Hot july

have you experience hot afternoon this month, well I do I have experience it and I don't like it. I have turned the air conditioning unit on but it's still hot. We have been feeling this for a week now despite the storms that is passing the northern part of the country. I have research a cool article which may explain why we experience such heat. This is the accumulated result from http://www.solarham.net/swpc.htm

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 239 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Aug 2012

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  25/2100Z
to 26/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. The largest flare in the past
24 hours was a C1 at 1817Z from a region just around the east limb.
No CMEs observed in the past 24 hours are expected to be
geoeffective.

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for moderate activity.

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z:
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels with an
isolated period of active and major storm levels at high latitudes.

IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a slight chance for
active conditions.  A slight chance exists for high latitudes to
reach major storm levels on 27 August, increasing to a chance on 28
- 29 August.  Increased activity is due to coronal hole high speed
stream effects.

Estimated Afr/Ap 26 Aug  010/012
Predicted Afr/Ap 27 Aug-29 Aug  007/008-007/008-007/008

VI.  Geomagnetic Activity Probabilities 27 Aug-29 Aug
A.  Middle Latitudes
Active                10/15/15
Minor storm           01/05/05

it's the sun flare ladies and gentlemen I talk about this flares 

in my previous blog and further explain how dangerous this phenomena is.

obama wants to see martians

President Barack Obama placed a congratulatory telephone call to the NASA team behind the Mars "Curiosity" rover, joking he might go for a Mohawk to emulate flight director Bobak Ferdowsi, and quipping that he needed to be told "right away" if the probe finds any little green men.
"If, in fact, you do make contact with Martians, please let me know right away," he said in the call. "I've got a lot of other things on my plate, but I suspect that that will go to the top of the list. Even if they're just microbes, it will be pretty exciting."
Obama offered a personal shout-out to "special Mohawk Guy" (yes, the White House transcript capitalized "Guy"). "I, in the past, thought about getting a Mohawk myself, but my team keeps on discouraging me," Obama said. "And now that he's received marriage proposals and thousands of new Twitter followers, I think that I'm going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense."
"It does sound like NASA has come a long way from the white shirt, black dark-rimmed glasses and the pocket protectors," the president said. "You guys are a little cooler than you used to be."
On a more serious note, Obama congratulated the team on Curiosity's successful landing on the Red Planet a week ago and praised the technical skill required as "mind-boggling."
"What you've accomplished embodies the American spirit, and your passion and your commitment is making a difference," he said."
"'Curiosity' is going to be telling us things that we did not know before and laying the groundwork for an even more audacious undertaking in the future, and that's a human mission to the Red Planet," Obama said.

And he pledged his "personal commitment to protect" government investments in science and technology.
