I would like to buy a 3600 to get rid of the $6 bill for the 3801 every month. Are there units with FW that won't work? I'd hate to buy one on ebay and find out the FW is old.
Let's say a used (or unused) 3600 acquired from a 3rd party did not have current firmware version 188.8.131.52-plus.tm, would it update itself once connected to the line?
I doubt it, although it might but back in august all of them had to have the update put on them manually before being deployed in the field or they just wouldnt work period.
No. If you get one with old firmware it's DOA.
Thanks Tech007 & Forosnai. That is interesting info and something all should be aware of, if buying a 3600 from a 3rd party. I hope at&t doesn't do that again, luckily my spare 3600 currently has 188.8.131.52-plus.tm on it. If there is no way for an end user to manually update after a firmware release, that is not backwards compatible?, I guess one would be stuck buying a replacement from at&t for $100+.
People who are renting a 3801/3800... Have any of you ever asked a tech to swap you for a 3600?If they have it on the truck they will swap it and not care and thus no longer a fee.I don't have U-verse anymore but a few years back I did... I started out with a 3800, it had issues the guy came and went to swap it for an 3801 as they had just came out. I asked if he had a 3600 and he did, and poof, rental went away ... He didn't understand why I wanted the 3600 but had a few on his truck and didn't care. This why I never purchased it and got to keep it when I canceled in the end.Is this normal practice? who knows. End of the day it's up to the tech if they do or not... If any local centers do swaps too you could prob try/ask the same, walk in and just try to swap for the 3600...
yep that would be the case, so really buy one off ebay spend 20 or 30 plus shipping to find out its a dud and then get charged by ATT for another $100 for a new one and you could have saved yourself 30 right up front
so really buy one off ebay spend 20 or 30 plus shipping to find out its a dud
Definitely verify FW ver. Before buying a 3600 in my opinion the 3801 is a much better RG though way way too many problems with the 3600's most guys don't even keep 3600's on their truck.

Activity in Posterior Parietal Cortex Is Correlated with the Relative Subjective Desirability of Action

Behavioral studies suggest that making a decision involves representing the overall desirability of all available actions and then selecting that action that is most desirable. Physiological studies have proposed that neurons in the parietal cortex play a role in selecting movements for execution. To test the hypothesis that these parietal neurons encode the subjective desirability of making particular movements, we exploited Nash's game theoretic equilibrium, during which the subjective desirability of multiple actions should be equal for human players. Behavior measured during a strategic game suggests that monkeys' choices, like those of humans, are guided by subjective desirability. Under these conditions, activity in the parietal cortex was correlated with the relative subjective desirability of actions irrespective of the specific combination of reward magnitude, reward probability, and response probability associated with each action. These observations may help place many recent findings regarding the posterior parietal cortex into a common conceptual framework.

the phrase D*ck Head now has a meaning.....
Bizarre fish has penis on its head and then it gets weird
Bizarre fish has penis on its head - Technology & science - Science - LiveScience - NBCNews.com A new species of fish with a penis on its head has been discovered in Vietnam. But it's not what you're picturing actually it's probably worse. This penis includes a rod and a jagged hook used for grabbing the female during sex. The fish, Phallostethus cuulong, was discovered by researchers in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. It is the newest member of the Phallostethidae family, a group of fish with small, skinny, nearly transparent bodies that live in Southeast Asia, and which are distinguished by the location of their sex organs. The more technical name for the male fish's penis is the priapium, a complex, muscular organ that looks like it's attached to the fish's chin. The priapium includes the urogential opening and the anus, as well as a bony rod and a sawlike hook, used to clutch on to the female during mating, the researchers said. The female fish's genital opening is also located at her throat. The hook may sound sinister but it seems to serve a practical function. For most fish, fertilization takes place outside the female's body, but for the Phallostethus cuulong and the rest of the family, the eggs are fertilized inside. Hooking on to his mate during sex probably ensures that the male fish will have more success in fertilizing her. [ See Photos of Penis Head Fish ] The fish, though bizarre in its penis placement, is not the only organism with a scary sex organ. During sex, the hermaphroditic sea slug, Siphopteron quadrispinosum, playing the male role will stab its partner with a syringelike penile appendage and inject prostate fluids into the body. Equipped with large hooks at its base and several tiny spines, the sea slug penis latches onto the female reproductive system. Specimens of the new fish were collected and studied by researchers from Can Tho University in Vietnam and zoologist Koichi Shibukawa of the Nagao Natural Environment Foundation in Tokyo, Japan. The new species is known from nine specimens, six males and three females, collected from shallow waters around banks of slow-flowing turbid canals and rivers in Soc Trang and Tra Vinh Provinces, Vietnam. A description of Phallostethus cuulong is detailed in a July edition of the journal Zootaxa |

Wow, now that's strange. There's probably more species like this out there somewhere.

