...control of the space station supposed to transfer from the Russians to the U.S. during the mission? Actually, operational control shifts from Mission Control-Moscow to Mission Control-Houston whenever a shuttle launches from Cape Canaveral. This time, though, the shift may be permanent. Since the first segments were launched in 1998, the U.S. components have had to depend on Russian modules for power and navigation. With Destiny in place, that will change. Electricity generated by 240-foot solar paneled "wings" installed in December will now power most of the station. And Destiny carries the computers that will drive four...

With Mir scheduled to de-orbit in March, the nation that has always led the world in long-duration space flight may now take a backseat to a "partner" that was once its bitter rival. The ISS blueprint calls for more Russian segments to arrive, including a power station and science lab of their own. But while most of the U.S. components are complete and waiting to be launched, and European and Japanese segments are at least funded, the Russians...

Paige promised, for instance, that within three years, he would rid the district of what Fallon calls "deadwood principals"--the system's longtime underperformers. "Some of them came with the first brick in the building," Fallon says. "We figured nothing was going...
...must urge the Faculty to maintain it as a top priority as well. In addition, we must work to eliminate bureaucratic barriers to students' receiving Core exemptions for equivalent work in non-Core courses. We have to pay special attention to the way Core and concentration requirements affect transfer students and students who take time off to study abroad...
