What's Wrong with the Sun?
July 11, 2008: Stop the presses! The sun is behaving normally.
So says NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. "There have been some reports lately that Solar Minimum is lasting longer than it should. That's not true. The ongoing lull in sunspot number is well within historic norms for the solar cycle."
This report, that there's nothing to report, is newsworthy because of a growing buzz in lay and academic circles that something is wrong with the sun. Sun Goes Longer Than Normal Without Producing Sunspots declared one recent press release. A careful look at the data, however, suggests otherwise.
But first, a status report: "The sun is now near the low point of its 11-year activity cycle," says Hathaway. "We call this 'Solar Minimum.' It is the period of quiet that separates one Solar Max from another."

During Solar Max, huge sunspots and intense solar flares are a daily occurrence. Auroras appear in Florida. Radiation storms knock out satellites. Radio blackouts frustrate hams. The last such episode took place in the years around 2000-2001.
During Solar Minimum, the opposite occurs. Solar flares are almost nonexistent while whole weeks go by without a single, tiny sunspot to break the monotony of the blank sun. This is what we are experiencing now.
"It does seem like it's taking a long time," allows Hathaway, "but I think we're just forgetting how long a solar minimum can last." In the early 20th century there were periods of quiet lasting almost twice as long as the current spell. (See the end notes for an example.) Most researchers weren't even born then.
Hathaway has studied international sunspot counts stretching all the way back to 1749 and he offers these statistics: "The average period of a solar cycle is 131 months with a standard deviation of 14 months. Decaying solar cycle 23 (the one we are experiencing now) has so far lasted 142 months--well within the first standard deviation and thus not at all abnormal. The last available 13-month smoothed sunspot number was 5.70. This is bigger than 12 of the last 23 solar minimum values."
In summary, "the current minimum is not abnormally low or long."
The longest minimum on record, the Maunder Minimum of 1645-1715, lasted an incredible 70 years. Sunspots were rarely observed and the solar cycle seemed to have broken down completely. The period of quiet coincided with the Little Ice Age, a series of extraordinarily bitter winters in Earth's northern hemisphere. Many researchers are convinced that low solar activity, acting in concert with increased volcanism and possible changes in ocean current patterns, played a role in that 17th century cooling.
For reasons no one understands, the sunspot cycle revived itself in the early 18th century and has carried on since with the familiar 11-year period. Because solar physicists do not understand what triggered the Maunder Minimum or exactly how it influenced Earth's climate, they are always on the look-out for signs that it might be happening again.
The quiet of 2008 is not the second coming of the Maunder Minimum, believes Hathaway. "We have already observed a few sunspots from the next solar cycle," he says. (See Solar Cycle 24 Begins.) "This suggests the solar cycle is progressing normally."
What's next? Hathaway anticipates more spotless days1, maybe even hundreds, followed by a return to Solar Max conditions in the years around 2012.

|more information: Spotless Days
1Another way to examine the length and depth of a solar minimum is by counting spotless days. A "spotless day" is a day with no sunspots. Spotless days never happen during Solar Max but they are the "meat and potatoes" of solar minima.
Adding up every daily blank sun for the past three years, we find that the current solar minimum has had 362 spotless days (as of June 30, 2008). Compare that value to the total spotless days of the previous ten solar minima: 309, 273, 272, 227, 446, 269, 568, 534, ~1019 and ~931. The current count of 362 spotless days is not even close to the longest.
The plot below compares the Solar Minimum of 2008 to a longer one in 1933:
Orange bars represent the number of spotless days per month. The ongoing solar minimum needs to accumulate another 206 spotless days before it matches the duration of the 1933 minimum, which is considered unremarkable by solar historians.
What does a spotless day look like? The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) recorded this blank sun on July 1, 2008:

Republicans who seek our support during an election cycle declare emphatically that they will deal with the deficit upon being elected. Once elected, however, they far too often evince nothing but apathy towards efforts to solve our budget crisis. Worse yet, they even work assiduously to create new deficits.
