By ANGELA SMITH - Friday, November 7, 2251
The Governor's office announced today that the total colony count has fallen to 313, the lowest level in a few months. The Yonmaran development board is pointing fingers at the alliances blaming them for not maintaining the existing colonies and endangering the workforce.

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 yesterday, 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.
Vieneo's Northern Solstice
By MARY STULL - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
The northern solstice on Vieneo occurred Thursday. 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.

Unemployment Rampant
By ANGELA SMITH - Friday, November 7, 2251
The USR authorities report on today that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in a few months. That is a reported 1.31% 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.
Weather Conditions Draw Attention After Crash
By JAMES THILL - Thursday, November 6, 2251
An E-11 Saint, operated by Mineral Mountain Madness Co., crashed into the Deois Industrial District, near BROWN ST yesterday at 19:30Z. The pilot was the sole occupant and was killed. The last available ATC track point, about 3 seconds before the incident, placed the aircraft at 375 meters above sea level, with a groundspeed of 60 m/s. Groundspeed increased by 53 m/s over 20 seconds. Local weather observations recorded IFR conditions, a cloud ceiling of 565 meters above the ground, surface winds of 7 m/s. The role of those conditions will require further investigation. The preliminary account leaves the cause open pending examination of the wreckage and any recovered recorders.
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 Thursday 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.
Foodstuffs Commodity Slump
By JAMES THILL - Thursday, November 6, 2251
Foodstuffs commodity prices are at their lowest price in a couple of months at 823 CR/MT as of yesterday, 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.
