U.S. Open 2012: Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson And Luke Donald Miss Cut At Olympic Club

SAN FRANCISCO -- The record-setting U.S. Open winner. The Masters champion. The top-ranked player in the world.

Gone. Gone. Gone.

The Olympic Club clobbered Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson and Luke Donald in two rounds at the U.S. Open, sending some of the most prominent players on the planet home before the weekend. All three missed the cut, looking more like amateurs at a local course than professionals in a major championship.

"Disappointed," said McIlroy, the second-ranked player who finished at 268 last year at Congressional to break the 72-hole record by four shots. "It wasn't the way I wanted to play."

Not even close.

World No. 1 Luke Donald finished at 11-over par, McIlroy 10 over and Watson 9 over. While 65 players were good enough to hang around at 8 over or better, the three stars were among 91 others not quite ready for "golf's toughest test."

So long, San Francisco.

"I felt a little uncomfortable," Donald said. "I felt I wasn't compressing the ball like I should have been. I didn't have quite the full control. In previous years, I probably would have panicked a little bit. But I tried to go out and just kind of trust it and even in the practice days I wasn't quite comfortable."

Feeling uneasy is exactly what organizers wanted.

That, and a smaller field on the weekend.

The USGA decided this year to eliminate the 10-shot rule in which players within 10 strokes of the lead make the cut. Starting at this year's championship, the cut was the top 60 and ties.

USGA executive director Mike Davis said the idea behind the new rule was to limit the number of players making the cut ? 108 did so Oakland Hills in 1996 ? and prevent slow play that could force a two-tee start in threesomes.

The flip side was 1993, when Ernie Els made the cut because of the 10-shot rule. He closed with 68-67 on the weekend to tie for seventh, which made him exempt for qualifying the following year. Els won that next year at Oakmont for the first of his three majors.

Watson, 2010 British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and Dustin Johnson were among the notables who would've been spared this year. So would've Casey Martin and his cart, too.

"I haven't really looked at the leaderboard," said Phil Mickelson, whose second-round 71 put him at 7 over and safe. "I've been more on the cut line."

Donald came to the U.S. Open with six wins in the past 18 months, more than any other player. Last year, the 34-year-old Englishman pulled off an unprecedented feat by topping the money lists on both the PGA and European tours.

Now he'll probably miss the weekend for the third time in nine U.S. Open starts.

Donald followed his birdie-free 79 ? which even 14-year-old qualifier Andy Zhang matched Thursday ? with a less erratic second round. He had five bogeys and three birdies to card a 72, coming up empty in yet another major.

"That's the one part of my golfing resume in the last few years, especially, that I need to continually address and continually improve," Donald said. "I want to win one more than any of you guys know."

At least one person didn't care.

Donald was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the Queen Elizabeth II's birthday honors list released Saturday for spending almost a year at the top of golf's world ranking.

"Not sure the Queen will be watching," Donald joked earlier this week in response to a curious British reporter's question. "But who knows?"

Her Majesty won't have the chance.

The fast and fickle fairways some of the game's top players hacking out of rough and digging into sand for shots. Others searched for balls in the colossal cypress trees or pushed putts all over the rock-hard greens. Some did all of them.

The only thing more startling than the top-ranked player's early exit was last year's champion.

McIlroy mixed five bogeys ? including one on his final hole ? with a pair of birdies in the second round a day after he posted a 77. The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland shattered U.S. Open records last June at rain-softened Congressional, finishing at 268 to break the 72-hole record by four shots, and his 16-under total was four better than Woods' mark at Pebble Beach in 2000.

What a pushover that course look like now.

"It's just the course is so tough with the reverse cambers and you hit it in the middle of the fairway sometimes it doesn't hold and you're in the rough and when you hit it in the rough it makes it difficult,' McIlroy said about Olympic. "They set it up like a real classic U.S. Open."

