Rare Material Commodity Slump
By ANGELA SMITH - Thursday, November 6, 2251
Rare Material commodity prices are at their lowest price in a few months at 5773 CR/MT as of today, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a downturn in the global economy after years of sluggish growth and scant inflation. Now, as signs of inflation and improving global demand have returned, investors are beginning to shy away from commodities. A sustained slump in commodities would likely signal unhealthy consumer and business demand.

Foodstuffs commodity prices are at their lowest price in a couple of months at 823 CR/MT as of today, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a downturn in the global economy after years of sluggish growth and scant inflation.

An E-11 Saint, operated by Junk Ore Inc, crashed into the Deois Financial District, near the intersection of FALMOUTH ST and DORANTES AVE Monday at 23:42Z. The pilot, the only occupant listed aboard, was killed. People nearby reported the incident, but their accounts give no clear picture of the aircraft's final approach. Investigators will look to the aircraft's "black box" for clues to its final flight path. Locating and recovering the flight data recorder will be an early priority; no recent ATC track is available for this preliminary account.

Unemployment Rampant
By JAMES THILL - Thursday, November 6, 2251
The USR authorities report on today that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in a few months. That is a reported 1.27% of Deois inhabitants not officially employed. Who are these people? Where are they hiding? How do they survive? Of course, many will be the wives and families of hard-working colonists. And some will be casual laborers looking for work. But maybe there is a dark underbelly to our world? What are the implications for crime and of course for personal protection? We will follow this story.
E-11 Lost in Terrain Collision
By ANGELA SMITH - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
An E-11 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into an empty field in the Liena region yesterday at 21:59Z. All 8 people listed aboard were killed. Local weather observations recorded IFR conditions, a cloud ceiling of 601 meters above the ground, surface winds of 10 m/s. Whether those conditions contributed remains undetermined. Ground witnesses have not been established for this location. With no recent ATC track available for the initial report, locating and recovering the aircraft's "black box" will be a priority for investigators. Recorder findings are not yet available.
Vieneo's Northern Solstice
By MARY STULL - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
The northern solstice on Vieneo occurred yesterday. A solstice is an event occurring when the sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere, which occurs twice each year.
The day of a northern solstice has the most sunlight of the year in the northern hemisphere and the least sunlight of the year for the southern hemisphere.
The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"), because at the solstices, the sun's declination appears to "stand still"; that is, the seasonal movement of the sun's daily path (as seen from Vieneo) stops at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.
