...laid-back mix of workshops, tastings and dinners at a chic marina resort near Thessaloniki. Christoforos Peskias, whose Athens restaurant 48 has one Michelin star, promises to outdo his debut last year, when he deconstructed the Greek salad with tomato sorbet, peppers and feta in jelly, cucumber in foam, onion in thin chips and olive puree. A fine line-up of Mediterranean chefs will complement the Hellenic focus. www.saniresort.gr...
...history and literature concentrator in Adams House. Returning for a second semester, her column, “Spilt Milk,” will examine the collision of modern mores with conventional society on alternate Tuesdays. Incidentally, Caldwell only cries over spilt triple nonfat lattes with extra foam...
Shannon spent five hours with a team of about 200 engineers and mission management folks going over the data on Endeavour's gouge, caused by the seemingly unstoppable shedding of foam insulation off the external fuel tank during launch. The gouge was determined to be of a size and in a location that would not create danger to the crew or ship. Shannon says the vote was not unanimous but "pretty overwhelming" for Endeavour to return home without repair...
Fifty-eight seconds after launch, a fragment of ice or insulating foam once again broke away from the shuttle's external fuel tank and - once again - left a deep divot in the ship's insulating tiles. It was foam damage that killed the shuttle Columbia in February 2003, when superheated gases generated during reentry entered the ship through a breach in the insulation. Ever since then, astronauts have given their spacecraft a close visual inspection upon reaching orbit to look for any troublesome chips. On Sunday, a 3D laser imager attached to Endeavour's robotic arm revealed what could...
...greater the jagged area exposed to the force of rentry - something which can, in theory, lead to a catastrophic peeling away of whole stretches of tiles. The comparative severity of the injury to Endeavour is leading NASA to conclude that it was probably denser ice, not comparatively light foam, that is responsible for the damage...