Chris Brown Talks To Police In Drake Fight Investigation

Breezy's lawyer turned over 'physical evidence' that allegedly implicates Drake.
By Gil Kaufman

We may never know exactly what sparked the bottle-flying melee between Chris Brown and Drake at New York nightclub W.i.P.
 on Wednesday night, but police will definitely get at least one side of the story.

According to TMZ, Brown has given a statement to NYPD investigators about the scuffle that left him with a gash on his chin and seriously injured one of his bodyguards, Big Pat. Unnamed law enforcement sources told the site that Brown's celebrity lawyer, Mark Geragos, has handed over unspecified "physical evidence" that allegedly implicates Drake in the fight.

One of the rappers hanging with Drake that night, Meek Mill, has denied reports that he set the fight off by tossing a bottle at Brown's group. Drake has also said he had nothing to do with the melee, issuing a statement on Thursday that read, "Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. [Drake] did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property."

TMZ added that Geragos presented evidence to the NYPD on Thursday that allegedly showed that Drake and Meek were the aggressors, just hours after Breezy spoke to cops. Police say neither Brown nor Drake are currently suspects in the case and the Brown is being treated as a "witness and a victim." And while Drake has reportedly been "cooperating" with investigators and his representatives have had conversations with police, it was unclear at press time if the rapper had been involved in any direct talks with detectives.

Citing unnamed sources, TMZ claimed that the instigator may have been someone in Brown's camp who was "inciting Drake and his people all night."

Another video shows footage of Chris Brown and Mill leaving the club. Meek was spotted walking down the sidewalk, while Brown takes off his shirt before getting into a black SUV. Drake is also in the clip, but he is partially hidden in the crowd. Trey Songz was also filmed walking out of the club. The video, posted by We Mobbin DVD, implies that more footage will soon find its way online, for a price, including footage of the actual fight.

A bystander who was injured in the incident, 24-year-old Australian tourist Hollie C., has filed a police report after getting hit in the head by a bottle.

She sustained a gash that required 16 stitches and on Thursday she posted a video in which she lashed out at the perpetrators. "I went out last night with my friends to a place called W.i.P. and I've spent most of the night and morning in hospital ... the reason why I have 16 stitches on my head, my face is because of some stupid famous people having a fight over a girl. Where's the justice in them walking away, driving away in a limo while I have to catch a train home on one of my holidays?"

Single Dad Beaver Learns To Care For Family After Mate Dies (VIDEO)

Life as a single parent can be rough, but one beaver Dad rose to the challenge -- a fitting reminder, as Father's Day nears, that nature equips fathers with everything it takes, and a timely tribute to all the human single dads out there.

After mourning the loss of his female mate, "Dad" the beaver had to learn how to care for his family on his own. After all, he still had three young kits to look after, Discovery News' Jennifer Viegas first reported.

But officials at Worth A Dam wondered if the he could do it.

"Would they learn everything they needed to know without a mother?" Heidi Perryman, president and founder of the organization, told Discovery News.

Although "Dad" and his partner raised 12 kits together, the single father stepped up to the plate and managed to take on his new role like a pro, handling everything from diving lessons to dinner.

According to National Geographic, beavers maintain monogamous relationships with their mates and live in lodges with their family.

New offspring are born each spring and often scurry off to build their own homes at about 2 years of age, Beavers: Wetlands and Wildlife notes.

The older children or "yearlings" often look after the younger ones when their parents are away.

In addition to beavers, at least 11 other animals also remain true to their loved ones, according to Mother Nature Network. Wolves, swans and gibbons are just some of the creatures that practice monogamy.

PBS points out that while females are usually the primary caretakers in most animal relationships, some "dads" do take active roles in their offsprings' lives.

Aside from looking after his mate while she nurses, the male Red Fox teaches his pups self-defense and survival skills. And the male emperor penguin keeps his mate's egg warm during winter and produces milk to feed his offspring.