Saint Augustine's University Welcomes the Class of 2016!
More than 400 freshmen moved into their dorms on Saint Augustine's University's campus Friday, August 10, 2012. The move in was a culmination of First Year Experience's 2012 Welcome Week , which is designed to help new students transition to college through a variety of activities that will prepare them for success in and out of the classroom.
President Dr. Dianne Boardley Suber welcomed first year students to the University and assured their parents that faculty, staff and administrators will do the best they can to prepare the students to be competitive in the real world.
"They will learn to have the image and knowledge and the network needed to succeed," stated Suber during her address to freshmen and their parents.
The freshmen participated in various activities throughout the weekend, including a pep rally and class picture.


text: This bleached coral appears as white due to damage done to the Zooxanthellae (zoo-zan-thel-ay) with which it has a mutual symbiotic relationship.Zooxanthellae are actually responsible for giving corals their vibrant colors. They are unicellular algae that live within the hard coral.Corals are unable to generate sufficient amounts of food, so they utilize the algae's ability to photosynthesize and convert chemical elements into energy to supply them with the energy they need. In turn, the coral offers the algae a protected, nutrient-rich place to grow.When coral is bleached, it means that the Zooxanthellae that lived within it has died; this, in turn, means that the coral will die.

Good habits are hard to come by. They require effort. They involve intention and perseverance.

So last year we began praying as a family each night for fifteen to thirty minutes, sometimes longer. It was a time to come together as a family before bed and pray formally. It...

Newest Review: ... PC World to ask whether they were expecting any more stock, or if they could post the model I wanted from a store to my ... more
Caveat emptor - a customer service nightmare
Member Name: Gowza
Date: 04/01/10, updated on 04/01/10 (109 review reads)
Advantages: If nothing goes wrong you're in luck
Disadvantages: If something does go wrong you better stock up on the Valium
This review was originally submitted under DooYoo's 'misc-systems' section as there's a PC World review section there too.
Order with free delivery was placed online and confirmation email recieved, only to later receive a cancellation/declined email as unit was out of stock.
Customer services were unable to help but advised me to re-order as stock was now in (why can't an IT Services company do this automatically?!).
Second order was placed with cust. services on phone who confirmed my reservation only to get the same response 24 hrs later (confirmation followed by cancellation emails due to lack of stock).
This resulted in a nightmare of long phone calls (over 2 hours) to people who only have a script to work off, no authority to authorise things and just want to get you off the phone by promising what you want to hear.
One advisor actually got quite angry when I reminded him that I was a paying customer trying to spend my money with his company....
Advisors won't give their names (company policy - for "fear of retribution" apparently!) and refused to escalate my call to higher management or give out their head office number which I found on the Consumer Action Group webpage (it's 01727-202120 btw).
This whole episode has cost sleepless nights, hours of time on 0844 numbers (at 5 - 10p/per min) and no item despite promises all round and that's before attempting to locate the item elsewhere at £50+ extra. Throughout all of this, the website was continually showing items were available for both delivery and collection; clearly untrue as I desperately tried to work with both solutions without any success.
This has left us in a sticky position - try explaining to a 9 year old that we were unable to get her eagerly awaited present due to PC World's complete lack of interest and total incompetance. In fact I'm still awaiting a promised return phone call from head office to discuss this issue further.
How PC World's website can say 'Reputation for excellent customer service' (http://about.pcworld.co.uk/link/terms.html) along with 'Our team of agents are dedicate to support you with your order both before you buy and after your purchase' and 'Our experienced advisors will be able to answer your question quickly and provide you with reliable information' (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/editorial/Custom er_Services) is beyond me and must be treading a thin Trading Standards line.
A bad salesman always sells on price and it's obviously their prices that continue to get customer's wallets out - when things run smoothly PC World is probably as good as any other disinterested business but if you encounter problems, you better stock up on the Valium.
I and my business have spent thousands in their stores but never, ever again. Incidently, I mentioned the above to a friend who works at a national newspaper and they seem to think the above is worthy of a story.....
Summary: Will never use again, ever. Would give 0 rating if possible.

