ACTIVE SUNSPOT:
New sunspot 1272 on the sun's southeastern limb is crackling with C-class solar flares.

So far none of the blasts has been Earth-directed, although this could change in the days ahead as the active region turns to face our planet.

Solar Flare Activity Prompting NASA to Convene a News Briefing Thursday in Washington
http://www.myweathertech.com/2011/08/17 ... ashington/
Increasing solar activity and the threat that coronal mass ejections (CME) pose to Earth has prompted NASA to convene a news briefing at its Headquarter building in Washington on Thursday afternoon.
Thursday’s briefing has been arranged, space agency officials say, in light of new information coming from NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO), spacecraft and other NASA probes. The briefing will feature new details about the structure of solar storms and the impact they have on Earth.
The briefing panellists are Madhulika Guhathakurta, STEREO program scientist; Craig DeForest, staff scientist, Southwest Research Institute, David Webb, research physicist, Institute for Scientific Research, Boston College; and Alysha Reinard, research scientist, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of Colorado.
The briefing will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website at 2:00 PM EDT (7:00 PM GMT).

A massive solar flare, the largest recorded in four years, occurred last Tuesday prompting fears the blast could result in some disruption to Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) or communication signals around the world.

NASA | Spacecraft Track Solar Storms From Sun To Earth

NASA's STEREO spacecraft and new data processing techniques have succeeded in tracking space weather events from their origin in the Sun's ultrahot corona to impact with the Earth 96 million miles away, resolving a 40-year mystery about the structure of the structures that cause space weather: how the structures that impact the Earth relate to the corresponding structures in the solar corona.

Re: New Solar Activity Possible from Sunspots 11271 & 11272
So are the area from DR,PR and VI still at risk for an earthquake from this new solar activity?

IMHO yes.
Especially in the next few weeks with the approach and passage of 97L.
