</address> <pre> </pre> <p> Dear RHESSI Collaborators,
<p>The delta configuration in the southern portions of NOAA 10930 has continued to grow over the past 24-hours, and now shows strong magnetic gradients across its neutral line. The region produced an impulsive X3.4 flare starting at 02:14 UT today, which was associated with a rapid increase in &gt;10MeV protons seen by GOES 11. The beta-gamma-delta region is expected to continue to produce intermediate-level activity, with a good chance for another X. 
<p>The position of NOAA 10930 on 13-Dec-2006 10:00 UT is:
<p>S06W27, ( 441&quot;, -92&quot; )
