National Research Council Request "Immediate" Study of Sun-Earth Connection
 |
A new report from the National Research Council presents a prioritized program of basic and applied research for 2013-2022 that will advance scientific understanding of the Sun, Sun-Earth connections and the origins of "space weather," and the Sun's interactions with other bodies in the solar system. Immediate recommended actions include completion of projects in the current program of NASA and the National Science Foundation, creation of a new "mid-scale" line of projects at NSF, augmentation of NASA and NSF "enabling" programs, and acceleration and expansion of NASA's Heliophysics Explorer Program. The report also recommends beginning later in the decade new moderate-size NASA missions to address high-priority science targets, as well as a multiagency initiative to address pressing needs for improved forecasts of space weather and predictions of its impacts on society.

Geomagnetic Reversal and Migratory Species
 |
Due to the increasing geomagnetic transitional period as described above, magnetic ley-lines are reorienting into various and unpredictable north-south east-west zones. For migrating species, the problem appears to be worsening, causing great concern to biologists and zoologist. Increasing numbers of whales and dolphins are also getting disoriented to the point where they get stranded in shallows. Mammals that have been rescued and directed back to sea are found stranded once again, sometimes on the same beach, as if being guided.

Hunt Is On for Gravity Waves in Space-Time

Because black holes are impossible to see, one of scientists' best hopes to study them is to look for the ripples in space-time, called gravitational waves, that they are thought to create.

Tropical Storm Gordon Forming
 |
The Atlantic hurricane season’s next named storm is likely to arrive today, as a low pressure system near Bermuda strengthens. The National Hurricane Center is forecasting an 80 percent chance that the system will become a tropical depression as early as today. If Gordon forms as expected, the storm will not pose a threat to the U.S. Forecasters say the storm will travel a little farther northwest today, and then recurve northeastward out to sea by tomorrow.

Powerful Spinning Star May be Fastest Stellar Runaway

Before you go running up your credit cards, let's remember, this is a process that takes a few thousand years. However, questions are seriously being viewed as to how far along we are on this 10,000 year cycle.

Snow in August? It's steamy now, but forecasters see a big winter coming.
It's an August of steamy heat and rattling air conditioners, but the long-range forecasts are out: The big cities of the Northeast corridor should expect no repeat of last winter's snow drought.

NEW YORK
Last winter, big cities like New York and Philadelphia saved a lot of money because the Northeast had a snow drought. Not so this winter.

Yes, even while air conditioners are still running, meteorologists are beginning to focus on the long-term winter weather forecast. And, it looks as if the I-95-corridor cities from Washington to Boston will need to make sure the plows are gassed up and rock salt plentiful.
“I think the East Coast is going to have some battles with some big storms,” says Paul Pastelok, Accu-Weather’s lead long-term forecaster in State College, Pa.
However, Mr. Pastelok predicts the battles won’t start until January and then will extend into February. “November in the Northeast could be above-normal temperatures and below-normal precipitation, and December could be a transition month,” he says. “By January and February it’s going to get pretty cold.”

The cold will collide with moisture flowing up the East Coast, he says, resulting in some big snowstorms that could create travel problems, close school systems and create challenges for retailers.
“The good news is that the winter will be good for hats, gloves, scarves, rock salt, and the plowing industry,” says Scott Bernhardt, president of Planalytics, Inc. a business weather intelligence service in Berwyn, Pa. “It’s bad for store traffic, because other than urban areas it’s hard to get around, and restaurants also take a hit because people just don’t go out.”
Mr. Bernhardt says the possibility of a severe winter has yet to hit some of the businesses he talks to. “It’s crazy how many businesses plan off last year,” he says. “And, it’s a no-brainer that it’s not going to be as nice as last year.”
Last year, the worst snowstorm in the Northeast occurred in late October, when some areas got as much as twelve inches of snow. The precipitation came at a time when the trees in most areas still had their leaves. As a result, the snow toppled trees and branches onto power lines, causing massive power outages that lasted as long as two weeks for some homeowners.
The difference this year is that a powerful current that runs along the coast of South America is in the process of shifting from a La Nina, with colder water temperatures, to an El Nino, which results in warmer seawater temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific. “It changes the weather patterns,” says Pastelok.
Using this summer’s weather as a template, Pastelok looked for what happened in the winter in other years when a weak to moderate El Nino formed. He found a similar pattern in 2002/2003 and 1953/1954.
In those years, storms early in the season drenched the Southeast and then headed out to sea. But, then later in the winter, the snows came.
According to the National Weather Service office in Boston, the winter of 2002/2003 featured below-normal temperatures and above-normal snowfall in many locations. “It was the coldest winter in nine years since 1993-1994,” wrote the Weather Service, noting that it was a “stark contrast” to the prior winter, which was the mildest on record. In 2002/2003, the temperature was 10 degrees colder than 2001/2002.
Pastelok thinks the Southeast could actually get the worst of it this winter. He can envision flooding in the late fall followed by snow and ice this winter all the way down to the Gulf Coast. “Tallahasseecould have some snow and ice issues this winter,” he forecasts.
He says the middle of the country is harder to forecast. In general, he anticipates the Central Plains will get drier again. That area has been suffering from a drought but has recently had some precipitation. “We will know better in October,” he says. The weather forecasters will issue a more detailed winter forecast at that point.

Mother Earth
Mother earth is crying
Because God’s creation is dying
It’s time for a great change in her
We have forgotten she is our mother
The signs of the times are upon us now
We need to help save her somehow
What is it that you can do that hasn’t been done
She’s our mother, we are one
We’ll spoil the seas with the rivers we’ve lost
Time to move no matter the cost
Things aren’t what they used to be
There’s only one earth, can’t you see
What you do to her today
May just determine if you get to stay
Either way there’s no turning back
We’re past the half way point, that’s a fact
It’s nice to have a home, a place to stay
But will it sill be here another day
Fix it you say, what’s her diseasement
Man’s pollution makes her lament
I didn’t do it, you try to say
Someone else did, just the other day
What’s the cost to make her well
I don’t think you’re rich enough to tell
Repair parts can’t be found
Even if you turn the world upside down
Is there no remedy, no cure
What ails her no one knows for sure
Is she just sick or is she dying
Why do so many people give up trying
Some say she’s going to give birth
To a new heaven on earth
But how can that be so
Birth pains have started, don’t you know
See chemtrails in the sky, poison in the rain
Touch her skin then feel her pain
Look at the holes on her tree’s leaves
Bio-warfare, many forgotten beliefs
Her Birth pains are so great
Realize what they’re doing, before it’s too late
You are the one, the chosen son
To stop the destruction ,make it undone
But if nobody really cares to see the danger
Who’s causing it, who’s that (NWO) stranger
What a strange time this is going to be
Will we make it, will people then see
Not much left down here to do
Space brothers can save the planet & you too
That’s not so easy you say
Then you better wake up and start today
I know there’s plenty of help around
Round them up where they can be found
I don’t know how long I want to stay
Is there a space ship leaving sometime today
