Today, the last photo studio in the world that processes Kodachrome will be shuttered. The studio, in Parsons, Kan., will be sold for scrap. Dozens of visitors and thousands of overnight packages have been sent to the studio in recent weeks. One visitor was a railroad worker who picked up 1,580 rolls of film that cost him $15,798 to develop. Another, perhaps more amazing pilgrimage was a woman from London who flew to Wichita, then drove to the studio to turn in three rolls of film and shoot five more before the deadline.

This year was huge for recalls, led by Toyota. All told, automakers recalled over 19 million vehicles in about 600 recall campaigns this year, the most since 2004.

Gasoline prices had been heading down since 2008, but now analysts see SUV sales and trade-in values dropping as gas prices head up. Prices were over $3 a gallon in the past week, the highest since October 2008. One analyst said SUV sales won't plummet unless gas reaches $3.50 per gallon, but even then the panic to ditch SUVs won't be as bad as it was in spring 2008. The fastest growth in SUVs is in the compact crossover segment -- Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

Nutrisystem is opting for actual customers instead of endorsers with celebrity credentials. The seller of packaged diet meals will not, for now, use Marie Osmond and Dan Marino. Instead, the company will use testimonials from people who have used Nutrisystem. "These are real people; we want them to inspire others," said Joe Redling, CEO of the company, which is behind rivals like Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers saw a 1.9% increase in third-quarter sales while Nutrisystem sales fell 4.1%

As if credit cards won't dig you a deep enough debt hole for you to climb out of, try the ones that let you get cash back. A new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago says 1% cash rewards programs yield on average $25 per month, increasing spend by $68 per month, thus raising debt $115 per month. The bank's economists say that even small rewards can prompt people to spend more by enticing people whose cards were dormant to start spending.

Target is nixing idealistic images of moms, and replacing them with what is meant to be a more realistic, albeit humorous take on parenting. The new campaign says things like "I just had a 20-minute conversation with a stranger about nipples." The new ad push starts next year, suggesting a new approach.

Sales were up 19% in fiscal 2010, thanks in large part to Kettle's premium-priced chips. And with its fiscal first quarter already done, the company says sales should grow 40% in 2011.

Even as attendance falls.

But lose money in the process.