Ever since Republicans won control of the House in 2010, instead of looking for spending cuts to offset existing deficits, they are constantly looking for ways to create new deficits, albeit with the fervent pledge to offset those new deficits. Yesterday, several lawmakers showed us just how indifferent they are to deficit spending.
Commenting on concerns of deficit spending, John Mica, the author of the House highway bill, offered this caviler response: "Honestly I don't pay that much attention to the financing portion because it's not mine. But they've promised to find ways to fund this and so far they've kept their word. It will be done. It will pass. Then I will say Amen."
Yes, we understand that Mica is Chairman of the Transportation Committee, not Ways and Means or Appropriations. But does he really regard the cost as such an ancillary footnote to the bill that he need not consider it when drafting the underlying bill?
On the Senate side, Politico asked Senator Thune what he thought of their version of the highway bill:
"I think by and large if they want to get an extension of this for two years, rather than doing these short-term extensions, this is probably the best shot we have," Thune said. Is it your sense the bill will pass? "I think so. I shouldn't probably say that," Thune said. "The Finance Committee, if they tweak the offsets a little bit, you know it probably picks up a considerable number of Republicans and I think a lot of Democrats."
Yeah, let's just pass this bill, which overspends its revenue source by 43%; we'll tweak it a little here and there to make up the difference.
We are witnessing the same thing with the extenders package. Let's put aside the payroll tax cut for a moment. There is an intra-conservative debate over whether this sort of "stimulus" tax cut should require offsets or not. Nevertheless, we all agree that the increased spending on UI and Medicare doc fix should be offset with other spending cuts. The point of cutting the payroll tax loose from the rest of the package was so Republicans can unilaterally pass the payroll tax cut, while refusing to spend more on UI and doc fix unless they are completely offset. Yet, Republicans are agreeing to a conference report that will fill in that 10-month $50 billion deficit with a patchwork of offsets over 10 years. Spend now; pay later.
[As an aside, they are also planning to vote for the conference report tomorrow, a violation of that pesky little pledge to post all legislation 72 hours before consideration on the floor. Because this is a conference report, any such point of order against the bill offered by a conservative will be waived.]
The voters did not elect Republicans to propagate this "spend now, pay later" mentality. They elected Republicans to end this credulous form of governance. If these Republicans will not exercise their mandate, they'll need to be replaced with a better crop. It's that simple.

Guest article by W. Gifford-Jones, MD
Today millions of North Americans suffer hypertension and 99% are being treated by prescription drugs. Studies show that nearly 50% discontinue their medication due to unpleasant side-effects. But tossing away drugs is a hazardous move which can result in earlier death. This week, a double-barrelled natural remedy that helps to prevent high blood pressure. It can also be helpful to those with hypertension who wish to try managing it first without the use of prescription medication.
It's been said that "societies get the blood pressure they deserve." It appears we deserve a lot. It's estimated that 75 million adult North Americans have hypertension. What is more frightening is that doctors are now seeing this disease in young children who are obese and diabetic.
What causes hypertension? In some cases doctors cannot pin-point the reason. Sir William Osler, one of the world's great physicians, said it was good to be born with "genetically good rubber". He was referring to soft, springy arteries less likely to cause hypertension.
But since we cannot choose our parents, many people, as they age, develop atherosclerosis (clogged, hardened arteries), the big killer. Good sense tells us that if water pipes in our homes are clogged, the pressure affects the entire house. Similarly, the constant pounding from increased blood pressure on all our arteries and organs results in a host of problems: coronary attack, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and amputation of legs.
So what can a double-barrelled approach do to prevent this major killer? Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, at the University of Texas, says that for 100 years researchers have known that nitroglycerine eased angina heart pain by increasing the blood supply to the heart's muscle. But it was a mystery how this happened. Then researchers discovered the miracle molecule of nitric oxide (NO). They were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998.
