An 'Extreme' Solar Flare Just Erupted At Earth
An X-Class solar flare — the most dangerous kind — erupted from the sun toward Earth today at 1:46 p.m. EDT from Active Region 2158.
It's still unclear whether and to what extent the flare will affect power grids, satellites, or radio transmissions on Earth. But whether it wreaks havoc or not, it will be stunning to behold.
But either way, tomorrow we will be able to see the flare in action, live on the Internet. The Slooh Space Telescope will be transmitting video of the sun from Prescott, Arizona, beginning on Thursday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. EDT.
"What solar experts fear most," Slooh astronomer Bob Berman said in a statement, "is a recurrence of the huge Coronal Mass Ejection events of 1921 and 1859."
Officials at NOAA's Space Weather Center think this flare may have created a CME, but can't be sure yet or be sure how strong it may be. CMEs are the blast of plasma fired off by very active flares. They can trigger geomagnetic storms on Earth two to three days after erupting from the sun, according to Space.com. They also create spectacular aurora.
According to Berman: "A government-sponsored panel in 2008 estimated that such a solar event today would likely destroy the US electrical grid, inflict a staggering $1 to $2 trillion dollars worth of damage, and require over a year to repair. So it's more than of mere academic interest to monitor and observe these violent events as they unfold. Plus, they're amazing to watch."
One of these dangerously strong solar flares barely missed Earth in 2012 — had it exploded outward from the sun just a week later, it would have cause catastrophic damage to our electrical systems. This time around, the flare "poses no danger to anyone on Earth or the astronauts living aboard the International Space Station," according to Space.com.
But that being said, there could be impacts on high-frequency (HF) radio communications. "Impacts to HF radio communications on the daylight side of Earth are expected to last for more than an hour," according to NOAA's Space Weather website.
As well as watching the solar flare in real time, viewers can ask questions of Slooh's astronomers on Twitter, using the hashtag #Sloohflare, during the broadcast. Watch the livestream here, starting at 1 p.m. EDT on Thursday, September 11. Here's a full list of times to watch around the world.

Spurt in Home Office Start-Ups Drives the Stationery Products Market, According to an Upcoming Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA initiates research coverage on the global “Stationery Products” market, as part of its ongoing multiple research projects on diverse industries. The soon to be released report identifies workforce mobility and proliferation of home offices, as primary growth drivers in the market.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) September 11, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – GIA is pleased to announce the launch of a major research program analysing the trends impacting the market for “Stationery Products”. Invited to participate in this comprehensive grassroots level global research initiative are senior industry executives, domain experts, technologists and market strategists. The new report to be issued shortly will offer accurate assessment of global market developments including major technologies, trends and challenges, together with descriptive, exploratory, and quantitative analysis of major product and geographic market segments. For details about how you can participate in this primary research program, please click here.
Despite the dawn of the computer age and the paperless era, demand for stationery products continues to witness steady gains. The advent of computers has in-effect created a new category of computer stationery comprising of printing papers and inked ribbons, marking devices, and labels. Despite the use of computers, consumers still prefer printed bills, receipts and bank statements. Use of computers generates more information and creates greater need for paperwork, which in turn results in increased demand for pens and highlighters. Physical and tangible paper documents will continue to be important notwithstanding the hype over electronic documents. The growing base of student community in developing countries is also expected to spur growth in the market with primary variables influencing purchase decision being price, quality and convenience. Increase in corporate downsizing, de-layering and strong penetration of high-speed broadband internet are encouraging the proliferation of home offices thus benefitting demand for writing instruments, paper/pads, clips/staples, binders/portfolios and personal accessories. Product innovation in writing instruments in terms of ergonomically designed barrels, rubber grips, fashionable colors and styles are additionally helping keep consumer interest kindled. Future growth in the market is forecast to stem from developing countries in Asia-Pacific supported by increase in literacy rates, rise number of school enrollments per year, increase in business development activities and subsequent rise in the number of office establishments. Government sponsored education programs typically in rural areas will also boost market prospects for school supplies in the region.
The upcoming report will offer coverage on major companies including Archies Limited, Aurora DUE s.r.l. Avery Dennison Corporation, Camlin Ltd., DS Smith Plc, Hallmark Cards Inc., Pilot Corporation, and ST Dupont SA, among others.
In addition, the study will also provide:· Valuable market based intelligence on new emerging trends, growth drivers, issues and challenges.
· Current coverage on company information and latest news and events including strategic corporate developments, and product innovations
· Fresh research perspectives, statistical findings, analyst analysis, and commentaries
· Accurate market estimates, projections, and forecasts across product groups/segments (Carbon Paper & Inked Ribbons, Greeting Cards, Mailing Supplies (Padded Envelopes, Paper-based Envelopes and Sealing Tapes), Marking Devices (Hand Stamps, Stencils, and Other Marking Devices), Paper-based Stationery Products (Address/Phone Books, Binders, Calendars, Diaries, Exercise Books, File Folders & Holders, Indexing Products, Message Notes, Notebooks, Organizers, Business Forms & Books, Scrap Books, Writing Pads/Tablets and Writing/Printing/Copying), Party Goods, Writing Instruments (Pens/Markers-Ballpoint Pens, Markers/Highlighters, Roller Pens, Mechanical Pens, Porous Point Pens and Fountain Pens; Pencils/Art Goods- Wood-cased Pencils/Crayons, Mechanical Pencils, Artists' Equipment and Other Art Goods), and Miscellaneous Stationery Products) and major geographic markets (the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan), Middle East/Africa and Latin America).

