OT: Solar Storms to Impact Earth Thursday!

 

From the "how do we know this?" file -- comes this report today from the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (I don't get this channel on cable...):

The sun had two (2) solar flares yesterday and two (2) coronal mass ejections -- THAT SOUNDS SERIOUS...

Whatever all that means, around 1:25 AM ET TONIGHT -- these particles, which are hurling towards earth at 3 million to 4 million miles an hour -- could begin causing disruption to GPS, power grids, and some air flights near the poles.  Stay tuned!

ND Prof Tim Judge Getting Plenty of Attention

Timothy Judge, professor of management at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business has gotten the attention of the national media -- this past year -- for his "topical and engaging" research on subjects such as "do nice guys finish last,?" and "how do you define success?"

Enjoy!

They Are & Will Be Champions -- NEXT!

The University of Notre Dame's #3 ranked Fightin' Irish women's basketball team were beaten last night by UCONN in the Big East Championship game.  A home game for the HUSKIES, ND just couldn't put the ball in the basket -- scoring a season low total of points (54), shooting a dismal 32% from the field and 64% from the free throw line.

All IRISH EYES are now on the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP -- where the IRISH will be a #1 seed.  The only unknown is will Notre Dame be ranked #2, #3 or #4 overall in the tournament.  We'll find out Sunday.
