This
image
released
by NASA
on Monday
is a
view of
an X1
solar
flare in
a new
active
region
on the
sun,
Region
1429. It
has let
loose
two
M-class
flares
and one
X-class
so far.
The
M-class
flares
erupted
on
Friday
and
Sunday.
The
third
flare,
rated an
X1,
peaked
at 10:30
ET Sunday.
A
coronal
mass
ejection
accompanied
each
flare,
though
due to
the fact
that
this
active
region
is still
off to
the side
of the
sun,
they
will
likely
have a
weak
effect
on
Earth's
magnetosphere.

In
this file photo
taken Sept. 20,
2011, at the
Ronald Reagan
Presidential
Library and
Museum in Simi
Valley, Calif.,
former Vice
President Dick
Cheney shows his
heart pump while
discussing his
newly published
book, "In My
Time -- A
Personal and
Political
Memoir," which
is co-authored
by his daughter
Liz Cheney.
The American
Heart
Association is
urging doctors
to talk more
honestly with
people who have
very weak hearts
and are
considering
pumps,
pacemakers, new
valves or
procedures to
open clogged
arteries.
Too often,
patients with
advanced heart
failure don't
realize what
they are getting
into when they
agree to a
treatment, and
doctors assume
they want
everything
possible done to
keep them alive,
says the new
advice,
published
Monday by the
American Heart
Association and
endorsed by
other medical
groups.
Because of the increased risk of contaminated water or
poor living conditions during a disaster or emergency,
the continuation of breastfeeding is especially
important because human breastmilk contains all the
nutrients a baby needs.
For more information,
contact the breastfeeding peer counselor at the Logan
County Department of Public Health, 217-735-2317, ext.