DefaultGoogle Music mis-sorting music
When I use the Google Music app on my HTC Thunderbolt the music is not correctly sorted. When I try to play Steve Miller Band's "Greatest Hits" album it also lists the songs from Cheap Trick, Tom Petty and every other band's "Greatest Hits" albums I have. It appears to be grouping all of the albums with the title "Greatest Hits" together. However, when I view my music online the incorrect grouping does not occur so I can listen to the desired album by streaming to my computer just fine.

Also, when I view the albums online each has the correct album art and band name but on my phone all of them default to the Cheap Trick album art and Tom Petty band name.

Any ideas how to correct this?

Samsonite says suitcase handles won't cause cancer

Samsonite, the world's largest branded luggage maker, is fighting claims its suitcase handles contain cancer-causing materials.?

The world's largest branded luggage manufacturer says three of its brands are "completely safe" ? even though an Asian consumer watchdog says handles on the suitcase models contain known carcinogens.

Choice Magazine, a monthly published by the Hong Kong Consumer Council, reported in its June edition that Tokyo Chic, Cubelite and Westlake lines of Samsonite luggage contain materials that could cause cancer. Stock in Samsonite International SA immediately fell 16 percent in Hong Kong trading.

Based in Mansfield, Mass., Samsonite on Friday issued a statement saying it had sent samples to an independent laboratory, and the models are safe for use. Bloomberg News reported the exchange, Friday.

(AP Photo/Jason Straziuso)

(AP) ? Evil laughter pealed out of the mobile phone. Abshir Ali Mohamed, an al-Shabab defector now wearing a Somali military uniform, had asked his former commander to join him. The commander, an al-Shabab judge known for ordering amputations, said he would instead kill Mohamed.

Somali military and government leaders say Mohamed's defection is an example of a trend growing in their favor, with the East African country's most notorious militant group losing manpower and ground. The 24-year-old former insurgent left al-Shabab less than two weeks ago and now wears a bright blue patch with a white star ? the Somali flag ? on the shoulder of his government uniform.

"Al-Shabab is no longer. It's going to end soon," Mohamed said last week at freshly dug Ugandan-Somali military base on the outskirts of Mogadishu. The base was set up after African Union troops kicked militants out of the towns of Elasha Biyaha and Afgoye.

"Al-Shabab is changing sides because of heavy losses. Those who still fight with them are running away in small groups. They've lost weapons. They've lost personnel," he continued. More are looking to flee, he said.

Somali government spokesman Abdirahman Omar Osman said Thursday that some 500 al-Shabab fighters have defected to the government side.

"The defections have been increasing day by day since our forces captured Afgoye town. That put huge pressure on them," Osman said.

The spokesman for the African Union military force said AU commanders are seeing more defections than ever.

"It's a sign al-Shabab is losing cohesion, losing command and control," Lt. Col. Paddy Ankunda said.

Col. Kayanja Muhanga is the Ugandan commander in charge of Battle Group 8, the fighting force that cleared al-Shabab out of Afgoye. He estimates his troops killed more than 60 insurgents during the three days of fighting last month, a battle that extended the African Union fighting force's reach outside of Mogadishu for the first time since their 2007 deployment to Mogadishu.

A commander in that battle, Burundian Lt. Col. Gregory Ndikumazambo, said al-Shabab fights courageously.

"They fight but they're badly organized," he said.

The strength of al-Shabab is not precisely known. Mohamed ? a four-year veteran of al-Shabab until this month's defection ? estimated that the insurgents have 7,000 to 8,000 fighters. Ankunda put the figure at 4,000 to 6,000. The African Union now has a U.N. mandate to field a force of about 17,000 troops across Somalia.

Many of al-Shabab's troops are reported to have fled into northern Somalia over the last year following their pullout from Mogadishu last August. Fighters are also flocking to Kismayo, the last major city al-Shabab controls. Ankunda said foreign fighters including American, British and Ugandans who fight with al-Shabab and its affiliated al-Qaida arm, have fled to Kismayo in recent days.

