The time you have left to fill in an NCAA March Madness bracket is quickly coming to a close, it’s Wednesday evening. It’s time to put your “knowledge” to the test, you find yourself wishing you had gotten to watch more games this year especily if you’re like most everyone else in the country, chances are that you’ve wasted an entire basketball season but all hope is not lost.

Although all of us know that person who doesn’t really follow college basketball, but will most likely win a bracket somehow, and then be obnoxious about it all year long, even though they probably don’t know the difference between a block and a charge. Let’s call that person, “Andrew McCormick,” for fun. Some people might prefer more traditional methods of choosing brackets, like picking based on “which team might win” or some other nonsense

1. Pick all the top seeds.

pick all the best seeds, every time, and then you’re left with a Final Four of Kentucky, Wisconsin, Villanova, and Duke

2. Pick all the top seeds, then flip a coin.

pick each of the top seeds during this first weekend, so that the Sweet 16 round is left with all the 1-4 seeds from each region

3. Find a child. Any child will do.

Go walk the streets and grab the first child you see and force him or her to fill out your bracket for you.

4. The egg drop.

what you’re going to need to do is dye one egg for each team in that team’s respective colors.

Mar 18, 2015

A rare chance to see the northern lights as far south as the Midlands, if the clouds are kind because a massive solar storm is underway.

There will be a stellar geomagnetic storm that would cause a natural fireworks show across much of the UK. The storm was raging across the northern hemisphere. The Met Office said

According to the NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the storm might be at just one category below the highest possible strength rating a G4.

A pair of coronal mass ejections – expulsions of vast amounts of matter from the sun is the reason of the storm which occurred in quick succession. Ionized particles interact with the magnetic field around Earth’s poles and now causing huge auroras in the northern and southern hemispheres, as the first CME ‘cleared the path’ for the second.

The elusive phenomena of nature was sighted as close as Nebraska, the prospect sure was exciting while on Tuesday night there was a widespread episode of the northern lights didn’t materialize in the skies over Colorado.

Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin are the place in the United States to see the Aurora Borealis with the naked eye on Tuesday night and But there were reports of sightings as far south as Delaware County, Ohio.