I have always tried to be an example for them because I never wanted them to want for anything & the best way to assure their future success was to be their example. I'm blessed that all five of my children have had & are still employed thru this recession. It looks like they followed my advice! |

| Posted about 3 years ago I love my family! There are many ways I am inspired. I am inspired in nursing by role models like Dr. Jean Watson. I am inspired spiritually by women who see themselves as empowered and loved by God for who they are: creative, resourceful, and whole. I am inspired by my grandchildren, who love their "nana" with a pure loving heart. They rock my world. I am inspired by my children who were taught to see no limits in themselves. I am inspired by my husband who still loves me after all these years. I am inspired by my parents who taught me values. My dad is gone now, but he inspired me to be an entrepreneur. When we were children, we raised food in gardens, and he allowed us to sell our products from the fruit of our labor and taught us the meaning of open commerce and possibilities. He also subscribed to Mother Earth News, which was the new "green" magazine back in the day. I guess he is where I get my "green" and natural flare from as well. Joyce Harrell, RN, OCN

Five Destinations for the "Super-Adventurous"
The two scariest places on the list are Iraq and Afghanistan, thanks to the fact there are ongoing wars in both places. Iraq has just officially reopened for tourist traffic for the first time since 2003, with small tours visiting some of the historical sites throughout the country. Afghanistan, on the other hand, has generally remained open these past few years, although certain places remain safer than others. That country is lauded for its historical landmarks as well, although the more remote regions get a nod for scenic beauty too.
Which brings us to the final destination on their top five, which is Transylvania. While I'm sure the country is interesting and exotic, it doesn't exactly strike me as an "adventure" destination. They recommend taking a Dracula tour, which really isn't inspiring adventure either. Compared to the other four on the list, Transylvania, which I'm sure is quite lovely, is down right safe and boring for adventure travelers
Reading over their list I can't help but wonder if an adventure travel destination needs to be intrinsically dangerous to appeal to that segment of the travel industry. Personally, I don't think so, as I think there are great adventure destinations that are not necessarily dangerous. But looking at the Wall Street Journal's choices, it seems that they think there should be an element of danger involved, even if it is from vampires.

Quick clarification: Transylvania isn't a country. It's a region within Romania.

Colombia is safe in the bigger cities like Cartagena (along the Caribbean coast) and Bogota. The majority of the crime by the FARC that is reported in the international media takes place in the rural areas in the southeast part of the country where tourism isn't that great.
Please review the post and switch ColUmbia to ColOmbia.

I often travell to transylvania for business. I don't think its there more dangerous than in other big citys. It don't fit at all to the other 4 countrys.

