Well, after having time to think about it and away from the high-pressure sales droid, I decided that NASE didn't have very good insurance. The premiums might be lower, but that doesn't help if they

I think I've actually finished one of my project papers more than a week early! I'm really happy with how this paper turned out. I analyzed solar irradiance data and compared it with surface reading