Early in life we all produce large amounts of NO in the endothelial lining (the innermost lining of blood vessels). This keeps arteries expanded. But after age 40 the production of NO decreases and arteries constrict causing hypertension. This constant pressure injures the endothelium and triggers a chemical and inflammatory reaction that kills one North American every 37 seconds.
A natural remedy, Neo40, is now available. It sends a message in nanoseconds to endothelial cells to start producing nitric oxide. Dr. Bryan reports some people take L-arginine to produce NO. But Neo40 is more effective since it contains L–citrulline, vitamin C, beet root and hawthorn.
The prescribed dose is to slowly dissolve one tablet in the mouth twice a day for two weeks, then one daily. This provides a quick start to lowering blood pressure. But it's a lifetime treatment as once a deficiency occurs the body will never again produce sufficient NO.
The next part of the double-barrelled attack involves high doses of vitamin C and lysine. It's also a lifetime treatment because, unlike animals, humans, due to a genetic mishap, lost the ability to produce this vitamin eons ago. Vitamin C is needed to produce collagen, the glue that holds cells together and its lack sets the stage for atherosclerosis. The addition of lysine, an amino acid, strengthens arteries, decreasing the risk of rupture and stroke. However, unlike Neo40 that dilates arteries, high doses of C can prevent atherosclerosis, and if already present, begins to unclog all arteries.
The dose is 4,000 – 6,000 mg daily of C and 3,000 – 4,000 mg of lysine daily either in capsule or powder form. Dr. Sydney Bush, the English researcher who made this revolutionary discovery, reports it takes six months before the first signs of arterial reversal can be seen. See the dramatic before and after photos on my web site www.docgiff.com
It's unfortunate that most doctors do not know about these natural ways to treat hypertension. Of course there is a place for prescription drugs to treat hypertension. But it's tragic that these natural, safe and often effective remedies are not tried first. And they are as close as your Health Food Store. And remember, prevention of hypertension is as important as treatment.

A beautiful smile definitely adds more charm to your personality and those who do not have a good smile can easily get the best smile possible by simply visiting a dentist. With technology advancing so rapidly, it has become extremely common to see people undergo dental care treatments to keep their teeth in the best form possible. Investing in your smile is definitely a great idea since it is the only thing you wear each day and offer to a large number of people. There are a larger number of dental care clinics that have come up today due to the great demand. However, one dental care chain that was especially designed to provide only the best treatment to every client is dentzz.
Dentzz reviews are all in the positive light and if you have your doubts, you can simply go through them before investing your time and money in this reputed chain of dental care clinic. This is a chain of clinic that has become extremely popular and is found in prime places in Mumbai and Delhi. Providing an excellent oral health care is the motto of this clinic and this is done with the help of the latest technologies and highly experienced professionals.
Dentzz reviews show that this is one clinic that provides a number of services and facilities under one roof. This is because they have well trained dental surgeons on their panel and meeting every need of their client is what these surgeons take pride in. one sitting root canal, dental implants, smile makeovers etc. are all different procedures that take place in this highly popular clinic.

Mike Bithell's had a crazy year. He went from being one of a few dozen developers at U.K.-based Bossa Studios to becoming a solo indie creator supporting a game on multiple platformers. What prompted the drastic lifestyle change? The steady climb of acclaim around his minimalist platformer Thomas Was Alone.
Thomas just came out this week for PlayStation hardware and supports the Cross-Play feature that lets players pick up their progress on either platform. Hopefully, thousands more players are discovering how the game's charm sneaks up on you, moving from deceptively simple jumping to genuine concern for characters who are, well, just blocks.
Bithell was kind enough to answer a few questions from me over e-mail. In the Q&A below, he talks about the difficulty of bringing Thomas to PlayStation platforms, the critical reactions to Thomas he took to heart and what he's working on next.
