only the pawns in the big-money game. Qui Bono? These are the people pushing this country into utter fascism while Democrat leadership appear as if they haven't a clue about what is really going on - and of course, would NEVER call it what it is, name names, and go up against them head-on.
