STARBURST On March 2, 2012 a new active region on the sun, region 1429, rotated into view. It has let loose two M-class flares and one X-class so far. The M-class flares erupted on March 2 and on March 4. The third flare, seen above, rated an X1, peaked at 10:30 ET on March 4. A coronal mass ejection accompanied each flare, though due to the fact that this active region is still off to the side of the sun, they will likely have a weak effect on Earth’s magnetosphere. The M class flare on March 4 also came with what’s called a Type IV radio burst that lasted for about 46 minutes. Sending out broadband radio waves, these bursts can occur towards the end of a solar flare and are believed to be created by moving electrons trapped in great, looping magnetic fields left over from the initial flare. The bursts can interfere with radio communications on Earth. (Photo: Solar Dynamics Observatory / NASA)

Is It Morning — Or Dawn — In America? | TPMDC

Actually it’s more like Seasons. Secular Winter arrived on 9/11 and in winter we remain. The good news is the seed for secular Spring was planted with the election of 2006, and that seed began to germinate with the election of President Obama in 2008.

There is no changing the order of the seasons, and no matter how much the anachronous Republicans would like to return to the autumnal decay of the 80s and 90s, they cannot stop trees from regenerating in the Spring.

Nuclear Truckers: Warheads on 18 Wheels

Big rigs with bombs are secretly cruising the interstate near you. But how safe are they from terrorists or accidents? To find out, we sent Adam Weinstein to investigate…and haul ass after one on a long stretch of South Carolina lowcountry highway. YEEHAW.

(Plus, later today, we’ll share the list of headlines for this story that we rejected. They’re oh so good. And bad.)

US fires 1st drone in Pakistan in 6 weeks; 4 dead
BANNU, Pakistan (AP)—The U.S. carried out its first drone strike into Pakistan since errant November airstrikes by U.S. forces killed two dozen Pakistani troops along the Afghan border. The latest missile attack killed four militants.

North…

“Obama, the baby-faced Santorum proclaimed, is literally destroying (not just misunderstanding) the foundation of American society, as he and his relativist ilk refuse to adhere to absolutes. (“I do not believe life begins at conception,” Santorum told those college kids, “I know that life begins at conception.”) Obama, he charges, wants to play God, believing “we need leaders more capable of ruling us then of us ruling ourselves… Trust the planners, the smart people…our own nobility…who can do things better for us than we can do ourselves.”  At his final rally before Election Day, Santorum—whose campaign slogan is, “the Courage To Fight for America”—went all in: “If Barack Obama is reelected, then America as we know it will be gone. We will be a statist country. We will be a country that is no longer independent…The government…will control us.” His crowd of supporters—jammed into a pool-hall pub—cheered. Santorum, it seemed, was literally fighting for American independence.  ”

On the campaign trail, the Republican candidates attack each other but they do agree on one thing, reports David Corn: The president is the Other. (via motherjones)