Kotaku: When did the conversations start about bringing Thomas Was Alone to PS3 and Vita? Were you going to stop with Steam if those talks didn't happen? Did you/do you have plans for a mobile port?
Bithell: So the game came out, reviewed well and had a bit of buzz. I could tell that there might be further opportunities. I went to my then employer, Bossa to help me work out the business side of it.. they shepherded me through the process. Simultaneously, Shahid at Sony was a big fan of the game and keen on bringing to his platforms. Curve, who I knew some guys at, were doing some cool work bringing indie games to PSN, so it all seemed to fit really nicely together.
I was always going to look into options beyond the desktop, and got into some preliminary conversations elsewhere, but it was Sony who seemed to have this excitement about the game, and a passion for turning their systems into havens for indie games in the living room.
On mobile, I'm still trying to work out a way to do the game justice on a touch screen. If I solve that problem, I'll happily bring it to those places too.
Kotaku: What were the challenges in getting Thomas to work on these new systems? How did Curve Studios—who handled the port—tackle them?
Bithell: Well, first of all, Unity didn't at the time support Vita (they will soon). So the best option available to us was to rebuild. The team at Curve rebuilt the entire game from scratch, building their own tools to import my levels from Unity into their own engine. Incredibly impressive stuff. After that, it's all about polish... Console gamers will not accept the hiccups of an indie game, and Sony strive to keep a standard of excellence in the performance and quality of their games.
There was also a dev at Curve who took on making the game 60fps/1080p as his personal mission. The dude did it. That passionate awesomeness accompanied the entirety of my time working with Curve on this.
Kotaku: Did you start out consciously trying to make a game about friendship and jumping, that is to say the bigger themes of how people relate to each other? Or did you work on designing the puzzles and mechanics first, with the other stuff coming later?
Bithell: I'm chuffed at how organically it grew. I think the idea of 'switching characters' came first, but the act of playing that game informed where the project would go thematically. I'd come up with 'I want a floating character' and then think about how she would react to that ability, or I thought 'I want someone arrogant' and work out which mechanic would support that. It all kind of gelled.
Kotaku: The one thing that intrigues me most about Thomas is the pacing. The dialogue nodes are like the collectible breadcrumbs of this game. How do you decide where to place them?
Bithell: Well, first off, I obviously wanted them reasonably evenly paced.. as I knew players would (hopefully) look forward to them, and they'd define the rhythm of the game to an extent. But on top of that, I also knew I wanted the game to have structure.
So, the 10 chapters, they form a meta-structure which kind of follows the standard three-act film structure. That informed everything in the telling of the story, and the narration hopefully breadcrumbs between those key story beats well. I think the one place this falls down a bit is in the final act, I follow the right structure, but a choice made for gameplay reasons slightly dulls the player's emotional investment. A lesson was learned.
Kotaku: The Benjamin's Flight levels in the PlayStation exclusive feel harder at the ones at the outset than the beginning of the main game. Was this a conscious decision, driven by thinking that it'd be played by people who've already finished with the main game?
Bithell: Thomas is not a hard game. I never wanted it to be. I hoped that players would have a chilled out experience getting to the end. Some reviews have criticised this, and I totally get that. I know I felt similarly about games that did the same thing. I still kinda feel that's a big part of the game's appeal for many of its fans though, so no regrets.
With the DLC, I was indeed making content intended for those who had completed the main game. I therefore didn't feel bad at all about upping the challenge a bit. I also kinda had to. Benjamin's power is immensely unbalanced to other characters; he can get anywhere. Difficulty in the form of hazards was a good way of honing that in and bringing back some challenge.
Kotaku: Do you feel like there's a list of absolute no-nos of things you can't do as an indie creator?
Bithell: I actually feel the opposite. There are no areas indie games shouldn't be exploring. There are some in the indie community who are pushing for a specific kind of game or style as 'proper indie'. That's cool, as long as they don't seek to apply that criteria to other people's work. We all have stuff we like, and stuff we don't like. That's awesome. In indie, I get to make exactly what I want, and so does everyone else.
