Atlantis launch appears iffy because of weather
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. With its aging space shuttle fleet facing mandatory retirement in two years, NASA planned to launch the first of 13 final flights today after a two-month delay. NASA started fueling the shuttle this morning even though a severe weather system threatened to delay the 1:45 p.m. CST launch of the Atlantis, which will ferry seven astronauts and the $2.1 billion Columbus science lab to the international space station. The space agency's timetable for the flights is its most ambitious since the breakup of the shuttle Columbia five years ago. But some independent experts caution that the schedule is unrealistic because of the spacecrafts' age. The Atlantis has been in service for 23 years. Its sister ships, Discovery and Endeavour, have been flying for 24 and 16 years, respectively.
Parts of Argentina have prairie flavour
Corinne Thomson can turn a morning ride astride a polo pony or a pre-dinner glass of local wine into a near-perfect vacation escape. Of course, these could be just a warm-up to a host of other adventures -- tango lessons, anyone? -- on the tours she operates to Argentina. Thomson runs Voyages Millefleurs, a small company specializing in European and South American vacation quests, and counts many Saskatchewan residents on her client list. .
Film Festival Uses File Sharing App To Pick Entrants
While the MPAA continues to insist there's really no legitimate use for file sharing apps, it appears that one film festival has decided that it's a great distribution mechanism for finding new films. The Cinequest film festival is asking filmmakers to submit their movies to a file sharing platform where people can view the films and vote for their favorites. The fan favorites for feature-length and short films will be added to the actual festival. The organizer has a few quotes that suggests he understands that piracy isn't the problem the MPAA makes it out to be: "No artists have ever starved because too many people knew about them." 7 Comments | Leave a Comment.. .
Cops: KFC manager beat to death with chair
I wish you people would quit making EVERYTHING a race issue. It is what it is, I do not care if he would have been purple he still beat a helpless 61 year old to death with a chair. Can you imagine?? Also do not tell me this wasn't a planned out thing. KFC NEVER has that much money in a front safe at one time so he waited til the "more profitable" weekend came and right before brinks came. To his parents, your son took a life.... You think about that the rest of your lives!!! " .

JUNO: Separating Fact from Fiction
The comedic fictional movie Juno has garnered praise, awards and nominations. It has also created uproar among those of us for whom adoption is not a comedy, but our life. The namesake character in this film was taken from the Roman version of Hera, Greek goddess of marriage, who is not notable as a mother. Myths include that Zeus and/or Hera herself were disgusted with her son, Hephaestus' ugliness and threw him from Mount Olympus. .
New hope for writers
It can survive on peanuts because it's a foundation and employees work for peanuts and their love of books. (How long that will last remains to be seen.) It is not a bank, and it doesn't make grants. LVF kicked up some dust in 2005 when it announced its creation, but it was a mere concept at the time. It has a track record now, and it's encouraging. LVF has helped publish or repackage 11 books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in the past 18 months. All have made some money for the Bildner operation, still a speck of a thing with four employees, including himself, split between New York and Boston. (Truth in advertising: I'm a friend of Ande Zellman, a former editor of the Globe magazine, who is LVF editorial director.) Bildner is the same James Bildner who, in a quick run in the '80s, had a meteoric rise and a breathtaking swan dive with his J.