Friday night at Westside Stadium was a microcosm of two seasons.
One was jubilant. The other? Disheartened and downcast.
For 24 minutes, Westside looked headed for jubilation after playing its best first half of the season.
But mistakes and critical penalties cost the Rams dearly — and sent the party to the Wren sideline.
The Golden Hurricanes spotted Westside a 17-point halftime lead, then rallied in the second half for a thrilling 28-24 victory over the Rams that left coach Ted Luckadoo's bunch dejected.
Wren (6-2, 2-0) clinched its first winning season since 1996; Westside (0-8, 0-2) is winless eight games in for the first time since 2000.
"It's really big for these kids," Wren coach Jeff Tate said. "I've been on teams that have been undefeated and won only one game. Not to steal from coach Harold Jones, but there's nothing greater than waking up on Saturday morning and finding a victory. It means so much to your kids, your school."
Luckadoo was at a loss after watching his team commit 15 penalties and a game-changing turnover which ultimately cost dearly.
"You take nothing but a dadgum gut-hurt (from this)," he said. "It eats your guts out. We played so well in the first half and we've got to learn to finish it. It's our fault. We made some mistakes and let them back in it. We didn't get what we went for."
The game changed after Wren scored with 6:42 left in the third quarter to pull within 10 points. On the ensuing kickoff, Westside fumbled, and the Hurricanes recovered.
Two plays later, quarterback Austin McCaskill hooked up with Raymond Rogers for a 31-yard score. Suddenly, a 17-point halftime lead was 24-21.
"It was almost like you could feel (the momentum) in the air whoosh to us," McCaskill said.
Luckadoo agreed.
"The fumble was the momentum-swinger. It happened. We've got to learnt o play through that stuff," Luckadoo said. "We didn't. When you're 0-7, something like that happens, you start looking around like, 'Here it goes again.'"
Another gigantic penalty turned the game for good. Late in the third quarter, Westside had Wren in a rare punt situation, facing fourth and 32 at the Rams 46. But the Rams roughed McCaskill on the punt, an automatic first down.
That extended the drive, and with 4.6 seconds left in the quarter, tailback Levi Bufford gave Wren its first lead with an eight-yard touchdown run.
Westside had one big drive left. The Rams converted a fourth down of their own at the 46 and drove to the Hurricanes' 7, where they had a third and one. But quarterback Brandon McCann threw a screen pass to tailback Zay Smith, which was snuffed out for a seven-yard loss.
"We had a play called, wanted to change it, didn't get it in," Luckadoo said. "That's my fault."
On fourth and eight, McCann's pass to Anthony McCoppin in the end zone went wide, ending the final chance.
It looked so different in the first half.
Westside took the ball first and quickly seized momentum. Following two rushes for 22 yards, Smith burst up the middle and raced untouched for a 59-yard touchdown; the Rams covered three plays and 84 yards in just 63 seconds.
After a strange decision by Tate to go for it on fourth and 7 from his own 40 – McCaskill's pass was incomplete – the Rams' offense struck again.
Thanks in large part to two third-down conversions, Westside drove inside the Wren 10, and McCann hooked up with McCoppin on third and goal for a five-yard touchdown, giving the Rams a 14-0 lead with 6:11 left in the first quarter.
Midway through the second quarter, Wren drove inside the Westside 35 before the defense came up huge again. McCaskill tried a quarterback sneak on fourth and 2 from the Ram 33, but was stuffed cold.
Facing a fourth and 5 from the Hurricanes' 6, Luckadoo rolled the dice and won; McCann found Tavious Jackson at the 1 for a first down.
Two plays later, he found Rocky Jones open in the right corner of the end zone for a score, giving the Rams a 21-0 lead with 9:06 left in the half.
"We didn't have any answer for them, especially in the first half," Tate said. "We couldn't get in a rhythm offensively, missed on a couple of plays, didn't execute well. "
It was much better after halftime — which has Wren looking like a playoff team for the first time in 13 years.
"I can't say enough good things about the effort our kids gave tonight," Tate said. "It was a big win. We've got three region games left but we're going to celebrate tonight, rejoice and be thankful we found a way to win the game."

Great except for the soft PINS.
By Keith

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Central-Machinery Compact Bender:
I bought this about a year ago to bend 1/4 flat stock, it worked good. The only problem I had was the pins were a little soft. I tried to bent 1/2 rod around the center pin for a tight radius. I ended up putting a kink in the side of the ceneter pin to where it wouldn't fit the rollers. So I say get yourself some harder pins.(try buying grade 8 bolts that has solid bodies, the ones over 6 inchs long)

Great for the price!!
By cwlewis123
from Louisa, Va.
Comparing apples to apples this bender is super. I have bent 1/2 inch mild rod 180 deg. Sure there are better benders out there but this will get the job done well and you will have more cash left for metal or other needed things. I found a company that sells replacement parts if needed($$$..) or mill your own. Great buy for the price.

well worth the money!!
By Overkill Will
from Whitney, Texas
About Me Professional
I've been a metal fabricator for about 11 years now and have went through a few pieces of bending equipment. This bender is great!! It can get alittle awkward with succesive multiple bends but, with a cheater bar and some shop built dies and stops this bender can be set up for production use. Bending 11/16" hot rolled round bar and 1/4"X2 1/2" wide cold rolled flat is about the maximum. so it has has a wide range of capacity.. I have personally built over 300 custom barstools,chandeliers and other custom furniture using this bender.

Amazing the bends you can make.
By Tanner

I use this product at home. When I need to make a bend I have a machine just for bending, sure make it easier.Don't be afraid to experiment I still have a lot to learn how useful this bender is and what it is capable of doing.

