...hasn't expanded (it's $43,318), houses have--to an average 2,340 sq. ft.--and 70% of mothers living with children ages 6 to 17 are in the workplace. It speaks to both the technical advantages and the discretionary spending of 13-year-olds that today required gear ranges from iPods to PlayStations to Xboxes ... and a deck of cards, as poker takes over middle school...
...rejected Southern love in “Sweet Home Alabama”) and Jessica Biel, known as the “wild child” Mary Camden in TV’s “Seventh Heaven,” and, oh yeah, for her topless pictorial in Gear magazine. But you’re probably not going to garner too many big names for your summer blockbuster when your pitch goes: “It’s like ‘Top Gun’ married ‘The Terminator’/‘I, Robot?...
...reason to be excited, particularly since that business of coming home should have been relatively routine--at least by the high-wire standards of space travel. After shimmying out of their sleep restraints, the crew would stow gear and belt themselves into their seats--a process that would take a good six hours. With Columbia turned rump forward, the commander would then fire the main maneuvering engines, slowing the spacecraft and easing it toward the upper wisps of the atmosphere. Once he turned the ship around, he would surf the currents of the steadily thickening air, fishtailing this...
...crossing over San Francisco, a data point flickered on monitors at Mission Control indicating that the flow of information recording the temperature of the hydraulic systems in Columbia's left wing had suddenly ceased. At 8:56, when the ship was somewhere over Utah, the temperature in the landing gear and brake lining--again on the left side--registered high. Two minutes later, three temperature sensors embedded in the skin on the left flank of the ship quit transmitting. A minute later, temperature sensors in the left tires winked out too. All these data hiccups were reported by the mission...
...remains minimal. And not as a result of the large piece of foam that spun off relatively safely. The photographic inspection has revealed three divots on the underside of the craft, one of which is 1.5 inches long, adjacent to the wheel-well where the front landing gear is stored. If superheated gases stream into that open space during reentry, it can create a kind of vapor bomb inside the ship. But the photography suggests the divot isn't deep enough to cause that danger. So far, it looks like they'll be fine...
