As Ares I-X roared into the sky a few minutes ago, Lugo was watching the hard work of several hundred of his employees go with it. Glenn engineers designed and built the mockup upper stage, fully one-third of the towering rocket. That upper stage successfully separated from its solid rocket booster about 2 minutes into the flight, then plummeted to the ocean below.Kennedy Space Center, Fla. -- Ramon "Ray" Lugo, the deputy director of Cleveland's NASA Glenn Research Center, has seen a lot of rocket launches during his 36-year career with the space agency, but he still gets excited seeing the "smoke and fire.""How can I feel anything but really good?" Lugo said. "It makes us proud of the accomplishment. It was great. The folks in Cleveland ought to be very proud of the employees of the Glenn Research Center and the contributions they made. There's a lot that Cleveland should be proud of today.Labels: ares l-X, Cleveland should be proud, launch, nasa, ray, smoke and fire
A former writer for David Letterman said she quit his NBC talk show in part because of alleged sexual favoritism and a hostile work environment.Nell Scovell, writing for Vanity Fair online Tuesday, said she had no intention of filing a lawsuit and wasn't seeking revenge.Scovell, who went on to a successful Hollywood career, said in a telephone interview.In the Vanity Fair article, Scovell said Letterman didn't "hit on her" during her roughly five-month stint with NBC's "Late Night with David Letterman" in 1990.Other high-level male employees were having sexual relationships with female staffers as well, she alleges, and the women gained professional benefits from those relationships.CBS News producer Robert J. "Joe" Halderman has pleaded not guilty to trying to extort $2 million from Letterman to keep some of the comedian's sexual affairs quiet. Scovell wrote she doesn't intend to seek legal action.Instead, she said, she wants to call attention to the complete lack of women writers on all talk shows, whether hosted by Letterman or NBC's Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien.She quit Letterman's NBC show, Scovell wrote, because she saw "I was not going to thrive professionally in that workplace. And although there were various reasons for that, sexual politics did play a major part."When Letterman asked why she was leaving the New York-based show, she says she considered telling him the truth but balked because his "rumored mistress" was within earshot. Instead, Scovell writes, she told him she missed Los Angeles.
Taylor Lautner has vowed to never show off his muscular body again in a film.The 17-year-old actor - who plays the part of werewolf Jacob Black in 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' - had to really bulk up for the role.Taylor - who reportedly put on over 30lbs to keep his part in the film - has since said he doesn't want people noticing him just for his muscular body, he wants his acting skills to be recognised as well.He said: "I worked hard to get in shape for this role. My motivation was the movie and the fans, but I don't want to become known as just a body. If I had to choose I would never take my shirt off again in a movie but I guess that's not very realistic. I certainly won't be asking to do it, though."The American star has previously spoken about how he feels uncomfortable in his own skin.He said: "It's so uncomfortable knowing that so many people are seeing pictures of me shirtless. It's weird. It's kind of embarrassing."Taylor has also spoken about how horrified he was when a middle-aged female fan tried to remove her underwear in front of him.He said: "They had my name imprinted on them. So that was kind of strange."Labels: cover up, muscular body, play, taylor, Taylor Lautner
The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge has been closed indefinitely after a rod installed during last month's emergency repairs snapped, causing a traffic nightmare for the 280,000 motorists who cross the landmark span every day.Engineers on Wednesday will evaluate the damage caused when the rod and metal brace fell into the 73-year-old bridge's westbound lanes during Tuesday evening's rush hour.At least two vehicles — a car and a small truck — either were struck by or ran into the fallen rod, said California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Van Eckhardt. No injuries were reported.The California Department of Transportation said Tuesday that it will remain closed indefinitely.The rod that fell Tuesday was erected last month during an emergency repair job. It was holding in place a saddle-like cap that had been installed over a cracked link discovered over the Labor Day weekend.When the rod apparently snapped at about 5:30 p.m., it brought down with it a steel patch roughly 3 feet long.The bridge was closed last month over the holiday weekend for long-planned earthquake safety upgrades. When the crack was discovered, state transportation officials initially feared it would prevent them from reopening the span in time for the start of the work week. But the unexpected work only ended up taking a few extra hours.Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, a civil engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has spent 20 years studying the Bay Bridge, called the initial crack a "warning sign" of potentially bigger safety issues with the bridge.
Naomi Campbell stinks, say the creators of her perfume line.The supermodel is reneging on a lucrative, split-the-proceeds agreement, says the Miami- and London-based group that did the design and marketing work for her fragrance and cosmetics line, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.She's making millions on such fragrances as "Cat Deluxe" and "Seductive Elixir," the lawsuit says.But last year, after seven years of forking over their quarterly cut, Naomi allegedly stopped payments.
