Rare Material Commodity Slump
By JAMES THILL - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
Rare Material commodity prices are at their lowest price in a few months at 5779 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.

Vieneo's Northern Solstice
By MARY STULL - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
The northern solstice on Vieneo occurred today. 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 JAMES THILL - Wednesday, November 5, 2251
The USR authorities report on today that Deois unemployment has risen to the highest level in a few months. That is a reported 1.24% 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.
Ground Observations Could Help Explain Crash
By ANGELA SMITH - Sunday, November 2, 2251
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.
Refined Fuel Commodity Boom
By ANGELA SMITH - Saturday, November 1, 2251
Refined Fuel commodity prices are enjoying their best run in almost ten years at 227 CR/MT as of Sunday, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a pickup 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 pile back into commodities. A sustained rally in commodities would likely signal healthy consumer and business demand.
