Now this is no longer fiction: for his two sequels to “The Matrix,” director JoelSilver mixes real actors in the same scenes with computer-generated images and you can’t tell the difference.

Anne is not as alert as she has been, but her doctors arehoping that, once her fever has broken, she will become morealert. She has had a temperature of between 99 and 102 forfifteen days, and this, plus the difficulty of deep sleep inthe ICU, has, they believe, made her consciousness declinetemporarily.

A large and moderately complex sunspot group, NOAA Region696, wasresponsible for a series of eruptions on the surface of theSun knownas solar flares, including a significant eruption on 7November 2004 at9:06 a.m. MST. A radiation storm, currently at the moderate(S2)level, began soon after the eruption was observed on theSun. Solarflare activity over the past few days has resulted in aseries ofEarth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that haveimpacted Earth’sgeomagnetic field with severe (G4) geomagnetic storming. Today’s largeeruption on the Sun may produce further periods of stronggeomagneticstorming on 9-10 November.
