Recent solar flare may disrupt your GPS
http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/08/05/solar.flare.gps/in...
On Thursday, the sun unleashed a massive solar flare (see video of the flare and how its effects have been moving toward Earth). Solar flares can disrupt radio communications, including devices that use Global Positioning System technology, such as cell phones, airplanes and car navigation systems.

But there it was yesterday, on the front page no less.

August long weekend gas price increase
Gas went up 9 cents a liter here in 8 hours in 'celebration' (kak!) of the August 1st holiday. It's 1.339 per liter from 1.249.
How do these people get away with this year after year? I can only say GOOD as it keeps the Alberta tourists away!
