Given that the DPIR has nine sections and three appendices, perusing and negotiating all relevant aspects in a timely manner will require collaboration among the task force, the University, and the BRA, as well as a conscientious effort to keep all parties up to speed...
...thought he showed a tough side from the time he was with the U.S. [Hockey National Team] Development Program, and we didn’t know if his foot speed was good enough,” said Predators Assistant General Manager Paul Fenton. “We saw he had greatly improved. There was never a question about his work ethic, character and attitude. He’s a tremendous kid with the kind of character and size we’re looking for on the walls...
...km/h). A stream of charged atoms has somewhat less oomph than a burst of fire--less force than the weight of a single piece of paper, in fact--but over time it adds up. "It's acceleration with patience," says Rayman. "In the four days it takes to increase speed by 60 m.p.h., we'll use only 2 lbs. of propellant. If we keep thrusting, however, we can achieve extremely high speed." Indeed they can. By the time Dawn completes its four-year journey to the neighborhood of Vesta, a trip made longer by the slow acceleration, it will have...
...matter what the ship eventually reveals about Vesta and Ceres, NASA believes a successful mission could help establish ion technology as the propulsion system of choice for any mission in which the need for fuel is high and the need for speed is low. "Because of ion propulsion," says Rayman, "Dawn can explore the last unexplored worlds in the solar system." Not bad on a single small tank...
...forecasters and Proenza, who this year replaced the avuncular Max Mayfield as the Hurricane Center's chief, doesn't look likely to lose strength any time soon. At the heart of the dispute is an aging weather satellite, known as QuickScat, named for the scatterometer that measures wind speed and direction. Proenza has argued for months that QuickScat, which was launched in 1999 and is well past its lifespan, needs to be replaced as soon as possible. And he has publicly criticized his bosses at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for not acting quickly enough. If QuickScat were...
