Today show

This morning was Meredith Vieira of the Today Show to last, and predictably was a retrospective clip reels and a lot of tears moments. But one thing that I thought the show was one of the cheesiest not control the entire segment of the program: a massive lip dub of Journey's "Do not Stop Believing. (I do not know what lip dub? Here is a good example. ) Vieira did not know what happened to his colleagues led to star in the studio today, along the producers, security, cameramen, reporters and all wearing matching "[heart] Meredith T-shirt, finally ending in the area of Rockefeller Center, where everyone is up to the final chorus. It was silly and sweet, and it is left sobbing Vieira.

But more than his luscious, but served as a powerful reminder that what you send to the show today. Now, place that rises Meredith Ann Curry Katie Couric, and will contribute more than the Good Morning America, ABC News to the people to check out this summer, as the moment to surge. They have a good line-up with George Stephanopoulos, Robin Roberts, Josh Elliot, and Sam Champion (and now perhaps Couric), and is now starting to move.

But look at all the beloved characters from NBC - Lester Holt, Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, Amy Robach, Al Roker and Natalie Morales, Willie Geist, Jenna Bush Hager, Savannah Guthrie, Jimmy Fallon, and others - running around, lol make, and really love each other and sent a signal that they are still the alpha dog. (It is also a reminder that the contracting authority to use real pop music during the segment, while the other morning shows do not). NBC's strange to develop sympathetic, relatable talent, and that a coherent, unified brand. This morning, made ​​sure that viewers were reminded of that rival, and the conversation was: Yeah, Meredith's mother left, the producers seemed to say, but the rest of the family is nothing to mess with.

Gabrielle Union

Today we know that when it comes to issues of a Rihanna video that has people talking. But I had no idea of the pop star's latest video for her a "Man Down" would be the answer to that is not the Bad Boys 2 star Gabrielle Union. The clip, as he might have heard, there's a scene where the girl's revenge on Rihanna filming her rapist on a busy street. What you might not heard that the Union itself in similar circumstances. Although the actress spoke about the rape when she was 19 years, he has not been opened recently.

After a fan asked what he thought of the video, the response of the Union tweeted, "Saw " Man Down "@ the Rihanna. Each victim / survivor of rape is unique, including how they think they want justice to 2 broadcast. "And then he added a startling detail:" In my work .. I tried to shoot two rape to the rapist, bt I missed in recent years I realized tht murder of the rapist would have added insult to 2 damage two of the desire to abuse anyone who has made ​​fatal and raped you understand, bt, except in self-defense if one has to store 2 ur life, ur just gives two evils. "

"Stranger, who robbed the store I worked," he said, identifying her rapist. "He put the gun DWN Durin the rape and asked me 2 [hand], that 2 him." The actress, who is a representative from rape crisis centers, has been praised in the video: "Mandown video did a great job of getting the whole world CONVERSATION ABT rape," he tweeted. "I hope the 2 WAY Healing and Rape leads."

solar flare

The day is a nice sound impressive yesterday 1:41 ET solar access to the greatest period of two years and our own Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) took a bunch of great snap. View the Sun spit a medium and a small flashlight radiation storm, culminating in a dazzling crown of mass ejection, or CME (the awesome barrage a shot below) issued by a complex of sunspots.

This is a surprising picture of the Sun's own CGI may pass before the summer disaster film. You know, just before the backyard star has reached the void in the fingers of fire and swallows us. But do not worry, we will only strike a blow to the eye, "says NASA. NASA, a huge cloud of relatively cool particles" mushroom ", then fell back to an area roughly equal to half the surface area of the sun.

Fortunately, the CME, moving with a speed of about 870 miles per second to more than 3.1 million miles per hour is not led directly to us, but it's close enough to the aurora high latitudes, which causes less disruption of the satellites . NASA says it must be created in the early evening on June 8 (Tonight, around 6:00) and June 9 (For the record, now has about 93 million miles from the sun). The U.S. National Weather Service (NWS), then the statement, noting it was a solar flare, radiation appeared not seen since 2006.