Good Basic Bender

Very sturdy well made. Directions on how to use not the greatest. With a little playing around not hard to figure out how to use. Would highly recomend for someone who needs to bend brackets, etc, that does not want to spend a fortune.

Don't expect much
By nothappy
attempted to use the product to bend some legs for a table out of 3/16 x 1" flat hot rolled. Yoke arm holes are out of alignment by almost 1/4", resulting in bends that are not anywhere near square. Haven't decided whether or not to return the unit; may use it for a template to make my own and scrap the original parts except for the dies, pins, and post. Consider spending more on a better unit from another vendor; I've ruined [$] in material in a short time.

Raleigh The N.C. House is set to resume talks Tuesday on a bill transferring control of Charlotte Douglas International Airport from the city to an independent board.
The House Transportation Committee will debate a bill that would hand management of US Airways top hub to a 13-member authority made up of appointees from Charlotte, five surrounding counties, the state legislature and the governor. Two of those members would come from Charlotte, which has drawn criticism from opponents in the city who want a greater role in any future board.
The Senate already passed its version of the bill. Rep. Bill Brawley, a Matthews Republican and the lead sponsor of the authority measure in the House, declined to say last week what changes would be incorporated into the Senate bill.
House Speaker Thom Tillis, a Republican from Cornelius, has said hes willing to give the city a bigger voice in his chambers version of the bill.
Charlotte officials had wanted a group to study recommendations from consultant Bob Hazels study. Hazel said an authority could be the best way to run Charlotte Douglas International Airport, though not necessarily structured as it would be in the Senate-passed bill.

Ukraine plays hardball with Russia — and loses
Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych had much explaining to do at the summit meeting of the European Union in Vilnius, Lithuania, last week.
After six years of negotiation on an EU-Ukraine trade pact and political association agreement that was finally due to be signed at Vilnius, he had to explain why he wasn't going to sign it after all.
"The economic situation in Ukraine is very hard, and we have big difficulties with Moscow," says Yanukovych in a private conversation with Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel that was broadcast by Lithuanian television. "I would like you to hear me. I was alone for three and a half years (since his election in 2010) in very unequal conditions with Russia ... one to one."
So Ukraine is putting the deal on hold indefinitely — and the EU promptly accused Yanukovych of being gutless. "If you blink in front of Russia, you always end up in trouble," said the EU's Commissioner for Enlargement, Stefan Fule. "Yanukovych blinked too soon." At least 10,000 outraged Ukrainians who had reached the same conclusion came out on the streets of Kiev in protest on the following day.
It was starting to look like a rerun of the Orange Revolution that had forced Yanukovych out of power after he won a fraudulent election in 2004, so early Saturday morning the riot police attacked the protesters and drove them from the square. But on Sunday the demonstrators were back on Independence Square 100,000 strong, and Yanukovych had to issue a public apology for the attack.
We've been here before, haven't we? The big Russian bully threatens some ex-Soviet country that is now looking west, and the craven local ruler gives in. Pro-democracy demonstrators come out in the streets, and peace, justice and pro-Western policies triumph. Except this time, it's not like that.
The big Russian bully bit is still true. Moscow has already seen three of its former possessions in Europe — Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — join the European Union. It sees the future of the remaining six — Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan — as a zero-sum game between Russia and the EU, and it plays hard ball.
The big issue, however, was always Ukraine.
Russia has been turning the screws on Ukraine hard, because with 45 million people and a serious industrial base it is the most important of the ex-Soviet states. Ukraine's trade in 2012 was almost equally split between Russia and the EU, but over the past year Russian-Ukrainian trade has fallen by a quarter.
"That's a huge blow to our economy and we can't ignore it," Ukraine's energy minister, Eduard Stavitsky, told the BBC. Stavitsky had asked repeatedly about getting compensation from the EU for the trade with Russia that Ukraine was losing as a punishment for its dalliance with "the West" — but "all we got were declarations that Ukraine would profit from a deal with the EU in the medium to long term."
Unfortunately, politicians have to live in the short term, and Yanukovych's problem (and Ukraine's) is that the country is divided down the middle. His supporters are mostly Russian-speakers who live in the heavily industrialized eastern half of the country — and those are the people who will really suffer if Russia cuts off its trade with Ukraine.
Yanukovych would not have spent three and a half years negotiating a deal with the EU if he had no intention of ever going through with it. Why bother? He was trying to cut a deal that would satisfy the aspirations of pro-EU voters, especially in the nationalist, Ukrainian-speaking west of the country, without destroying the livelihood of his own supporters in the east.
Either the EU didn't understand his dilemma, or it didn't care. It demanded that he choose between east and west, and made no offer to compensate Ukraine for its big short-term losses if it signed a deal with the EU.
So Yanukovych has put the whole thing on indefinite hold, but that doesn't mean he'll throw in his lot with the Eurasian Union instead. If he can ride out the demos that are currently rocking Kiev, then in the longer term he will probably make a cautious return to talks with the EU.

