...screening astronauts for almost 50 years, is not supposed to let loose screws through. Is NASA not as good at this as we thought? Are astronauts more destructible souls than they seem? And what does all this say about the weight-bearing ability of any human mind when the load grows too great? Whatever burdens Nowak was carrying, when she crashed, she crashed hard. A veteran of a single shuttle flight, she had developed what she later told police was "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship" with William Oefelein, 41, a divorced astronaut who flew...
...reassuring to see the 110th Congress put this issue back on high priority. The bill seeks to aid the approximately two-thirds of college students who graduate with debt. Its proponents argue halving the interest rate can help make what would have been a prohibitively heavy debt load manageable for the 5.5 million low- and middle-income students receiving Stafford loans.

...Germany take the load off the U.S. and the rest of Europe? Growth in the 13 nations that have adopted the euro is expected to be 2.6% in 2006, unusually strong for the growth-challenged Continent, and in the past few months it has outpaced the U.S. for the first time in years.

Nevertheless, "Europe is going to have a great year," reckons Harvard professor Kenneth Rogoff, former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund...
...profit shuttle service (or several such services, in competition with each other) is the University’s sometimes adversarial approach to student businesses, most notably Unofficial Tours. To succeed, shuttle businesses might need certain privileges that a group like DormAid does not, such as permission to load and unload buses on campus. Because airport shuttles are a highly useful and cost-saving service for students, the University should do what it can to foster entrepreneurial success in this area, even if this means waiving its usual guidelines on student businesses. This would be especially wise because another alternative?...