Big solar storm heading toward Earth
This is not your usual weather forecast. Big storms are brewing. Your umbrella won't help, but you might want to keep a flashlight handy.
These storms are coming from the sun. It's raining down a huge amount of radiation. We're safe, but it could affect power grids, radios and satellites.
Experts say the combined energy from two recent solar events will arrive at Earth on September 13, prompting the Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch.
Whaat kind of watch? Basically, the sun is a giant ball of gas -- 92.1% hydrogen and 7.8% helium. Every now and then it spits out a giant burst of radiation called a coronal mass ejection, or CME.
CMEs are sometimes associated with solar flares, the most explosive events in the solar system. The sun has released two CMEs in the past two days and both are linked to solar flares. NASA says the second flare is an X1.6 class, putting it in the most intense category.
The energy from those two CMEs is heading toward Earth.
Space weather experts aren't sure yet what this solar storm will do.
"This is a pretty strong solar storm and we just won't know until it gets here" what it will do, said CNN Meteorologist Chad Meyers.
Earth's atmosphere usually protects us humans, but you might want to keep a flashlight handy. Solar storms can knock out power, interfere with GPS and radio communications -- including those on commercial airliners -- and they can damage satellites.
On March 13, 1989, a solar storm knocked out power for the entire province of Quebec for 12 hours. Power grids in the U.S. were impacted, but didn't have blackouts. NASA says some satellites tumbled out of control for hours during what's known as the Quebec Blackout. The Space Shuttle Discovery was in orbit at the time and had a mysterious sensor problem that went away after the storm, NASA says.
On the upside, solar storms also create beautiful aurora. Aurora watchers in the northern U.S. should be watching the skies on Thursday and Friday nights. Reported by Click Orlando 18 hours ago.

Strong Solar Storm Will Hit Earth Starting Thursday Night, Scientists Say
Energy from two significant solar flares is hurtling toward the Earth, and is predicted to hit the planet's magnetic field beginning on Thursday night and lasting through Saturday, scientists said Thursday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which monitors space weather, has issued a G3 or "strong" geomagnetic storm watch for Friday, due to the combined influence of two coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, that were associated with the solar flares
Coronal mass ejections, which are essentially magnetic clouds ejected at high velocity from the sun, can affect the electricity grid, radio transmissions and GPS signals, among other things, when they interact with the planet's magnetic field. One benefit of this event, though, could be a significant display of the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. According to NOAA scientists, the Northern Lights may be visible on Friday night as far south as New York City, Chicago, Illinois and Seattle, Washington. Read more...

