The Astro Rumour Wiki page has gone hyperactive as rumours flood in.
But, no word still of the Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra Fellowships?!
Getting late in the game.
If you heard, comment, rumourmonger on the wiki, or e-mail me.
We gots to know.
First Hubble Fellowships awards are out, haven't heard how many were made.
NSF Fellowships should be announced early/mid next week.
I hear that Chandra selection cmt met and they hope to make offers next week.
Rumour Wiki continues with news
"Oh, you gonna love this, boy. Tyrone calls you up, you know -- in the game -- and he says 'I can dig more clams than you, stupid!' And you gotta say 'Nuh-uh, boy!' And y'all gotta race down to the beach with your buckets and your shovels, and the object of the game...is to find parking." -Meatwad…
On Wednesday, I gave a breakout session talk on science policy jobs at MIT. I love talking about science policy, so it's not too hard to get me to do it - it's harder to get me to stop - and we had a great group of Boston-area grad students who asked excellent questions. Very fun.

Steinn,
It's a 3 day weekend. People should be out of the house and not worrying about the damned rumor mill. Right now, stressed-out job-seekers are tossing accusations around on the wiki when they should be stepping back for some perspective.
The only reason I'm not taking my own advice is that I'm observing.
Hey, I'm a theorist I don't care, just curious.
But our junior colleagues hoping to be employed really really care. The postdoc market is not going to move until the Hubble Fellowships are announced.
At first, I thought that the NASA fellowships were all waiting to make calls on the same day, but that was clearly wrong. I have yet to hear even a whisper about the Hubble fellowships at my large, thin walled institute. I guess they want to keep everyone in a sweat.
I know they care (and I'm observing with someone who is on the postdoc market). But we all know that nothing will happen on a 3-day weekend anyway. The way to stay sane while on the job market is to put off worrying about things that you cannot control.
There were people (probably just one or a few people) using the wiki to make accusations of unfairness regarding one of the fellowships, and I think that's a sign of a loss of perspective. It should be used for information, not for sniping.
And now they're being posted...