In the upcoming 9-episode series, celebrities including Matt Damon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ian Somerhalder, Harrison Ford and more will act as correspondents delving into the different impacts climate change has had and is projected to have on the world. The project aims to show the current and intensifying effects on everyday Americans, while demonstrating how they can take action and be part of the solution.Showtime boss on Homeland's "big reset" and the plan for what's next
"The things [scientists] talk about sometimes don't resonate with the public," Schwarzenegger told reporters during the show's Television Critics Association panel. "There are very simple messages, but only actors will get the ultimate attention. This is why it's important when you're [famous] that you look at the power of communicating and use it for something positive."

LeParmentier is best known for his role in 1977's Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, in which he played Darth Vader's cohort Admiral Conan Antonio Motti. Darth, using the "force," memorably strangled Motti, who was the Death Star commander, for disloyalty. Star Wars fans have long been fond of his short but memorable role.
Remember other celebrities we lost this year
Harrison Ford has already said he's interested in reprising his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, and now his Star Wars co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are looking to revive their characters Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as well, according to reports.
It looks as if we could be meeting Richard Castle's dad next year. Exec producer Andrew Marlowe is considering an "explosively personal" February-sweeps two-parter of ABC's Castle that would introduce the patriarch in a way that would profoundly impact both his son's and granddaughter Alexis' lives.
What kind of man might he be? "I'm pretty sure he's... read more

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Endeavour and its crew of six zoomed toward a middle-of-the-night landing Wednesday to bring NASA's second-to-last space shuttle flight to a close.
Commander Mark Kelly and his co-pilot fired the braking rockets to begin the hourlong descent from orbit. Endeavour was due to touch down at 2:35 a.m. EDT.
Meanwhile, Atlantis slowly made its way to the launch pad for the last shuttle flight, coming up in just five weeks. Atlantis crept out of the mammoth Vehicle Assembly Building a little after sunset, bathed in xenon lights. Thousands of Kennedy Space Center workers and their families gathered to see Atlantis make its way to the pad.
"The show pretty much tells itself," Atlantis' commander, Christopher Ferguson, said as he waved toward his ship. "We're going to look upon this final mission as a celebration of all that the space shuttle has accomplished over its 30-year life span."
Kelly and his crew were eager to get home and hand the spotlight over to the Atlantis crew.
"Endeavour's performed really, really well for us over these 16 days, as it has since its first flight," Kelly said.
Endeavour left the International Space Station over the weekend. The astronauts put the finishing touches on the orbiting lab, installing a $2 billion cosmic ray detector, an extension beam and a platform full of spare parts - enough to keep the station operating in the shuttle-less decade ahead.
Atlantis will blast off on the final flight ever by a shuttle July 8. The three-mile trip from the hangar - the beginning of it lined with the cars of space center workers seeking a front-row view - should be completed soon after Endeavour lands.
It will be just the 25th time NASA has brought a space shuttle back to Earth in darkness - representing less than one-fifth of all missions.
All four astronauts assigned to Atlantis' flight were on hand for the historic double-header.
"Look how majestic it looks rolling out to the launch pad," said Atlantis astronaut Sandra Magnus. "It's really hard to say goodbye to the program. But on the other hand, look at the great things that we've accomplished and look at what we can do with that in the next era."
Endeavour will have traveled 123 million miles by flight's end - on all 25 of its voyages - and spent 299 days in space. It's the youngest of NASA's shuttles, first flying in 1992 as the replacement for Challenger.
In a series of TV interviews late Monday, the Endeavour astronauts talked about how huge and spectacular the space station has become. It's so sprawling that it barely fits in the shuttle viewfinder from 600 feet out, pilot Gregory Johnson said.
And as has become the custom, Kelly fielded numerous questions about his wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
Giffords, who's recovering from a gunshot wound to the head, remained at her rehab center in Houston. She traveled to Kennedy for the launch, but the landing time was too inconvenient to warrant another trip, her husband said.
On Monday, she had the stitches removed from the skull reconstruction that she underwent just two days into his flight.
Kelly said he'll call her as soon as he lands - he expects his first words to be "I'm back" - and embrace her once he returns to Houston the day after touchdown.
Kelly said he has no regrets about having made the flight. He took a leave from NASA when the shooting occurred Jan. 8 in Tucson, Ariz., and for a while thought he might have to quit. But Giffords improved so much that when Kelly moved her to Houston for rehabilitation, he resumed flight training.
"In hindsight, it was absolutely the right decision," Kelly said. That's evidenced by the fact that the crew met all of its objectives in orbit: installing the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, carrying out four spacewalks, wrapping up the U.S. portion of space station construction.
Endeavour is the second shuttle to be retired; it ultimately will be at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Discovery ended its last voyage in March; its final destination is a Smithsonian Institution hangar outside Washington. Atlantis will remain at Kennedy Space Center as a tourist stop.
NASA is leaving the Earth-to-orbit business behind to focus on expeditions to asteroids and Mars. Private companies hope to pick up the slack for cargo and crew hauls to the space station.

