 GOES Satellites: geostationary operational environmental satellites
GOES satellites are owned and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) while the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) manages the design, development and launch of the spacecraft.
The GOES data, which is vital to weather monitoring and short-term forecasting, is then distributed by the National Environmental Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS) to a variety of operational and research centers.
Today, GOES data products are used by a wide variety of users; the National Weather Service, commercial weather services, universities, the Department of Defense, and the global research community.

 SPACE.com -- New Hurricane Eye GOES Into Orbit
Right now GOES 10, which was launched three years ago, is parked over the equator with a great view of the Western United States, the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii.
A third satellite, GOES 9, is also in orbit but is considered so unreliable that managers did not want to risk not having two good spacecraft in orbit during the particularly threatening hurricane season which runs from June 1 to November 30.
GOES managers originally had planned to launch this spacecraft in 1999, but technical problems with the type of rocket engines used on the Atlas 2 and other boosters prompted NASA and NOAA officials to delay the launch until they could be sure the engines were fixed.

 NWS Southern Region GOES Satellite FAQs
Since GOES is in a geosynchronous orbit, the sun will yearly traverse a +/- 23.5 degree angle perpendicular to the Earth's equator (GOES orbit plane).
The GOES imager and sounder instruments have temperature constraints that prevent them from scanning an area too close to the sun.
If the GOES imager or sounder is allowed to scan an area near the sun, they could potentially overheat and become permanently damaged.

 Death Takes a Quaalude - Moonlight Mile is the worst film of the year; Igby Goes Down is the best. By David Edelstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The tone goes kerflooey in the first sequence, in which Jake Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, and Susan Sarandon prepare for a funeral amid ringing phones, which Hoffman dutifully answers—accepting condolences, relaying the time of the service—while Sarandon quietly fumes at her husband's amiability.
Over time, we learn that the rites are for their only daughter, that Gyllenhaal was her fiance, and that she was murdered in a local diner by a crazy man bent on exacting vengeance on his own wife.
Before we've even gotten our bearings, Silberling goes for little laughs at the parents' expense; and during the service, the dead girl's best friend rubs the fiance's shoulders in a way that's unnervingly intimate.

They are never allowed to do anything that is natural to them—they are never able to feel the grass beneath their feet, the sun on their faces, or fresh air.
They endure mutilation—chicks have their beaks burned off, cows and pigs are castrated without anesthesia, cows are dehorned and branded, and the list goes on—all without any painkillers.
Factory farmers restrict animals’ movement, not only to save space, but also so that all their energy goes toward producing flesh, eggs, or milk for human consumption.
