Stuff below the fold

The "We're all gonna die" headline of the day:
Solar Megastorm Could Cripple Satellites for a Decade
Satellites not strong enough to withstand sun's explosions, model shows.

but don't worry: If Tambora blows we may starve to death first

----------------------------------
every day more corruption found:

The problem is not just displacing 3000 families to make room for an economic zone, it's that the original site was moved to benefit a bigshot.

and 1BPeso agrifund was milked to bigshots, not poor farmers.

--------------------------
This is worrisome: A second shooting/murder at the SMCityMall in Pampanga...the worry? The security guards check folks for weapons and bombs at the door, and missed the guns.

Probably because the shooters were a woman and a 13 year old boy...and one of the victims was the security guard who tried to stop the woman from shooting herself. Sigh.

Mark your calender: It's Octoberfest.