A Celebration of Marriage
A Celebration of Marriage
In a special Jubilarian Mass celebrated by Cardinal Donald Wuerl, 582 couples renewed their wedding vows and received commemorative certificates celebrating their anniversaries of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 or more years of wedded life. In all, 804 couples in the archdiocese are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, totaling 33,000 years of marriage.
The video below highlights Sunday, June 3, 2012, when nearly 600 couples from the parishes across the Archdiocese of Washington attended a Jubilarian Mass and were honored for their vocation to marriage by renewing their vows at this special Mass with the Archbishop of Washington, Cardinal Wuerl.
In addition to renewing their vows and receiving a special blessing during Mass, all couples received personalized certificates commemorating their special anniversary following the Mass.
The video below highlights testimonials given by couples about the beauty of the vocation to marriage and how they were able to stay married for so many years.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters as it ages. It is matured in old, 1460-litre vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of Cabernet is sometimes used to improve structure, the focal point for St Henri remains Shiraz.
"Henri achieves its finesse and integration through aging in old, 1,460-liter oak vats, where the wine develops structure without taking on overt wood notes. That structure is furthered by a small amount of cabernet (nine percent of the blend in 2008). The wine layers red raspberry with darker fruit and black, earthen tannins, creating a tailored impression of elegance. Accessible now after some time in a decanter, this is built to drink around ten years from the vintage and to age significantly longer." 94 Points Wine & Spirits
"Saturated ruby. Deeply pitched dark berry and cherry aromas are complemented by notes of cola, licorice and mocha, with a vanilla undertone. Plush and expansive, offering sweet blackcurrant and cherry-vanilla flavors that become smokier and spicier with air. Closes with impressive power, gentle tannic grip and sweet persistence." 93 Points International Wine Cellar

