Imagine...100 miles per gallon. That story tonight on The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric

 

Advertisement size=1 width="100%" noshade color="#cccccc" align=center> (CBS) QUOTE OF THE DAY ”It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe -- though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived.” -Susan Sontag DID YOU KNOW? Potato chips are American’s favorite snack food. They are devoured at a rate of 1.2 billion pounds a year. TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast Good afternoon everyone. This is Harry Smith filling in for Katie. President-elect Barack Obama introduced members of his economic team today, 57 days before he’s set to be sworn in as president. Mr. Obama hopes to hit the ground running, and today renewed his call for a new stimulus package. Dean Reynolds has the story from Chicago. In other big economic news: Kelly Wallace reports on the latest government effort to bail out Citigroup, which includes a $20 billion direct investment and a pledge to guarantee up to $306 billion of its risky loans. And, I’ll an interview former SEC chair Arthur Levitt, the man who served in that post longer than any other chairman, to get his take on the state of our economy. These days, fuel prices are down, and so are basic commodities, like corn and wheat. So, why are prices at the grocery store only climbing higher? Cynthia Bowers examines why. Next: It's been more than six months since the massive earthquake in China's Sichuan province. Eighty-thousand people were killed, and 50,000 others lost limbs in the disaster. Now, the country's amputees are trying to regain a sense of normality - but many, especially the children, find that impossible. Celia Hatton reports from the still-ravaged quake zone. Also, our Fast Draw team takes a stab at one question that's on a lot of economists' minds: Is it better to dole out checks to Americans in the next stimulus package … or to fund long-term construction and infrastructure projects? They'll share what they found - in pictures - tonight. Finally tonight: What if I told you there was a car out there that can get 100 miles per gallon? Anthony Mason got a peek at a radical vehicle and will take us for a spin. I hope you join us, Harry Smith For more information on these stories, please click on the following links: Obama Introduces Economic Team Click Here Citibank's "Sweet Deal" From Government Click Here And here's an early look at one of the stories we are working on for Tuesday’s broadcast: There's something to be very thankful for---the best news about Cancer in a decade.

410p 11/24 Update: Starboard SARJ maintenance complete

=================================

CBS NEWS STS-126 STATUS REPORT: 65
Posted: 4:10 PM, 11/24/08

By William Harwood
CBS News Space Analyst

Changes and additions:

   SR-63 (11/24/08): Spacewalk begins
   SR-64 (11/24/08): Inspection of port SARJ shows signs of wear on bearing race
   SR-65 (11/24/08): Starboard SARJ work complete; port SARJ lubrication now half done

=================================

4:10 PM, 11/24/08, Update: Starboard SARJ work complete

Two-and-a-half hours into today's spacewalk, astronaut Stephen Bowen has installed a final bearing assembly in the space station's starboard solar array rotary joint mechanism and finished cleaning and lubricating a final 30-degree section of its bearing races.

"FInally!" Bowen exclaimed as flight controllers burst into applause.

"Thanks for your work," communicator Terry Virts replied from Houston.

"You're welcome, any time," Bowen said. "Although never on the SARJ again, I hope."

After returning tools and equipment to the station's Quest airlock module, Bowen  plans to make he way forward to the Japanese Kibo lab module to manually retract a berthing latch that will be used next year for attachment of an external experiment platform. He will then re-install thermal covers and attach GPS antennas needed for the docking of a Japanese cargo ship next year.

Fellow spacewalker Robert "Shane" Kimbrough, meanwhile, is working to install an external television camera. He earlier lubricated one half of the station's port-side SARJ drive gear. After the TV camera is attached to the downward-facing side of the port 1 solar array truss segment, he will head back to the port SARJ to complete the lube job.
