Stretching from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Pacific coasts of China and Russia, this land mass contains most of the world's territory, population and natural resources--oil in particular. Control that land and you control the world. Accordingly, the Nazis built alliances with the various Muslim populations (Arabs in particular) that are indigenous to many of the most important petroleum-producing regions. Writing in 1951, John Roy Carlson witnessed and chronicled the postwar Nazi recrudescence in the Middle East in Cairo to Damascus a work that has particular importance for students of the events of 9/11/2001." --Dave Emory http://spitfirelist.com/?page_id=269 (Abrahadabra!)

In our youth, it was our habit to stretch a taut cable from the Arc de Triomphe to the Eiffel Tower and walk across it carrying only a big stick. Our sense of balance was impeccable, to which we attributed long hikes in the hills. Our unconscious equilibrium oscillated thus: the less we hiked in convoluted mountains, the less we could keep our balance atop the thin, tight cable. A simple physiological equation! Once upon a time, when I was a small child visiting Portland Oregon, USA, with my family, it seemed like an interesting idea to watch the soles of my shoes ride the escalator step right down to and into the bottom edge where the metal step flattens and slides into the escalator's final disappearing descent. Curiously, where the teeth of the step meet the teeth of the escalator floor, the sole of one of my shoes (which I was of course wearing at the time) became entangled in the metallic teeth from which I could not remove my shoe or foot! Amazingly, I was completely unhurt, as the escalator was eventually turned off, and my shoe/foot disentangled; however, a small crowd of pale, white people had gathered to stare at me like mute zombies, which, more than anything else, made me cry. Meanwhile, many years later... "M. Night Shyamalan" wrote, produced, and directed a crappy movie, "The Happening," (a bit of a throw back to a Hitchcock thriller but without the Hitchcockian suspense), that had one interesting element in it: a short-lived airborne toxin triggered in plants which spontaneously develops an evolutionary defence mechanism against crowds of humans that leads people to kill themselves. Perhaps people are "falling over," more feverishly these days, because Planet Earth is getting an itchy rash it just can't quite scratch? Know the feeling? AND JUST WHO EXACTLY DOES "THE SUN" THINK IT IS ANYWAY?! Sun Goes Longer Than Normal Without Producing Sunspots ScienceDaily (June 9, 2008) http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080609124551.htm Excerpt: The sun has been laying low for the past couple of years, producing no sunspots and giving a break to satellites. That's good news for people who scramble when space weather interferes with their technology, but it became a point of discussion for the scientists who attended an international solar conference at Montana State University. Approximately 100 scientists from Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and North America gathered June 1-6 to talk about "Solar Variability, Earth's Climate and the Space Environment." The scientists said periods of inactivity are normal for the sun, but this period has gone on longer than usual. "It continues to be dead," said Saku Tsuneta with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, program manager for the Hinode solar mission. [...] The last cycle reached its peak in 2001 and is believed to be just ending now, Longcope said. The next cycle is just beginning and is expected to reach its peak sometime around 2012. Today's sun, however, is as inactive as it was two years ago, and scientists aren't sure why. "It's a dead face," Tsuneta said of the sun's appearance. Tsuneta said solar physicists aren't like weather forecasters; They can't predict the future. They do have the ability to observe, however, and they have observed a longer-than-normal period of solar inactivity. In the past, they observed that the sun once went 50 years without producing sunspots. That period, from approximately 1650 to 1700, occurred during the middle of a little ice age on Earth that lasted from as early as the mid-15th century to as late as the mid-19th century. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080609124551.htm http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/06/10/scientists-not-sure-why-sun-continues-to-be-dead/ THEN THERE'S THIS very ANNOYING: "The date December 21st, 2012 A.D. (13.0.0.0.0 in the Long Count), represents an extremely close conjunction of the Winter Solstice Sun with the crossing point of the Galactic Equator (Equator of the Milky Way) and the Ecliptic (path of the Sun), what that ancient Maya recognized as the Sacred Tree. This is an event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. It will come to resolution at exactly 11:11 am GMT." http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm WHICH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY TOPPLE ALL SORTS OF SOLES AND THEIR SHOE OWNERS SHIFTING PARADIGMS WILLY NILLY TOPSY TURVY AND SO ON ETC.! THE SUN bounces up and down as it wanders the galaxy hurling comets our way, maybe She feels alienated amid the Milky Way outskirts and would just as soon fade: http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/death/death.html Solar Radiation http://nsidc.org/arcticmet/factors/radiation.html Solar radiation drives atmospheric circulation. Since solar radiation represents almost all the energy available to the earth, accounting for solar radiation and how it interacts with the atmosphere and the earth's surface is fundamental to understanding the earth's energy budget. Solar radiation reaches the earth's surface either by being transmitted directly through the atmosphere ("direct solar radiation"), or y being scattered or reflected to the surface ("diffuse sky radiation"). About 50 percent of solar (or shortwave) radiation is reflected back into space, while the remaining shortwave radiation at the top of the atmosphere is absorbed by the earth's surface and re-radiated as thermal infrared (or longwave) radiation. The intensity of solar radiation striking a horizontal surface is measured by a pyranometer. The instrument consists of a sensor enclosed in a transparent hemisphere that records the total amount of shortwave incoming solar radiation. That is, pyranometers measure "global" or "total" radiation: the sum of direct solar and diffuse sky radiation. Incoming (or "downwelling") longwave radiation is measured with a pyrgeometer. Outgoing ("upwelling") longwave radiation is measured in various ways, such as with pyrgeometers or with sensors that measure the temperature of the surface. [...] Fluxes are positive downward and negative upwards. All radiation fluxes are expressed as energy per unit area (generally watts per square meter, or W/m^2). Accurate estimates of albedo are especially important as albedo places a fundamental limit on the amount of solar radiation that can be absorbed by the surface. For example, albedo strongly determines the rate of melt of sea ice. Over longer periods of time, changes in components of the radiation balance can be manifested in climate change. Factors Modifying the Role Solar Radiation Plays in the Earth's Energy Budget The most important factors influencing how much shortwave radiation reaches the earth's surface and how much is absorbed are time and day of year, cloud cover, and albedo. Time of Day and Year The intensity of solar radiation varies significantly over the course of a year ranging from no solar radiation during the polar winter to a maximum of 350 to 400 watts per square meter (W/m2) in the summer. Over the course of a day, the sun's angle above the horizon (solar altitude) influences the intensity of solar radiation: the noon sun is more intense than the rising or setting sun. The maximum altitude of the sun depends on time of year and latitude. Of course, during the polar winter the sun is below the horizon for 24 hours, and there is no solar radiation, while at midsummer the sun changes little in altitude over the course of a day. Cloud Cover Clouds reflect some incoming radiation back to space, thereby reducing the amount of radiation that reaches the earth's surface. However, clouds also re-radiate infrared energy back toward the earth's surface, thereby moderating the temperature of the lower atmosphere. Globally, clouds have a cooling effect on the earth-atmosphere system, because of their high albedos. In polar regions however, clouds seem to have a net warming effect as the reduction in solar radiation is outweighed by the effect of clouds in increasing longwave radiation to the surface. Albedo Incoming solar radiation that strikes the earth's surface is partially reflected and partially absorbed, in proportion to surface reflectivity (albedo). Darker surfaces have a lower albedo and absorb more solar energy than do lighter surfaces. The albedo of a surface is also a function of the incidence angle of solar radiation that is, the amount of solar energy a surface absorbs will depend on the solar altitude). Newly fallen snow has an albedo of approximately 0.90, meaning that it reflects about 90 percent of incoming radiation. In contrast, melting snow has an average albedo of 0.50, meaning that it absorbs 50 percent and