Space shuttle launch called off Wednesday

·

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A faulty fuel gauge on Discovery's external tank forced NASA to call off Wednesday's launch of the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster 2 1/2 years ago. The space agency did not immediately set a new launch date. The decision came with less than 2 1/2 hours to go before launch, as the seven astronauts were almost done boarding the spacecraft. Up until then, rain and thunder over the launch site appeared to be the only obstacle to an on-time liftoff.

Quick hitter

·

It's that time of year again and the Tour de France has begun. The riders, with Lance Armstrong leading the pack, are now in the Alps. Armstrong, known well for punishing other riders into submission through the mountains, has continued to do much of the same this year. Trailing two days ago, he has started to build a soft, early cushion in the peaks and currently leads by 38 seconds. Could he really do it again?
