- Download the official recovery images for Microsoft Surface - One
of the handier features of Windows 8/8.1/RT has been the ability to
refresh the installation or wipe the installation clean without having
to rummage around for installation media. This has been the case with
respect to Microsoft's range of Surface tablets given that the recovery
image is stored on the device itself which has made recovery a fairly
straightforward process. However, things may not always go according to
plan. The recovery image on your Surface could become corrupted or
perhaps you've deleted the recovery image from your device to free up
additional space. Thankfully, you
can now download the official recovery images for any Microsoft
Surface from the original Surface RT all the way through to Surface Pro
3 at the Microsoft site. Make sure you login with your Microsoft
account that you use to login on your Surface as that will help the
page recommend the appropriate image to download in the first step.
Then, it's just a matter of downloading the selected image, creating
the recovery drive and using it to refresh or reset your Surface. You
don't have to have a working Surface to create a recovery drive using
this method as it can be run on a regular Windows PC. This might be
useful if Windows won't boot at all on your Surface and recovery drive
cannot be found

- NASA - Holiday Lights On the Sun - The sun emitted a
significant solar flare, peaking at 7:24 p.m. EST on Dec. 19, 2014.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly,
captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of
radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's
atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when
intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where
GPS and communications signals travel.