"Extreme Weight Loss" Former Cast Member Finds New Calling at University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center After Emotional Transformation
Bruce Pitcher, a fan-favorite with viewers, is now a motivational coach for the brand new Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp program designed for anyone with 20 pounds or more to lose. This first-time boot camp was inspired by the TV show and teaches attendees the same weight loss secrets the cast members learn.
Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) September 12, 2014
Bruce Pitcher, cast member from season four of the ABC series “Extreme Weight Loss,” is now taking on the role of motivational coach for Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. “Extreme Weight Loss” is produced for ABC by Eyeworks USA.
“I’m thrilled to serve these brave individuals as they embark on their transformational journey,” says Pitcher. “To adopt a new mindset and new habits isn’t easy, but Holly Wyatt, MD and James O. Hill from the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will guide them through this journey with the best practices for a lifetime of success. I feel I can contribute in a meaningful way as a former obese person. I am just part of a much bigger team.”
Pitcher, who lost 201 pounds during his 365-day transformation in 2013, is a native of Utah and a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of his father. Regardless of his life struggles, Pitcher is no stranger to being a positive influence on others. When he graduated from Orem high school in Provo, Utah in 2002, he was recognized for his motivational skills and positive influence, and was hired as an assistant football coach at neighboring Timpview High School. Despite being surrounded by athletes, Pitcher continued to gain weight through the years due to the unresolved issues in his life.
“Each person I meet with weight issues has a life-story of struggle that has put them where they are today: fighting negativity, insecurity, self-loathing and other internal issues that keep them from realizing their true potential,” says Chris Powell, transformation specialist from the ABC television show, “Extreme Weight Loss.” “It’s about cutting through all of that and finding the real person inside who is waiting to emerge. No one can help do that better than Bruce, who has lived it and came through a hero!”
Today, Pitcher, perceived by many as a leader not only in weight loss, but also in transformation, has quickly gained thousands of fans and followers on social media. His life journey as a survivor of abuse struck a chord with many viewers when it was shared on his episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” that aired June 24, 2014.Follow Bruce on Twitter and Facebook.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp will be under the direction of Holly Wyatt, MD. Wyatt is the medical director for the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center and for the “Extreme Weight Loss” television show. She is a guiding force, along with series trainers and transformation specialists Chris and Heidi Powell, in helping the show’s participants safely lose weight and change their mindsets.
“Many of the changes these people make have nothing to do with diet or exercise,” said Wyatt. “We know the most challenging part is developing a new way of thinking so you are successful at keeping the weight off long-term.”
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp attendees will participate in daily sessions of physical activity, self-discovery exercises and nutrition education. Each also will receive body composition, personalized nutritional analysis and comprehensive wellness assessments. The program is based on principles outlined in State of Slim, a book written by Wyatt and James O. Hill, PhD, executive director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center.
“We have 20 years of experience and science backing up the principles we share,” said Wyatt. “In addition to looking at nutrition and fitness, we will assess body composition, individual metabolic fitness, as well as sleep and stress levels to give participants a look at what they already do well and what they might need to work on.”

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) September 12, 2014
Bruce Pitcher, cast member from season four of the ABC series “Extreme Weight Loss,” is now taking on the role of motivational coach for Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp at the renowned University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora, Colo. “Extreme Weight Loss” is produced for ABC by Eyeworks USA.
“I’m thrilled to serve these brave individuals as they embark on their transformational journey,” says Pitcher. “To adopt a new mindset and new habits isn’t easy, but Holly Wyatt, MD and James O. Hill from the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will guide them through this journey with the best practices for a lifetime of success. I feel I can contribute in a meaningful way as a former obese person. I am just part of a much bigger team.”
Pitcher, who lost 201 pounds during his 365-day transformation in 2013, is a native of Utah and a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of his father. Regardless of his life struggles, Pitcher is no stranger to being a positive influence on others. When he graduated from Orem high school in Provo, Utah in 2002, he was recognized for his motivational skills and positive influence, and was hired as an assistant football coach at neighboring Timpview High School. Despite being surrounded by athletes, Pitcher continued to gain weight through the years due to the unresolved issues in his life.
“Each person I meet with weight issues has a life-story of struggle that has put them where they are today: fighting negativity, insecurity, self-loathing and other internal issues that keep them from realizing their true potential,” says Chris Powell, transformation specialist from the ABC television show, “Extreme Weight Loss.” “It’s about cutting through all of that and finding the real person inside who is waiting to emerge. No one can help do that better than Bruce, who has lived it and came through a hero!”
Today, Pitcher, perceived by many as a leader not only in weight loss, but also in transformation, has quickly gained thousands of fans and followers on social media. His life journey as a survivor of abuse struck a chord with many viewers when it was shared on his episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” that aired June 24, 2014.Follow Bruce on Twitter and Facebook.
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp will be under the direction of Holly Wyatt, MD. Wyatt is the medical director for the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center and for the “Extreme Weight Loss” television show. She is a guiding force, along with series trainers and transformation specialists Chris and Heidi Powell, in helping the show’s participants safely lose weight and change their mindsets.
“Many of the changes these people make have nothing to do with diet or exercise,” said Wyatt. “We know the most challenging part is developing a new way of thinking so you are successful at keeping the weight off long-term.”
Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp attendees will participate in daily sessions of physical activity, self-discovery exercises and nutrition education. Each also will receive body composition, personalized nutritional analysis and comprehensive wellness assessments. The program is based on principles outlined in State of Slim, a book written by Wyatt and James O. Hill, PhD, executive director of the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center.
“We have 20 years of experience and science backing up the principles we share,” said Wyatt. “In addition to looking at nutrition and fitness, we will assess body composition, individual metabolic fitness, as well as sleep and stress levels to give participants a look at what they already do well and what they might need to work on.”