Demonstrators in Royal Oak, Michigan rallied for a state ballot initiative opposing the new federal health care law. President Obama is set to go to Iowa this week to begin building public support for the overhaul, passed by the House Sunday. (Bill Pugliano/Getty Images)
WASHINGTON — Buoyed by a historic victory, President Obama and the Democrats hope to quickly tap the momentum from passage of their big health care bill to advance other initiatives on their political agenda, including curbing greenhouse gases, imposing new rules on Wall Street, and overhauling immigration laws.
But success on any of those fronts is by no means assured, despite the popping corks and bumping fists. Republicans are seeking to blunt any sense of Democratic progress, starting this week with efforts to scuttle a health care reconciliation measure in the Senate, and followed by a blistering repeal campaign that will target the health legislation leading up to November's congressional elections.
At a bill signing today, Obama will celebrate the most significant domestic policy victory of his term when he enacts a sweeping health care bill to help an additional 32 million Americans obtain health insurance. It is the most significant expansion of health coverage in America in four decades.
It's OK Republicans, after 8 years of your majority, this country is used to your dragging of the heels and predictions of doom. We don't expect you to help, just don't get in the way. Progress marches on without you.
Rotarix is given by mouth to children of six weeks and older to treat the viral infection rotavirus
LONDON — European medical regulators were urgently seeking information Monday from British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline after finding traces of a virus that normally infects swine in a childrens' vaccine.
DNA originating from the virus -- which is not known to cause disease in either animals or humans -- was found in the Rotarix oral vaccination used to protect against diarrhea and vomiting, said the European Medicines Agency.
"The findings do not present a public health threat," said the agency in a statement, adding it had decided not to take any action at this stage.
"It is nonetheless clear that viral DNA should not be present in the vaccine and that its source is unclear," it said.
This is a strange situation, not normal yet not considered a danger, what is a doctor supposed to do in the meantime? Stop giving Rotarix injections? Is there any substitute on the market?
ATLANTA (Legal Newsline) - A week after upholding two provisions of a 2005 tort reform package, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously decided Monday that placing caps on damages is unconstitutional. The decision overturns another part of the 2005 package, one that put a $350,000 limit on non-economic damages in medical malpractice lawsuits. The opinion, authored by Chief Justice Carol Hunstein, says the law violates the right to trial by a jury. "(W)hile we have held that the Legislature generally has the authority to define, limit, and modify available legal remedies, the exercise of such authority simply cannot stand when the resulting legislation violates the constitutional right to jury trial," Hunstein wrote.

A small clause in the health care reform bill will require chain restaurants to display calorie counts and other nutritional information on menus. Here, calories are listed next to menu items at a Chipotle Mexican Grill in New York City.
While most Americans were wondering what health care reform might mean for their insurance premiums, businesses and taxes, a select few were scrambling to prepare for Section 2572 of the 2,000-page document. This clause will force chain restaurants and vending machines to post nutritional labels on their food. The menu-labeling legislation is modeled after programs that New Yorkers and Californians have already become accustomed to. Restaurants with more than 20 locations will be required to display caloric and nutritional information for every menu offering, with the exception of daily specials. The new federal rules will supersede those already set out by states or municipalities. It's a streamlining effort that's been embraced by the industry's leading magazine, Nation's Restaurant News, which called it "the one victory" the bill offers restaurant owners.
The question, it seems, is not what Jesus would eat but how much.
According to a new study in the International Journal of Obesity, artists' depictions of the Last Supper have seen the main courses balloon by 69 per cent, plate sizes by 66 per cent, and bread size by 23 per cent over the last 1,000 years. The researchers say this supports the idea that "portion distortion" isn't a modern phenomenon at all, but rather a trend that's developed over at least a millennium.
"There's been a tendency for portions — whether what we serve ourselves or what we're served in restaurants — to become exaggeratedly bigger with the passage of time," says Brian Wansink, a professor at Cornell University and author of the bestselling book Mindless Eating.
"A lot of people want to blame this on events of the last 20 years when, really, it's part of a much bigger trend."
The study, titled The Largest Last Supper, was co-authored by Wansink's brother, Craig, a professor of religious studies at Virginia Wesleyan College.
Medicaid ranks are swelling even without health reform, posing problems for state budgets everywhere. /AP
It was easy to miss, amid the eight or nine hours of House discussion of health reform, but leave it to a Kentucky Congressman, Rep. Brett Guthrie of Bowling Green, to bring up one of the most difficult issues ahead for Florida now that health reform legislation is about to become law:
Millions more people are about to qualify for Medicaid, the state-administered, government-provided insurance program for the poor. States like Florida are having a profoundly difficult time paying for their share of it even now:
"What we're not mentioning is the incredible unfunded mandate that we're putting on states," Guthrie warned.

This week the GOP candidate beefed up campaign staff, releases a new TV ad in Iowa, and unveils an economic plan that features a flat tax. Is it enough for Rick Perry to climb back up in the polls?

Rick Perry is making an all-out push to persuade voters that his weeks-long decline in the presidential polls is only temporary.
This week he beefed up his campaign staff with prominent new hires, is releasing a TV ad in Iowa, and on Tuesday will unveil a new tax plan that does away with the current rates in favor of a flat tax on most earners.
The question is, will it be enough?
When the Texas governor entered the race in August, he jumped to the front of the polls, leading the field for several weeks, until a series of lackluster debate performances and other missteps contributed to a precipitous decline. In the latest polling average, Governor Perry trails both Mitt Romney and Herman Cain by about 13 percentage points.
