 SOHO Sees Right Through
With a technique that uses ripples on the Sun's visible surface to probe its interior, SOHO scientists have, for the first time, imaged solar storm regions on the far side of the Sun, the side facing away from the Earth.
An active region on the side of the Sun facing away from the Earth (the far side) causes sound waves, represented by blue arcs, that travel through the interior, bounce once off the surface, and reach the side facing the Earth (the near side).
MDI data for March 28-29, 1998, revealed on the far side a sunspot group that was not plainly visible on the near side until 10 days later.

 Scotsman.com News - Features - Dark side of sun becoming a burning issue
Commenting on the fact that more men than women die from the disease, he refers to the recent heatwave saying: "If you look around half the streets of Edinburgh, you see young boys with their shirts off in the sunshine.
He also warns that while women generally get melanomas on their legs, men are more likely to get melanomas on their backs, which are harder to see - another reason why more men are increasingly dying from skin cancer.
Aside from avoiding burning in the first place by staying out of the midday sun and exposing themselves to the sun gradually, his advice to men, and women, is to ask a partner to help them keep an eye on moles to check for any changes which could indicate melanoma.

 Dark Side of the Sun   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
A volume of poetry entitled "But Today I Confess." A prequel novel to Dark Side of the Sun is in early development; the historical novel about the Roman Empire has been shelved for the time being.
After choosing "Dark Side of the Sun," I discovered that the same title had been used for a direct-to-video movie starring Brad Pitt (I've never seen it) and for a novel by Terry Pratchett.
The plan at this stage is for "Dark Side of the Sun" to become a series title, so to speak.

 - Sunscreen Press Release 29 September 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
New research, undertaken by scientists at RAFT (see Note 1), shows that even when sunscreen creams are applied in the correct dosage, the sun’s UVA light penetrates through to the skin and causes the release of free radicals (see Note 2) – which probably causes the skin cancer Melanoma and premature ageing of the skin.
Since the use of sunscreen creams encourage people to stay longer in the sun and the protection afforded by these creams against UVB far outweighs that against UVA – the use of sunscreen creams may therefore indirectly increase the risk of developing the skin malignancy Melanoma rather than protect against it.
Some filters against UVA rays are being introduced into sun protection creams; however, these seem inadequate against Melanoma and skin ageing – particularly when the UVB filters encourage users to stay longer in the sun.

His first, 1976's The Darks Side of the Sun, deals with the oft-tackled idea of a creator race, one (here called the Jokers) which shaped the universe and its inhabitants but have since disappeared.
The novel serves as a travelogue through Pratchett's future universe, and with its cast of well-developed aliens and locations this is a rich journey.
However, much more could have been made with the universe and the ideas Pratchett developed in Dark Side, and it's to be hoped that he will return to the realm of sci-fi some day.

 The Dark Side of Rev. Sun Myung Moon Part 7, Moon's Billions & Washington's Blind Eye (Dec. 22, 1997)
Over the past quarter century, Rev. Sun Myung Moon is someone who has practiced the limits of this "theory of perceived respectability." He has spent billions of dollars in the United States to gain a political standing that would seem unthinkable without counting the money.
In Korea during his early years as a "messiah," Moon lustily took on the job of "blessing the wombs" of Korean women supposedly corrupted by Satan's seduction of Eve eons ago.
Expanding his unsavory connections in 1980, Moon's operatives rushed to congratulate right-wing military thugs who seized power along with drug lords in Bolivia, an event that became known as the Cocaine Coup and gave rise to the modern cocaine cartels.
