ARROYO - declares Sept. 7 and 21 as non-working holidays
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on Friday declared September 7 and 21 as non-working holidays.
Malacañang said September 7 will be observed as a “national day of mourning" in honor of Iglesia ni Cristo’s executive minister Eraño Manalo, who passed away last Monday due to cardiopulmonary arrest.
Mrs. Arroyo said flags in government offices will be flown at half-mast for the spiritual leader’s burial.
The declaration of September 21 is in observance of the Muslim holiday of EID AL-FITR, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.

OMB Chief Resigns
Edu Manzano has resigned as chairman of the Optical Media Board (OMB) (jonjonVicencio/photo), speculation that he is planning to seek an elective post in 2010. Goodluck!
Manzano is the second government official to resign this month but Malacanang had yet to confirm said resignation.
What happened to the issue where the Presidential Anti-Smuggling Group (PASG) allegedly did not turn over video replicating machines worth millions of pesos. These were seized during a joint operation conducted by PASG and OMB in Quezon City last April 2009. But PASG official denied the allegations.
So much for the dispute.... can be easily whitewashed now that Manzano had stepped down.

Rubik's returns with a new time-wasting challenge
If you have long-since beaten the Rubik’s Cube, now there’s another challenge for you. Rubik’s has released the Rubik’s 360, a spherical puzzle game containing six colored balls that you have to move from an inside sphere through another and finally out to matching-color domes on the outside sphere. The two inside spheres contain holes to allow the balls to pass between spheres. These two spheres are weighted opposite the holes, so the difficulty is increased and only eased by the ability to lock two of the three spheres together at a time. Great — another way to waste time! (info by: Wally Bahny)
I have rubik cube classics like 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5. But I seldom play with them, collection I guess. How about you guys out there, do you have other rubik cubes? Give your best time?