Kismayo's Indian Ocean port is al-Shabab's last major moneymaker. The militants levy taxes on incoming goods, much as they did at Mogadishu's largest market until losing control of it last year. The loss of Bakara market cost al-Shabab millions of dollars in annual revenue, Ankunda said, one reason they cannot afford to lose Kismayo.

Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga promised this week that Kenyan troops would take control of Kismayo by August.

"The information we have is that the Shabab will try to defend Kismayo. The information we have is indeed that they are preparing for a fight," Ankunda said.

Mohamed's former al-Shabab commander, Sheik Mustaf, called the defector last week just as Mohamed was speaking with a few reporters. He put the call on speakerphone as an interpreter translated the conversation.

Mustaf commands 200 to 300 men in southern Somalia, Mohamed said, and was known as a cruel and feared al-Shabab "judge." If a suspect was taken before Mustaf, the judgment was typically the amputation of an arm, Mohamed said.

"Why don't you return to Allah," Mustaf asked Mohamed during the phone call. Mohamed responded that one day he would welcome his former commander to the government side. Mustaf met that prediction with deep laughter, and told his former fighter he would kill him with his own hands the next time they met.

Standing with Mohamed was a second al-Shabab defector, Mohamed Abdi Abdullahi. The 45-year-old said he left al-Shabab two months ago in response to the militant group's decision to formally join al-Qaida.

Abdullahi, who has earned a living as a gunman most of his adult life, said he wants peace so that his five children can go to school and have access to health care.

"Everybody is tired of war," he said.

Somalia has not seen peace since 1991, when clan-based warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and then turned on each other. The rise of Islamist militants over the last decade fueled even more fighting.

Fragile X gene's prevalence suggests broader health risk

ScienceDaily (June 14, 2012) ? The first U.S. population prevalence study of mutations in the gene that causes fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited form of intellectual disability, suggests the mutation in the gene -- and its associated health risks -- may be more common than previously believed.

Writing this month (June 2012) in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, a team of Wisconsin researchers reports that the cascade of genetic amino acid repeats, which accumulate over generations and culminate in the mutation of a single gene causing fragile X, is occurring with more frequency among Americans than previously believed. The study also shows that as the genetic basis for the condition is passed from generation to generation and amplified, risks to neurological and reproductive health emerge in many carriers.

"The premutation of this condition is much more prevalent than we previously thought and there are some clinical risks associated with that," explains Marsha Mailick Seltzer, director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Waisman Center, who led the new study.

Fragile X is caused by the unexplained runaway expansion of a set of amino acid repeats in a single X chromosome gene known as FMR1. When fully mutated, the gene fails to express and produce a protein that's required for healthy brain development. The syndrome, which is more common in boys, results in a spectrum of intellectual disability.

However, before the gene fully mutates, carriers of the faulty gene exhibit a smaller number of elevated repeats, which expand as the gene is passed from generation to generation. Normal FMR1 genes exhibit anywhere from five to 40 repeats. Carriers with a premutation may have anywhere from 55 to 200. Those with between 45 and 54 repeats are characterized as falling into a "gray zone." Carriers of gray zone expansions often pass the mutation on to their children who themselves are at greater risk of having the premutation, and in subsequent generations the risk of a full mutation causing fragile X syndrome is high.

The goal of the new study was to calculate the prevalence in a U.S. population of the premutation and the gray zone. The research was based on data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), also known as the "Happy Days study," which for more than 50 years has tracked the careers, family life, health and education of more than 10,000 graduates of Wisconsin's high school class of 1957.

Using genetic samples from 6,747 WLS participants, the team led by Seltzer, an expert on developmental disability and family life, found that 1 in 151 females and 1 in 468 males carry the fragile X premutation while 1 in 35 females and 1 of every 42 males fall into the gray zone.