reflects 50 percent of the incoming radiation. Because a darker surface absorbs more solar radiation, snow covered by dust (dirty snow) melts faster than clean snow. The albedo of sea ice varies with ice age, but when snow covered is on the order of 0.70. Open water absorbs the most radiation of all arctic surfaces. With an albedo of about 0.08, it reflects only 8 percent of the incoming radiation. However, the variation of albedo with solar altitude is especially pronounced for the surfaces of oceans and lakes. The albedo of a water surface increases with decreasing solar altitude and approaches a mirror-like 100 percent near sunrise and sunset, or when the sun is low in the arctic sky. Important changes in surface albedo can occur seasonally. Over land, heavy winter snow cover increases surface albedo considerably. In middle and high latitudes, significant increases in surface albedo accompany the winter formation of lake and sea ice. A comment about the seasonal cycle of solar radiation The following description of the seasonal cycle of solar radiation based on gridded global radiation fields has been drawn from the data section of the Arctic Climatology Project Arctic Meteorology and Climate Atlas. The field of global radiation for March shows a primarily zonal pattern, that is, one in which radiation decreases with latitude. This occurs because in March, the amount of solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere decreases sharply with increasing latitude. From April through August, latitudinal variations in solar radiation at the top of the atmosphere are less pronounced, so that cloud cover plays a strong role in determining the flux reaching the surface. Consequently, radiation patterns from April through August are very asymmetric. Fluxes are lowest over the Atlantic sector, where cloud cover is greatest. Fluxes peak over central Greenland from May through August. In large part, this illustrates the tendency for the high central portions of the ice sheet to be above the bulk of cloud cover. The highest fluxes are found in June because radiation at the top of the atmosphere peaks in June. Note for June the rather high fluxes over the central Arctic Ocean. This is largely explained in that cloud cover over this region is comparatively limited. From July onwards, radiation fluxes decline. September shows a zonal pattern, which as with March, arises from the strong latitudinal variation in solar flux at the top of the atmosphere for this month. http://nsidc.org/arcticmet/factors/radiation.html Sunlight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation Latest Images: 'SOLAR AND HELIOSPERIC OBSERVATORY'(SOHO) http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime-images.html Actually, I blame myself, in part, for the discombobulation, as a rambunctious parallel universe of multidimensional boderline personalities (who live under the stairs, inbetween floors, with shoe fetishes and sole-full stares) have from time to time got caught up in the mix of forwarded missives, on the fly, trans-temporally, mischeviously, playfully, indistinguishably incoherent babble now trailing off...

NO TIME! NO TIME! NO TIME! OKAY, There's always time for Jello! Yes, Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) had a marvelous insight, similarly, as once expressed in his: ETHER, GOD AND DEVIL (1949) / COSMIC SUPERIMPOSITION (1951) http://www.wilhelmreichmuseum.org/books.html There is a great excitement and interest today in what is described as the "paradigm shift" in science. Humanity's understanding of the universe and its place in it is changing dramatically. Ether, God and Devil (1949) and Cosmic Superimposition (1951) are two groundbreaking books that initiated the current paradigm shift long before the concept was popularized in Thomas Kuhn's 1962 work, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and the later works of such best selling authors as Fritjof Capra, Gary Zukav, Timothy Ferris, and many more. In Ether, God and Devil, Reich describes his process of thinking - which he called orgonomic functionalism - and shows how the inner logic of this objective thought technique led him to the discovery of the cosmic orgone energy. In Cosmic Superimposition, Reich steps out of our current framework of mechanistic-mystical thinking and comes to a radically different understanding of how man is rooted in nature. He shows clearly how the superimposition of two orgone energy streams - demonstrable in the human genital embrace and in the formation of spiral galaxies - is the common functioning principle in all of nature. Together, these two works usher in a fundamentally new view of humanity, nature, and man's place in the cosmos.

