New solar cycle 24 prediction

NASA Official Prediction Page http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/SolarCycle/ NASA Press Release http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/29may_noaaprediction.htm ---Quote-- "If our prediction is correct, Solar Cycle 24 will have a peak sunspot number of 90, the lowest of any cycle since 1928 when Solar Cycle 16 peaked at 78," says panel chairman Doug Biesecker of the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center." "Even a below-average cycle is capable of producing severe space weather," points out Biesecker. "The great geomagnetic storm of 1859, for instance, occurred during a solar cycle of about the same size we’re predicting for 2013." The 1859 storm--known as the "Carrington Event" after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed the instigating solar flare--electrified transmission cables, set fires in telegraph offices, and produced Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow. A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to ten years for complete recovery. For comparison, Hurricane Katrina caused "only" $80 to 125 billion in damage. ---------- Wikipedia on the 1859 Carrington Event http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_storm_of_1859 Also a good read on the Carrington Event The Sun Kings (2007) http://www.stuartclark.com/sunkings.html Clear Skies - Kurt

Liver is a very nutritious food with a lot of B vitamins. Onions make the liver taste better. I eat L&O find it has a good distinct taste.

Liver and onions have always tasted to me like grilled mud. And yes, I've tried numerous home recipes: "Oh, you've never had liver and onions like I prepare them - you'll love it!" Still comes out grilled mud. The only time I was glad to have liver was on a 30-day-long desert survival trip. We butchered a sheep, and no one else wanted the liver, so a guy from Korea and I claimed it. We did add onions (wild onions, I think) and on that occasion I was glad to have it. (Extreme hunger does funny things to your palate.) However, even on that occasion it was still MUD. So, if I'm allowed to join y'all at Lamb's, I'll order the haddock.

Allowed? Absolutely everybody is not just allowed, but encouraged to come. There's just one rule: if you can't appreciate the finer thing of life (i.e., L&O), don't look for sympathy from those of us who can, and don't gag and complain about it like a certain lovely woman would. We connoisseurs want a chance to enjoy our treat fully. -- 2nd subassistant cruise director Bau. --- On Sat, 5/30/09, Kim <kimharch(a)cut.net> wrote: From: Kim <kimharch(a)cut.net> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Salt Lake Gastronomical Society To: "'Utah Astronomy'" <utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com> Date: Saturday, May 30, 2009, 6:58 PM At the risk of offending...