"The prevalence is high, the second highest reported in the world literature," says Seltzer, noting that the incidence of fragile X varies by population and is higher in some places such as Israel, and lower in others like Asia.

The expansion of the FMR1 gene is known to vary across ethnic groups. The sample in the WLS study is primarily white and of northern European descent.

People with the premutation are more likely to have a child with disability; to have neurological symptoms such as numbness, dizziness and faintness; and, for women, to experience early menopause. Although these symptoms have been recognized previously in clinical studies, the WLS data represent an unbiased sample and supports those observations.

"This study confirms that there are health risks associated with the premutation," says Seltzer. "People with the premutation have a higher probability of neurological and reproductive problems. There is a significant public health burden."

The new Wisconsin study was supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Co-authors include Mei Wang Baker of the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene; Jinkuk Hong, Matthew Maenner and Jan Greenberg, all of UW-Madison's Waisman Center; and Daniel Mandel of the Centers for Disease Control.

How the SEC could pursue a case against JPMorgan

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase's failure to timely disclose a major change in how it measured risk could become the centerpiece for an enforcement action by U.S. securities regulators as they probe the bank in connection with its multibillion dollar trading loss.

By omitting the change from its earnings release in April, the bank disguised a spike in the riskiness of a particular trading portfolio by cutting in half its value-at-risk number.

JPMorgan did not tell investors that the model for its Chief Investment Office had been changed until May 10, the same day it revealed the failed hedging strategy had produced a loss of at least $2 billion.

Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro said last month that her agency is probing the bank's financial reporting and made a vague reference to banks' obligation to publicly disclose changes to their risk model.

Experts say that regulators' strongest potential case is one focusing on whether JPMorgan should have disclosed the risk model change earlier.

But at the same time, they say it may be difficult to prove that the change in the risk model was material to shareholders' interests, which could limit the SEC's ability to use the JPMorgan investigation to appear tough on big banks playing fast and loose after the financial crisis.

"I would think this is a case that gets down to questions about just how aggressive the SEC wants to be," said Jim Cox, a professor at the Duke University School of Law.

JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon, 56, is expected to be questioned over the change in the risk model on Wednesday when he is called before the Senate Banking Committee to testify.

Dimon has not said exactly when or why the model was changed, nor has he said who knew about it. He has said that the portfolio not only took on too much risk, but "was badly monitored."

Typically, changes in value-at-risk models at banks are made by committees composed of managers who monitor risks and business heads who take them, according to risk management experts.

Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan, declined to comment.

MATERIALITY QUESTION

Banks in the United States are required to give investors periodic counts of their value-at-risk. The numbers are calculated and presented differently across companies, but in general are supposed to show a minimum amount that a portfolio could be expected to lose in each of a few days during a quarter.

What's most useful to investors is not so much the actual numbers, but how much they change, experts say.

JPMorgan first told investors on April 13 that the reading of risk at its CIO unit as of the end of March showed that the unit could lose at least $67 million in a single trading day, slightly less than the $69 million from the previous reading in December.

The report indicated steady risk management in the CIO's office, which was in contrast to press reports at the time that a London-based trader for JPMorgan was taking whale-sized positions.

But on May 10 when the bank suddenly disclosed the $2 billion-plus loss, it also revealed for the first time that the $67 million reading had been calculated with a new model. The prior model showed risk had actually spiked as the value-at-risk nearly doubled to $129 million.

Had the higher number been reported, said analyst Jason Goldberg of Barclays, "certainly, they would have been asked why the VaR doubled."

To bring a potential case against JPMorgan over its value-at-risk model change, the SEC will need to decide if the failure to disclose the model change was "material." In other words, would a reasonable investor see the information as significant?

Experts are divided on whether the understatement of risk by the bank will meet the SEC's legal test. It is unclear if investors would have seen the hike in risk-taking as something that could lead to a big trading loss.