Honestly, given the hatred some gamers feel for 'pretentious indie games', and the limits some developers feel on making an 'indie game', I'm not sure the word is as useful as it used to be. As the means of production become more open and more inclusive, I think we're all becoming creators in some sense.
Kotaku: You've teased #project2 a bit on Twitter and it sounds like it's going to be radically different from Thomas. Why should fans of your first game show up for the second?
Bithell: It's a departure in that it's not a game about jumping rectangles. But the focus remains the same: Trying to gel gameplay and storytelling in ways which I think are interesting. I'm also probably going to always write about flawed nerdy teens, at least until I age enough to write about flawed nerdy middle aged people.
My biggest regret in Thomas Was Alone was not inviting players to take part in the creation of the game, via writing stuff, or level design. So that's a big theme of the next game, working out ways that I can tell the stories I want to tell, while opening up some opportunities for others to do the same.
I can't wait to share the game with more people. I think it might be pretty good.

WASHINGTON, DC – The US Treasury is putting the $100,000 bill back into circulation.
US Secretary of Treasury, Timothy Geithner, announced today that the US mint will finally print the 100,000 bill for circulation.
"Since President Obama recently agreed to the two-year extension of the high-end tax cuts initiated by Former President Bush, it just made sense to put this bill into circulation once and for all," said Geithner, "The über rich still need to have cash that they can actually use."
A version of the bill was originally produced in 1934 for one series but was never truly put into circulation. The bills are used, but only to pay off internal debts between various government agencies and banks.
The new bill will be strikingly similar to the original, but Woodrow Wilson's portrait will be replaced by a more recognizable individual. Sources have told Weekly World News that it is a toss up between Lady Gaga and Jesus Christ. WWN photographer, Boy Mack, had the special privilege of photographing test runs of both versions of the bill.
"I am ecstatic that the Department of Treasury has finally gotten with the program. I have been waiting for this bill for a long, long time. I mean, what are my type of people supposed to do with 20s?" said Warren Buffet, one of America's richest men, "I am hoping to see Gaga on the bill, what a looker!"
The Treasury Department is scheduled to finalize its decision between Jesus and Gaga in the second quarter of 2011.
UPDATE: After WWN broke this story the Treasury Department realized that it had made a grave error in its portrait selection for the new bill. Surprisingly, the government is actually listening to the masses and has agreed to bring Bat Boy into consideration for the new bill.
Upon hearing about the decision, WWN sent staff photographer Boy Mack back to DC to document the new version of the bill. "I definitely want to see Bat Boy on the bill," said Oprah Winfrey, "his story is so compelling. He really deserves it more than any of the others."

IRVING, TX -The Sea Scout Ship Albatross has been selected as the 2012 National Flagship by the Boy Scouts of America. 2012 is the 100-year anniversary of the Sea Scout program, which will be celebrated by over 7000 Sea Scouts and their communities throughout the United States.
BoatUS and Sea Scouts, BSA recognizes Sea Scout Ship 72, S.S.S. Albatross from Martinez, California, chartered by Security Owners Corporation of the Mt. Diablo Silverado Council as the recipient of the 2012 National Flagship Award. The award was created by BoatUS in 2002 to mark the 90th anniversary of Sea Scouts. It is presented in recognition of excellence in program quality, youth achievement, and adult commitment. It is these attributes, as reflected by the S.S.S. Albatross and its exemplary program of seamanship and youth development, that we honor them with this award.
A heartfelt congratulation goes to Ship Boatswain Catherine Murphy-Bevan, Skipper Adam Mollwitz, and the dedicated S.S.S. Albatross crew and adult volunteers. The S.S.S, Albatross name will be inscribed on a perpetual trophy now on display at the National Scouting Museum in Irving, Texas. An identical trophy will be presented to the ship's leadership at the 60th Ancient Mariner Regatta, onboard the USS Hornet, in Alameda California.
