on Friday, the first<br />
day of publically trading<br />
shares of the social network<br />
Facebook, that the<br />
IPO of the offering fell<br />
flat, at first jumping to<br />
above ten percent but<br />
then falling to an initial<br />
dismal stock offering and<br />
leveling out at $38.23 per<br />

as underwriters<br />
stepped in to support its<br />
price.<br />
Private rocket company<br />
“Space X” aborted a<br />
NATIONWIDE<br />
launch of its Falcon 9<br />
rocket from Cape<br />

The U.S. environmental<br />
Protection Agency said on<br />
Friday that rivers and<br />
streams in the world’s premier<br />
wild salmon fishery<br />
would be greatly degraded<br />
for decades if it allows a<br />
vast gold and copper mine<br />
to be built in Alaska and<br />
then see a failure in a dam<br />
holding back the mine’s<br />
waste. The proposed Pebble<br />
Mine would impact<br />
the Bristol Bay watershed<br />
in southwestern Alaska,<br />
which supports the<br />
world’s largest sockeye<br />
salmon fishery and is<br />
home to 25 tribes of Native<br />
Americans, who have<br />
maintained a salmonbased<br />
culture for 4,000<br />
years.<br />

In an area the size of<br />
Florida, where the world’s<br />
single largest deposit of<br />
petroleum is located, a<br />
simple pipeline is all that<br />
keeps the United States<br />
from attaining energy independent,<br />
according to<br />
the Canadian Association<br />
of Petroleum Producers<br />
on Friday. As much as 170<br />
billion recoverable barrels<br />
of oil lie only 500 miles<br />
away in Alberta, where future<br />
advances in technology<br />
could push the figure<br />
to as high as 300 billion<br />
barrels, much more massive<br />
than oil gods Saudi<br />
Arabia and Venezuela.<br />
And look! Out in the<br />
Atlantic Ocean, off the<br />

with sustained winds of 45<br />
miles per hour and toward<br />
the mainland. A turn to<br />
the northeast was expected<br />
on Monday or<br />
Tuesday.<br />