"It may look bad and it may smell rotten, but it is not obvious that switch would have greatly misled the market or greatly influenced the stock price," said Lawrence Cunningham, a law professor at George Washington University. "That is a materiality question."

But some experts say that the threshold for materiality of risk-taking is lower in current market conditions.

Elizabeth Nowicki, a professor at Tulane University Law School, said the failure by the bank to timely tell investors about changes to its risk valuation methodologies is significant - especially because investors are still spooked by the financial crisis of 2008.

"When disclosure was a huge, huge issue leading to the debacle of 2008, it is important to the SEC to show no mercy on the issues of disclosure in the financial industry," said Nowicki.

JPMorgan and Dimon have a legal powerhouse to argue the understatement was not significant. The team includes two former SEC enforcement directors: Stephen Cutler, the bank's general counsel, and William McLucas, a partner at Wilmer Hale Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP who has been retained in connection with the trading loss.

INTERNAL CONTROLS?

Since the financial crisis, the SEC has faced a barrage of criticism for what some say is a failure to go after the top executives at the country's major banks.

Several legal experts say that the failure of JPMorgan to disclose changes to its value-at-risk modeling could actually present a prime opportunity to do just that.

The SEC could investigate whether the episode reveals failures by Dimon and Chief Financial Officer Doug Braunstein to adequately control the bank's internal financial reporting and disclosure procedures to investors.

Even if the SEC did not charge executives under internal control provisions, digging into the area could prove fruitful in other ways. It might turn up email chains that give insight into how the model was changed, and who at the company knew what.

It could also put pressure on the company and its executives to agree to settle and pay a fine.

"To make management sweat a little bit, the SEC's focus might well be on internal controls," said Charles Whitehead, a professor at Cornell Law School and former Wall Street executive.

'Bad' dieting increases cardiovascular disease risk

ScienceDaily (June 11, 2012) ? A 25 year study in Northern Sweden, published in BioMed Central's open access journal Nutrition Journal, is the first to show that a regional and national dietary intervention to reduce fat intake, decreased cholesterol levels, but a switch to the popular low carbohydrate diet was paralleled by in an increase in cholesterol levels. Over the entire 25 year period the population BMI continued to increase, regardless of either diet, and both the increase in body mass and increased cholesterol levels are indicators of increased cardiovascular risk.

In the 1970's it was noticed that the incidence of cardiovascular disease was higher in northern Sweden than anywhere else in the country and that for men it was amongst the highest in the world. The V?sterbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) was set up in 1985 to address this and was later extended to include the entire country. The VIP included better food labelling, healthy information, cooking demonstrations and health examinations and counselling, including diet advice, and still continues today.

Evaluation of this program was combined with data from the WHO MONICA project which monitors cardiovascular disease risk factors. Researchers from Ume? University, University of Gothenburg, and The National Board of Welfare collaborated to review this information covering a 25 year period from 1986.

The impact of the VIP was clearly seen in the changing intake of fat and carbohydrate. By 1992 the fat intake for men had reduced by 3% for men and 4% for women and remained stable until 2005. Not only did fat intake reduce due to VIP but the types of fat changed, for example from butter to low fat spreads, which was mirrored by a decrease in cholesterol levels. After 2005 the levels of total and saturated fat intake began to increase, returning to levels above those in 1986, and the amount of complex carbohydrates eaten decreased. The timing of this matched the promotion of low GI diets in the media. Consequently cholesterol levels began to once more increase despite the introduction of cholesterol lowering medication.

Prof Ingegerd Johansson, who led this research, commented, "The association between nutrition and health is complex. It involves specific food components, interactions among those food components, and interactions with genetic factors and individual needs. While low carbohydrate/high fat diets may help short term weight loss, these results of this Swedish study demonstrate that long term weight loss is not maintained and that this diet increases blood cholesterol which has a major impact on risk of cardiovascular disease."

