Turin is not the birthplace of columbus...the module has been integrated at EADS astrium in bremen germany ;-)...italy is the birhplace of harmony and the mplmīs !!!
You're both right.
The Pre-Integrated Columbus Assembly (i.e. the outer shell and internal structure, and some internal stuff like the thermal control) was built in Turin and later shipped to Bremen for final integration.

Has the module power plug in located in the bay been removed from Columbus, or will that happen after grappling?
Yes that cable was removed a few hours ago, Columbus can be in an "unplugged" state for up to 24 hours (If I remember correctly from the STS-122 preflight briefings a few months ago as that question was asked then). When the SSRMS attaches to Columbus for unberthing, it will receive power and heating through the electrical connection between the SSRMS and the new PDGF on Columbus.

Back here and catching up fast with your updates, I couldn't get too concentrated with so much going on

Doing an inventory of the tools and equipment they have, before moving on to the NTA tasks.

S-band video is now through TDRS-Z, we may get some KU video from Z if we are lucky, but if we do, it will not last long.
7 minutes left in this ZOE pass, 14 minutes to sunrise.

KU coverage will resume in 15 - 20 minutes or so through West for those watching on NASA-TV, 7 minutes to sunrise. Complex is passing south and west of Australia at this time.

We have KU back (maybe for a brief time as I think it is still through Z), sunrise has occurred, next sunset in 55 minutes.

The SSRMS has a firm grapple on Columbus, getting ready soon for unberthing. Complex is passing due south of Sydney, Australia.

No, they are closer to a hour behind the timeline right now, however they should start to catch up soon now that they are done with the Columbus unberthing prep.
I believe we are on KU through West which is good because we should have KU for at least the next 40 minutes or so.