HA! HA! HYSTERICAL CACKLING!! Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory http://www.jhuapl.edu/newscenter/pressreleases/2008/080501.asp NASA Calls on APL to Send a Probe to the Sun The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is sending a spacecraft closer to the sun than any probe has ever gone -- and what it finds could revolutionize what we know about our star and the solar wind that influences everything in our solar system. NASA has tapped APL to develop the ambitious Solar Probe mission, which will study the streams of charged particles the sun hurls into space from a vantage point within the sun's corona -- its outer atmosphere -- where the processes that heat the corona and produce solar wind occur. At closest approach Solar Probe would zip past the sun at 125 miles per second, protected by a carbon-composite heat shield that must withstand up to 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit and survive blasts of radiation and energized dust at levels not experienced by any previous spacecraft. Experts in the U.S. and abroad have grappled with this mission concept for more than 30 years, running into seemingly insurmountable technology and budgetary limitations. But in February an APL-led team completed a Solar Probe engineering and mission design study at NASA's request, detailing just how the robotic mission could be accomplished. The study team used an APL-led 2005 study as its baseline, but then significantly altered the concept to meet challenging cost and technical conditions provided by NASA. "We knew we were on the right track," says Andrew Dantzler, Solar Probe project manager at APL. "Now we've put it all together in an innovative package; the technology is within reach, the concept is feasible and the entire mission can be done for less than $750 million [in fiscal 2007 dollars], or about the cost of a medium-class planetary mission. NASA decided it was time." APL will design and build the spacecraft, on a schedule to launch in 2015. The compact, solar-powered probe would weigh about 1,000 pounds; preliminary designs include a 9-foot-diameter, 6-inch-thick, carbon-foam-filled solar shield atop the spacecraft body. Two sets of solar arrays would retract or extend as the spacecraft swings toward or away from the sun during several loops around the inner solar system, making sure the panels stay at proper temperatures and power levels. At its closest passes the spacecraft must survive solar intensity more than 500 times what spacecraft experience while orbiting Earth. Solar Probe will use seven Venus flybys over nearly seven years to gradually shrink its orbit around the sun, coming as close as 4.1 million miles (6.6 million kilometers) to the sun, well within the orbit of Mercury and about eight times closer than any spacecraft has come before. Solar Probe will employ a combination of in-place and remote measurements to achieve the mission's primary scientific goals: determine the structure and dynamics of the magnetic fields at the sources of solar wind; trace the flow of energy that heats the corona and accelerates the solar wind; determine what mechanisms accelerate and transport energetic particles; and explore dusty plasma near the sun and its influence on solar wind and energetic particle formation. Details will be spelled out in a Solar Probe Science and Technology Definition Team study that NASA will release later this year. NASA will also release a separate Announcement of Opportunity for the spacecraft's science payload. "Solar Probe is a true mission of exploration," says Dr. Robert Decker, Solar Probe project scientist at APL. "For example, the spacecraft will go close enough to the sun to watch the solar wind speed up from subsonic to supersonic, and it will fly though the birthplace of the highest energy solar particles. And, as with all missions of discovery, Solar Probe is likely to raise more questions than it answers." APL's experience in developing spacecraft to study the sun-Earth relationship -- or to work near the sun -- includes ACE, which recently marked its 10th year of sampling energetic particles between Earth and the sun; TIMED, currently examining solar effects on Earth's upper atmosphere; the twin STEREO probes, which have snapped the first 3-D images of explosive solar events called coronal mass ejections; and the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, which will examine the regions of energetic particles trapped by Earth's magnetic field. Solar Probe will be fortified with heat-resistant technologies developed for APL's MESSENGER spacecraft, which completed its first flyby of Mercury in January and will begin orbiting that planet in 2011. Solar Probe's solar shield concept was partially influenced by designs of MESSENGER's sunshade. Solar Probe is part of NASA's Living with a Star Program, designed to learn more about the sun and its effects on planetary systems and human activities. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., manages the program for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters, Washington.