Spotting ultrafine loops in the sun's corona

ScienceDaily (June 12, 2012) ? A key to understanding the dynamics of the sun and what causes the great solar explosions there relies on deciphering how material, heat and energy swirl across the sun's surface and rise into the upper atmosphere, or corona. Tracking the constantly moving material requires state-of-the-art telescopes with the highest resolution possible. By combining images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and a new generation telescope called the New Solar Telescope (NST) at Big Bear Solar Observatory in Big Bear City, Calif. scientists have for the first time observed a new facet of the system: especially narrow loops of solar material scattered on the sun's surface, which are connected to higher lying, wider loops.

These ultrafine loops, and their wider cousins may also help with the quest to determine how temperatures rise throughout the corona.

"We're used to seeing magnetic loops on the sun," says Philip Goode of the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, NJ, who was a co-author on a paper on these results in the Astrophysical Journal on May 1, 2012. "But we've never seen ones lying so low, that were so cold, or that were so narrow. These loops are 10 times narrower and at least 10 times cooler than the higher loops often seen by SDO."

Goode and his colleagues, Wenda Cao and Haisheng Ji used the two telescopes to observe these loops in data from July 22, 2011. The combination of NST and SDO allowed the researchers to trace the flow of energy from the cooler ultrafine loops observed with NST to cospatial and cotemporal brightenings seen by SDO in the overlying million degree corona. In the NST observations, the loops show a nearly consistent width of what Goode says is a "surprisingly narrow diameter" of only about 60 miles across.

The team aligned images from the NST, which can measure magnetic fields to high resolution, with the SDO images to find the magnetic footprint of these loops on the sun. The magnetic maps showed that the loops lined up with fine lanes on the sun that separate what's known as granules -- cells on the star's surface that can be loosely understood as bubbles of boiling solar material that rise up from below. After the material, or plasma, rises up into the granules, it sweeps out to the sides, and flows back down these intergranular lanes. The lanes are consequently believed to contain concentrated magnetic fields, the perfect place for the origin of these newly spotted magnetic loops. The very position and shape of the ultrafine loops, therefore, help confirm models of the sun's surface.

Goode and his colleagues did more than just categorize the size and shape of the loops, however. They also tracked the loops through time as they rose up into the sun's corona, a process that may help solve a persistent question in solar physics, namely why the sun's atmosphere, or corona is so hot.

Scientists in the early 1940s discovered that the sun's atmosphere is some thousand times hotter than its surface. Determining just what processes heat those gases up to millions of degrees has been a key research area ever since.

"There have been many suggestions over the years as to what mechanism can make the atmosphere a thousand times hotter than the surface of the sun," says Goode. "They basically come in two categories. The first is that there's some kind of continuous magnetic energy adding heat. The second is that there's an impulsive, intermittent movement that adds heat. And there are, of course, all kinds of variations and mixtures of each theme."

In this case, the appearance of the ultrafine loops seems to be correlated to intense magnetic field collisions. The largest groups of loops also corresponded to solar phenomena called Type II spicules, which some theories postulate contribute to coronal heating.

"We observe an impulsive event at the sun's surface, and this excites low-lying and higher-lying, wider loops almost simultaneously," says Goode. "It's just a correlation at this point, but for the first time we've observed something happen at the surface and we can track it up through heating of the corona. This doesn't answer the question of whether it's the only mechanism that heats the corona, but it certainly seems to be at least one mechanism."

In addition to the value of having seen such fine structures for the first time, Goode and his colleagues believe this is a great example of how the NST can coordinate with other instruments, such as an upcoming NASA Explorer called the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph or IRIS, due to launch no earlier than December 2012. IRIS will focus exclusively on the area of the sun's atmosphere at the base of the corona, an area crucial for coronal heating. The NST's capabilities will mesh nicely with this since it can measure magnetic fields in the same regions IRIS will be observing.
