Far North Pole shaken by moderate quake
The peculiar nature of the location of this quake leads us to conclude that since the magnetic north pole is now racing towards Russia and the Earth has been under constant bombardment from the rabid sheer of the solar winds over the last 48 hours
BIG SUNSPOTS: Sunspots 1164 and 1166 are so large, people are noticing them at sunrise and sunset when the sun is dimmed by clouds and haze
AURORA WATCH: A coronal mass ejection (CME) is en route to Earth, due to arrive on March 6th. The CME is slow-moving and not especially massive.
Bernard J. Eastlund's U.S. Patent # 4,686,605, "Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere; and/or Magnetosphere," was sealed for a year under a government Secrecy Order.

How long can our force field take it??
Fact huh!
In fact, the magnetosphere will take whatever the sun throws at it
The magnetosphere is sustained by the fluid dynamics at the core of the Earth, which the sun has no significant affect on.

Come on man, do you really belive the magnetosphere, Earth or the solar system for that matter can take whatever the sun can dish out?? She's a big bag Mama.
Once I read this, I knew you needed to learn more. No offense I'm learning every day.
The magnetosphere is sustained by the fluid dynamics at the core of the Earth, which the sun has no significant affect on.
We knew by the 1890s, from the Earth's response to the gravity of the Sun and Moon, that the planet has a dense core, probably iron. In 1906 Richard Dixon Oldham found that earthquake waves move through the Earth's center much slower than through the mantle around it—because the center is liquid.

PRESTO FROM SIDC - RWC BELGIUM Sat Mar 5 2011, 1230 UT
Solar activity is expected to be moderate but still with risks of C-class flares primarily from NOAA AR 1164 and 1166. An EUV wave occurred in the vicinity of AR 1164 on March 4th around 1700 UT.
Geomagnetic is expected to be predominantly quiet for the next 24 hours, with a slight risk of unsettled to isolated active levels by the end of March 6th, due to the possible arrival of the CME of March 3rd.
We just had a satellite interruption (Dish Network) announcement on our TV. It stated that due to the Sun
EQUINOX SUN OUTAGES: Many readers reported an intermittant loss of satellite TV reception over the weekend. Was the sun to blame? Yes and no. It is likely that the sun caused the problem, but not because of solar flares. Now is the time of year for the "equinox conjunction," when the sun lines up with the satellite and the receiving satellite dish. When this happens, radio interference from the sun competes with signals from the satellite and can create noise levels several decibels higher than normal. The problem, which typically persists for 5 to 15 minutes, is referred to as a "sun outage" and is often confused with sunspot or solar flare activity.
The following images and animations show views of a snapshot from a 3D time dependent computer simulation of convection and magnetic field generation in the Earth's liquid core that spans over 80,000 years.
Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motion in the liquid iron core.
Details of how this occurs are now emerging from numerical simulations
that achieve a self-sustaining magnetic field. Early results predict a dominant
dipole Þeld outside the core, and some models even reproduce
magnetic reversals. The simulations also show how different patterns of
flow can produce similar external fields. Efforts to distinguish between the
various possibilities appeal to observations of the time-dependent behavior
of the field. Important constraints will come from geological records of
the magnetic field in the past.
An analysis is made of the 20 and 70 year variations of the geomagnetic field, the length of day, and corresponding variations of Wolf numbers. The analysis suggests that these terrestrial variations are due to the effect of the sun on the liquid part of the earth's core.