As a part of the Ship's qualifications, they met or exceeded all national standards as a part of their application for consideration. The ship's quarterdeck and skipper completed a full application and provided support through written summary of their accomplishments and activities they participated in during this past year.
Since 1932, the Sea Scouts have been an active part of the Martinez Community, and the Western Region. This year the ship is participating in the Relay for Life, as well as hosting two Regattas.
The Albatross Sea Base, with the help of the crew, parents, and the adult staff, has become the training center for several units of the area. The Albatross main training vessel is a 65 foot ex-Navy torpedo Retriever from 1968, aptly named "Albatross". Their other training vessels include a ski boat named "Little Tross", a runabout named "Tadpole", a whaleboat named "Shanagagines", and other small sail and powerboats.
The co-ed Albatross crew works hard and plays hard: learning to maintain their boat; learn new skills; and compete in a wide array of events. A few highlights of their activities include:
- Achieved the Gold level of the Journey to Excellence national award for 2011.
- 100 % of their youth members advanced in rank, or advanced during the year
- Increased their youth membership by a net of 17%
- 45% of their youth members achieved Ordinary rank or higher, including one Quartermaster
- An average of 90 % of their members attended their ship activities annually
- The crew participated in over 50 on-the-water activities during the year. Including a 10 day Summer Cruise
- Maintained their Boat and Sea Base, including installing a new cabin top for their crew's quarters.
- 6 community service projects were held as a ship , such as color guards and cleaning up the local water front
- Competed in 8 Regattas through out the region; hosted 2 Regattas; participated in Safety at Sea at Yerba Buena Island; participated in many more active meetings and months of events too numerous to mention.
An official Sea Scout SALUTE goes to Ship 72, S.S.S. Albatross for their efforts. We wish them well as they continue to promote water safety and provide a quality Sea Scout program to the youth of their area.

In a piece ripped straight from The Onion, hilarious satirist Suzanne Venker — a right-wing nut job who loves to defend the never-ending national nightmare that is Michele Bachmann — says that straight people aren't getting married anymore because women just aren't women. Meaning that women are abandoning their rightful spots in the kitchen to become emasculating titans of business. Or, you know, to pay rent.
Here's a quick recap of the reasons Suzanne Venker blames women for a decline in American heterosexual marriages:
1."Women aren't women anymore."
2. "In a nutshell, women are angry."
3. "After decades of browbeating the American male, men are tired. Tired of being told there's something fundamentally wrong with them. Tired of being told that if women aren't happy, it's men's fault."
4. "The so-called rise of women has not threatened men. It has pissed them off."
5. "Men want to love women, not compete with them. They want to provide for and protect their families — it's in their DNA. But modern women won't let them."
6. "Feminism serves men very well: They can have sex at hello and even live with their girlfriends with no responsibilities whatsoever."
7. "If men today are slackers, and if they're retreating from marriage en masse, women should look in the mirror and ask themselves what role they've played to bring about this transformation."
The trolling. Oh, the trolling.
Ignoring all of the bullshit about "surrendering to their nature and femininity" — as if women somehow were immune to the gratification a career provides — the rise of women in the workplace is in response to direct and indirect oppression for hundreds of years. Further, the piece entirely ignores that working is often an economic reality for everyone — even if some ladies might prefer to stay home and rear children, it's just not possible for many.
Also, it's always lovely to see a "no women-in-the-workplace!" article from a woman who opens by praising her own workplace experiences. I wonder how emasculated her work makes her man feel? Shouldn't she be on all fours in the bathroom so her man can fuck her from behind while she's scrubbing the toilet and sous-viding a pot roast? Thank goodness she found the time to write this drivel between dusting knick-knacks and perfecting her fellatio skills — you know, the truly important lady business.
