Space Weather News for July 31, 2008
SOLAR ECLIPSE: On Friday, August 1st, the Moon will pass directly in front of the Sun producing a total solar eclipse. The narrow path of totality stretches from arctic Canada through Greenland, Siberia, and Mongolia, and comes to an end in China where millions of people will witness the event.
Even more people will see the partial eclipse, visible from almost all of Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia and a corner of North America.
The action begins at approximately 09:20 UT (5:20 am EDT) when the Moon's shadow first hits Earth in northern Canada and begins its rapid sweep toward China.
Visit SpaceWeather.com for photos, webcasts, timetables and full coverage of the eclipse. #

On August 17, 2007 I wrote a post about the NYSE's Pre-Natal Eclipse Series - which repeats tomorrow, Aug 1, 2008, along with a few notes from astrologer Sybil Leek concerning Neptune in Scorpio, sign of big business and marking the start of living beyond one's means bwo credit cards, plus some comments on Ben Bernanke. (Given today's financial mess the 'experts' have dumped us in, I want to type Stanky Bernanke but guess I'd better not. What then would I call the rest of 'em?)
Anyway, here's the post link if you'd like to peruse:

Obama and McCain enlist meltdown culprits
Obama and McCain Suck Up to the Bankers
By Robert Scheer
Both of our leading presidential candidates are scrambling to enlist not only the big-dollar contributions but, more frighteningly, the "expertise" of the very folks who advocated the financial industry deregulations at the heart of this meltdown.

Justice Officials Repeatedly Broke Law on Hiring, Report Says July 28, 2008
Former Justice Department counselor Monica M. Goodling and former chief of staff D. Kyle Sampson routinely broke the law by conducting political litmus tests on candidates for jobs as immigration judges and line prosecutors, according to an inspector general's report released today.
Goodling passed over hundreds of qualified applicants and squashed the promotions of others after deeming candidates insufficiently loyal to the Republican party, said investigators, who interviewed 85 people and received information from 300 other job seekers at Justice.
Sampson developed a system to screen immigration judge candidates based on improper political considerations and routinely took recommendations from the White House Office of Political Affairs and Presidential Personnel, the report said. Goodling regularly asked candidates for career jobs, "What is it about George W. Bush that makes you want to serve him?" the report said.#

August 1 Eclipse scares up: The Mummy!
The Mummy is being released on August 1, the very day of the Solar Eclipse from the 10 South Series.
The Pluto-inspired The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor looks pretty good in the trailer so I've provided a link for viewing it in the above post along with Eclipse details in case you've missed them. Pluto, the Dragon is rising, it seems...along with China whose symbol is The Dragon.

Egypt seizes Israeli radioactive cargo July 28, 2008
Egypt has refused to allow entry to an Israeli truck carrying 3.5 tone of ceramics after high radiation levels were detected in the shipment. Egyptian officials seized the goods at the Al-Oja border crossing after radiation detection equipment showed a high presence of radioactive material in the cargo, a security official told AFP. A special team from the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) was expected to inspect the shipment immediately, he added.#
NPR news at noon: Bush's deficit will be much higher than projected just 5 months ago. Guess he forgot to move a decimel point.
