Maytag Chief Defends U S Plant Presence Amid Cuts
Chief executive Ralph Hake says no more plant closures planned as Maytag trims about 8 percent of its workforce. The firm shifts some Galesburg production to Mexico and plans redesigned Amana refrigerators at Amana. Earnings for the quarter fell to 25.2 million from 68 million, with 18.8 million in after tax charges from Galesburg’s closure.

Meteorite myths and rare finds spark skywatcher debates
Researchers discuss meteorites and the rarity of recoveries after a July sighting. A man finds a granite sample of terrestrial origin after believing a meteorite struck his car. Experts note meteorites are rarer than diamonds, with values up to 50 dollars per gram for rare specimens and explain historic impacts like the Manson event near Iowa.

Meteorite facts and common identification clues
Meteorites arrive unpredictably and are rarely seen striking roofs or yards. Most specimens are found by chance and identified later as meteorites. They are often 2 inches to 2 feet across, unusually heavy, with iron types heavier than stony varieties, and magnetically attracted, sometimes confused with slag or iron ore.
