This research was supported by NASA grants NNG06GG79G, NNG06GC89G, and NM07AA01C (Hinode/SOT); NSF grant ATM-0541567; and the Research Council of Norway through grant 170935/V30 and through grants of computing time from the Programme for Supercomputing. B.D.P. thanks the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics/Oslo group and S.W.M. for excellent hospitality. We thank the Hinode/SOT team for building an excellent instrument. Hinode is a Japanese mission developed and launched by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science/Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (ISAS/JAXA), with the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) as domestic partner and NASA and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (UK) as international partners. It is operated by these agencies in cooperation with the European Space Agency and Norwegian Space Centre (Norway). The SOT was developed jointly by NAOJ, the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory, ISAS/JAXA, NASA, the High Altitude Observatory, and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.
